Internet-Draft              EPP Host Mapping               June 29, 2001


1. Introduction

  This document describes an Internet host 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.

  This document assumes that host name objects have a subordinate
  relationship to a superordinate domain name object.  For example, host
  name "ns1.example.com" has a subordinate relationship to domain name
  "example.com".  EPP actions (such as object transfers) that do not
  preserve this relationship MUST be explicitly disallowed.

  XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
  and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
  character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

  This document is being discussed on the "ietf-provreg" mailing list.
  To join the list, send a message to <majordomo@cafax.se> with the
  words "subscribe ietf-provreg" in the body of the message.  There is a
  web site for the list archives at http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg.

2. Object Attributes

  An EPP host 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 Host Names

  The syntax for 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 host names.

2.2 Client Identifiers

  All EPP clients are identified by a server-unique identifier.  Client
  identifiers conform to the "clIDType" syntax described in [EPP].

2.3 Status Values

  A host object MUST always have at least one associated status value.
  Status values MAY be set only by the client that sponsors a host
  object and by the server on which the object resides. A client MAY
  change the status of a host 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 applied to the
  object.

  A client MUST NOT alter status values set by the server.  A server MAY
  alter or override status values set by a client subject to local
  server policies.

  Status values that may be added or removed by a client are prefixed
  with "client".  Corresponding status values that may be added or
  removed by a server are prefixed with "server".  Status values that do
  not begin with either "client" or "server" are server-managed.

  Status Value Descriptions:

  clientDeleteProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited

  Requests to delete the object MUST be rejected.

  clientUpdateProhibited, serverUpdateProhibited

  Requests to update the object (other than to remove this status) MUST
  be rejected.

  linked

  The host object has at least one active association with another
  object, such as a domain object.  Servers SHOULD provide services to
  determine existing object associations.

  ok

  This is the nominal status value for an object that has no pending
  operations or prohibitions.

  pendingDelete

  A delete request has been received for the object, but the object has
  not yet been purged from the server database.

  pendingTransfer

  A transfer request has been received for the host object's
  superordinate domain object, and completion of the request is pending.

  "ok" status MAY only be combined with "linked" status.  "linked"
  status MAY be combined with any status.  "pendingDelete" status MUST
  NOT be combined with either "clientDeleteProhibited" or
  "serverDeleteProhibited" status.  All other status value combinations
  are valid.

2.4 Dates and Times

  Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
  Coordinated Time (UTC) using the Gregorian calendar. 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.

2.5 IP Addresses

  The syntax for IPv4 addresses described in this document MUST conform
  to [RFC791].  The syntax for IPv6 addresses described in this document
  MUST conform to [RFC1884].  Practical considerations for publishing
  IPv6 address information in zone files is documented in [RFC1886] and
  [RFC2874].  A server MAY reject IP addresses that have not been
  allocated for public use by IANA.

Internet-Draft              EPP Host Mapping               June 29, 2001


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 host names via EPP.

3.1 EPP Query Commands

  EPP provides two commands to retrieve host information: <check> to
  determine if a host object is known to the server, and <info> to
  retrieve detailed information associated with a host object.

3.1.1 EPP <check> Command

  The EPP <check> command is used to determine if a host object is known
  to the server.  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
  <check> command MUST contain a <host:check> element that identifies
  the host namespace and the location of the host schema.  The
  <host:check> element contains the following child elements:

  - One or more <host:name> elements that contain the fully qualified
  names of the host objects to be queried.

