SAML Enhanced Client SASL and GSS-API Mechanisms
draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-saml-ec-16.txt
Abstract
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 is a generalized
framework for the exchange of security-related information between
asserting and relying parties. Simple Authentication and Security
Layer (SASL) and the Generic Security Service Application Program
Interface (GSS-API) are application frameworks to facilitate an
extensible authentication model. This document specifies a SASL and
GSS-API mechanism for SAML 2.0 that leverages the capabilities of a
SAML-aware "enhanced client" to address significant barriers to
federated authentication in a manner that encourages reuse of
existing SAML bindings and profiles designed for non-browser
scenarios.
