Network Working Group L. Howard Request for Comments: 2307 Independent Consultant Category: Experimental March 1998 An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information Service Status of this Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1998). All Rights Reserved. Abstract This document describes an experimental mechanism for mapping entities related to TCP/IP and the UNIX system into X.500 [X500] entries so that they may be resolved with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [RFC2251]. A set of attribute types and object classes are proposed, along with specific guidelines for interpreting them. The intention is to assist the deployment of LDAP as an organizational nameservice. No proposed solutions are intended as standards for the Internet. Rather, it is hoped that a general consensus will emerge as to the appropriate solution to such problems, leading eventually to the adoption of standards. The proposed mechanism has already been implemented with some success. 1. Background and Motivation The UNIX (R) operating system, and its derivatives (specifically, those which support TCP/IP and conform to the X/Open Single UNIX specification [XOPEN]) require a means of looking up entities, by matching them against search criteria or by enumeration. (Other operating systems that support TCP/IP may provide some means of resolving some of these entities. This schema is applicable to those environments also.) These entities include users, groups, IP services (which map names to IP ports and protocols, and vice versa), IP protocols (which map names to IP protocol numbers and vice versa), RPCs (which map names to ONC Remote Procedure Call [RFC1057] numbers and vice versa), NIS Howard Experimental [Page 1] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 netgroups, booting information (boot parameters and MAC address mappings), filesystem mounts, IP hosts and networks, and RFC822 mail aliases. Resolution requests are made through a set of C functions, provided in the UNIX system's C library. For example, the UNIX system utility "ls", which enumerates the contents of a filesystem directory, uses the C library function getpwuid() in order to map user IDs to login names. Once the request is made, it is resolved using a "nameservice" which is supported by the client library. The nameservice may be, at its simplest, a collection of files in the local filesystem which are opened and searched by the C library. Other common nameservices include the Network Information Service (NIS) and the Domain Name System (DNS). (The latter is typically used for resolving hosts, services and networks.) Both these nameservices have the advantage of being distributed and thus permitting a common set of entities to be shared amongst many clients. LDAP is a distributed, hierarchical directory service access protocol which is used to access repositories of users and other network- related entities. Because LDAP is often not tightly integrated with the host operating system, information such as users may need to be kept both in LDAP and in an operating system supported nameservice such as NIS. By using LDAP as the the primary means of resolving these entities, these redundancy issues are minimized and the scalability of LDAP can be exploited. (By comparison, NIS services based on flat files do not have the scalability or extensibility of LDAP or X.500.) The object classes and attributes defined below are suitable for representing the aforementioned entities in a form compatible with LDAP and X.500 directory services. 2. General Issues 2.1. Terminology The key words "MUST", "SHOULD", and "MAY" used in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. For the purposes of this document, the term "nameservice" refers to a service, such as NIS or flat files, that is used by the operating system to resolve entities within a single, local naming context. Contrast this with a "directory service" such as LDAP, which supports extensible schema and multiple naming contexts. Howard Experimental [Page 2] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 The term "NIS-related entities" broadly refers to entities which are typically resolved using the Network Information Service. (NIS was previously known as YP.) Deploying LDAP for resolving these entities does not imply that NIS be used, as a gateway or otherwise. In particular, the host and network classes are generically applicable, and may be implemented on any system that wishes to use LDAP or X.500 for host and network resolution. The "DUA" (directory user agent) refers to the LDAP client querying these entities, such as an LDAP to NIS gateway or the C library. The "client" refers to the application which ultimately makes use of the information returned by the resolution. It is irrelevant whether the DUA and the client reside within the same address space. The act of the DUA making this information to the client is termed "republishing". To avoid confusion, the term "login name" refers to the user's login name (being the value of the uid attribute) and the term "user ID" refers to he user's integer identification number (being the value of the uidNumber attribute). The phrases "resolving an entity" and "resolution of entities" refer respectively to enumerating NIS-related entities of a given type, and matching them against a given search criterion. One or more entities are returned as a result of successful "resolutions" (a "match" operation will only return one entity). The use of the term UNIX does not confer upon this schema the endorsement of owners of the UNIX trademark. Where necessary, the term "TCP/IP entity" is used to refer to protocols, services, hosts, and networks, and the term "UNIX entity" to its complement. (The former category does not mandate the host operating system supporting the interfaces required for resolving UNIX entities.) The OIDs defined below are derived from iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) directory(1) nisSchema(1). 