1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for the
configuration and identification of some common properties within a
device containing a NETCONF Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server.

Devices that are managed by NETCONF and perhaps other mechanisms have
common properties that need to be configured and monitored in a
standard way.

The "ietf-system" YANG module defined in this document provides the
following features:

o system identification configuration and monitoring

o of system time-of-day identification

o configuration and monitoring of system time-of-day

o configuration of user authentication configuration
o configuration of local users configuration

o configuration of the DNS resolver configuration

o system control operations (shutdown, restart, setting time)

1.1. Terminology

The keywords key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14, [RFC2119].

The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are not redefined
here:

o client

o configuration data

o server

o state data

The following terms are defined in [RFC6020] and are not redefined
here:

o augment

o data model

1.2. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
follows:

o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.

o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write)
(read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only).

o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.

o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").

o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.

2. Objectives

2.1. System Identification

There are many common properties used to identify devices, operating
systems, software versions, etc. that need to be supported in the
system data module. These objects are defined as operational state
data
data, and the information returned by the server is intended to be
specific to the device vendor.

Some user-configurable administrative strings are also provided, such
as the system location and description.

2.2. System Time Management

The management

Management of the date and time used by the system need needs to be
supported. Use The use of one or more NTP servers to automatically set
the system date and time need needs to be possible. Utilization of the
Timezone database
Time Zone Database [RFC6557] also need needs to be supported. It should
be possible to configure the system to use NTP.

2.3. User Authentication

The authentication mechanism needs to support password authentication
over RADIUS, RADIUS in order to support deployment scenarios with centralized
authentication servers. Additionally, local users need to be
supported, for scenarios when no
centralized authentication server
exists, exists or for situations where the
centralized authentication server cannot be reached from the device. device,
local users need to be supported.

Since the mandatory transport protocol for NETCONF is SSH [RFC6242] Secure Shell
(SSH) [RFC6242], the authentication model needs to support SSH's
"publickey" and "password" authentication methods [RFC4252].

The model for authentication configuration should be flexible enough
to support authentication methods defined by other standard standards
documents or by vendors. It should be possible to configure the
system authentication properties.

2.4. DNS Resolver

The configuration of the DNS resolver within the system containing
the NETCONF server is required in order to control how domain names
are resolved.

2.5. System Control

A few operations are needed to support common tasks such as
restarting the device or setting the system date and time.

3. System Data Model

3.1. System Identification

The data model for system identification has the following structure:

+--rw system
| +--rw contact? string
| +--rw hostname? inet:domain-name
| +--rw location? string
+--ro system-state
+--ro platform
+--ro os-name? string
+--ro os-release? string
+--ro os-version? string
+--ro machine? string

3.2. System Time Management

The data model for system time management has the following
structure:

New "case" statements can be added over time in future revisions of this data
model, or augmented to the
"transport" choice to support through augmentation by some other transport protocols. data model.

3.3. DNS Resolver Model

The data model for configuration of the DNS resolver has the
following structure:

3.4. RADIUS Client Model

The data model for configuration of the RADIUS client has the
following structure:

New "case" statements can be added over time or augmented to the
"transport" choice to support in future revisions of this data
model, or through augmentation by some other transport protocols. data model.

3.5. User Authentication Model

This document defines three authentication methods for use with
NETCONF:

o publickey for local users over SSH

o password for local users over any secure transport

o password for RADIUS users over any secure transport

Additional methods can be defined by other standard standards documents or by
vendors.

This document defines two optional YANG features, features: "local-users" and
"radius-authentication", which the server advertises to indicate
support for configuring local users on the device, device and support for
using RADIUS for authentication, respectively.

The authentication parameters defined in this document are primarily
used to configure authentication of NETCONF users, users but MAY also be
used by other interfaces, e.g., a Command Line Interface command line interface or a Web- web-
based User Interface. user interface.

The data model for user authentication has the following structure:

+--rw system
+--rw authentication
+--rw user-authentication-order* identityref
+--rw user* [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw password? ianach:crypt-hash
+--rw authorized-key* [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw algorithm string
+--rw key-data binary

3.5.1. SSH Public Key Authentication

If the NETCONF server advertises the "local-users" feature,
configuration of local users and their SSH public keys is supported
in the /system/authentication/user list.

Public key authentication is requested by the SSH client. If the
"local-users" feature is supported, then when a NETCONF client starts
an SSH session towards the server using the "publickey"
authentication "method name" [RFC4252], the SSH server looks up the
user name given in the SSH authentication request in the /system/
authentication/user list,
/system/authentication/user list and verifies the key as described in
[RFC4253].

3.5.2. Local User Password Authentication

If the NETCONF server advertises the "local-users" feature,
configuration of local users and their passwords is supported in the
/system/authentication/user list.

For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication,
the leaf-list "user-authentication-order" is used to control if whether
or not local user password authentication should be used.

In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other
NETCONF transport protocols MAY also support password authentication.

When local user password authentication is requested, the NETCONF
transport looks up the user name provided by the client in the
/system/authentication/user list, list and verifies the password.

