A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : A GSS-API Authentication Mode for ISAKMP/Oakley Author(s) : D. Piper Filename : draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-gss-auth-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 26-Nov-97 This document describes an alternate authentication method for ISAKMP/Oakley which makes use of GSS-API to authenticate the Diffie- Hellman exchange. The mechanism described here extends the authentication modes defined in [Harkins97] without introducing any modifications to the ISAKMP/Oakley key exchange protocol. This constraint however, necessarily restricts the number of GSS-API exchanges and may limit the broader applicability of this method. Additional work is needed to provide a fully generalized solution. Such a solution will require ISAKMP/Oakley protocol modifications. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-gss-auth-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
