Proposed Agenda for the Database Working Group Meeting

RIPE-42, Apr. 29 - May 3, 2002, Amsterdam, NL 1. Draft

Thursday, May 2nd, 2002 09:00-12:30 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A. Administrative stuff (WW, chair) . scribe (offer from Nigel received) . circulate list of participants . agenda bashing . status of minutes

B. Action Items . status of actions

C. DB update (RIPE NCC, Andrei R.) 15..20 min . operations report . development activities

D. Complex authentication scenarios (Alex G. SWITCH) 20 min . irt: object, how to "package" signatures? . other open issues?

Apparently, there is a bug that prevents nested multipart/signed MIME bodies to be parsed correctly. The DB people are working on it. (The workaround [or, rather, alternative] is to use text/plain with clear signatures; thanks to Engin Gunduz for pointing this out). I don't think this issue is worth a 20 min slot. Maybe a short update on the state of the affair by someone of the DB group, if anything at all (there's not much point in discussing a bug). The only input I have is to make the documentation on this a bit clearer :-) Cheers, Alex

E. Discussion on "hiding" credentials (RIPE NCC, N.N.) 20 min . "shadow password" concept . interaction with maintainers . interaction with shadowing

Y. Input from other WGs .

Z. AOB: .
