Hello!
When reading Kerberos Specification (Draft4.1 for RFC), I have a problem
to understand Section 5.2(p20): the ASN.1 definination for HostAddress,
in the document, it is:
HostAddress ::= SEQUENCE{
addr-type[0]
address[1]
}
Should it be
HostAddress ::= SEQUENCE{
addr-type[0] INTEGER
address[1] OCTET STRING
}
instead?
The definition for HostAddresses uses that.
I am new to ASN.1, may be I have missed something?
Regards,
Weijun Wang (weijun@itivax.bitnet)
Your correction should be:
HostAddress ::= SEQUENCE {
addr-type[0] INTEGER,
address[1] OCTET STRING
}
and is what is present in the file KRB5-asn.py - the ASN.1 description file
compiled by ISODE.
