TACACS user identification Telnet option

Overview

RFC 927, “TACACS user identification Telnet option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 1984 by B.A. Anderson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The following is the description of a TELNET option designed to facilitate double login avoidance. It is intended primarily for TAC connections to target hosts on behalf of TAC users, but it can be used between any two consenting hosts. For example, all hosts at one site (e.g., BBN) can use this option to avoid double login when TELNETing to one another. This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

What “Proposed Standard” means
