Dynamic Authorization Proxying in the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service Protocol

Overview

RFC 8559, “Dynamic Authorization Proxying in the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2019 by A. DeKok, J. Korhonen. It updates RFC 5176, RFC 5580. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

RFC 5176 defines Change-of-Authorization (CoA) and Disconnect Message (DM) behavior for RADIUS. RFC 5176 also suggests that proxying these messages is possible, but it does not provide guidance as to how that is done. This specification updates RFC 5176 to correct that omission for scenarios where networks use realm-based proxying as defined in RFC 7542. This specification also updates RFC 5580 to allow the Operator-Name attribute in CoA-Request and Disconnect-Request packets.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

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.
