The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Clarification and enhancement of RFC7030 CSR Attributes definition' (draft-ietf-lamps-rfc7030-csrattrs-23.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-rfc7030-csrattrs/ Technical Summary This document updates RFC 7030 to clarify the handling of Certificate Signing Request (CSR) attributes in Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST). This document describes how an EST server specifies the CSR attribute types (object identifiers) and also CSR attribute values, especially X.509 extension values, that the EST server expects the client to include in subsequent CSRs. It provides new convenient and straightforward approach: using a template for CSR contents that may be partially filled in by the server. This also allows specifying a subject Distinguished Name (DN). Working Group Summary EST has wide support. Several people have expressed support of the clarifications in this document. Great care was taken to ensure that the conventions specified in this document do not break current implementations of RFC 7030. Document Quality No special reviews are needed. The ASN.1 module in Appendix A properly compiles. There are downward normative reference to Informational RFC 5911, Informational RFC 5912, and Informational RFC 6268. All of these are already in the downref registry, so no special action is needed for them. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
