        YANG Groupings for HTTP 1.1/2.0 Clients and HTTP Servers
                draft-ietf-netconf-http-client-server-13

Abstract

   This document defines two YANG modules: the first defines a minimal
   grouping for configuring an HTTP client, and the second defines a
   minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP server.  It is intended that
   these groupings will be used to help define the configuration for
   simple HTTP-based protocols (not for complete web servers or
   browsers).

   The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains the text
   "one or more YANG modules" and, later, "modules".  This text is
   sourced from a file in a context where it is unknown how many modules
   a draft defines.  The text is not wrong as is, but it may be improved
   by stating more directly how many modules are defined.

   The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains a self-
   reference to this draft, along with a corresponding Informative
   Reference in the Appendix.

   The following Appendix section is to be removed prior to publication:

1.  Introduction

   This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules: the first
   defines a minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP client, and the
   second defines a minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP server.  It
   is intended that these groupings will be used to help define the
   configuration for simple HTTP-based protocols (not for complete web
   servers or browsers).

1.1.  Relation to other RFCs

   This document presents one or more YANG modules [RFC7950] that are
   part of a collection of RFCs that work together to, ultimately,
   enable the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the
   NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols.

   The normative dependency relationship between the various RFCs in
   this collection is presented in the below diagram.  The labels in the
   diagram represent the primary purpose provided by each RFC.  URLs for
   each RFC are provided below the diagram.

1.2.  Specification Language

   The 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] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

1.3.  Adherence to the NMDA

   This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore
   Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].  For instance, as described in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore],
   trust anchors and keys installed during manufacturing are expected to
   appear in <operational>.

1.4.  Conventions

   Various examples used in this document use a placeholder value for
   binary data that has been base64 encoded (e.g., "BASE64VALUE=").
   This placeholder value is used as real base64 encoded structures are
   often many lines long and hence distracting to the example being
   presented.

2.  The "ietf-http-client" Module

   This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-http-client".  A
   high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1.
   Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples
   (Section 2.2).  The YANG module itself is defined in Section 2.3.

2.1.  Data Model Overview

   This section provides an overview of the "ietf-http-client" module in
   terms of its features and groupings.

2.1.1.  Features

   The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
   the "ietf-http-client" module:

   Features:
     +-- proxy-connect
     +-- basic-auth
     +-- tcp-supported
     +-- tls-supported

   The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
   [RFC8340].

2.1.2.  Groupings

   The "ietf-http-client" module defines the following "grouping"
   statements:

   *  http-client-identity-grouping
   *  http-client-grouping
   *  http-client-stack-grouping

   Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections.

2.1.2.1.  The "http-client-identity-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
   identity-grouping" grouping:

Watsen                   Expires 19 October 2023                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft   Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers       April 2023

     grouping http-client-identity-grouping:
       +-- client-identity!
          +-- (auth-type)
             +--:(basic)
                +-- basic {basic-auth}?
                   +-- user-id                 string
                   +---u ct:password-grouping

   Comments:

   *  This grouping exists because it is used three times by the "http-
      client-grouping" discussed in Section 2.1.2.2.

   *  The "client-identity" node is a "presence" container so the
      mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that this node must be
      configured, as a client identity may be configured at protocol
      layers.

   *  The "basic" authentication scheme is the only scheme defined by
      this module, albeit it must be enabled via the "basic-auth"
      feature (see Section 2.1.1).

   *  Other authentication schemes MAY be augmented in as needed by the
      application.

2.1.2.2.  The "http-client-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
   grouping" grouping:

     grouping http-client-grouping:
       +---u http-client-identity-grouping
       +-- proxy-connect! {proxy-connect}?
          +-- (proxy-type)
             +--:(http)
             |  +-- http-proxy
             |     +-- tcp-client-parameters
             |     |  +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
             |     +-- http-client-parameters
             |        +---u http-client-identity-grouping
             +--:(https)
                +-- https-proxy
                   +-- tcp-client-parameters
                   |  +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
                   +-- tls-client-parameters
                   |  +---u tlsc:tls-client-grouping
                   +-- http-client-parameters
                      +---u http-client-identity-grouping

   Comments:

   *  The "http-client-grouping" defines the configuration for just
      "HTTP" part of a protocol stack.  It does not, for instance,
      define any configuration for the "TCP" or "TLS" protocol layers
      (for that, see Section 2.1.2.3).

   *  Beyond configuring the client's identity, via the "http-client-
      identity-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.2.1, this
      grouping defines support for HTTP-proxies, albeit it must be
      enabled via a "feature" statement.

   *  The "proxy-connect" node is a "presence" container so the
      mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that this node must be
      configured, assuming the server supports the "proxy-connect"
      feature.

   *  For the referenced grouping statement(s):

      -  The "http-client-identity-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 2.1.2.1.
      -  The "tcp-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
      -  The "tls-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].

