1.6 Applicability Statement

  • Article

The Remote Certificate Mapping Protocol is applicable in deployments where users have been issued X.509 certificates, as specified in [X509], and a common database for user and machine authorization information. In this type of environment, the Remote Certificate Mapping Protocol is used between the authentication step and authorization step. It enables the server that uses an authentication protocol using X.509 certificates to obtain a PAC, as specified in [MS-PAC], that represents the user's identity and group memberships, suitable for making authorization decisions.