2.2. Attributes The attributes and classes defined in this document are summarized below. The following attributes are defined in this document: uidNumber gidNumber gecos homeDirectory Howard Experimental [Page 3] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 loginShell shadowLastChange shadowMin shadowMax shadowWarning shadowInactive shadowExpire shadowFlag memberUid memberNisNetgroup nisNetgroupTriple ipServicePort ipServiceProtocol ipProtocolNumber oncRpcNumber ipHostNumber ipNetworkNumber ipNetmaskNumber macAddress bootParameter bootFile nisMapName nisMapEntry Additionally, some of the attributes defined in [RFC2256] are required. 2.3. Object classes The following object classes are defined in this document: posixAccount shadowAccount posixGroup ipService ipProtocol oncRpc ipHost ipNetwork nisNetgroup nisMap nisObject ieee802Device bootableDevice Additionally, some of the classes defined in [RFC2256] are required. Howard Experimental [Page 4] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 2.4. Syntax definitions The following syntax definitions [RFC2252] are used by this schema. The nisNetgroupTripleSyntax represents NIS netgroup triples: ( nisSchema.0.0 NAME 'nisNetgroupTripleSyntax' DESC 'NIS netgroup triple' ) Values in this syntax are represented by the following: nisnetgrouptriple = "(" hostname "," username "," domainname ")" hostname = "" / "-" / keystring username = "" / "-" / keystring domainname = "" / "-" / keystring X.500 servers may use the following representation of the above syntax: nisNetgroupTripleSyntax ::= SEQUENCE { hostname [0] IA5String OPTIONAL, username [1] IA5String OPTIONAL, domainname [2] IA5String OPTIONAL } The bootParameterSyntax syntax represents boot parameters: ( nisSchema.0.1 NAME 'bootParameterSyntax' DESC 'Boot parameter' ) where: bootparameter = key "=" server ":" path key = keystring server = keystring path = keystring X.500 servers may use the following representation of the above syntax: bootParameterSyntax ::= SEQUENCE { key IA5String, server IA5String, path IA5String } Values adhering to these syntaxes are encoded as strings by LDAP servers.

Implementation details 5.1. Suggested resolution methods The preferred means of directing a client application (one using the shared services of the C library) to use LDAP as its information source for the functions listed in 5.2 is to modify the source code to directly query LDAP. As the source to commercial C libraries and applications is rarely available to the end-user, one could emulate a supported nameservice (such as NIS). (This is also an appropriate opportunity to perform caching of entries across process address spaces.) In the case of NIS, reference implementations are widely available and the RPC interface is well known. The means by which the operating system is directed to use LDAP is implementation dependent. For example, some operating systems and C libraries support end-user extensible resolvers using dynamically loadable libraries and a nameservice "switch". The means in which the DUA locates LDAP servers is also implementation dependent. Howard Experimental [Page 10] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 5.2. Affected library functions The following functions are typically found in the C libraries of most UNIX and POSIX compliant systems. An LDAP search filter [RFC2254] which may be used to satisfy the function call is included alongside each function name. Parameters are denoted by %s and %d for string and integer arguments, respectively. Long lines are broken. getpwnam() (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s)) getpwuid() (&(objectClass=posixAccount) (uidNumber=%d)) getpwent() (objectClass=posixAccount) getspnam() (&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=%s)) getspent() (objectClass=shadowAccount) getgrnam() (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=%s)) getgrgid() (&(objectClass=posixGroup) (gidNumber=%d)) getgrent() (objectClass=posixGroup) getservbyname() (&(objectClass=ipService) (cn=%s)(ipServiceProtocol=%s)) getservbyport() (&(objectClass=ipService) (ipServicePort=%d) (ipServiceProtocol=%s)) getservent() (objectClass=ipService) getrpcbyname() (&(objectClass=oncRpc)(cn=%s)) getrpcbynumber() (&(objectClass=oncRpc)(oncRpcNumber=%d)) getrpcent() (objectClass=oncRpc) getprotobyname() (&(objectClass=ipProtocol)(cn=%s)) getprotobynumber() (&(objectClass=ipProtocol) (ipProtocolNumber=%d)) getprotoent() (objectClass=ipProtocol) gethostbyname() (&(objectClass=ipHost)(cn=%s)) gethostbyaddr() (&(objectClass=ipHost)(ipHostNumber=%s)) gethostent() (objectClass=ipHost) getnetbyname() (&(objectClass=ipNetwork)(cn=%s)) getnetbyaddr() (&(objectClass=ipNetwork) (ipNetworkNumber=%s)) getnetent() (objectClass=ipNetwork) setnetgrent() (&(objectClass=nisNetgroup)(cn=%s)) Howard