The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An information model for Kerberos version 5' (draft-ietf-krb-wg-kdc-model-16.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Kerberos 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-krb-wg-kdc-model/ Technical Summary This document describes an information model for Kerberos version 5 from the point of view of an administrative service. There is no standard for administrating a kerberos 5 Key Distribution Center (KDC). This document describes the services exposed by an administrative interface to a KDC. Working Group Summary This document represents the consensus of the Kerberos Working Group. and will serve as the basis for further development of an LDAP schema. Document Quality As an information model, this document does not specify anything that can be directly implemented. Rather, it forms the basis for further work, such as the production of an LDAP schema which can be used to support administration of a Kerberos KDC. Producing such a schema is a chartered work item of the Kerberos Working Group. In addition, while this document is not necessarily intended to serve as a basis for KDC database design, it has been informed by the design of several implementations, including some which are able to use LDAP as a data store for the KDC database. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Jeffrey Hutzelman. The responsible Area Director is Stephen Farrell. RFC Editor Notes 1. in the abstract, expand the acronym KDC OLD: a kerberos 5 KDC NEW: a kerberos 5 Key Distribution Center (KDC) 2. Use upper case "K" for Kerberos consistently throughout when the term Kerberos is used. The only exceptions I see are in draft file names. OLD: kerberos NEW: Kerberos 3. Introduction, 1st paragraph, Don't refer to 4120 as a "standard" OLD: The Kerberos version 5 authentication service described in [RFC4120] describes how a Key Distribution Center (KDC) provides authentication to clients. The standard does not stipulate how a KDC is managed and NEW: The Kerberos version 5 authentication service described in [RFC4120] describes how a Key Distribution Center (KDC) provides authentication to clients. RFC 4120 does not stipulate how a KDC is managed and 4. 4.2.2, re-word OLD: To each KeySet MUST be associated a set of 1 or more Keys. NEW: Each KeySet MUST be associated with a set of 1 or more Keys. 5. 4.3, re-word OLD: Implementations of this model MUST NOT REQUIRE keys to be represented. NEW: Implementations of this model MUST NOT force keys to be represented. That is, a schema that REQUIRED a key to be present would not meet this constraint. 6. 4.2.1.1, typo OLD: incremembed NEW: incremented 7. add a reference to 4.3.1.5 and 4.3.1.6 OLD: 4.3.1.5. keyNotUsedBefore This key MUST NOT be used before this date. The syntax of the attribute MUST be semantically equivalent with the standard ISO date format. This MUST be a single-valued attribute. 4.3.1.6. keyNotUsedAfter This key MUST NOT be used after this date. The syntax of the attribute MUST be semantically equivalent with the standard ISO date format. This MUST be a single-valued attribute. NEW: 4.3.1.5. keyNotUsedBefore This key MUST NOT be used before this date. The syntax of the attribute MUST be semantically equivalent with the standard ISO date format. [RFC3339] This MUST be a single-valued attribute. 4.3.1.6. keyNotUsedAfter This key MUST NOT be used after this date. The syntax of the attribute MUST be semantically equivalent with the standard ISO date format. [RFC3339] This MUST be a single-valued attribute. 8. Add RFC 3339 as a normative reference to 9.1 NEW: [RFC3339] Klyne, G., Ed. and C. Newman, "Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps", RFC 3339, July 2002.
