I-D ACTION:draft-siemborski-rfc1734bis-02.txt (fwd)

Hi All,

This is a draft I've been working on to consolidate all of the POP3 AUTH
related material into one document, as well as clarify some issues related
to the initial client response, and update it to deal with the Stringprep
issues being addressed in the SASL WG at the moment.

Please send comments about it to the list.

-Rob

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: POP3 SASL Authentication Mechanism
	Author(s)	: R. Siemborski
	Filename	: draft-siemborski-rfc1734bis-02.txt
	Pages		: 17
	Date		: 2003-12-5

This document defines a profile of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer (SASL) for the Post Office Protocol (POP3).	This
extension allows a POP3 client to indicate an authentication
mechanism to the server, perform an authentication protocol
exchange, and optionally negotiate a security layer for subsequent
protocol interactions during this session.

In order to consolidate all of the authentication related
information for POP3 into a single document, this document obsoletes
RFC 1734 and RFC 3206, replacing them as a Proposed Standard. It
also updates information contained in Section 6.3 and Section 8 of
RFC 2449.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
