RFC 5588: Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) Extension for Storing Delegated Credentials

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines a new function for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), which allows applications to store delegated (and other) credentials in the implicit GSS-API credential store. This is needed for GSS-API applications to use delegated credentials as they would use other credentials. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
