Remote Authentication Dial In User Service Protocol Extensions
RFC 6929, “Remote Authentication Dial In User Service Protocol Extensions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2013 by A. DeKok, A. Lior. It updates RFC 2865, RFC 3575, RFC 6158. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is nearing exhaustion of its current 8-bit Attribute Type space. In addition, experience shows a growing need for complex grouping, along with attributes that can carry more than 253 octets of data. This document defines changes to RADIUS that address all of the above problems.
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.
