         An HTTPS-based Transport for Configured Subscriptions
                   draft-ietf-netconf-https-notif-04

Abstract

   This document defines a YANG data module for configuring HTTPS based
   configured subscription, as defined in RFC 8639.  The use of HTTPS
   maximizes transport-level interoperability, while allowing for
   encoding selection from text, e.g.  XML or JSON, to binary.

1.  Introduction

   Subscription to YANG Notifications [RFC8639] defines a YANG data
   module for configuring subscribed notifications.  It defines a
   "subscriptions" container that contains a list of receivers, but it
   defers the configuration and management of those receivers to other
   documents.  This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] data
   modules, one for augmenting the Subscription to YANG Notifications
   [RFC8639] to add a transport type, and another for configuring and
   managing HTTPS based receivers for the notifications.

Internet-Draft        HTTPS Configured Subscription            July 2020

   The first module allows for different transports to be configured for
   the same receiver instance.  The second module describes how to
   enable the transmission of YANG modeled notifications, in the
   configured encoding (i.e., XML, JSON) over HTTPS.  Notifications are
   delivered in the form of a HTTPS POST.  The use of HTTPS maximizes
   transport-level interoperability, while the encoding selection pivots
   between implementation simplicity (XML, JSON) and throughput (text
   versus binary).

   Configured subscriptions enable a server, acting as a publisher of
   notifications, to proactively push notifications to external
   receivers without the receivers needing to first connect to the
   server, as is the case with dynamic subscriptions.

1.1.  Applicability Statement

   While the YANG modules have been defined as an augmentation of
   Subscription to YANG Notifications [RFC8639], the notification method
   defined in this document MAY be used outside of Subscription to YANG
   Notifications [RFC8639] by using some of the definitions from this
   module along with the grouping defined in Groupings for HTTP Clients
   and Servers [I-D.ietf-netconf-http-client-server].  For an example on
   how that can be done, see Section 8.2.

1.4.  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.

1.4.1.  Subscribed Notifications

   The following terms are defined in Subscription to YANG Notifications
   [RFC8639].

   o  Subscribed Notifications

1.5.  Receiver and Publisher Interaction

   The interaction between the receiver and the publisher can be of type
   "pipelining" or send multiple notifications as part of a "bundled-
   message", as defined in Notification Message Headers and Bundles
   [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages]

1.5.1.  Pipelining of messages

   In the case of "pipelining", the flow of messages would look
   something like this.  This example shows the flow assuming that
   Subscribed Notifications is used and therefore a <subscription-
   started> notification is sent before sending the first notification.
   The example would be the same for when Subscribed Notification is not
   used by removing the first POST message for <susbscription-started>.

2.  Learning Receiver Capabilities

2.1.  Introduction

   To learn the capabilities of the receiver, the publisher can issue a
   HTTPS GET request with Accept-Type set to application/ietf-https-
   notif-cap+xml or application/ietf-https-notif-cap+json, with latter
   as the mandatory to implement, and the default in case the type is
   not specified.  If the receiver supports capabilities such as binary
   encoding of data, it can return that as a capability in a response.
   Please note that, when used in conjunction with Subscription to YANG
   Notifications [RFC8639], dynamic discovery of the receiver's
   supported encoding is considered only when the
   "/subscriptions/subscription/encoding" leaf is not configured, per
   the "encoding" leaf's description statement.

2.2.  Example

   The publisher can send the following request to learn the receiver
   capabilities.  The Accept-Type states its preferred order for
   Content-Type that it wants to receive starting with XML, and if not
   supported, to use JSON encoding.  Currently, there is only one
   capability of binary encoding defined.

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept-Type: application/ietf-https-notif-cap+xml, application/ietf-https-notif-cap+json

   In case the receiver supports the first Accept-Type, its response
   should look like this:

   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 20:33:30 GMT
   Server: example-server
   Cache-Control: no-cache
   Content-Type: application/ietf-https-notif-cap+xml
   Content-Length: nnn

   <receiver-capabilities>
     <receiver-capability>
       <urn:ietf:params:https-config:capability:binary-encoding:1.0>
     </receiver-capability>
   </receiver-capabilities>

3.1.  Data Model Overview

   This YANG module augments ietf-subscribed-notifications module to
   define a choice of transport types that other modules such as the
   ietf-https-notif module can use to define a transport specific
   receiver.

4.  The "ietf-https-notif" Module

4.1.  Data Model Overview

   This YANG module is a definition of a set of receivers that are
   interested in the notifications published by the publisher.  The
   module contains the TCP, TLS and HTTPS parameters that are needed to
   communicate with the receiver.  The module augments the ietf-sub-
   notif-recv-list module to define a transport specific receiver.  As
   mentioned earlier, it uses POST method to deliver the notification.
   The attribute 'path' defines the path for the resource on the
   receiver, as defined by 'path-absolute' in URI Generic Syntax
   [RFC3986].  The user-id used by Network Configuration Access Control
   Model [RFC8341], is that of the receiver and is derived from the
   certificate presented by the receiver as part of 'receiver-identity'.

   An abridged tree diagram representing the module is shown below.

4.2.  YANG module

   The YANG module imports Common YANG Data Types [RFC6991], A YANG Data
   Model for SNMP Configuration [RFC7407], JSON Encoding of Data Modeled
   with YANG [RFC7951], and Subscription to YANG Notifications
   [RFC8639].

   The YANG module is shown below.

5.  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 NETCONF 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:

   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:

   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:

6.  Receiving Event Notifications

   Encoding notifications for the HTTPS notifications is the same as the
   encoding notifications as defined in RESTCONF [RFC8040] Section 6.4,
   with the following changes.  Instead of saying that for JSON-encoding
   purposes, the module name for "notification" element will be "ietf-
   restconf, it will say that for JSON-encoding purposes, the module
   name for "notification" element will be "ietf-https-notif".

Internet-Draft        HTTPS Configured Subscription            July 2020

   With those changes, the SSE event notification encoded JSON example
   that would be sent over the HTTPS notif transport would appear as
   follows:

         data: {
         data:   "ietf-https-notif:notification" : {
         data:     "eventTime" : "2013-12-21T00:01:00Z",
         data:     "example-mod:event" : {
         data:       "event-class" : "fault",
         data:       "reporting-entity" : { "card" : "Ethernet0" },
         data:       "severity" : "major"
         data:     }
         data:   }
         data: }

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document registers two URI, two YANG module and two Media Types.

7.1.  URI Registration

   in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].  Following the format in RFC
   3688, the following registration is requested to be made:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-http-notif
   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-sub-notif-recv-list

   Registrant Contact: The IESG.  XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML
   namespace.

7.2.  YANG Module Name Registration

   This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
   registry YANG [RFC6020].

   name: ietf-https-notif
   namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-https-notif

8.  Examples

   This section shows some examples in how the module can be used.

8.1.  Subscribed Notification based Configuration

   This example shows how a HTTPS client can be configured to send
   notifications to a receiver at address 192.0.2.1, port 443, a 'path',
   with server certificates, and the corresponding trust store that is
   used to authenticate a connection.

8.2.  Non Subscribed Notification based Configuration

   In the case that it is desired to use HTTPS notif outside of
   Subscribed Notifications, there would have to be a module to define
   the configuration for where and how to send the notification, such as
   the following:

   [note: '\' line wrapping for formatting only]

   module example-custom-module {
     yang-version 1.1;
