1. Conventions used in this document
|
|
|
|
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
|
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
|
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Introduction
|
|
|
|
There is a need for generic and mechanism-specific extensions to the
|
|
Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-
|
|
API). As such extensions are designed and standardized, both at the
|
|
IETF and elsewhere, there is a non-trivial risk of namespace
|
|
pollution and conflicts. To avoid this we set out guidelines for
|
|
extending the GSS-API and create IANA registries of GSS-API
|
|
namespaces.
|
|
|
|
The registration of name prefixes and constant value ranges is
|
|
allowed so as to save the IANA the trouble of registering every GSS-
|
|
API name and constant, and to allow for reservation of portions of
|
|
some GSS namespaces for private extensions or extensions which lack
|
|
IETF Standards-Track extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Extensions to the GSS-API
|
|
|
|
Extensions to the GSS-API can be categorized as follows:
|
|
o Generic
|
|
o Implementation-specific
|
|
o Mechanism-specific
|
|
o Language binding-specific
|
|
o Any combination of two or all three of the last three
|
|
|
|
Extensions to the GSS-API may be purely semantic, without effect on
|
|
the GSS-API's namespaces. Or they may introduce new functions,
|
|
constants, types, etc...; these clearly affect the GSS-API
|
|
namespaces.
|
|
|
|
Extensions that affect the GSS-API namespaces should be registered
|
|
with the IANA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Generic GSS-API Namespaces
|
|
|
|
All the function, constant and type names, as well as all the
|
|
constant values specified in the base GSS-API specification for the
|
|
basic generic GSS-API namespace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Internet-Draft GSS IANA Instructions October 2005
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generic GSS-API namespaces are:
|
|
o Type names
|
|
o Function names
|
|
o Constant names for each type
|
|
o Constant values for each type
|
|
o Mechanism OIDs
|
|
o Name Type OIDs
|
|
o Mechanism Attribute OIDs (see [EXTENDED-INQUIRY])
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Language Binding-Specific GSS-API Namespaces
|
|
|
|
<Add text; discuss header, module, library, class, method namespaces
|
|
and whatever else comes up that is language-specific and appropriate
|
|
for registration with the IANA.>
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Extension-Specific GSS-API Namespaces
|
|
|
|
Extensions to the GSS-API may create additional namespaces.
|
|
Instructions to the IANA should included for the handling of such
|
|
namespaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Registration Form(s)
|
|
|
|
Registrations for GSS-API namespaces SHALL take the following form:
|
|
|
|
<TBD>
|
|
|
|
The IANA should create a single GSS-API namespace registry, or
|
|
multiple registries, one for symbolic names and one for constant
|
|
values, or it may create a registry per-programming language, at its
|
|
convenience.
|
|
|
|
Entries in these registries should consist of all the fields from
|
|
their corresponding registration entries.
|
|
|
|
Entries SHOULD be sorted by object type, proggamming language, symbol
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
<Add text on guidelines for IANA consideration of registration
|
|
applications, particularly with respect to entries lacking normative
|
|
references, "magic" entries (e.g., special values of 'time' types
|
|
which indicate something other than absolute or relative time, such
|
|
as GSS_C_INDEFINITE), expert review requirements (if any) for
|
|
registrations lacking normative references, etc....>

8. Initial Namespace Registrations
|
|
|
|
<Add registration entries for namespaces (name prefixes) for RFC2743/
|
|
RFC2744/RFC2853.>
|
|
|
|
<Add registration entries for private namespaces (name prefixes) for
|
|
implementation- and/or platform-specific extensions.>

|
