Base64 encoding pattern used by EST servers #3

Closed prince-chrismc closed 3 years ago

prince-chrismc commented 4 years ago

In the current Virtual Workshop, many vendors noticed the OpenXPKI Server and Cisco Server had an interoperability issue.

There may need to be clarification for EST servers to follow one or for clients to support both. Should there be an identifier for clients to know which?

Is the Cisco implementation more technically correct? If so, should we make an issue and/or PR to OpekXPKI?

From a quick bit of research both are valid, the newline encoding scheme was created for clients that could not handle long lines. I feel like any NMOS clients should be able to handle long lines and therefore the client should be responsible for being able to detect and decode both styles independently of the NMOS spec.

In that case, I think we just need some language in the BCP for clients to support both.