  Example <check> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  C:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  C:  <command>
  C:    <check>
  C:      <host:check xmlns:host="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0"
  C:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
  C:        <host:name>ns1.example.com</host:name>
  C:        <host:name>ns2.example.com</host:name>
  C:        <host:name>ns3.example.com</host:name>
  C:      </host: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 <host:chkData> element that
  identifies the host namespace and the location of the host schema.
  The <host:chkData> element contains the following child elements:

Internet-Draft              EPP Host Mapping               June 29, 2001


  - One or more <host:cd> elements that contain the fully qualified
  names for the queried host 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" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  S:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  S:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  S:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  S:  <response>
  S:    <result code="1000">
  S:      <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
  S:    </result>
  S:    <resData>
  S:      <host:chkData xmlns:host="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0"
  S:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
  S:        <host:cd x="+">ns1.example.com</host:cd>
  S:        <host:cd x="-">ns2.example.com</host:cd>
  S:        <host:cd x="+">ns3.example.com</host:cd>
  S:      </host: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 host object.  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
  <info> command MUST contain a <host:info> element that identifies the
  host namespace and the location of the host schema.  The <host:info>
  element contains the following child elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object for which information is requested.

  Example <info> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  C:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  C:  <command>
  C:    <info>
  C:      <host:info xmlns:host="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0"
  C:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
  C:        <host:name>ns1.example.com</host:name>
  C:      </host: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 <host:infData> element that
  identifies the host namespace and the location of the host schema.
  The <host:infData> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object to be queried.

  - A <host:roid> element that contains the Repository Object IDentifier
  assigned to the host object when the object was created.

  - One or more <host:status> elements that describe the status of the
  host object.

  - Zero or more <host:addr> elements that contain the IP addresses
  associated with the host object.

  - A <host:clID> element that contains the identifier of the sponsoring
  client.

  - A <host:crID> element that contains the identifier of the client
  that created the host object.

  - A <host:crDate> element that contains the date and time of host
  object creation.

  - A <host:upID> element that contains the identifier of the client
  that last updated the host object.  This element MUST NOT be present
  if the host object has never been modified.

  - A <host:upDate> element that contains the date and time of the most
  recent host object modification.  This element MUST NOT be present if
  the host object has never been modified.

  - A <host:trDate> element that contains the date and time of the most
  recent successful host object transfer.  This element MUST NOT be
  provided if the host object has never been transferred.  Note that
  host objects MUST NOT be transferred directly; host objects MUST be
  transferred implicitly when the host object's superordinate domain
  object is transferred.  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.

  Example <info> response:

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if an <info> command can not be
  processed for any reason.

3.1.3 EPP <transfer> Command

  Transfer semantics do not directly apply to host objects, so there is
  no mapping defined for the EPP <transfer> query command.

3.2 EPP Transform Commands

  EPP provides three commands to transform host objects: <create> to
  create an instance of a host object, <delete> to delete an instance of
  a host object, and <update> to change information associated with a
  host object.  This document does not define host object mappings for
  the EPP <renew> and <transfer> commands.

3.2.1 EPP <create> Command

  The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to create a host object.  In addition to the standard EPP
  command elements, the <create> command MUST contain a <host:create>
  element that identifies the host namespace and the location of the
  host schema.  The <host:create> element contains the following child
  elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object to be created.

  - Zero or more <host:addr> elements that contain the IP addresses to
  be associated with the host.  Each element MAY contain an "ip"
  attribute to identify the IP address format.  Attribute value "v4" is
  used to note IPv4 address format.  Attribute value "v6" is used to
  note IPv6 address format.  If the "ip" attribute is not specified,
  "v4" is the default attribute value.

  If the host name exists in a TLD for which the server is not
  authoritative, then IP addresses MUST NOT be provided for the host.
  For example, if the server is authoritative for the ".com" TLD and the
  name of the server is "ns1.example.com.au", then IP addresses MUST NOT
  be provided.  If the host name exists in a TLD for which the server is
  authoritative, then the superordinate domain of the host MUST be known
  to the server before the host object can be created.

  When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain a child <host:creData> element that
  identifies the host namespace and the location of the host schema.
  The <host:creData> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <create> command can not
  be processed for any reason.

3.2.2 EPP <delete> Command

  The EPP <delete> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to delete a host object.  In addition to the standard EPP
  command elements, the <delete> command MUST contain a <host:delete>
  element that identifies the host namespace and the location of the
  host schema.  The <host:delete> element contains the following child
  elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object to be deleted.

