general comment on <draft-ietf-ldapext-authmeth-02.txt>

[Helmut.Baumgaertner@mch.sni.de (Helmut Baumgaertner)]

What is the relationship between the openGroup profiles (read-only ldap
server, read-write
ldap server ....) and draft-ietf-ldapext-authmeth.
In the latter I would expect to find an INFORMATIONAL description of
authentication and authorization concepts and certainly a detailed specification
of the protocol to be sent for the different Authentication Methods.
However, the right place for a list of features to be supported by
ldap servers deployed in
different scenarios seems to be the profiles, rather than an ldapext
rfc.
In fact the authentication methods, SASL mechanisms and algorithms
to be supported are listed
in the OpenGroup ldap server profiles.
