RFC 4673 RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Server MIB September 2006
1. 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 increasingly important to support Dynamic Authorization extensions on the network access server (NAS) devices to handle the Disconnect and Change-of-Authorization (CoA) messages as described in [RFC3576]. As a result, the effective management of RADIUS Dynamic Authorization entities is of considerable importance. This RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Server (DAS) MIB complements the managed objects used for managing RADIUS authentication and accounting clients as described in [RFC4668] and [RFC4670], respectively.
1.1. Requirements Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
1.2. Terminology
Dynamic Authorization Server (DAS)
The component that resides on the NAS that processes the Disconnect and Change-of-Authorization (CoA) Request packets [RFC3576] sent by the Dynamic Authorization Client.
Dynamic Authorization Client (DAC)
The component that sends Disconnect and CoA-Request packets to the Dynamic Authorization Server. Although this component often resides on the RADIUS server, it is also possible for it to be located on a separate host, such as a Rating Engine.
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.
2. 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, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579], and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].

RFC 4673 RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Server MIB September 2006
3. Overview
"Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS" [RFC3576] defines the operation of Disconnect-Request, Disconnect-ACK, Disconnect-NAK, CoA-Request, CoA-ACK, and CoA-NAK packets. Typically, NAS devices implement the DAS function, and thus would be expected to implement the RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Server MIB, whereas 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 Servers and relates to the following documents as follows:
[RFC4668] describes the MIB for a RADIUS Auth Client MIB.
[RFC4669] describes the MIB for a RADIUS Auth Server MIB.
[RFC4670] describes the MIB for a RADIUS Acct Client MIB.
[RFC4671] describes the MIB for a RADIUS Acct Server MIB.
[RFC4672] describes the MIB for a RADIUS Dynamic Auth Client.
A NAS typically implements the MIBs for a RADIUS Authentication Client, a RADIUS accounting client, and a RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Server. However, any one MIB can be implemented without implementing any of the other MIBs; i.e., the MIBs have no dependencies on each other. A typical case would be for a device to implement the MIBs RADIUS authentication server, RADIUS accounting server, and RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Client. A RADIUS proxy might implement any, all, or a subset of the MIBs listed above and the MIB as defined in this document.

5. 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:
radiusDynAuthClientAddress and radiusDynAuthClientAddressType
These can be used to determine the address of the DAC with which the DAS is communicating. This information could be useful in mounting an attack on the DAC.
radiusDynAuthServerIdentifier
This can be used to determine the Identifier of the DAS. This information could be useful in impersonating the DAS.
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.
