Subject: What is a GSS wrapped Kerberos v5 AP-REQ?


The phrase "2005xx-wss-kerberos-token-profile-
A GSS wrapped Kerberos v5 AP-REQ as
defined in the GSSAPI specification." is used in the kerberos profile draft.

However, no reference is provided to support this term. I was not able 
to find a reference in the discussion trail either.

Is RFC 1964 meant here?

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1964.html

RFC 1964 describes a GSS_wrap method BUT I do not believe its use is 
meant here. This method is typically used to transmit data securely 
between client and server once a security context is established.

The informal sense of this phrase suggests successful completion 
gss_init_sec_context() method, followed by use of the resulting security 
context object. If this is what was intended, we need to either point to 
a definition or provide one.
