  1.      Introduction
     This specification defines the naming syntax, object classes,
     attributes, matching filters, and query processing rules for
     storing and locating DNS domain names in the FIRS service. Refer
     to [FIRS-ARCH] for information on the FIRS architecture and
     [FIRS-CORE] for the schema definitions and rules which govern the
     FIRS service as a whole.
  
     Note that these rules and definitions only apply to domain name
     resources, and do not apply to domainComponent entries or any
     other domain name elements, unless explicity defined. Also note
     that this specification governs reverse-lookup DNS domains for
     IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks, but that these entries are entirely
     different from the entries which govern the actual IPv4 and IPv6
     address blocks themselves.
  
     The definitions in this specification are intended to be used with
     FIRS. Their usage outside of FIRS is not prohibited, but any such
     usage is beyond this specification's scope of authority.
  
  2.      Prerequisites and Terminology
     The complete set of specifications in the FIRS collection
     cumulative define a structured and distributed information service

     using LDAPv3 for the data-formatting and transport functions. This
     specification should be read in the context of the complete set of
     specifications, which currently include the following:

  3.      Naming Syntax
     The naming syntax for DNS domains in FIRS MUST follow the form of
     "cn=<inetDnsDomainSyntax>,cn=inetResources,<partition>", where
     <inetDnsDomainSyntax > is the DNS domain name resource, and where
     <partition> is a sequence of domainComponent relative

     distinguished names which identifies the scope of authority for
     the selected directory partition.
  
     The inetDnsDomainSyntax is relatively unstructured, in that it
     uses standardized procedures to produce heavily-normalized DNS
     domain names rather than using structured syntax rules. The
     principle reason for this is due to conflicting syntax rules in
     different canonical domain name rules, with these rules preventing
     the use of a common syntax.
  
     The normalization procedure produces UTF-8 domain names as output,
     with these domain names being suitable for direct comparisons,
     substring searches, and other lightweight comparisons. Servers
     tend to be more heavily-loaded than clients, and requiring the
     data to be normalized before it is used for comparison operations
     ensures that a broader range of comparison operations can be
     performed with minimal impact on those servers.
  
     This normalization procedure is as follows:
  
        a.  Any valid domain name MUST be accepted by FIRS-aware
            applications. This specifically includes ASCII characters
            outside of the traditional "hostname" subset, and also
            includes non-printable eight-bit code-point values such as
            Space, any of which are allowed by the domain name rules
            specified in STD 13 [STD13] and RFC 2181 [RFC2181].
  
            These code-point values MUST be escaped into an ASCII-safe
            form before they are stored and before they are used to
            seed assertion values. [STD13] and [RFC2253] both use a
            Reverse Solidus (Backslash) character followed by a three-
            digit decimal number to represent the code-point value, and
            this specification also requires FIRS implementations to
            use this process for all code-point values which need to be
            escaped. For example, "weird name.example.com" (where
            "weird name" is a valid domain name label with an embedded
            Space) MUST be stored as "weird\032name.example.com" in the
            directory, and query input MUST use this sequence as the
            basis of any resulting assertion value.
  
        b.  Domain names which explicitly specify the root domain MUST
            use a single Full-Stop (".") character. Other domain names
            MUST NOT have a trailing Full-Stop character, and any such
            character MUST be stripped.

        c.  In order to ensure that internationalized domain names are
            properly normalized and validated, all domain names MUST
            also undergo a round-trip conversion process using the
            mechanisms and rules specified in RFC 3490 [RFC3490].
  
            1.   The first step in this process is to perform the
                 "ToASCII" conversion operation specified in [RFC3490],
                 with the "UseSTD3ASCIIRules" flag disabled. This step
                 will reduce the input domain name to its canonical
                 ASCII-compatible form, thus ensuring that the input
                 data can be properly normalized.
  
            2.   The second step in this process is to perform the
                 "ToUnicode" conversion operation specified in
                 [RFC3490], with the "UseSTD3ASCIIRules" flag disabled.
                 This step will convert the ASCII-compatible sequence
                 into a sequence of Unicode code-point values.
  
