Subject: AuthenticatorLocale Definition
The current core describes AuthenticatorLocale thus: The <AuthenticationLocale> element specifies the DNS domain name and IP address for the system entity that performed the authentication. IMO this might reasonably be interpreted as the IP and DNS of the Authentication Authority, or associated server that validated the credentials. Is that what was wanted? My understanding was that we wanted the IP and DNS or the client being authenticated. Proposed wording: The <AuthenticationLocale> element specifies the DNS domain name and IP address of the host which the system entity used when it was authenticated. ----------------- I would also like to see the semantics of the DNS name specified explicitly (or the element dropped.) Proposed wording: The DNS domain name is the result of doing a reverse lookup on the IP address contained in the authentication messages at the time the Authentication took place. Note: we already have issues open on this stuff: DS-7-04 and DS-7-05. Hal