3.5.3. RADIUS Password Authentication

If the NETCONF server advertises the "radius-authentication" feature,
the device supports user authentication using RADIUS.

For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication,
the leaf-list "user-authentication-order" is used to control if whether
or not RADIUS password authentication should be used.

In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other
NETCONF transport protocols MAY also support password authentication.

3.6. System Control

The following operations are defined:

set-current-datetime
system-restart
system-shutdown

Two protocol operations are included to restart or shutdown shut down the
system. The 'system-restart' operation can be used to restart the
entire system (not just the NETCONF server). The 'system-shutdown'
operation can be used to power off the entire system.

4. Relationship to the SNMPv2-MIB

If a device implements the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC3418], there are two
objects that MAY be mapped by the implementation. See the YANG
module definition in Section 6 for details. The following table
lists the YANG data nodes with corresponding objects in the SNMPv2-
MIB.

description
"The crypt-hash type is used to store passwords using
a hash function. The algorithms for applying the hash
function and encoding the result are implemented in
various UNIX systems as the function crypt(3).

A value of this type matches one of the forms:

$0$<clear text password>
$<id>$<salt>$<password hash>
$<id>$<parameter>$<salt>$<password hash>

The '$0$' prefix signals that the value is clear text. When
such a value is received by the server, a hash value is
calculated, and the string '$<id>$<salt>$' or
$<id>$<parameter>$<salt>$ is prepended to the result. This
value is stored in the configuration data store.

If a value starting with '$<id>$', where <id> is not '0', is
received, the server knows that the value already represents a
hashed value, value and stores it as is 'as is' in the data store.

When a server needs to verify a password given by a user, it
finds the stored password hash string for that user, extracts
the salt, and calculates the hash with the salt and given
password as input. If the calculated hash value is the same
as the stored value, the password given by the client is
accepted.

This type defines the following hash functions:

id | hash function | feature
---+---------------+-------------------
1 | MD5 | crypt-hash-md5
5 | SHA-256 | crypt-hash-sha-256
6 | SHA-512 | crypt-hash-sha-512

7. IANA Considerations

IANA is requested to create has created an IANA-maintained YANG Module module called
"iana-crypt-hash", based on the contents of Section 5, which will
allow for new hash algorithms to be added to the type "crypt-hash".
The registration procedure will be Expert Review, as defined by
[RFC5226].

This document registers two URIs in the IETF "IETF XML registry Registry"
[RFC3688]. Following the format in RFC 3688, the following
registrations are
requested to be have been made.

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-crypt-hash
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.

This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG "YANG Module Names Names"
registry [RFC6020].

name: iana-crypt-hash
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-crypt-hash
prefix: ianach
reference: RFC XXXX 7317

name: ietf-system
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system
prefix: sys
reference: RFC XXXX 7317

8. Security Considerations

The YANG modules defined in this memo are designed to be accessed via
the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the
secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement mandatory to implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC6242]. Authorization for access to specific
portions of conceptual data and operations within this module is
provided by the The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC6536].
[RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular
NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF
protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in the "ietf-system" YANG
module which are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true,
which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive
or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g.,
edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a
negative effect on network operations.
It is thus important to control write access (e.g., via edit-config)
to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and
data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

o /system/clock/timezone: This choice contains the objects used to
control the timezone time zone used by the device.

o /system/ntp: This container contains the objects used to control
the Network Time Protocol servers used by the device.

o /system/dns-resolver: This container contains the objects used to
control the Domain Name System servers used by the device.

o /system/radius: This container contains the objects used to
control the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service servers
used by the device.

o /system/authentication/user-authentication-order: This leaf
controls how user login attempts are authenticated by the device.

o /system/authentication/user: This list contains the local users
enabled on the system.

Some of the readable data nodes in the "ietf-system" YANG module may
be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.
It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-
config,
get-config or notification) to these data nodes. These are the
subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

o /system/platform: This container has objects which that may help
identify the specific NETCONF server and/or operating system
implementation used on the device.

o /system/authentication/user: This list has objects that may help
identify the specific user names and password information in use
on the device.

Some of the remote procedure call (RPC) RPC operations in the "ietf-system" YANG module may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It
is thus important to control access to these operations. These are
the operations and their sensitivity/
vulnerability: sensitivity/vulnerability:

o set-current-datetime: Changes the current date and time on the
device.

o system-restart: Reboots the device.

o system-shutdown: Shuts down the device.

Since this document describes the use of RADIUS for purposes of
authentication, it is vulnerable to all of the threats that are
present in other RADIUS applications. For a discussion of such
threats, see [RFC2865] and [RFC3162], and section Section 4 of [RFC3579].

This document provides configuration parameters for SSH's "publickey"
and "password" authentication mechanisms. Section 9.4 of [RFC4251]
and section Section 11 of [RFC4252] discuss security considerations for these
mechanisms.

The "iana-crypt-hash" YANG module defines a type "crypt-hash" that
can be used to store MD5 hashes. [RFC6151] discusses security
considerations for MD5. The usage of MD5 is NOT RECOMMENDED.
