Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) B. Wu, Ed. Request for Comments: 9105 G. Zheng Category: Standards Track M. Wang, Ed. ISSN: 2070-1721 Huawei August 2021 A YANG Data Model for Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) Abstract This document defines a Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) client YANG module that augments the System Management data model, defined in RFC 7317, to allow devices to make use of TACACS+ servers for centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). Though being a standard module, this module does not endorse the security mechanisms of the TACACS+ protocol (RFC 8907), and TACACS+ MUST be used within a secure deployment. The YANG module in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Introduction This document defines a YANG module that augments the System Management data model defined in [RFC7317] to support the configuration and management of TACACS+ clients. TACACS+ [RFC8907] provides device administration for routers, network access servers, and other networked devices via one or more centralized servers. The System Management data model [RFC7317] defines separate functionality to support local and RADIUS authentication: User Authentication Model: Defines a list of usernames with associated passwords and a configuration leaf to decide the order in which local or RADIUS authentication is used. RADIUS Client Model: Defines a list of RADIUS servers used by a device for centralized user authentication. The System Management data model is augmented with the TACACS+ YANG module defined in this document to allow the use of TACACS+ servers as an alternative to RADIUS servers. The YANG module can be used with network management protocols such as the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241]. The YANG module in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342]. 2. Conventions Used in This Document 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. The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are used in this specification: * configuration data * state data The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this specification: * augment * data model * data node The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950]. 2.1. Tree Diagrams The tree diagram used in this document follows the notation defined in [RFC8340]. 3. Design of the TACACS+ Data Model This module is used to configure a TACACS+ client on a device to support deployment scenarios with centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting servers. Authentication is used to validate a user's username and password, authorization allows the user to access and execute commands at various privilege levels assigned to the user, and accounting keeps track of the activity of a user who has accessed the device. The ietf-system-tacacs-plus module augments the "/sys:system" path defined in the ietf-system module with the contents of the "tacacs- plus" grouping. Therefore, a device can use local, RADIUS, or TACACS+ authentication to validate users who attempt to access the router by several mechanisms, e.g., a command line interface or a web-based user interface. The "server" list, which is directly under the "tacacs-plus" container, holds a list of TACACS+ servers and uses server-type to distinguish between Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) services. The list of servers is for redundancy. Most of the parameters in the "server" list are taken directly from the TACACS+ protocol [RFC8907], and some are derived from the various implementations by network equipment manufacturers. For example, when there are multiple interfaces connected to the TACACS+ client or server, the source address of outgoing TACACS+ packets could be specified, or the source address could be specified through the interface IP address setting or derived from the outbound interface from the local Forwarding Information Base (FIB). For the TACACS+ server located in a Virtual Private Network (VPN), a VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance needs to be specified. The "statistics" container under the "server list" is a collection of read-only counters for sent and received messages from a configured server. The YANG module for TACACS+ client has the following structure: module: ietf-system-tacacs-plus augment /sys:system: +--rw tacacs-plus +--rw server* [name] +--rw name string +--rw server-type tacacs-plus-server-type +--rw address inet:host +--rw port? inet:port-number +--rw (security) | +--:(obfuscation) | +--rw shared-secret? string +--rw (source-type)? | +--:(source-ip) | | +--rw source-ip? inet:ip-address | +--:(source-interface) | +--rw source-interface? if:interface-ref +--rw vrf-instance? | -> /ni:network-instances/network-instance/name +--rw single-connection? boolean +--rw timeout? uint16 +--ro statistics +--ro connection-opens? yang:counter64 +--ro connection-closes? yang:counter64 +--ro connection-aborts? yang:counter64 +--ro connection-failures? yang:counter64 +--ro connection-timeouts? yang:counter64 +--ro messages-sent? yang:counter64 +--ro messages-received? yang:counter64 +--ro errors-received? yang:counter64 +--ro sessions? yang:counter64 4. TACACS+ Client Module This YANG module imports typedefs from [RFC6991]. This module also uses the interface typedef from [RFC8343], the leafref to VRF instance from [RFC8529], and the "default-deny-all" extension statement from [RFC8341].

Security Considerations The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446]. The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF 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: /system/tacacs-plus/server: This list contains the data nodes used to control the TACACS+ servers used by the device. Unauthorized access to this list could enable an attacker to assume complete control over the device by pointing to a compromised TACACS+ server, or to modify the counters to hide attacks against the device. /system/tacacs-plus/server/shared-secret: This leaf controls the key known to both the TACACS+ client and server. Unauthorized access to this leaf could make the device vulnerable to attacks; therefore, it has been restricted using the "default-deny-all" access control defined in [RFC8341]. When setting, it is highly recommended that the leaf is at least 32 characters long and sufficiently complex with a mix of different character types, i.e., upper case, lower case, numeric, and punctuation. This document describes the use of TACACS+ for purposes of authentication, authorization, and accounting; it is vulnerable to all of the threats that are present in TACACS+ applications. For a discussion of such threats, see Section 10 of the TACACS+ protocol [RFC8907]. 6.
