DIME WG, Please advice concerning this errata. Thanks and Regards, Dan -----Original Message----- From: RFC Errata System [mailto:rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org] Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 3:39 PM To: pasi.eronen@nokia.com; tomhiller@lucent.com; gwz@cisco.com; Romascanu, Dan (Dan); rbonica@juniper.net; Bernard_Aboba@hotmail.com; david@mitton.com; john.loughney@nokia.com Cc: gwz@net-zen.net; rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org Subject: [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC4072 (1955) The following errata report has been submitted for RFC4072, "Diameter Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Application". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4072&eid=1955 -------------------------------------- Type: Editorial Reported by: Glen Zorn <gwz@net-zen.net> Section: 4.1.4 Original Text ------------- Note that not all link layers use this name, and currently most EAP methods do not generate it. Since the NAS operates in pass-through mode, it cannot know the Key-Name before receiving it from the AAA server. As a result, a Key-Name AVP sent in a Diameter-EAP-Request MUST NOT contain any data. A home Diameter server receiving a Diameter-EAP-Request with a Key-Name AVP with non-empty data MUST silently discard the AVP. Corrected Text -------------- Note that not all link layers use this name, and currently most EAP methods do not generate it. Since the NAS operates in pass-through mode, it cannot know the name of the key before receiving it from the AAA server. As a result, an EAP-Key-Name AVP sent in a Diameter-EAP-Request MUST NOT contain any data. A home Diameter server receiving a Diameter-EAP-Request containing an EAP-Key-Name AVP with non-empty data MUST silently ignore the AVP. Notes ----- In the original text, the first occurrence of the string "Key-Name" apparently is meant to refer to the actual name of the key, rather than an AVP identifier, while the next two occurrences are obviously typos, since no Key-Name AVP is defined in the document. Also, the term "silently discard" is typically used in reference to messages; with reference to a single AVP, "silently ignore" seems more appropriate. Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC4072 (draft-ietf-aaa-eap-10) -------------------------------------- Title : Diameter Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Application Publication Date : August 2005 Author(s) : P.