Experimental [Page 11] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 5.3. Interpreting user and group entries User and group resolution is initiated by the functions prefixed by getpw and getgr respectively. The uid attribute contains the user's login name. The cn attribute, in posixGroup entries, contains the group's name. The account object class provides a convenient structural class for posixAccount, and SHOULD be used where additional attributes are not required. It is suggested that uid and cn are used as the RDN attribute type for posixAccount and posixGroup entries, respectively. An account's GECOS field is preferably determined by a value of the gecos attribute. If no gecos attribute exists, the value of the cn attribute MUST be used. (The existence of the gecos attribute allows information embedded in the GECOS field, such as a user's telephone number, to be returned to the client without overloading the cn attribute. It also accommodates directories where the common name does not contain the user's full name.) An entry of class posixAccount, posixGroup, or shadowAccount without a userPassword attribute MUST NOT be used for authentication. The client should be returned a non-matchable password such as "x". userPassword values MUST be represented by following syntax: passwordvalue = schemeprefix encryptedpassword schemeprefix = "{" scheme "}" scheme = "crypt" / "md5" / "sha" / altscheme altscheme = "x-" keystring encryptedpassword = encrypted password The encrypted password contains of a plaintext key hashed using the algorithm scheme. userPassword values which do not adhere to this syntax MUST NOT be used for authentication. The DUA MUST iterate through the values of the attribute until a value matching the above syntax is found. Only if encryptedpassword is an empty string does the user have no password. DUAs are not required to consider encryption schemes which the client will not recognize; in most cases, it may be sufficient to consider only "crypt". Below is an example of a userPassword attribute: userPassword: {crypt}X5/DBrWPOQQaI Howard Experimental [Page 12] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 A future standard may specify LDAP v3 attribute descriptions to represent hashed userPasswords, as noted below. This schema MUST NOT be used with LDAP v2 DUAs and DSAs. attributetype = attributename sep attributeoption attributename = "userPassword" sep = ";" attributeoption = schemeclass "-" scheme schemeclass = "hash" / altschemeclass scheme = "crypt" / "md5" / "sha" / altscheme altschemeclass = "x-" keystring altscheme = keystring Below is an example of a userPassword attribute, represented with an LDAP v3 attribute description: userPassword;hash-crypt: X5/DBrWPOQQaI A DUA MAY utilise the attributes in the shadowAccount class to provide shadow password service (getspnam() and getspent()). In such cases, the DUA MUST NOT make use of the userPassword attribute for getpwnam() et al, and MUST return a non-matchable password (such as "x") to the client instead. 5.4. Interpreting hosts and networks The ipHostNumber and ipNetworkNumber attributes are defined in preference to dNSRecord (defined in [RFC1279]), in order to simplify the DUA's role in interpreting entries in the directory. A dNSRecord expresses a complete resource record, including time to live and class data, which is extraneous to this schema. Additionally, the ipHost and ipNetwork classes permit a host or network (respectively) and all its aliases to be represented by a single entry in the directory. This is not necessarily possible if a DNS resource record is mapped directly to an LDAP entry. Implementations that wish to use LDAP to master DNS zone information are not precluded from doing so, and may simply avoid the ipHost and ipNetwork classes. This document redefines, although not exclusively, the ipNetwork class defined in [RFC1279], in order to achieve consistent naming with ipHost. The ipNetworkNumber attribute is also used in the siteContact object class [ROSE]. Howard Experimental [Page 13] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 The trailing zeros in a network address MUST be omitted. CIDR-style network addresses (eg. 192.168.1/24) MAY be used. Hosts with IPv6 addresses MUST be written in their "preferred" form as defined in section 2.2.1 of [RFC1884], such that all components of the address are indicated and leading zeros are omitted. This provides a consistent means of resolving ipHosts by address. 