Introduction This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730]. This mapping, an extension to EPP object mappings like the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731], for passing an allocation token one of the EPP transform commands including create, update, and transfer. The allocation token is known to the server to authorize a client that passes a matching allocation token with one of the supported EPP transform commands. It is up to server policy which EPP transform commands and which objects support the allocation token. The allocation token MAY Gould & Wodjenski Expires November 24, 2016 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft allocationToken May 2016 be returned to an authorized client for passing out-of-band to a client that uses it with an EPP transform command. 1.1. Conventions Used in This Document 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the character case presented in order to develop a conforming implementation. In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:" represents lines returned by a protocol server. Indentation and white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element relationships and are not a REQUIRED feature of this protocol. "allocationToken-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:allocationToken-1.0". The XML namespace prefix "allocationToken" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents. 2. Object Attributes This extension adds additional elements to EPP object mappings like the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. Only those new elements are described here. 2.1. Allocation Token The Allocation Token is a simple XML "token" type. The exact format of the Allocation Token is up to server policy. The server MUST have the allocation token for each object to match against the allocation token passed by the client to authorize the allocation of the object. The same <allocationToken:allocationToken> element is used for all of the supported EPP transform commands as well as the info response. If an invalid allocation token is passed the server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2201. Gould & Wodjenski Expires November 24, 2016 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft allocationToken May 2016 An example <allocationToken:allocationToken> element with value of "abc123": <allocationToken:allocationToken xmlns:allocationToken= "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:allocationToken-1.0"> abc123 </allocationToken:allocationToken> 3. EPP Command Mapping A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730]. 3.1. EPP Query Commands EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check> to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to retrieve object transfer status information. 3.1.1. EPP <check> Command This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <check> command of an object mapping like [RFC5731]. This extension allow clients to check the availability of an object with an allocation token, as described in Section 2.1. Clients can check if an object can be created using the allocation token. The allocation token is applied to all object names included in the EPP <check> command. Gould & Wodjenski Expires November 24, 2016 [Page 4]

EPP <info> Command This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <info> command of an object mapping like [RFC5731]. The EPP <info> command allows a client to request information on an existing object. Authorized clients MAY retrieve the allocation token (Section 2.1) along with the other object information using the <allocationToken:info> element that identifies the extension namespace. The <allocationToken:info> element is an empty element that serves as a marker to the server to return the <allocationToken:allocationToken> element, defined in Section 2.1, in the info response. If the client is not authorized to receive the allocation token (Section 2.1), the server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2201.

Internet-Draft allocationToken May 2016 3.2. EPP Transform Commands EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create an instance of an object, <delete> to delete an instance of an object, <renew> to extend the validity period of an object, <transfer> to manage object sponsorship changes, and <update> to change information associated with an object. 3.2.1. EPP <create> Command This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <create> command of an object mapping like [RFC5731]. The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a client to create an object. In addition to the EPP command elements described in an object mapping like [RFC5731], the command MUST contain a child <allocationToken:allocationToken> element, as defined in Section 2.1, that identifies the extension namespace for the client to be authorized to create and allocate the object. If the allocation token (Section 2.1) does not match the object's allocation token (Section 2.1), the server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2201.: Gould & Wodjenski Expires November 24, 2016 [Page 11]
