Subject: (PR) 15-day Public Review for SAML V2.0 Kerberos Web Browser SSO Profile Version 1.0


The OASIS Security Services (SAML) TC [1] members have produced an
updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this
specification for 15-day public review:

SAML V2.0 Kerberos Web Browser SSO Profile Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02
29 November 2011

Specification Overview:
The SAML V2.0 Kerberos Web Browser SSO Profile allows for transport of
assertions using the Kerberos subject confirmation method by standard
HTTP user agents with no modification of client software and maximum
compatibility with existing deployments. The flow is similar to
standard Web Browser SSO, but a Kerberos AP-REQ message is presented
by the user agent via the HTTP Negotiate authentication scheme and the
Kerberos GSS-API mechanism. The presentation of a valid Kerberos
AP-REQ message whose client principal name matches the principal name
given in the subject confirmation strengthens the assurance of the
resulting authentication context and protects against credential
theft.

Public Review Period:
The public review starts 5 December 2011 and ends 20 December 2011.
The specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review
[2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the
previous review. Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file
included with the specification.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not,
for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its
technical work.
