Abstract

   This memo defines a set of extensions that instrument RADIUS
   authentication server functions.  These extensions represent a
   portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network
   management protocols in the Internet community.  Using these
   extensions, IP-based management stations can manage RADIUS
   authentication servers.

   This memo obsoletes <a href="./rfc2619">RFC 2619</a> by deprecating the MIB table containing
   IPv4-only address formats and defining a new table to add support for
   version-neutral IP address formats.  The remaining MIB objects from
   <a href="./rfc2619">RFC 2619</a> are carried forward into this document.  This memo also adds
   UNITS and REFERENCE clauses to selected objects.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>.  Introduction</span>

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   The objects defined within this memo relate to the Remote
   Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Authentication Server as
   defined in <a href="./rfc2865">RFC 2865</a> [<a href="./rfc2865" title="&quot;Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)&quot;">RFC2865</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  Terminology</span>

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in <a href="./rfc2119">RFC 2119</a> [<a href="./rfc2119" title="&quot;Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels&quot;">RFC2119</a>].

   This document uses terminology from <a href="./rfc2865">RFC 2865</a> [<a href="./rfc2865" title="&quot;Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)&quot;">RFC2865</a>].

   This document uses the word "malformed" with respect to RADIUS
   packets, particularly in the context of counters of "malformed
   packets".  While <a href="./rfc2865">RFC 2865</a> does not provide an explicit definition of
   "malformed", malformed generally means that the implementation has
   determined the packet does not match the format defined in <a href="./rfc2865">RFC 2865</a>.
   Some implementations may determine that packets are malformed when
   the Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) format does not follow the <a href="./rfc2865">RFC</a>
   <a href="./rfc2865">2865</a> recommendations for VSAs.  Those implementations are used in
   deployments today, and thus set the de facto definition of
   "malformed".

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework</span>

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to <a href="./rfc3410#section-7">section&nbsp;7 of
   RFC 3410</a> [<a href="./rfc3410" title="&quot;Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet- Standard Management Framework&quot;">RFC3410</a>].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   <a href="./rfc2578">RFC 2578</a> [<a href="./rfc2578" title="&quot;Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)&quot;">RFC2578</a>], STD 58, <a href="./rfc2579">RFC 2579</a> [<a href="./rfc2579" title="&quot;Textual Conventions for SMIv2&quot;">RFC2579</a>] and STD 58, <a href="./rfc2580">RFC 2580</a>
   [<a href="./rfc2580" title="&quot;Conformance Statements for SMIv2&quot;">RFC2580</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>.  Scope of Changes</span>

   This document obsoletes <a href="./rfc2619">RFC 2619</a> [<a href="./rfc2619" title="&quot;RADIUS Authentication Server MIB&quot;">RFC2619</a>], RADIUS Authentication
   Server MIB, by deprecating the radiusAuthClientTable table and adding
   a new table, radiusAuthClientExtTable, containing
   radiusAuthClientInetAddressType and radiusAuthClientInetAddress.  The

<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-4" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4669">RFC 4669</a>             RADIUS Auth Server MIB (IPv6)           August 2006</span>


   purpose of these added MIB objects is to support version-neutral IP
   addressing formats.  The existing table containing
   radiusAuthClientAddress is deprecated.  The remaining MIB objects
   from <a href="./rfc2619">RFC 2619</a> are carried forward into this document.  This memo also
   adds UNITS and REFERENCE clauses to selected objects.

   <a href="./rfc4001">RFC 4001</a> [<a href="./rfc4001" title="&quot;Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses&quot;">RFC4001</a>], which defines the SMI Textual Conventions for
   version-neutral IP addresses, contains the following recommendation.

   'In particular, when revising a MIB module that contains IPv4
   specific tables, it is suggested to define new tables using the
   textual conventions defined in this memo [<a href="./rfc4001" title="&quot;Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses&quot;">RFC4001</a>] that support all
   versions of IP.  The status of the new tables SHOULD be "current",
   whereas the status of the old IP version specific tables SHOULD be
   changed to "deprecated".  The other approach, of having multiple
   similar tables for different IP versions, is strongly discouraged.'

