The co-chairs have agreed that "implicit mapping" should be explained better
and that after that we could declare the consensus. The discussion about
wild
characters seems to show that there are too many open questions to include
it here. It also is more a question of the implementation because on the
wire
it would not require different RPCs.
So we need the text for the explanation. I would like to see Derrick as
author, work with Jeff and Andrew (and anyone else with input) to come up
with
the explanation and send to the list for review.
An explicit mapping is one that can be configured, represented, and
returned by the protocol defined in this document. An implicit mapping
is site- or implementation-specific. Examples of implicit mapping would
be translation of a client authenticating as Kerberos 5 principal
u...@realm to a PTS name of user,
and of a client authenticating as Kerberos 5 principal
host/sample.host.n...@realm to a PTS name
of rcmd.sample, before an AFS ID is looked up and returned.
