The Kerberos V5 Simple Authentication and Security Layer Mechanism
RFC 4752, “The Kerberos V5 Simple Authentication and Security Layer Mechanism”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2006 by A. Melnikov. It obsoletes RFC 2222. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a framework for adding authentication support to connection-based protocols. This document describes the method for using the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) Kerberos V5 in the SASL.
This document replaces Section 7.2 of RFC 2222, the definition of the "GSSAPI" SASL mechanism. This document, together with RFC 4422, obsoletes RFC 2222. [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.
