Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
1. Introduction
This document describes an internet domain name mapping for version
1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP). This mapping is
specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described
in [XML] and XML Schema notation as described in [XMLS-1] and [XMLS-
2].
[EPP] provides a complete description of EPP command and response
structures. A thorough understanding of the base protocol
specification is necessary to understand the mapping described in this
document.
It is important to note that XML is case sensitive. XML
specifications and examples provided in this document MUST be
interpreted in the exact character case presented to develop a
conforming implementation.
This document is being discussed on the "rrp" mailing list. To join
the list, send a message to <majordomo@verisign-grs.com> with the
words "subscribe rrp" in the body of the message. There is a web site
for the list archives at <http://www.verisign-grs.com/maillist/rrp>.

Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
2. Object Attributes
An EPP domain object has attributes and associated values that may be
viewed and modified by the sponsoring client or the server. This
section describes each attribute type in detail.
2.1 Domain Name and Host Names
The syntax for domain and host names described in this document MUST
conform to [RFC952] as updated by [RFC1123]. These conformance
requirements MAY change as a result of progressing work in developing
standards for internationalized domain names. A server MAY restrict
allowable domain names to a particular top level domain, second level
domain, or other domain for which the server is authoritative.
2.2 Client Identifiers
All EPP clients are identified by a server-unique identifier. Client
identifiers use the "clIDType" syntax described in [EPP].
2.3 Status Values
A domain name MUST always have at least one associated status
indicator. Status indicators MAY be set only by the client that
sponsors a known domain object and by the server on which the object
resides. A client MAY change the status of a domain object using the
EPP <update> command. Each status value MAY be accompanied by a
string of human-readable text that describes the rationale for the
status being applied to the object.
A client MUST NOT alter status values set by the server. A server MAY
alter status values set by a client subject to local policies.
Client-Managed Status Values:
CLIENT-HOLD
The domain MUST NOT be published in a zone for DNS resolution. The
domain object MAY be modified through protocol action.
CLIENT-LOCK
The domain MUST NOT be modified through any action of the EPP
<create>, <transfer>, or <update> commands, though the <update>
command MAY be used to change the status value. The <renew> command
MAY be applied to avoid exceeding the end of the domain validity
period. Hierarchical and associated objects MUST NOT be added to or
removed from the domain object.
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
Server-Managed Status Values:
NEW
The domain has been delegated, can be modified, and has not been
published in a zone. This is the nominal status for a newly created
domain object.
ACTIVE
The domain has been delegated, can be modified, and appears in a zone.
This is the nominal status for a domain object once it has been
published in a zone.
INACTIVE
The domain has not been delegated, can be modified, and does not
appear in a zone.
The NEW, ACTIVE, and INACTIVE statuses are mutually exclusive. A
domain object MUST be associated with only one of these values at any
time.
HOLD
The domain MUST NOT be published in a zone for DNS resolution. The
domain object MAY be modified through protocol action.
LOCK
The domain MUST NOT be modified through any action of the EPP
<create>, <transfer>, or <update> commands, though the <update>
command MAY be used to change the status value. The <renew> command
MAY be applied to avoid exceeding the end of the domain validity
period. Hierarchical and associated objects MUST NOT be added to or
removed from the domain object.
PENDING-TRANSFER
A transfer request has been received for the domain, and processing of
the request is pending.
PENDING-DELETE
A delete request has been received for this domain. The domain has
been removed from the zone, but has not yet been purged from the
server database.

Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
2.4 Domain Contacts
Domain objects MAY have associated social information describing human
or organizational contacts. Contact identifiers use the "roidType"
syntax described in [EPP].
2.5 Dates and Times
Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
Coordinated Time (UTC). Both extended and truncated date and time
forms defined in [ISO8601] MAY be used, though a server SHOULD use one
form or the other consistently.
2.6 Validity Periods
A domain name object MAY have an indefinite or specified validity
period. If server policy supports domain object validity periods, the
validity period is determined when a domain object is created, and it
MAY be extended by the action of the EPP <renew> and <transfer>
commands. As matter of server policy, this specification does not
define actions to be taken upon expiration of a domain object's
validity period.
Validity periods are measured in years or months with the appropriate
units specified using the "unit" attribute. Valid values for the
"unit" attribute are "y" for years and "m" for months. The minimum
allowable period value is one decimal (1). The maximum allowable
value is ninety-nine decimal (99). A server MAY support a lower
maximum value.
2.7 Authorization Identifiers
Authorization identifiers are associated with domain objects to
facilitate transformation operations on domain objects. Authorization
identifiers use the transaction identifier syntax described in [EPP].

