A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : User-level Authentication Mechanisms for IPsec Author(s) : S. Kelly, J. Knowles, B. Aboba Filename : draft-kelly-ipsra-userauth-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 18-Oct-99 IPsec, when used with IKE [RFC2409], provides for authentication of endpoints from the device level to the user level. However, there has been movement within the IPsec development community to provide additional support for legacy user-level authentication mechanisms such as those supported by RADIUS [RFC2138]. At least 2 approaches to this problem have been proposed thus far, both using the same basic underlying framework, but that underlying framework relies upon extending IKE in ways that may not be prudent. This document proposes an alternative approach which provides much of the same functionality without requiring any modification to the existing IPsec framework.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-kelly-ipsra-userauth-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