5.5. Interpreting other entities In general, a one-to-one mapping between entities and LDAP entries is proposed, in that each entity has exactly one representation in the DIT. In some cases this is not feasible; for example, a service which is represented in more than one protocol domain. Consider the following entry: dn: cn=domain, dc=aja, dc=com cn: domain cn: nameserver objectClass: top objectClass: ipService ipServicePort: 53 ipServiceProtocol: tcp ipServiceProtocol: udp This entry MUST map to the following two (2) services entities: domain 53/tcp nameserver domain 53/udp nameserver While the above two entities may be represented as separate LDAP entities, with different distinguished names (such as cn=domain+ipServiceProtocol=tcp, ... and cn=domain+ipServiceProtocol=udp, ...) it is convenient to represent them as a single entry. (If a service is represented in multiple protocol domains with different ports, then multiple entries are required; multivalued RDNs may be used to distinguish them.) With the exception of userPassword values, which are parsed according to the syntax considered in section 5.2, any empty values (consisting of a zero length string) are returned by the DUA to the client. The DUA MUST reject any entries which do not conform to the schema (missing mandatory attributes). Non-conforming entries SHOULD be ignored while enumerating entries. The nisObject object class MAY be used as a generic means of representing NIS entities. Its use is not encouraged; where support for entities not described in this schema is desired, an appropriate Howard Experimental [Page 14] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 schema should be devised. Implementors are strongly advised to support end-user extensible mappings between NIS entities and object classes. (Where the nisObject class is used, the nisMapName attribute may be used as a RDN.) 5.6. Canonicalizing entries with multi-valued naming attributes For entities such as hosts, services, networks, protocols, and RPCs, where there may be one or more aliases, the respective entry's relative distinguished name SHOULD be used to determine the canonical name. Any other values for the same attribute are used as aliases. For example, the service described in section 5.5 has the canonical name "domain" and exactly one alias, "nameserver". The schema in this document generally only defines one attribute per class which is suitable for distinguishing an entity (excluding any attributes with integer syntax; it is assumed that entries will be distinguished on name). Usually, this is the common name (cn) attribute. This aids the DUA in determining the canonical name of an entity, as it can examine the value of the relative distinguished name. Aliases are thus any values of the distinguishing attribute (such as cn) which do not match the canonical name of the entity. In the event that a different attribute is used to distinguish the entry, as may be the case where these object classes are used as auxiliary classes, the entry's canonical name may not be present in the RDN. In this case, the DUA MUST choose one of the non- distinguished values to represent the entity's canonical name. As the directory server guarantees no ordering of attribute values, it may not be possible to distinguish an entry deterministically. This ambiguity SHOULD NOT be resolved by mapping one directory entry into multiple entities. 6. Implementation focus A NIS server which uses LDAP instead of local files has been developed which supports the schema defined in this document. A reference implementation of the C library resolution code has been written for the Free Software Foundation. It may support other C libraries which support the Name Service Switch (NSS) or the Information Retrieval Service (IRS). The author has made available a freely distributable set of scripts which parses local databases such as /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts into a form suitable for loading into an LDAP server. Howard Experimental [Page 15] RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 1998 7. Security Considerations The entirety of related security considerations are outside the scope of this document. It is noted that making passwords encrypted with a widely understood hash function (such as crypt()) available to non- privileged users is dangerous because it exposes them to dictionary and brute-force attacks. This is proposed only for compatibility with existing UNIX system implementations. Sites where security is critical SHOULD consider using a strong authentication service for user authentication. Alternatively, the encrypted password could be made available only to a subset of privileged DUAs, which would provide "shadow" password service to client applications. This may be difficult to enforce. Because the schema represents operating system-level entities, access to these entities SHOULD be granted on a discretionary basis. (There is little point in restricting access to data which will be republished without restriction, however.) It is particularly important that only administrators can modify entries defined in this schema, with the exception of allowing a principal to change their password (which may be done on behalf of the user by a client bound as a superior principal, such that password restrictions may be enforced). For example, if a user were allowed to change the value of their uidNumber attribute, they could subvert security by equivalencing their account with the superuser account. A subtree of the DIT which is to be republished by a DUA (such as a NIS gateway) SHOULD be within the same administrative domain that the republishing DUA represents. (For example, principals outside an organization, while conceivably part of the DIT, should not be considered with the same degree of authority as those within the organization.) Finally, care should be exercised with integer attributes of a sensitive nature (particularly the uidNumber and gidNumber attributes) which contain zero-length values. DUAs MAY treat such values as corresponding to the "nobody" or "nogroup" user and group, respectively. 8.
