  1. Diameter SIP application IETF 64 Vancouver, 6-11 November, 2005 e-mail: miguel.an.garcia@nokia.com

  2. Status • draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-sip-app-10.txt passed the 3rd WG Last Call in October 2005. • New requirements have been coming during each previous WGLC • After the 3rd WGLC new issues were raised, mainly due to compatibility with the 3GPP Diameter application for the Cx interface. • All issues are tracked at: • http://danforsberg.info:8080/draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-sip/

  3. Issue 49: Required Authentication parameters (1) • Use case: • Nonces are generated in the Diameter client • Check for final authentication also takes place in the Diameter client. • The Diameter client sends the generated nonce to the Diameter server in MAR +--------+ +--------+ |Diameter| | SIP | | server | | server | +--------+ +--------+ | | | | 1.

  4. Issue 49: Required Authentication parameters (2) • Optimization 1: • MAA command includes a SIP-Authenticate AVP which mandates to include a nonce (Digest-Nonce AVP). • Since the nonce has been previously generated in the Diameter client, there is not need to repeat this AVP anymore. • Proposal: make Digest-Nonce AVP optional in SIP-Authenticate AVP

  5. Issue 49: Required Authentication parameters (3) • Optimization 2: • MAR command includes a SIP-Authorization AVP which mandates to include Digest-URI and Digest-Response AVPs. • The Diameter server does not really need Digest-URI or Digest-Response • Proposal: Make Digest-URI and Digest-Response AVP optional in the SIP-authorization AVP

  6. Issue 49: Required Authentication parameters (4) • Optimization 3 • SIP-Authentication-Info AVP mandates the inclusion of a Digest-Nextnonce AVP • Since nonces are generated in the Diameter client, there is no point in the Diameter server including a Digest-Nextnonce AVP • Proposal: make Digest-Nextnonce AVP in the SIP-Authentication-Info AVP

  7. Issue 50: User-Data AVP in PPR • PPR mandates to include a User-Data AVP • However, there is a use case where the User-Data AVP is not updated, but the SIP-Accounting-Information AVP instead. • Proposal: Make User-Data AVP optional, modify the explanatory text accordingly.

  8. Issue 51: Result-Code AVP • Message formats are not open to vendor extensions because all commands mandate Auth-Application-ID AVP. • Complaint: can’t use Experimental-Result/Experimental-Result-Code AVPs • But Diameter SIP application is not a vendor specific application, so commands MUST contain a Result-Code AVP • Proposal: do nothing

  9. Issue 52: Auth-Application-ID AVP • Message formats are not open to vendor extensions because all commands mandate Auth-Application-ID AVP. • Complaint: Vendor-Specific-Application-ID AVP cannot be used in a command • But Diameter SIP application is not a vendor specific application, so commands MUST contain Auth-Application-ID. • Proposal: do nothing.

  10. Issue 53: MAR processing • The user is not authenticated until the MAA command is received, but the MAR processing assumes it is. • Authentication flag is set if the SIP-Server AVP contains a different value than in the past. • The flag is cleared if the stored value matches the SIP-Server AVP • However, the user is not completely authenticated at this stage (MAR/MAA). • Proposal: the flag must be cleared when processing the SAR/SAA commands instead

  11. Issue 54: Auth-Application-ID AVP in UAR command • The syntax of the UAR command defines the Auth-Application-ID as a fixed AVP (i.e., syntax within <> brackets), but the rest of the commands list it as a mandatory AVP (i.e., syntax within {} brackets). • No specific guidance is provided in RFC 3588, but in all commands the Auth-Application-ID appears as mandatory AVP • Proposal: be consistent with other commands and change < Auth-Application-Id > with { Auth-Application-Id } in the syntax of the UAR command
