Abstract

   This document defines two YANG modules, one module to configure a
   RESTCONF client and the other module to configure a RESTCONF server.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines two YANG [RFC7950] modules, one module to
   configure a RESTCONF client and the other module to configure a
   RESTCONF server [RFC8040].  Both modules support the TLS [RFC8446]
   transport protocol with both standard RESTCONF and RESTCONF Call Home
   connections [RFC8071].

1.1.  Terminology

   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.

2.  The RESTCONF Client Model

   The RESTCONF client model presented in this section supports both
   clients initiating connections to servers, as well as clients
   listening for connections from servers calling home.

   This model, like that presented in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-netconf-client-server], is designed to support any
   number of possible transports.  RESTCONF only supports the TLS
   transport currently, thus this model only supports the TLS transport.

   All private keys and trusted certificates are held in the keystore
   model defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

   YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
   advertise which parts of the model the RESTCONF client supports.

2.1.  Tree Diagram

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the data
   model for the "ietf-restconf-client" module.  Just the container is
   displayed below, but there is also a reusable grouping called
   "restconf-client-grouping" that the container is using.

2.2.  Example Usage

   The following example illustrates configuring a RESTCONF client to
   initiate connections, as well as listening for call-home connections.

   This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 3.2
   of [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

3.  The RESTCONF Server Model

   The RESTCONF server model presented in this section supports servers
   both listening for connections as well as initiating call-home
   connections.

   All private keys and trusted certificates are held in the keystore
   model defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

   YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
   advertise which parts of the model the RESTCONF server supports.

3.1.  Tree Diagram

   The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the data
   model for the "ietf-restconf-server" module.  Just the container is
   displayed below, but there is also a reusable grouping called
   "restconf-server-grouping" that the container is using.

3.2.  Example Usage

   The following example illustrates configuring a RESTCONF server to
   listen for RESTCONF client connections, as well as configuring call-
   home to one RESTCONF client.

   This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 3.2
   of [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

4.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module defined in this document uses a grouping defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].  Please see the Security
   Considerations section in that document for concerns related that
   grouping.

   The YANG module defined in this document is 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 NETCONF 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.

   There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are
   writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
   default).  These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
   in some network environments.  Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
   to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
   effect on network operations.  These are the subtrees and data nodes
   and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

      /: The entire data trees defined by the modules defined in this
         draft are sensitive to write operations.  For instance, the
         addition or removal of references to keys, certificates,
         trusted anchors, etc., can dramatically alter the implemented
         security policy.  However, no NACM annotations are applied as
         the data SHOULD be editable by users other than a designated
         'recovery session'.

   Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
   notification) to these data nodes.  These are the subtrees and data
   nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

      NONE

   Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus
   important to control access to these operations.  These are the
   operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

      NONE

5.  IANA Considerations

5.1.  The IETF XML Registry

   This document registers two URIs in the "ns" subregistry of the IETF
   XML Registry [RFC3688].  Following the format in [RFC3688], the
   following registrations are requested:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf-client
      Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
      XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf-server
      Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
      XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

5.2.  The YANG Module Names Registry

   This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
   registry [RFC6020].  Following the format in [RFC6020], the the
   following registrations are requested:

      name:         ietf-restconf-client
      namespace:    urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf-client
      prefix:       ncc
