1.7 Versioning and Capability Negotiation

  • Article

This document covers versioning issues in the following areas:

Protocol Versions: The .NET NegotiateStream Protocol supports versioning and is currently at version 1.0. The versioning capability is outlined in section 2.2.1. Version 1.0 is the only defined version of the .NET NegotiateStream Protocol. Therefore, no version negotiation semantics are described in this specification.

Security and Authentication Methods: The .NET NegotiateStream Protocol supports the use of the SPNEGO and NTLM security protocols. The use of these security protocols is discussed in sections 2.2, 3.1.4, and 3.2.5.

Capability Negotiation: This protocol performs explicit negotiation of a security method for providing authentication, data integrity, and data confidentiality as specified in sections 2.2, 3.1.4, and 3.2.5.
