Summary:
Matt Rogers is the Document Shepherd. Eric Rescorla is the Responsible Area
Director.
This document is a Proposed Standard to update RFC 5653 (Generic Security
Service API Version 2 : Java Bindings Update). This document addresses a flaw
in RFC 5653 by extending the GSSException class with an error token, as well as
removing the specification of stream-based GSSContext methods.
Review and Consensus:
There is consensus among the WG for this document, and it saw active discussion
and review by WG members. As a ‘bis’ document, all errata have been considered.
Concerns about the design of the stream-based GSSContext methods were brought
up and addressed during the WG Last Call process and there was agreement on
their removal from the document.
Intellectual Property:
There are no intellectual property disclosures against this document, and all
authors have confirmed compliance with BCPs 78 and 79.
Note:
The idnits check mentions an obsoleted normative reference to RFC 2853, which
is the predecessor to RFC 5653. The references are used only during explanation
of the differences since RFC 2853.
