Requirements for NFSv4 Multi-Domain Namespace Deployment

Overview

RFC 8000, “Requirements for NFSv4 Multi-Domain Namespace Deployment”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2016 by A. Adamson, N. Williams. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document presents requirements for the deployment of the NFSv4 protocols for the construction of an NFSv4 file namespace in environments with multiple NFSv4 Domains. To participate in an NFSv4 multi-domain file namespace, the server must offer a multi-domain-capable file system and support RPCSEC_GSS for user authentication. In most instances, the server must also support identity-mapping services.
