Abstract
This document describes a way to perform client authentication in the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) framework by referring to the client authentication provided by an external security layer. We specify a SASL mechanism family EXTERNAL-* and one instance EXTERNAL-TLS that rely on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This mechanism differs to the existing EXTERNAL mechanism by alleviating the a priori assumptions that servers and clients needs somehow negotiate out of band which secure channel that is intended. This document also discuss the implementation of authorization decisions. See <http://josefsson.org/external-channel/> for more information.