            3.   The Unicode code-point values returned in step 3.c.2
                 MUST be converted to UTF-8 before the domain name is
                 stored or transferred.
  
     Once all of these steps have successfully completed, the domain
     name can be stored in the directory or used as an assertion value.
     Any fatal error conditions encountered during these conversions
     MUST result in a local failure; FIRS-aware applications MUST NOT
     store or transmit non-normalized domain names for any purposes.
  
     The inetDnsDomainSyntax syntax is as follows:
  
          inetDnsDomainSyntax
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.1 NAME 'inetDnsDomainSyntax' DESC 'A
            fully-qualified DNS domain name.' )
  
     Note that the entry name of "cn=." encompasses the entire DNS
     domain namespace.
  
     Note that any Reverse Solidus characters in the domain name will
     be further escaped when these sequences are transferred in LDAP
     messages. For example, "weird\032name.example.com" will be further
     escaped as "weird\\032name.example.com" when it is passed in an
     LDAP message (this secondary escape will be stripped upon receipt,
     leaving the escaped domain name in its original form).

  Internet Draft     draft-ietf-crisp-firs-dns-00.txt          May 2003
  
  
     Also note that the use of Reverse Solidus characters is frequently
     illegal as data in URLs, and these characters will probably be
     escaped before they are stored in a URL as data.
  
  4.      Object Classes and Attributes
     DNS domain name entries in FIRS MUST use the inetDnsDomain object
     class, in addition to the mandatory object classes defined in
     [FIRS-CORE]. DNS domain name entries MUST be treated as containers
     capable of holding subordinate entries. If an entry exists as a
     referral source, the entry MUST also be defined with the referral
     object class, in addition to the above requirements.
  
     The inetDnsDomain object class is a structural object class which
     is subordinate to the inetResources object class. The
     inetDnsDomain object class has no mandatory attributes, although
     it does have several optional attributes. The inetDnsDomain object
     class also inherits the attributes defined in the inetResources
     object class, including the "cn" naming attribute.
  
     The schema definition for the inetDnsDomain object class is as
     follows:
  
          inetDnsDomain
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.0 NAME 'inetDnsDomain' DESC 'DNS
            domain attributes.' SUP inetResources STRUCTURAL MAY (
            inetDnsDelegationStatus $ inetDnsDelegationDate $
            inetDnsRegistrar $ inetDnsRegistry $ inetDnsContacts $
            inetDnsAuthServers ) )
  
     The attributes from the inetDnsDomain object class are described
     below:
  
          inetDnsAuthServers
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.2 NAME 'inetDnsAuthServers' DESC
            'Authoritative DNS servers for this domain.' EQUALITY
            caseExactMatch SYNTAX inetDnsDomainSyntax )
  
            The inetDnsAuthServers attribute provides a listing of the
            authoritative DNS servers associated with the domain name
            (assuming that that the domain name refers to a zone). The
            attribute is defined as multi-valued, with each attribute
            identifying the domain name of an authoritative nameserver.

            NOTE: In an effort to facilitate internationalization and
            programmatic processing, the current status of a delegation
            is identified by a 16-bit integer. The values and status
            mapping is as follows:
  
                 0   Reserved delegation (permanently inactive)
                 1   Assigned and active (normal state)
                 2   Assigned but not yet active (new delegation)
                 3   Assigned but on hold (disputed)
                 4   Assignment revoked (database purge pending)
  
            Additional values are reserved for future use, and are to
            be administered by IANA.
  
            Note that there is no status code for "unassigned";
            unassigned entries SHOULD NOT exist, and SHOULD NOT be
            returned as answers.
  
          inetDnsRegistrar

            NOTE: The inetIpv4Registrar attribute uses a URL to
            indicate the registrar who delegated the domain name. The
            attribute structure is identical to the labeledURI
            attribute, as defined in [RFC2798], including the URL and
            textual comments. The data can refer to any valid URL.

            NOTE: The inetIpv4Registry attribute uses a URL to indicate
            the registry who is ultimately responsible for the domain
            name. The attribute structure is identical to the
            labeledURI attribute, as defined in [RFC2798], including
            the URL and textual comments. The data can refer to any
            valid URL.

