Description of Working Group:

The TCP Client Identity Protocol Working Group is chartered to define
a protocol for returning the identity of the user initiating a TCP
connection.  When a client on host A initiates a TCP connection to
host B, host B may query a server on host A to determine the identity
of the client on host A.  The primary purpose of this protocol is to
record the identity of requesters initiating a connection.
 
This work is a clarification and standardization of the Experimental
Protocol currently published as RFC 931.
 


Goals and Milestones: 
 
     Done Review implementations, and resolve outstanding issues in preparation
          for Draft Standard.                                                  

     Done Post an Internet-Draft of the revised RFC 931 Identity Server 
          Protocol.                                                            

     Done Submit the Identity Server Protocol to the IESG for consideration as 
          a Proposed Standard.
