Re: [dhcwg] [New I-D] DHCP User-based Authentication

[Yoshihiro Ohba <yohba at tari.toshiba.com>]

A fundamental question.

Is this WG chartered for developing a solution for network access
authentication and authorization other than developing authentication
mechanisms for DHCP?

I am asking this because Introduction of
draft-zhao-dhc-user-authentication-00.txt says:

"
   An authentication mechanism for DHCPv4 protocol messages was
   developed in [RFC3118].This allows DHCP clients and servers to
   authenticate each other.  Our purpose differs in that we want to
   authenticate and authorize a user before he accesses a provider
   network, to apply policy to customize this access connection to
   account for the service.
"

Best regards,
Yoshihiro Ohba
