A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6717 Title: kx509 Kerberized Certificate Issuance Protocol in Use in 2012 Author: H. Hotz, R. Allbery Status: Informational Stream: Independent Date: August 2012 Mailbox: hotz@jpl.nasa.gov, rra@stanford.edu Pages: 13 Characters: 29044 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-hotz-kx509-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6717.txt This document describes a protocol, called kx509, for using Kerberos tickets to acquire X.509 certificates. These certificates may be used for many of the same purposes as X.509 certificates acquired by other means, but if a Kerberos infrastructure already exists, then the overhead of using kx509 may be much less. While not standardized, this protocol is already in use at several large organizations, and certificates issued with this protocol are recognized by the International Grid Trust Federation.