3. EPP Command Mapping
A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in
[EPP]. The command mappings described here are specifically for use
in provisioning and managing internet domain names via EPP.
3.1 EPP Query Commands
EPP provides three commands to retrieve domain information: <check> to
determine if a domain object is known to the server, and <info> to
retrieve detailed information associated with a domain object, and
<transfer> to retrieve domain object transfer status information.
3.1.1 EPP <check> Command
The EPP <check> command is used to determine if a domain object is
known to the server. In addition to the standard EPP command
elements, the <check> command MUST contain a <domain:check> element
that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain
schema. The <domain:check> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
- One or more <domain:name> elements that contain the fully qualified
names of the domain objects to be queried.
Example <check> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp epp.xsd">
C: <command>
C: <check>
C: <domain:check xmlns:domain="urn:iana:xml:ns:domain"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:domain domain.xsd">
C: <domain:name>example1.com</domain:name>
C: <domain:name>example2.com</domain:name>
C: <domain:name>example3.com</domain:name>
C: </domain:check>
C: </check>
C: <unspec/>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <check> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:chkData> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
The <domain:chkData> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
- One or more <domain:cd> elements that contain the fully qualified
names for the queried domain objects and an "x" attribute whose value
identifies the object as either "+" for a known object or "-" for an
unknown object.
Example <check> response:
S:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
S:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
S: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
S: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp epp.xsd">
S: <response>
S: <result code="1000">
S: <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
S: </result>
S: <resData>
S: <domain:chkData xmlns:domain="urn:iana:xml:ns:domain"
S: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:domain domain.xsd">
S: <domain:cd x="+">example1.com</domain:cd>
S: <domain:cd x="-">example2.com</domain:cd>
S: <domain:cd x="+">example3.com</domain:cd>
S: </domain:chkData>
S: </resData>
S: <unspec/>
S: <trID>
S: <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
S: <svTRID>54322-XYZ</svTRID>
S: </trID>
S: </response>
S:</epp>
An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <check> command can not be
processed for any reason.
3.1.2 EPP <info> Command
The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve information associated with
a domain object. In addition to the standard EPP command elements,
the <info> command MUST contain a <domain:info> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:info> element SHALL contain the following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object to be queried.
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
Example <info> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp epp.xsd">

C: </domain:info>
C: </info>
C: <unspec/>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:infData> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:infData> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object.
- A <domain:roid> element that contains the domain object's repository
object identifier.
- One or more <domain:status> elements that contain the current status
descriptors associated with the domain. See the "Object Attributes"
section for a list of valid status attribute values.
- If supported by the server, one <domain:registrant> element and one
or more <domain:contact> elements that contain identifiers for the
human or organizational social information objects associated with the
domain object.
- Zero or more <domain:ns> elements that contain the fully qualified
names of the name server objects associated with the domain object.
- Zero or more <domain:host> elements that contain the fully qualified
names of the host objects created under this hierarchical domain
object.
- A <domain:clID> element that contains the identifier of the
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
sponsoring client.
- A <domain:crID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that created the domain object.
- A <domain:crDate> element that contains the date and time of domain
object creation.
- A <domain:exDate> element that contains the date and time
identifying the end of the domain object's registration period.
- A <domain:upID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that last updated the domain object. This element MUST NOT be present
if the domain has never been modified.
- A <domain:upDate> element that contains the date and time of the
most recent domain object modification. This element MUST NOT be
present if the domain object has never been modified.
- A <domain:trDate> elements that contains the date and time of the
most recent successful domain object transfer. This element MUST NOT
be provided if the domain object has never been transferred.
- A <domain:auID> element derived from either the original domain
object creation transaction or the most recent successful transfer
transaction. This element MUST NOT be provided if the querying client
is not the current sponsoring client.

3.1.3 EPP <transfer> Command
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
The EPP <transfer> command provides a query operation that allows a
client to determine real-time status of pending and completed transfer
requests. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
<transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute with value "query",
and a <domain:transferQ> element that identifies the domain namespace
and the location of the domain schema. The <domain:transferQ> element
SHALL contain the following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object to be queried.
Example <transfer> query command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp epp.xsd">
C: <command>
C: <transfer op="query">

