Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) N. Williams Request for Comments: 6680 Cryptonector, LLC Category: Standards Track L. Johansson ISSN: 2070-1721 SUNET S. Hartman Painless Security S. Josefsson SJD AB August 2012 Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) Naming Extensions Abstract The Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) provides a simple naming architecture that supports name- based authorization. This document introduces new APIs that extend the GSS-API naming model to support name attribute transfer between GSS-API peers. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.
