Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI)/Kerberos/Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) Service Names

(last updated 2008-02-29)

Registry Name: GSSAPI/Kerberos/SASL Service names
Reference: [RFC2743]
Registration Procedures: Specification Required

Note:
A service is a resource provided to network clients; often provided by
more than one server and potentially by more than one protocol.
Service names are short alphanumeric textual strings.  Service names
are used in the GSSAPI [RFC2078] host-service name form, are specified
as part of a SASL profile [RFC2222] and are used by Kerberos
service-based tickets [RFC1510]. Registrations are restricted to 
alphanumeric characters and the characters '+', '-' and '.'