C: </auID>
C: </transfer>
C: <unspec/>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <transfer> query command has been processed successfully, the
EPP <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:trnData> element
that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain
schema. The <domain:trnData> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object.
- A <domain:trStatus> element that contains the state of the most
recent transfer request. Valid values are "PENDING", "APPROVED",
"REJECTED", "AUTO-APPROVED", "AUTO-REJECTED", and "CANCELLED".
- A <domain:reID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that requested the object transfer.
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
- A <domain:reDate> element that contains the date and time that the
transfer was requested.
- A <domain:acID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that SHOULD act upon the transfer request.
- A <domain:acDate> element that contains the date and time of a
required or completed response. For a PENDING request, the value
identifies the date and time by which a response is required before an
automated response action MUST be taken by the server. For all other
status types, the value identifies the date and time when the request
was completed.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:exDate> element that contains the end of the
domain object's validity period if the <transfer> command caused or
causes a change in the validity period.
Example <transfer> query response:
S:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <transfer> query command
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
can not be processed for any reason.
3.2 EPP Transform Commands
EPP provides five commands to transform domain objects: <create> to
create an instance of a domain object, <delete> to delete an instance
of a domain object, <renew> to extend the validity period of a domain
object, <transfer> to manage domain object sponsorship changes, and
<update> to change information associated with a domain object.
3.2.1 EPP <create> Command
The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to create a domain object. In addition to the standard EPP
command elements, the <create> command MUST contain a <domain:create>
element that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the
domain schema. The <domain:create> element SHALL contain the
following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object to be created.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the initial
registration period of the domain object. A server MAY define a
default initial registration period if not specified by the client.
- Zero or more <domain:ns> elements that contain the fully qualified
name of a known host object to provide resolution services for the
domain. A host object MUST be known to the server before the host
object can be associated with a domain object. A server MUST provide
host object services to provide domain name services. The EPP mapping
for host objects is described in [EPP-H].
- An OPTIONAL <domain:registrant> element that contains the identifier
for the human or organizational social information (contact) object to
be associated with the domain object as the object registrant. This
object identifier MUST be known to the server before the contact
object can be associated with the domain object. The EPP mapping for
contact objects is described in [EPP-C].
- Zero or more OPTIONAL <domain:contact> elements that contain the
identifiers for other contact objects to be associated with the domain
object. Contact object identifiers MUST be known to the server before
the contact object can be associated with the domain object.
It is important to note that the transaction identifier associated
with successful creation of a domain object becomes the authorization
identifier required to transfer sponsorship of the domain object. A
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
client MUST retain all transaction identifiers associated with domain
object creation and protect them from disclosure. A client acting as
a proxy for a registrant MUST provide a copy of the transaction
identifier information to the registrant, who will need this
information to request a domain transfer through a different client.
Example <create> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"

C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:creData> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:creData> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object.
- A <domain:roid> element that contains the domain object's repository
object identifier.
- A <domain:exDate> element that contains the date and time
identifying the end of the domain object's registration period.

3.2.2 EPP <delete> Command
The EPP <delete> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to delete a domain object. In addition to the standard EPP
command elements, the <delete> command MUST contain a <domain:delete>
element that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the
domain schema. The <domain:delete> element SHALL contain the
following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object to be deleted.
A domain object MUST NOT be deleted if the domain is associated with
hierarchical host objects. For example, if domain "example.com" is
known, and host object "ns1.example.com" is also known, then domain
"example.com" MUST NOT be deleted until host "ns1.example.com" has
been either deleted or renamed to exist in a different hierarchical
domain.

3.2.3 EPP <renew> Command
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
The EPP <renew> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to extend the validity period of a domain object. In addition
to the standard EPP command elements, the <renew> command MUST contain
a <domain:renew> element that identifies the domain namespace and the
location of the domain schema. The <domain:renew> element SHALL
contain the following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object whose validity period is to be extended.
- A <domain:curExpDate> element that contains the date on which the
current validity period ends. This value ensures that repeated
<renew> commands do not result in multiple unanticipated successful
renewals.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
units to be added to the registration period of the domain object.
Example <renew> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"

C: </auID>
C: </renew>
C: <unspec/>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <renew> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:creData> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:creData> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object.
- A <domain:roid> element that contains the domain object's repository
object identifier.
- A <domain:exDate> element that contains the date and time
identifying the end of the domain object's registration period.