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>.  Structure of the MIB Module</span>

   The RADIUS authentication protocol, described in <a href="./rfc2865">RFC 2865</a> [<a href="./rfc2865" title="&quot;Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)&quot;">RFC2865</a>],
   distinguishes between the client function and the server function.
   In RADIUS authentication, clients send Access-Requests, and servers
   reply with Access-Accepts, Access-Rejects, and Access-Challenges.
   Typically, NAS devices implement the client function, and thus would
   be expected to implement the RADIUS authentication client MIB, while
   RADIUS authentication servers implement the server function, and thus
   would be expected to implement the RADIUS authentication server MIB.

   However, it is possible for a RADIUS authentication entity to perform
   both client and server functions.  For example, a RADIUS proxy may
   act as a server to one or more RADIUS authentication clients, while
   simultaneously acting as an authentication client to one or more
   authentication servers.  In such situations, it is expected that
   RADIUS entities combining client and server functionality will
   support both the client and server MIBs.  The server MIB is defined
   in this document, and the client MIB is defined in [<a href="./rfc4668" title="&quot;RADIUS Authentication Client MIB for IPv6&quot;">RFC4668</a>].

   This MIB module contains fourteen scalars as well as a single table,
   the RADIUS Authentication Client Table, which contains one row for
   each RADIUS authentication client with which the server shares a
   secret.  Each entry in the RADIUS Authentication Client Table
   includes thirteen columns presenting a view of the activity of the
   RADIUS authentication server.

   This MIB imports from [<a href="./rfc2578" title="&quot;Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)&quot;">RFC2578</a>], [<a href="./rfc2580" title="&quot;Conformance Statements for SMIv2&quot;">RFC2580</a>], [<a href="./rfc3411" title="&quot;An Architecture for Describing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Frameworks&quot;">RFC3411</a>], and [<a href="./rfc4001" title="&quot;Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses&quot;">RFC4001</a>].

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4669">RFC 4669</a>             RADIUS Auth Server MIB (IPv6)           August 2006</span>


<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-6" href="#section-6">6</a>.  Deprecated Objects</span>

   The deprecated table in this MIB is carried forward from <a href="./rfc2619">RFC 2619</a>
   [<a href="./rfc2619" title="&quot;RADIUS Authentication Server MIB&quot;">RFC2619</a>].  There are two conditions under which it MAY be desirable
   for managed entities to continue to support the deprecated table:

   1.  The managed entity only supports IPv4 address formats.

   2.  The managed entity supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats,
       and the deprecated table is supported for backwards compatibility
       with older management stations.  This option SHOULD only be used
       when the IP addresses in the new table are in IPv4 format and can
       accurately be represented in both the new table and the
       deprecated table.

   Managed entities SHOULD NOT instantiate row entries in the deprecated
   table, containing IPv4-only address objects, when the RADIUS client
   address represented in such a table row is not an IPv4 address.
   Managed entities SHOULD NOT return inaccurate values of IP address or
   SNMP object access errors for IPv4-only address objects in otherwise
   populated tables.  When row entries exist in both the deprecated
   IPv4-only table and the new IP-version-neutral table that describe
   the same RADIUS client, the row indexes SHOULD be the same for the
   corresponding rows in each table, to facilitate correlation of these
   related rows by management applications.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-8" href="#section-8">8</a>.  Security Considerations</span>

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
   have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.  These are:






<span class="grey">Nelson                      Standards Track                    [Page 21]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-22" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4669">RFC 4669</a>             RADIUS Auth Server MIB (IPv6)           August 2006</span>


   radiusAuthServConfigReset
      This object can be used to reinitialize the persistent state of
      any server.  When set to reset(2), any persistent server state
      (such as a process) is reinitialized as if the server had just
      been started.  Depending on the server implementation details,
      this action may or may not interrupt the processing of pending
      request in the server.  Abuse of this object may lead to a Denial
      of Service attack on the server.

   There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain
   sensitive information.  These are:

   radiusAuthClientIPAddress
      This can be used to determine the address of the RADIUS
      authentication client with which the server is communicating.
      This information could be useful in mounting an attack on the
      authentication client.

   radiusAuthClientInetAddress
      This can be used to determine the address of the RADIUS
      authentication client with which the server is communicating.
      This information could be useful in mounting an attack on the
      authentication client.

   It is thus important to control even GET access to these objects and
   possibly to even encrypt the values of these object when sending them
   over the network via SNMP.  Not all versions of SNMP provide features
   for such a secure environment.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 do not provide a secure environment.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec),
   there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to
   access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this
   MIB.

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see <a href="./rfc3410#section-8">[RFC3410], section&nbsp;8</a>),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
   rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
