Abstract

   This memo proposes an Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA)
   architecture that would incorporate a generic AAA server along with
   an application interface to a set of Application Specific Modules
   that could perform application specific AAA functions.  A separation
   of AAA functions required in a multi-domain environment is then
   proposed using a layered protocol abstraction.  The long term goal is
   to create a generic framework which allows complex authorizations to
   be realized through a network of interconnected AAA servers.
