Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Extension for Storing Delegated Credentials
RFC 5588, “Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Extension for Storing Delegated Credentials”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2009 by N. Williams. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a new function for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), which allows applications to store delegated (and other) credentials in the implicit GSS-API credential store. This is needed for GSS-API applications to use delegated credentials as they would use other credentials. [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.