An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <renew> command can not be
processed for any reason.
3.2.4 EPP <transfer> Command
The EPP <transfer> command provides a transform operation that allows
a client to manage requests to transfer the sponsorship of a domain
object. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
<transfer> command MUST contain a <domain:transfer> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:transfer> element SHALL contain the following child
elements:
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object for which a transfer request is to be created,
approved, rejected, or cancelled.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
units to be added to the registration period of the domain object
during the transfer process. This element MUST be consistently
present or absent for all associated request, approval, rejection, or
cancellation operations.
Every EPP <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute that
identifies the transfer operation to be performed. Valid values,
definitions, and authorizations for all attribute values are defined
in [EPP].
Every EPP <transfer> command MUST also contain an authorization
identifier as described in [EPP]. It is important to note that the
transaction identifier associated with successful transfer of a domain
object becomes the authorization identifier required to transfer
sponsorship of the domain object. A client MUST retain all
transaction identifiers associated with domain object creation and
protect them from disclosure. A client acting as a proxy for a
registrant MUST provide a copy of the transaction identifier
information to the registrant, who will need this information to
request a domain transfer through a different client.
Transfer of a domain object MUST implicitly transfer all host objects
that exist hierarchically under the domain object. For example, if
domain object "example.com" is transferred and host object
"ns1.example.com" exists, the host object MUST be transferred as part
of the "example.com" transfer process. Host objects that are subject
to transfer when transferring a domain object are listed in the
response to an EPP <info> command performed on the domain object.

When a <transfer> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:trnData> element that
identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
The <domain:trnData> element SHALL contain the same child elements
defined for a transfer query response.

An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <transfer> command can not
be processed for any reason.
3.2.5 EPP <update> Command
The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to modify the attributes of a domain object. In addition to
the standard EPP command elements, the <update> command MUST contain a
<domain:update> element that identifies the domain namespace and the
location of the domain schema. The <domain:update> element SHALL
contain the following child elements:
- A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
the domain object to be updated.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:add> element that contains attribute values to
be added to the domain object.
Hollenbeck Expires October 9, 2001 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft EPP Domain Name Mapping April 9, 2001
- An OPTIONAL <domain:rem> element that contains attribute values to
be removed from the domain object.
- An OPTIONAL <domain:chg> element that contains object attribute
values to be changed.
Either a <domain:add> element, a <domain:rem> element, or a
<domain:chg> element MUST be provided, and any combination of these
elements MAY be provided. The <domain:add> and <domain:rem> elements
SHALL contain the following child elements:
- Zero or more <domain:ns> elements that contain the fully qualified
name of a known host object. A host object MUST be known to the
server before a server attribute can be added or removed from a domain
object. The EPP mapping for host objects is described in [EPP-H].
- Zero or more <domain:contact> elements that contain the identifiers
for contact objects to be associated with or removed from the domain
object. Contact object identifiers MUST be known to the server before
the contact object can be associated with the domain object.
- Zero or more (up to a maximum of eight) <domain:status> elements
that contain status values to be applied to or removed from the domain
object. See the "Object Attributes" section for a list of valid
status attribute values. When specifying a value to be removed, only
the attribute value is significant; text is not required to match a
value for removal.
A <domain:chg> element SHALL contain the following child elements:
- A <domain:registrant> element that contains the identifier for the
human or organizational social information (contact) object to be
associated with the domain object as the object registrant. This
object identifier MUST be known to the server before the contact
object can be associated with the domain object.

5. Internationalization Considerations
EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
information using the double-byte Unicode character set and its more
compact representations including UTF-8. Compliant XML processors are
required to understand both UTF-8 and raw Unicode character sets; XML
also includes a provision for identifying other character sets through
use of an "encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> processing instruction.
The complete list of character set encoding identifiers is maintained
by IANA and is described in [CHARSET] and [RFC1700].
All date-time values presented via EPP MUST be expressed in Universal
Coordinated Time. The XML Schema "date" format allows use of time
zone identifiers to indicate offsets from the zero meridian, but this
option MUST NOT be used within EPP. Both extended and truncated date
and time forms defined in [ISO8601] MAY be used.
This document requires domain and host name syntax as specified in
[RFC952] as updated by [RFC1123]. These conformance requirements MAY
change as a result of progressing work in developing standards for
internationalized domain names.
6. IANA Considerations
XML schemas require a URI for unique identification. Schemas MUST be
registered to ensure URI uniqueness, but the IETF does not currently
have a recommended repository for the registration of XML schemas.
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to a registry mechanism described in [IANA-XML].
IANA SHOULD maintain a registry of XML namespace and schema URI
assignments. Per policies described in [IANA], URI assignment
requests SHOULD be reviewed by a designated expert, and values SHOULD
be assigned only as a result of standards action taken by the IESG.
This document requests assignment of the following URIs:
urn:iana:xml:ns:domain: The XML namespace URI for this EPP domain
mapping.
urn:iana:xml:xmlschema:domain: The XML Schema URI for this EPP domain
mapping.
7. Security Considerations
The object mapping described in this document does not provide any
security services beyond those specified by [EPP] and protocol layers
used by EPP.
