eap Mailing List: interpretation of the identity response

[Adrangi, Farid (farid.adrangi]

Hello Bernard/Jari:

 

I have a quick question regarding 2284bis-06 draft.  Currently, the draft does not specify any rules on how the EAP server should interpret an identity response (in particular where it is indicated in NAI format) to extract the identity to be authenticated.  For example, given the following NAI Eng%nancy [at] bigu.edu,  does the EAP server use the nancy [at] bigu.edu portion or the whole string as the ID for authenticating the user?  Or another NAI example, say you have ipass/nancy [at] bigu.edu (where the ipass prefix is used to indicate the RADIUS AAA server in an Access Network how to route the RADIUS packets) will the EAP server use nancy [at] bigu.edu portion or the whole string?

 

Thanks for your time.

 

BR,

Farid