2.1.2.3.  The "http-client-stack-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
   stack-grouping" grouping:

     grouping http-client-stack-grouping:
       +-- (transport)
          +--:(tcp) {tcp-supported}?
          |  +-- tcp
          |     +-- tcp-client-parameters
          |     |  +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
          |     +-- http-client-parameters
          |        +---u http-client-grouping

   Comments:

   *  The "http-client-stack-grouping" is a convenience grouping for
      consuming modules.  It defines both the "HTTP" and "HTTPS"
      protocol stacks, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement
      for application control.

   *  For the referenced grouping statement(s):

      -  The "tcp-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
      -  The "tls-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].
      -  The "http-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 2.1.2.2 in this document.

2.1.3.  Protocol-accessible Nodes

   The "ietf-http-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that
   are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.

2.2.  Example Usage

   This section presents two examples showing the http-client-grouping
   populated with some data.

   The following example illustrates an HTTP client connecting directly

   <!--  It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead.  -->

   </http-client>

   The following example illustrates the same client connecting through
   an HTTP proxy.  This example is consistent with examples presented in
   Section 2.2 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and Section 2.2 of
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

3.  The "ietf-http-server" Module

   This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-http-server".  A
   high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 3.1.
   Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples
   (Section 3.2).  The YANG module itself is defined in Section 3.3.

3.1.  Data Model Overview

   This section provides an overview of the "ietf-http-server" module in
   terms of its features and groupings.

3.1.1.  Features

   The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
   the "ietf-http-server" module:

   Features:
     +-- client-auth-supported
     +-- local-users-supported
     +-- basic-auth
     +-- tcp-supported
     +-- tls-supported

   The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
   [RFC8340].

Internet-Draft   Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers       April 2023

3.1.2.  Groupings

   The "ietf-http-server" module defines the following "grouping"
   statements:

   *  http-server-grouping
   *  http-server-stack-grouping

   Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections.

3.1.2.1.  The "http-server-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-server-
   grouping" grouping:

     grouping http-server-grouping:
       +-- server-name?             string
       +-- client-authentication! {client-auth-supported}?
          +-- users {local-users-supported}?
             +-- user* [user-id]
                +-- user-id?       string
                +-- (auth-type)
                   +--:(basic)
                      +-- basic {basic-auth}?
                         +-- user-id?    string
                         +-- password?   ianach:crypt-hash

   Comments:

   *  The "http-server-grouping" defines the configuration for just
      "HTTP" part of a protocol stack.  It does not, for instance,
      define any configuration for the "TCP" or "TLS" protocol layers
      (for that, see Section 3.1.2.2).

   *  The "server-name" node defines the HTTP server's name, as
      presented to HTTP clients.

   *  The "client-authentication" node, which must by enabled by a
      feature, defines a very simple user-database.  Only the "basic"
      authentication scheme is supported, albeit it must be enabled by a
      "feature".  Other authentication schemes MAY be augmented in.

3.1.2.2.  The "http-server-stack-grouping" Grouping

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-server-
   stack-grouping" grouping:

   Comments:

   *  The "http-server-stack-grouping" is a convenience grouping for
      consuming modules.  It defines both the "HTTP" and "HTTPS"
      protocol stacks, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement
      for application control.

   *  For the referenced grouping statement(s):

      -  The "tcp-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
      -  The "tls-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].
      -  The "http-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
         Section 3.1.2.1 in this document.

3.1.3.  Protocol-accessible Nodes

   The "ietf-http-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that
   are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.

3.2.  Example Usage

   This section presents an example showing the http-server-grouping
   populated with some data.

4.  Security Considerations

4.1.  The "ietf-http-client" YANG Module

   The "ietf-http-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
   are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  Both of these protocols
   have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS)
   with mutual authentication.

   The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means
   to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of
   all available protocol operations and content.

   Since the module in this document only define groupings, these
   considerations are primarily for the designers of other modules that
   use these groupings.

Internet-Draft   Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers       April 2023

   One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  This node is
   as follows:

   *  The "client-identity/basic/password" node:

         The cleartext "password" node defined in the "http-client-
         identity-grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read
         operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be
         returned to a client.  For this reason, the NACM extension
         "default-deny-all" has been applied to it.

   Please be aware that this module uses the "key" and "private-key"
   nodes from the "ietf-crypto-types" module
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], where said nodes have the NACM
   extension "default-deny-all" set, thus preventing unrestricted read-
   access to the cleartext key values.

   None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
   considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments.  The NACM
   "default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes
   defined in this module.

   Please be aware that this module uses groupings from the "ietf-tls-
   client" and "ietf-tls-server" modules defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].  All of the data nodes defined
   in these groupings have the NACM extension "default-deny-write" set,
   thus preventing unrestricted write-access to the data nodes defined
   in those groupings.

   This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
   thus the security consideration for such is not provided here.

4.2.  The "ietf-http-server" YANG Module

   The "ietf-http-server" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
   are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  Both of these protocols
