The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Federated Authentication for the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) using OpenID Connect' (draft-ietf-regext-rdap-openid-27.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Registration Protocols Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-regext-rdap-openid/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary Broad agreement was reached. There have been 7 expressions of support (not counting the editors or document shepherd) and no objections. No appeal has been threatened. Document Quality Section 10 contains implementation status. IANA Considerations appear to be correct and clear. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Zaid AlBanna. The Responsible Area Director is Murray Kucherawy. _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
