Section 3.2 of draft-wierenga-ietf-eduroam describes the issues presented
by EAP's spartan support for error condition handling. Although these are
described in the context of a particular roaming operator's experiences, I
believe this is also likely to be true for other non-trivial deployments.
To its credit this document (draft-ietf-emu-eap-tunnel-method) does
address error handling more comprehensively than previous EAP methods, but
I am not confident that it will yield error handling outcomes that could
be understood and corrected by an end user. For example, from my
understanding of the document, the most common failure modes (e.g.,
incorrect password; account locked; backend database offline, etc) will
all yield an "Inner_Method_Error". The other error messages are equally
vague ("General_PKI_Error") or cryptic from an end user's perspective.
Is this something that could be discussed in Berlin next week?

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the

Abstract
This document defines the Tunnel Extensible Authentication Protocol
(TEAP) version 1. TEAP is a tunnel based EAP method that enables
secure communication between a peer and a server by using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to establish a mutually
authenticated tunnel. Within the tunnel, Type-Length-Value (TLV)
objects are used to convey authentication related data between the
EAP peer and the EAP server.
