Scott,

Overall, I think that the modifications move the I-D in a good direction.  
Thanks for your work on this.

I don’t have running code so this is more of a document review, rather than 
comments from an implementer perspective.

Pls see the below.

3.1.2:

NIT:  3.1.2 #2 uses the term ‘ “login” request’; while 4.1 uses term ‘ “login” 
query’ (line 1).

3.1.2:

EDITORIAL:  3.1.2 #2 (in sentence 2) includes a MUST condition (“MUST include 
an “id” query parameter)  for a server with only a remote Authorization Server. 
 However,  in 4.1, the MUST condition is more involved (has two options of 
delivery, not just the one mechanism described n 3.1.2) and is described as an 
“End-User identifier”.  Perhaps the text in sentence 2 of 3.1.2 can be aligned 
more closely to the text in 4.1 OR just reference 4.1 directly.

3.1.2.1:

EDITORIAL:  “, but that protocol is not widely implemented and can be 
unreliable.”  The text is not clear if the reliability issues are due to the 
lack of wide implementation or due to inherent reliability issues.  Suggest 
that “is not widely implemented” is sufficient for this use-case and the text 
“and can be unreliable” be struck.

6.  RDAP Conformance

EDITORIAL:  Last sentence of 4.1 para 1 says: “Clients can use either of these 
methods. Servers MUST support both methods.”  (Referring to local and remote 
client authentication.). However, Section 6, para 1, says “Both values MAY be 
present if a server supports both local and remote OpenID Authorization 
Servers.”   Thus, Section 6 implies that it’s possible that a server might not 
support both local and remote authentication.  Perhaps the solution would be to 
switch from “MAY” to “would” in section 6?

Happy to discuss any of the above.

Thanks,
Rick

> Abstract:
> The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) provides "RESTful" web
> services to retrieve registration metadata from domain name and
> regional internet registries. RDAP allows a server to make access
> control decisions based on client identity, and as such it includes
> support for client identification features provided by the Hypertext
> Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Identification methods that require
> clients to obtain and manage credentials from every RDAP server
> operator present management challenges for both clients and servers,
> whereas a federated authentication system would make it easier to
> operate and use RDAP without the need to maintain server-specific
> client credentials. This document describes a federated
> authentication system for RDAP based on OpenID Connect.

[SAH] Please review this, folks. It's been significantly modified since version 
-09, replacing the token management queries with simpler login, logout, and 
session queries. This puts the draft in a much better position with respect to 
RDAP behaving like a web service, and it simplifies client processing, too.

Scott
