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.
