Remote Account Maintenance Protocol (ramp) ------------------------------------------ Charter Last Modified: 06/01/1994 Current Status: Concluded Working Group Chair(s): Jeff Payne Service Applications Area Director(s): Dave Crocker Service Applications Area Advisor: Dave Crocker Mailing Lists: General Discussion: To Subscribe: Archive: Description of Working Group: Draft 3/16/94 mw From the team that developed the Internet-in-a-box, there is interest in pursuing IETF work in the realm of ``ato-registration''. This BOF will be held to discuss IETF interest in such an activity and how it should proceed. The description of the work being submitted: Before a client system and server can interact, they must be configured to know about each other. The Remote Account Maintenance Protocol (RAMP) was designed to ease the process of account creation and machine registration on server systems. RAMP clients create their own accounts by populating pre-configured templates on RAMP servers. This frees Server Administrators from some mundane tasks, while providing users instant access to certain server resources. Goals and Milestones: Internet-Drafts: No Current Internet-Drafts. Request For Comments: None to date.
