Other deprecation from rfc8907? #21

Closed haussli closed 3 years ago

haussli commented 3 years ago

We decided that we need to review rfc8907 for other deprecation opportunities.

dcmgashcisco commented 3 years ago

Some proposed options to consider for deprecation

TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SENDAUTH

Authen service:

  TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_PPP := 0x03

  TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_PT := 0x05

  TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_X25 := 0x07

  TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_NASI := 0x08

  TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_FWPROXY := 0x09

Status

TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_STATUS_FOLLOW := 0x21

TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_STATUS_FOLLOW was deprecated in rfc8907, right?

haussli commented 3 years ago

I wonder if there is any value to deprecating those authen_service enumerations. I do not know what NASI or PT are, but the others are potentially used - x.25 in military, for example? I believe that Ketchetan Telecom uses PPP for some subscribers.

I skimmed 8907 for other things to deprecate, but found nothing.

I researched MSCHAPv2 a little, PR #20 . I am not sure if it is still in use. It seems that it is possibly used for an MS VPN client auth, but I do not know if that is current information or dating back to Win98. For reduced personal pain, I stopped looking for details.

MSCHAPv2 is still used in AD integration, I'd recommend not to deprecate it at this point.

True, but these are all for network access, which has been largely disowned even in the T+ RFC. It depends how seriously we want to deprecate the network access use of T+. It is probably not a use case that OPSAWG would represent...

First batch of deprecations added (MS-CHAPv1 and sendauth)