  5.      Query Processing Rules
     Queries for DNS domain names have several special requirements, as
     discussed in the following sections.
  
     Refer to [FIRS-CORE] for general information about FIRS queries.
  
  
  Hall                  I-D Expires: December 2003             [page 8]


  Internet Draft     draft-ietf-crisp-firs-dns-00.txt          May 2003
  
  
  5.1.    Query Pre-Processing
     Clients MUST ensure that the query input is normalized according
     to the rules specified in section 3 before the input is used as
     the assertion value to the resulting LDAP query.
  
     The authoritative partition for a DNS domain name is determined by
     mapping the normalized domain name to a sequence of
     domainComponent labels.
  
     Since the domainComponent attribute is restricted to seven-bit
     characters, the normalized DNS domain name MUST be converted to
     its IDNA form using the "ToASCII" conversion operation specified
     in [RFC3490], with the "UseSTD3ASCIIRules" flag disabled (FIRS
     applications MAY reuse the output from the conversion performed in
     step 3.c.1 if the entire conversion process is known to have
     completed successfully). The resulting sequence of ASCII labels
     are used to form the domainComponent sequence which represents the
     authoritative partition for the DNS domain name.
  
     As a simple example, "www.example.com" would be mapped to the
     "dc=www,dc=example,dc=com" authoritative partition, with this
     partition being used to seed the query process. As a slightly more
     complex example, the domain name of "weird name.example.com" would
     be mapped to "dc=weird\032name,dc=example,dc=com".
  
  5.2.    Query Bootstrapping
     FIRS clients MUST use the top-down bootstrap model by default for
     DNS domain name queries. As such, the search base for default
     queries would be set to the right-most domainComponent relative
     distinguished name of the authoritative partition, rather than
     being set to the fully-qualified distinguished name of the
     authoritative partition.
  
     FIRS clients MAY use the targeted or bottom-up bootstrap models
     for queries if necessary or desirable. However, it is not likely
     that entries will be found for all DNS domain name resources using
     these models. As such, the top-down bootstrap model will be the
     most useful in most cases, and MUST be used by default.
  
  5.3.    LDAP Matching
     FIRS clients MUST use the inetDnsDomainMatch extensible matching
     filter in LDAP searches for DNS domain name entries.
  
  Hall                  I-D Expires: December 2003             [page 9]


  Internet Draft     draft-ietf-crisp-firs-dns-00.txt          May 2003
  
  
  
     The inetDnsDomainMatch filter provides an identifier and search
     string format which collectively inform a queried server that a
     specific DNS domain name should be searched for, and that any
     matching inetDnsDomain object class entries should be returned.
  
     The inetDnsDomainMatch extensibleMatch filter is defined as
     follows:
  
          inetDnsDomainMatch
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.8 NAME 'inetDnsDomainMatch' SYNTAX
            inetDnsDomainSyntax )
  
     The assertion value MUST be a normalized DNS domain name, using
     the inetDnsDomainSyntax syntax rules defined in section 3.
  
     A FIRS server MUST compare the assertion value against the RDN of
     all entries in the inetResources container of the partition
     specified in the search base which have an object class of
     inetDnsDomain. Any entry with an object class of inetDnsDomain and
     with a relative distinguished name which is in the delegation path
     to the DNS domain name provided in the input string MUST be
     returned to the client. Entries which are not in the delegation
     path of the queried domain name MUST NOT be returned. Entries
     which do not have an object class of inetDnsDomain MUST NOT be
     returned.
  
     In order to ensure that all of the relevant entries are found
     (including any referrals), the search filters for these resources
     MUST specify the inetDnsDomain object class along with the search
     criteria. For example, "(&(objectclass=inetDnsDomain)
     (1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.8:=example.com))" with a search base of
     "cn=inetResources,dc=netsol,dc=com" would find all of the
     inetDnsDomain object class entries in the delegation path to the
     "example.com" domain in the "dc=netsol,dc=com" partition.
  
