RADIUS Design Guidelines
RFC 6158, “RADIUS Design Guidelines”, is a Best Current Practice document published in March 2011 by A. DeKok, G. Weber. It has since been updated by RFC 6929, RFC 8044. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides guidelines for the design of attributes used by the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol. It is expected that these guidelines will prove useful to authors and reviewers of future RADIUS attribute specifications, within the IETF as well as other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs). This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
