TLS User Mapping Extension
RFC 4681, “TLS User Mapping Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2006 by S. Santesson, A. Medvinsky, J. Ball. It updates RFC 4346. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a TLS extension that enables clients to send generic user mapping hints in a supplemental data handshake message defined in RFC 4680. One such mapping hint is defined in an informative section, the UpnDomainHint, which may be used by a server to locate a user in a directory database. Other mapping hints may be defined in other documents in the future. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
