TCP Client Identity Protocol (ident) ------------------------------------ Charter Last Modified: 03/15/1993 Current Status: Concluded Working Group Chair(s): Mike St. Johns Security Area Director(s): Jeffrey Schiller Steve Bellovin Security Area Advisor: Jeffrey Schiller Mailing Lists: General Discussion:ident@nri.reston.va.us To Subscribe: ident-request@nri.reston.va.us Archive: cnri.reston.va.us:~/ietf.mailing.lists/ident/* Description of Working Group: The TCP Client Identity Protocol Working Group is chartered to define a protocol for returning the identity of the user initiating a TCP connection. When a client on host A initiates a TCP connection to host B, host B may query a server on host A to determine the identity of the client on host A. The primary purpose of this protocol is to record the identity of requesters initiating a connection. This work is a clarification and standardization of the Experimental Protocol currently published as RFC 931. Goals and Milestones: Done Post an Internet-Draft of the revised RFC 931 Identity Server Protocol. Done Submit the Identity Server Protocol to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Done Review implementations, and resolve outstanding issues in preparation for Draft Standard. Internet-Drafts: No Current Internet-Drafts.