     Domain names MUST be compared on label boundaries, and MUST NOT be
     compared through simple character matching. Given two entries of
     "cn=example.com" and "cn=an-example.com", only the first would
     match an assertion value of "example.com".
  
     Note that the entry name of "cn=." encompasses the entire DNS
     domain namespace. When used in conjunction with referrals, this
     entry MAY be used to redirect all inetDnsDomainMatch queries to
     another partition for subsequent processing.

     The matching filters defined in this specification MUST be
     supported by FIRS clients and servers. FIRS servers MAY support
     additional sub-string filters, soundex filters, or any other
     filters they wish (these may be required to support generic LDAP
     clients), although FIRS clients MUST NOT expect any additional
     filters to be available.
  
  5.4.    Example Query
     The following example assumes that the user has specified
     "www.example.com" as the query value:
  
        a.  Normalize the input, which is "www.example.com" in this
            case.
  
        b.  Determine the authoritative partition, which is
            "dc=www,dc=example,dc=com" in this case. By default,
            queries for DNS domain names use the top-down model,
            meaning that the right-most relative distinguished name of
            "dc=com" will be used.
  
        c.  Determine the search base for the query, which will be
            "cn=inetResources,dc=com" if the defaults are used.
  
        d.  Initiate a DNS lookup for the SRV resource records
            associated with "_ldap._tcp.com." For the purpose of this
            example, assume that this lookup succeeds, with the DNS
            response message indicating that "firs.iana.org" is the
            preferred LDAP server.
  
        e.  Submit an LDAPv3 query to the specified server, using
            "(&(objectclass=inetDnsDomain)
            (1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.8:=www.example.com))" as the matching
            filter, "cn=inetResources,dc=com" as the search base, and
            the global query defaults defined in [FIRS-CORE].
  
        f.  Assume that the queried server returns a continuation
            reference referral which points to
            "ldap://cn=inetResources,dc=netsol,dc=com". The
            distinguished name element of
            "cn=inetResources,dc=netsol,dc=com" will be used as the new
            search base, while "dc=netsol,dc=com" will be used as the
            new authoritative partition.
  
        g.  Initiate a DNS lookup for the SRV resource records
            associated with "_ldap._tcp.netsol.com." For the purpose of

            this example, assume that this lookup succeeds, with the
            DNS response message indicating that "firs.netsol.org" is
            the preferred LDAP server.
  
        h.  Submit an LDAPv3 query to the specified server, using
            "(&(objectclass=inetDnsDomain)
            (1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.1.8:=www.example.com))" as the matching
            filter, "cn=inetResources,dc=netsol,dc=com" as the search
            base, and the global query defaults defined in [FIRS-CORE].
  
        i.  Assume that no other referrals are received. Display the
            answer data which has been received and exit the query.
  
  6.      Security Considerations
     Security considerations are discussed in [FIRS-ARCH].
  
  7.      IANA Considerations
     This specification assumes the existence of partitions for each of
     the top-level domain names in the global DNS namespace, with the
     expectation that FIRS-capable LDAP servers will be established for
     each of these partitions, and with these partition containing
     domain delegation entries which will provide referrals to the
     appropriate registrar's partitions. It is expected that IANA will
     encourage top-level domain registry operators to oversee the
     creation and management of these resources.
  
     It is further expected that IANA will oversee the creation and
     management of the root domain's LDAP SRV resource records, the
     "dc=." LDAP partition, and the necessary LDAP servers.
  
     The inetDnsDelegationStatus attribute uses numeric code values. It
     is expected that IANA will manage the assignment of these values.
  
     Additional IANA considerations are discussed in [FIRS-ARCH].

  11.     Changes from Previous Versions
     draft-ietf-crisp-fir-dns-00:
  
        *   Restructured the document set.
  
        *   "Attribute references" have been eliminated from the
            specification. All referential attributes now provide
            actual data instead of URL pointers to data. Clients that
            wish to retrieve these values will need to start new
            queries using the data values instead of URLs.
  
        *   The various modified* operational attributes have been
            eliminated as unnecessary.
