Request for publication of Internet Draft draft-ietf-radext-rfc3576bis-08.txt



On behalf of the RADEXT WG, I am requesting the publication of the

Internet Draft described herein as an Informational RFC.  WGLC on

This document concluded on June 27, 2007. All issues have been

addressed.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Title:

Common Dynamic Authorization Extensions to Remote Authentication Dial

In User Service (RADIUS) I-D:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-radext-rfc3576bis-08.txt

Status: Informational

 

(1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Has the Document

Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in

particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding

to the IESG for publication?

 

The Document Shepherd is David Nelson. I have personally reviewed the

document.

 

(1.b) Has the document had adequate review from both key WG members

And key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns

about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed?

 

Yes. This document has been through two RADEXT WG last calls.

 

(1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs

more review from a particular or broader perspective e.g., security,

operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization

or XML?

 

This document is a revision of RFC 3576, so there is existing

operational experience.

 

(1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues

with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG

should be aware of?  For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable

with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there

really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those

issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document,

detail those concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this

document been filed? If so, please include a reference to the disclosure

and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on this issue.

 

No concerns.

 

(1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document?  Does it

represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others

being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with

it?

 

There is consensus behind this document.  At various points,

6 people have posted review comments or made contributions relating

to the document.

 

The issues raised and the resolutions are available for inspection at

http://www.drizzle.com/~aboba/RADEXT/

 

(1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme

discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate

email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a

separate email because this questionnaire is entered into the ID

Tracker.)

 

No.

 

(1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document

satisfies all ID nits? (See http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and

http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are not

enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all

formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media

type and URI type reviews?

 

Yes. An output of the run on this revision of the ID by the online

nits checker:

  ** Obsolete normative reference: RFC 2409 (Obsoleted by RFC 4306)

 

 

     Summary: 1 error (**), 8 warnings (==), 1 comment (--).

 

(1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and

informative? Are there normative references to documents that are not

ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such

normative references exist, what is the strategy for their completion?

Are there normative references that are downward references, as

described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to

support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them

[RFC3967].

 

The document splits normative and informative references.

There are no normative references to IDs.

 

(1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA

consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the

document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are

reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA

registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry,

does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an

allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a

reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC2434]. If the document

describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the

Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed

Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

 

The document only requests assignment of additional values of

existing attributes, since most parameters were already allocated in

RFC 3575 and 3576.

 

(1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document

that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB

definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker?

 

This document does not contain sections written in a formal language.

 

(1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement

Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up? Recent

examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved

documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections:

 

  - Technical Summary

 

This document describes a currently deployed extension to the Remote

Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol, allowing

dynamic changes to a user session, as implemented by network access

server products.  This includes support for disconnecting users and

changing authorizations applicable to a user session.

 

  - Working Group Summary

 

This document represents an update to RFC 3576, addressing issues and

fixes that have been identified since the document was originally

published. Originally, these issues were included in the RADIUS Issues

and Fixes document, but were sufficient in number and size to require

a revision to RFC 3576.

 

  - Document Quality

 

This document describes issues that were encountered by implementers of

RFC 3576. As a result, it has been reviewed by implementers as well as

operators.

 

  - Personnel

 

David Nelson is the document shepherd.  The responsible Area Director is

Dan Romascanu.
