     Location-to-URL Mapping Architecture and Framework
     
     draft-ietf-ecrit-mapping-arch-03.txt
     Date: 29/09/2007
     Authors: Henning Schulzrinne
     Working Group: Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technologies (ecrit)
     Formats: txt
    This document describes an architecture for a global, scalable, resilient and administratively distributed system for mapping geographic location information to URLs, using the Location-to- Service (LoST) protocol. The architecture generalizes well-known approaches found in hierarchical lookup systems such as DNS.

     Transport Layer Security (TLS) Authorization Extensions
     
     draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt
     Date: 10/09/2007
     Authors: Mark Brown, Russ Housley
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    This document specifies authorization extensions to the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Handshake Protocol. Extensions carried in the client and server hello messages to confirm that both parties support the desired authorization data types. Then, if supported by both the client and the server, authorization information is exchanged in the supplemental data handshake message.

     LDAP Administrators Address Attribute
     
     draft-wahl-ldap-adminaddr-05.txt
     Date: 06/09/2007
     Authors: Mark Wahl
     Working Group: Individual Submissions (none)
     Formats: txt
    Organizations with multiple or outsourced directory servers need the ability for administrators to determine who is responsible for a particular directory server. This document defines an attribute with contact information for a directory server's responsible party, conceptually similar to the 'sysContact' object of SNMP, which can be retrieved from the directory server using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
     The syslog Protocol
     
     draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-23.txt
     Date: 06/09/2007
     Authors: Rainer Gerhards
     Working Group: Security Issues in Network Event Logging (syslog)
     Formats: txt
    This document describes the syslog protocol, which is used to convey event notification messages. This protocol utilizes a layered architecture, which allows the use of any number of transport protocols for transmission of syslog messages. It also provides a message format that allows vendor-specific extensions to be provided in a structured way. This document has been written with the original design goals for traditional syslog in mind. The reason for a new layered specification has arisen because standardization efforts for reliable and secure syslog extensions suffer from the lack of a standards- track and transport independent RFC. Without this document, each other standard needs to define its own syslog packet format and transport mechanism, which over time will introduce subtle compatibility issues. This document tries to provide a foundation that syslog extensions can build on. This layered architecture approach also provides a solid basis that allows code to be written once for each syslog feature rather than once for each transport. This document obsoletes RFC3164.

     Transmission of syslog messages over UDP
     
     draft-ietf-syslog-transport-udp-12.txt
     Date: 05/09/2007
     Authors: Anton Okmianski
     Working Group: Security Issues in Network Event Logging (syslog)
     Formats: txt
    This document describes the transport for syslog messages over UDP/ IPv4 or UDP/IPv6. The syslog protocol layered architecture provides for support of any number of transport mappings. However, for interoperability purposes, syslog protocol implementers are required to support this transport mapping.
