180   The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level
181   protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information
182   systems. HTTP has been in use by the World Wide Web global information
183   initiative since 1990. This document is Part 7 of the seven-part specification
184   that defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1" and, taken together,
185   obsoletes RFC 2616.  Part 7 defines HTTP Authentication.

203<section title="Introduction" anchor="introduction">
204<t>
205   This document defines HTTP/1.1 access control and authentication. Right now it
206   includes the extracted relevant sections of
207   <xref target="RFC2616" x:fmt="none">RFC 2616</xref> with only minor changes.
208   The intention is to move the general framework for HTTP authentication here,
209   as currently specified in <xref target="RFC2617"/>, and allow the individual
210   authentication mechanisms to be defined elsewhere.  This introduction will
211   be rewritten when that occurs.
212</t>
213<t>
214   HTTP provides several &OPTIONAL; challenge-response authentication
215   mechanisms which can be used by a server to challenge a client
216   request and by a client to provide authentication information. The
217   general framework for access authentication, and the specification of
218   "basic" and "digest" authentication, are specified in "HTTP
219   Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication" <xref target="RFC2617"/>. This
220   specification adopts the definitions of "challenge" and "credentials"
221   from that specification.

226   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
227   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
228   document are to be interpreted as described in <xref target="RFC2119"/>.
229</t>
230<t>
231   An implementation is not compliant if it fails to satisfy one or more
232   of the &MUST; or &REQUIRED; level requirements for the protocols it
233   implements. An implementation that satisfies all the &MUST; or &REQUIRED;
234   level and all the &SHOULD; level requirements for its protocols is said
235   to be "unconditionally compliant"; one that satisfies all the &MUST;
236   level requirements but not all the &SHOULD; level requirements for its
237   protocols is said to be "conditionally compliant."

265   The request requires user authentication. The response &MUST; include a
266   WWW-Authenticate header field (<xref target="header.www-authenticate"/>) containing a challenge
267   applicable to the requested resource. The client &MAY; repeat the
268   request with a suitable Authorization header field (<xref target="header.authorization"/>). If
269   the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401
270   response indicates that authorization has been refused for those
271   credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the
272   prior response, and the user agent has already attempted
273   authentication at least once, then the user &SHOULD; be presented the
274   entity that was given in the response, since that entity might
275   include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication
276   is explained in "HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access

283<t>
284   This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the
285   client must first authenticate itself with the proxy. The proxy &MUST;
286   return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (<xref target="header.proxy-authenticate"/>) containing a
287   challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. The
288   client &MAY; repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization
289   header field (<xref target="header.proxy-authorization"/>). HTTP access authentication is explained

307      A user agent that wishes to authenticate itself with a server--
308      usually, but not necessarily, after receiving a 401 response--does
309      so by including an Authorization request-header field with the
310      request.  The Authorization field value consists of credentials
311      containing the authentication information of the user agent for
312      the realm of the resource being requested.

317<t>
318      HTTP access authentication is described in "HTTP Authentication:
319      Basic and Digest Access Authentication" <xref target="RFC2617"/>. If a request is
320      authenticated and a realm specified, the same credentials &SHOULD;
321      be valid for all other requests within this realm (assuming that
322      the authentication scheme itself does not require otherwise, such
323      as credentials that vary according to a challenge value or using
324      synchronized clocks).
325</t>
326<t>
327      When a shared cache (see &shared-and-non-shared-caches;) receives a request
328      containing an Authorization field, it &MUST-NOT; return the
329      corresponding response as a reply to any other request, unless one
330      of the following specific exceptions holds:

335         directive, the cache &MAY; use that response in replying to a

337         passed) a proxy cache &MUST; first revalidate it with the origin
338         server, using the request-headers from the new request to allow
339         the origin server to authenticate the new request. (This is the
340         defined behavior for s-maxage.) If the response includes "s-maxage=0",
341         the proxy &MUST; always revalidate it before re-using
342         it.</t>

349         to authenticate the new request.</t>

362   The Proxy-Authenticate response-header field &MUST; be included as part
363   of a 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) response. The field value
364   consists of a challenge that indicates the authentication scheme and
365   parameters applicable to the proxy for this Request-URI.

371   The HTTP access authentication process is described in "HTTP
372   Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication" <xref target="RFC2617"/>. Unlike
373   WWW-Authenticate, the Proxy-Authenticate header field applies only to
374   the current connection and &SHOULD-NOT;  be passed on to downstream
375   clients. However, an intermediate proxy might need to obtain its own
376   credentials by requesting them from the downstream client, which in
377   some circumstances will appear as if the proxy is forwarding the
378   Proxy-Authenticate header field.

386<t>
387   The Proxy-Authorization request-header field allows the client to
388   identify itself (or its user) to a proxy which requires
389   authentication. The Proxy-Authorization field value consists of
390   credentials containing the authentication information of the user
391   agent for the proxy and/or realm of the resource being requested.

397   The HTTP access authentication process is described in "HTTP
398   Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication" <xref target="RFC2617"/>. Unlike
399   Authorization, the Proxy-Authorization header field applies only to
400   the next outbound proxy that demanded authentication using the Proxy-Authenticate
401   field. When multiple proxies are used in a chain, the
402   Proxy-Authorization header field is consumed by the first outbound
403   proxy that was expecting to receive credentials. A proxy &MAY; relay
404   the credentials from the client request to the next proxy if that is
405   the mechanism by which the proxies cooperatively authenticate a given
406   request.

415   The WWW-Authenticate response-header field &MUST; be included in 401

417   least one challenge that indicates the authentication scheme(s) and
418   parameters applicable to the Request-URI.

481<section title="Security Considerations" anchor="security.considerations">
482<t>
483   This section is meant to inform application developers, information
484   providers, and users of the security limitations in HTTP/1.1 as
485   described by this document. The discussion does not include
486   definitive solutions to the problems revealed, though it does make
487   some suggestions for reducing security risks.
488</t>
489
490<section title="Authentication Credentials and Idle Clients" anchor="auth.credentials.and.idle.clients">
491<t>
492   Existing HTTP clients and user agents typically retain authentication
493   information indefinitely. HTTP/1.1 does not provide a method for a
494   server to direct clients to discard these cached credentials. This is
495   a significant defect that requires further extensions to HTTP.
496   Circumstances under which credential caching can interfere with the
497   application's security model include but are not limited to:
498  <list style="symbols">
499     <t>Clients which have been idle for an extended period following
500        which the server might wish to cause the client to reprompt the
501        user for credentials.</t>
502
503     <t>Applications which include a session termination indication
504        (such as a `logout' or `commit' button on a page) after which
505        the server side of the application `knows' that there is no
506        further reason for the client to retain the credentials.</t>
507  </list>
508</t>
509<t>
510   This is currently under separate study. There are a number of work-arounds
511   to parts of this problem, and we encourage the use of
512   password protection in screen savers, idle time-outs, and other
513   methods which mitigate the security problems inherent in this
514   problem. In particular, user agents which cache credentials are
515   encouraged to provide a readily accessible mechanism for discarding
516   cached credentials under user control.
