A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7628 Title: A Set of Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Mechanisms for OAuth Author: W. Mills, T. Showalter, H. Tschofenig Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: August 2015 Mailbox: wmills_92105@yahoo.com, tjs@psaux.com, Hannes.Tschofenig@gmx.net Pages: 21 Characters: 46408 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-oauth-23.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7628 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7628 OAuth enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to a protected resource, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. This document defines how an application client uses credentials obtained via OAuth over the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) to access a protected resource at a resource server. Thereby, it enables schemes defined within the OAuth framework for non-HTTP-based application protocols. Clients typically store the user's long-term credential. This does, however, lead to significant security vulnerabilities, for example, when such a credential leaks. A significant benefit of OAuth for usage in those clients is that the password is replaced by a shared secret with higher entropy, i.e., the token. Tokens typically provide limited access rights and can be managed and revoked separately from the user's long-term password. This document is a product of the Common Authentication Technology Next Generation Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
