Re: Extending RADIUS Attribute Space

[Richard Perlman <perl@lucent.com>]

Randy:

There is always a possibility that the "need" may be for more than the "two
critical target applications."  I can appreciate the desire to not open this
WG up to a de-facto re-write of RADIUS.  But, we should be sure that we
don't simply and arbitrarily exclude some generally needed work simply
because it is not one of the "two critical target applications."

Or, to put it differently, maybe there are "three critical target
applications."
