The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7804,
"Salted Challenge Response HTTP Authentication Mechanism".

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Peter Occil <poccil14@gmail.com>

Section: 2.2

Original Text
-------------
   o  Normalize(str): Apply the Preparation and Enforcement steps
      according to the OpaqueString profile (see [RFC7613]) to a UTF-8
      [RFC3629] encoded "str".  The resulting string is also in UTF-8.
      Note that implementations MUST either implement OpaqueString
      profile operations from [RFC7613] or disallow the use of non
      US-ASCII Unicode codepoints in "str".  The latter is a particular
      case of compliance with [RFC7613].


Corrected Text
--------------
   o  Normalize(str): Apply the Preparation and Enforcement steps
      according to the OpaqueString profile (see [RFC7613]) to a UTF-8
      [RFC3629] encoded "str".  The resulting string is also in UTF-8.
      Note that implementations MUST either implement OpaqueString
      profile operations from [RFC7613] or disallow the use of Unicode 
      codepoints not ranging from U+0020 to U+007E in "str".  The latter
      is a particular case of compliance with [RFC7613].


Notes
-----
Control code points (including the ASCII controls U+0000 to U+001F as well as U+007F) are disallowed in the PRECIS FreeformClass, which the OpaqueString profile uses.  Thus it's not enough to just disallow non-US-ASCII codepoints (rather than implement the full OpaqueString profile) to comply with a subset of the OpaqueString profile.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum 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
