Hi. One of the comments from the secdir review is that we have no way to escape a slash or @ inside an ABFAB name. For reference, Kerberos does have such a mechanism.
I think we at least discussed this in a meeting. It's much easier to add an escaping mechanism now if we're going to need it. I can't think of a reason you'd need such an escaping mechanism in practice except: 1) To represent Kerberos enterprise names in ABFAB. I cannot think of why you'd need to do that. 2) To represent pathalogical hostnames or Kerberos names in ABFAB. I cannot think of why you'd need to do that. I think that when this was discussed in a meeting people expressed a preference for simplicity over escaping. Personally I'm a bit nervous that we may regret this decision no matter which way we decide. --Sam _______________________________________________ abfab mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/abfab
