Abstract. All solutions of a tangential interpolation problem for contractive multipliers between two reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic vectorvalued functions are characterized in terms of certain positive kernels. In a special important case when the spaces consist of analytic functions on the unit ball of C d and the reproducing kernels are of the form (1 − z, w −1 )Ip and (1 − z, w ) −1 Iq, the characterization leads to a parametrization of the set of all solutions in terms of a linear fractional transformation.
