The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond web (ABFAB) Use Cases' (draft-ietf-abfab-usecases-05.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond web Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stephen Farrell and Sean Turner. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-abfab-usecases/ Technical Summary Federated identity is typically associated with Web-based services at present, but there is growing interest in its application in non Web- based contexts. The goal of this document is to document a selection of the wide variety of these contexts whose user experience could be improved through the use of technologies based on the ABFAB architecture and specifications. Working Group Summary There has been some WG discussion around the Telecoms use case and the extent to which it should figure in this draft. The current text has WG consensus on that. Document Quality Given that this is a use-cases document there are no implementation plans. The contributors of use-cases have been credited. The document has been presented on a number of occasions which have led to inclusion of the Plasma and Telecoms use cases. The WGLC did not result in any voicing of discent, nor in consent for that matter. But that is probably not a problem given earlier on list and at meeting discussions and the nature of the document.