  A host name object MUST NOT be deleted if the host object is
  associated with any other object.  For example, if the host object is
  associated with a domain object, the host object MUST NOT be deleted
  until the existing association has been broken.

  Example <delete> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  C:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  C:  <command>
  C:    <delete>
  C:      <host:delete xmlns:host="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0"
  C:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
  C:        <host:name>ns1.example.com</host:name>
  C:      </host:delete>
  C:    </delete>
  C:    <unspec/>
  C:    <clTRID>ABC-12346</clTRID>
  C:  </command>
  C:</epp>

  When a <delete> command has been processed successfully, a server MUST
  respond with an EPP response with no <resData> element.

  Example <delete> response:

  S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  S:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  S:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  S:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  S:  <response>
  S:    <result code="1000">
  S:      <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
  S:    </result>
  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 <delete> command can not
  be processed for any reason.

3.2.3 EPP <renew> Command

  Renewal semantics do not apply to host objects, so there is no mapping
  defined for the EPP <renew> command.

3.2.4 EPP <transfer> Command

  Transfer semantics do not directly apply to host objects, so there is
  no mapping defined for the EPP <transfer> command.  Host objects are
  subordinate to an existing superordinate domain object, and as such
  they are subject to transfer when a domain object is transferred.

3.2.5 EPP <update> Command

  The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to modify the attributes of a host object.  In addition to the
  standard EPP command elements, the <update> command MUST contain a
  <host:update> element that identifies the host namespace and the
  location of the host schema. The <host:update> element contains the
  following child elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of the
  host object to be updated.

  - An OPTIONAL <host:add> element that contains attribute values to be
  added to the object.

  - An OPTIONAL <host:rem> element that contains attribute values to be
  removed from the object.

  - An OPTIONAL <host:chg> element that contains object attribute values
  to be changed.

  At least one <host:add>, <host:rem>, or <host:chg> element MUST be
  provided.  The <host:add> and <host:rem> elements contain the
  following child elements:

  - One or more <host:addr> elements that contain IP addresses to be
  associated with or removed from the host object.  IP address
  restrictions explained in the <create> command mapping apply here as
  well.

  - One or more <host:status> elements that contain status values to be
  associated with or removed from the object.  When specifying a value
  to be removed, only the attribute value is significant; element text
  is not required to match a value for removal.

  A <host:chg> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <host:name> element that contains a new fully qualified host name
  by which the host object will be known.

  Host name changes MAY require the addition or removal of IP addresses

  to be accepted by the server.  If a new host name exists in a TLD for
  which the server is not authoritative, then the host object MUST NOT
  have any associated IP addresses.  If a new host name exists in a TLD
  for which the server is authoritative, then the host object MAY have
  associated IP addresses.

  Host name changes MAY have an impact on associated objects that refer
  to the host object.  A host name change SHOULD not require additional
  updates of associated objects to preserve existing associations.

  Example <update> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:iana:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  C:        <host:name>ns1.example.com</host:name>
  C:        <host:add>
  C:          <host:addr ip="v4">192.1.2.3</host:addr>
  C:          <host:status s="clientUpdateProhibited"/>
  C:        </host:add>
  C:        <host:rem>
  C:          <host:addr ip="v6">1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A</host:addr>
  C:        </host:rem>
  C:        <host:chg>
  C:          <host:name>ns2.example.com</host:name>

5. Internationalization Considerations

  EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
  information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
  representations including UTF-8.  Compliant XML processors are
  REQUIRED to understand both UTF-8 and UTF-16.  Though XML includes
  provisions to identify other character set encodings through use of an
  "encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, EPP use with character
  sets other than UTF-8 is NOT RECOMMENDED.

  All date-time values presented via EPP MUST be expressed in Universal
  Coordinated Time using the Gregorian calendar.  XML Schema allows use
  of time zone identifiers to indicate offsets from the zero meridian,
  but this option MUST NOT be used with EPP.  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.

  This document requires 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 host 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.  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:host-1.0: The namespace URI for this EPP mapping.

  urn:iana:xml:schema:host-1.0: The schema URI for this EPP 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.
