Subject: GSS-API misalignment
There's a small misalignment between draft-ietf-cat-genericsec-02 and draft-ietf-cat-secservice-01. The latter (bindings) spec's definition for GSS_Acquire_cred() includes an actual_mechs output parameter, indicating the set of mechanisms for which the received credentials may be used, but the former (high-level) spec includes no such return value, implicitly making it necessary to call GSS_Inquire_cred() to determine this information. I think that it's a good idea for GSS_Acquire_cred() to return the mechanism set data directly, and propose to treat its omission from the high-level spec as an erratum to be fixed when the spec is next updated, but not to issue a new Internet-Draft at this time in order to rectify this single point. Does anyone object to this proposal? --jl
