Name Attributes for the GSS-API
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Mechanism
Abstract
The naming extensions to the Generic Security Service Application
Programming Interface (GSS-API) provide a mechanism for applications
to discover authorization and personalization information associated
with GSS-API names. The Extensible Authentication Protocol GSS-API
mechanism allows an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
(AAA) peer to provide authorization attributes alongside an
authentication response. It also supplies mechanisms to process
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) messages provided in the
AAA response. This document describes how to use the Naming
Extensions API to access that information.

RFC 7056 GSS EAP Name Attributes December 2013
1. Introduction
The naming extensions [RFC6680] to the Generic Security Service
Application Programming Interface (GSS-API) [RFC2743] provide a
mechanism for applications to discover authorization and
personalization information associated with GSS-API names. The
Extensible Authentication Protocol GSS-API mechanism [RFC7055] allows
an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) peer to
provide authorization attributes alongside an authentication
response. It also supplies mechanisms to process Security Assertion
Markup Language (SAML) messages provided in the AAA response. Other
mechanisms such as SAML Enhanced Client (EC) [SASL-SAML] also support
SAML assertions and attributes carried in the GSS-API. This document
describes how to use the Naming Extensions API to access that
information.
The semantics of setting attributes defined in this specification are
undefined and left to future work.
