The syntax of the numericCountry choice should be changed to this: > "numericCountry INTEGER ( SIZE (0..999)," As somebody else pointed out SIZE constraints can't be applied to INTEGER. It needs to be "numericCountry INTEGER (0..999)". > 3. > The matching rule is defined to be: > "This rule returns a TRUE if and only if the DeviceOwner value exactly > matches the presented value.

But now that you ask I think something like caseIgnoreMatch "The rule returns TRUE if the strings are the same length and corresponding characters are identical except possibly with regard to case" is probably more appropriate. > 4. > The ID indicates that no IANA considerations are required since the > identifiers are already registered. > It would be preferable if the attribute type and matching rule definitions > were registered with the IANA LDAP descriptors registry. After some discussions with Kurt Zeilenga, I think we're not going to register the attributes. I originally thought we could just say something like the attribute could be used here, there, and everywhere an attribute can be used. I was unaware of the hoops to jump through to claim that it could be used in LDAP. I think it could be used in an LDAP directory but we're going to target these attributes for public key and attribute certificates. If we end up needing to include these in a directory, then we'll update this spec to add the required text to put them in a directory (schema, transfer syntax, etc.). I'll modify the intro to say this: This document specifies the Device Owner attribute. This attribute may be included in locations or protocols that support ASN.1 attribute definitions to indicate the country or group that owns the device. NOTE: This document does not provide LDAP equivalent schema specification as this attribute is targeted at public key certificates [RFC5280] and attribute certificates [RFC3281bis]. This is left to a future specification. > Regards, > Andrew Sciberras > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: ietf-announce-bounces@ietf.org > [mailto:ietf-announce-bounces@ietf.org] On >> Behalf Of The IESG >> Sent: Friday, 31 July 2009 9:52 PM >> To: IETF-Announce >> Subject: Last Call: draft-turner-deviceowner-attribute (Device > OwnerAttribute) to >> Informational RFC >> >> The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider >> the following document: >> >> - 'Device Owner Attribute ' >> <draft-turner-deviceowner-attribute-01.txt> as an Informational RFC >> >> The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits >> final comments on this action.
