Can someone please explain to me how NETCONF/TLS could be used in

Before answer your question, I will appreciate if you could kindly
tell me how HTTP/TLS, "LDAP protocol over TLS/SSL", FTP/TLS and other
protocols do that?
Best regards,
HTTP/TLS uses HTTP AUTH to accomplish this task. I don't know much
about LDAP, but I suspect there's a SASL or SASL-like transaction
somewhere in there. FTP uses the same username/password approaches that
existed before TLS. My point: there is no such underlying mechanism in
NETCONF.
