Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. It is becoming unavoidable to support Dynamic Authorization extensions to send the Disconnect and CoA requests to the NAS devices as described in [RFC3576] . As a result, the effective management of RADIUS Dynamic Authorization entities is of considerable importance. It complements the managed objects used for managing RADIUS authentication and accounting servers as described in [RFC2619] and [RFC2621], respectively. De Cnodder, et al. Expires May 25, 2005 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Dynamic Authorization Client MIB November 2004 3. The Internet-Standard Management Framework For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of [RFC3410]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC2580 [RFC2580]. De Cnodder, et al. Expires May 25, 2005 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Dynamic Authorization Client MIB November 2004 4. Terminology Dynamic Authorization Server (DAS) The component that resides on the NAS which processes the Disconnect and CoA requests sent by the Dynamic Authorization Client as described in [RFC3576]. Dynamic Authorization Client (DAC) The component which sends the Disconnect and CoA requests to the Dynamic Authorization Server as described in [RFC3576]. Dynamic Authorization Server Port The UDP port on which the Dynamic Authorization server listens for the Disconnect and CoA requests sent by the Dynamic Authorization Client. De Cnodder, et al. Expires May 25, 2005 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Dynamic Authorization Client MIB November 2004 5. Overview The RADIUS dynamic authorization extensions defined in [RFC3576], distinguishes between the client function and the server function. In RADIUS dynamic authorization, clients send Disconnect-Requests and CoA-Requests, and servers reply with Disconnect-Acks, CoA-Acks, and CoA-NAKs. Typically NAS devices implement the DAS function, and thus would be expected to implement the RADIUS dynamic authorization server MIB, while DACs implement the client function, and thus would be expected to implement the RADIUS dynamic authorization client MIB. However, it is possible for a RADIUS dynamic authorization entity to perform both client and server functions. For example, a RADIUS proxy may act as a DAS to one or more DACs, while simultaneously acting as a DAC to one or more DASs. In such situations, it is expected that RADIUS entities combining client and server functionality will support both the client and server MIBs. This memo describes the MIB for dynamic authorization clients and relates to the following document as follows: [RFC2618] describes the MIB for a RADIUS authentication client. [RFC2619] describes the MIB for a RADIUS authentication server. [RFC2620] describes the MIB for a RADIUS accounting client. [RFC2621] describes the MIB for a RADIUS accounting server. [DYNSERV] describes the MIB for a RADIUS dynamic authorization server. +---------------+ +---------------+ User 1----| | Disconnect-Request | | | Dynamic | CoA-Request | Dynamic | user 2----| Authorization |<---------------------| Authorization | | Server |--------------------->| Client | User 3----| (DAS) | Disconnect-Ack | (DAC) | | | Disconnect-NAK | | +---------------+ CoA-Ack/CoA-NAK +---------------+ Figure 1: Mapping of clients and servers.

Security Considerations There are no management objects defined in this MIB module that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. So, if this MIB module is implemented correctly, then there is no risk that an intruder can alter or create any management objects of this MIB module via direct SNMP SET operations Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: radiusDynAuthServerAddress and radiusDynAuthServerAddressType This can be used to determine the address of the DAS with which the DAC is communicating. This information could be useful in mounting an attack on the DAS. radiusDynAuthServerID This can be used to determine the Identifier of the DAS. This information could be useful in impersonating the DAS. radiusDynAuthServerClientPortNumber This can be used to determine the port number on which the DAC is sending. This information could be useful in mounting an attack on the DAS. The other readable objects are not really considered as being sensitive or vulnerable. These objects are: De Cnodder, et al.

SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
