This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for the configuration and identification of the management system of a device.
Devices that are managed by NETCONF and perhaps other mechanisms have common properties that need to be configured and monitored in a standard way.
The "ietf‑system" YANG module defined in this document provides the following features:
The keywords "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].
The following terms are used within this document:
There are many common properties used to identify devices, operating systems, software versions, etc. that need to be supported in the system data module. These objects are defined as operational data and intended to be specific to the device vendor.
Some user-configurable administrative strings are also provided such as the system location and description.
The management of the date and time used by the system need to be supported. Use of one or more NTP servers to automatically set the system date and time need to be possible. Utilization of the Timezone database [RFC6557] also need to be supported.
The authentication mechanism need to support password authentication over RADIUS, to support deployment scenarios with centralized authentication servers. Additionally, local users need to be supported, for scenarios when no centralized authentication server exists, or for situations where the centralized authentication server cannot be reached from the device.
Since the mandatory transport protocol for NETCONF is SSH [RFC6242] the authentication model need to support SSH's "publickey" and "password" authentication methods [RFC4252].
The model for authentication configuration should be flexible enough to support authentication methods defined by other standard documents or by vendors.
The data model for system identification has the following structure:
+--rw system
+--rw contact? string
+--rw name? string
+--rw location? string
+--ro platform
+--ro os-name? string
+--ro os-release? string
+--ro os-version? string
+--ro machine? string
+--ro nodename? string
The data model for system time management has the following structure:
+--rw system
+--rw clock
| +--ro current-datetime? yang:date-and-time
| +--ro boot-datetime? yang:date-and-time
| +--rw (timezone)?
| +--:(timezone-location)
| | +--rw timezone-location? string
| +--:(timezone-utc-offset)
| +--rw timezone-utc-offset? int16
+--rw ntp
+--rw use-ntp? boolean
+--rw ntp-server [address]
+--rw association-type? enumeration
+--rw address inet:host
+--rw enabled? boolean
+--rw iburst? boolean
+--rw prefer? boolean
The data model for configuration of the DNS resolver has the following structure:
+--rw system
+--rw dns
+--rw search* inet:host
+--rw server* inet:ip-address
+--rw options
+--rw ndots? uint8
+--rw timeout? uint8
+--rw attempts? uint8
The data model for configuration of the RADIUS client has the following structure:
+--rw system
+--rw radius
+--rw server [address]
| +--rw address inet:host
| +--rw authentication-port? inet:port-number
| +--rw shared-secret? string
+--rw options
+--rw timeout? uint8
+--rw attempts? uint8
This document defines three authentication methods for use with NETCONF:
Additional methods can be defined by other standard documents or by vendors.
This document defines two optional YANG features, "local‑users" and "radius‑authentication", which the server advertises to indicate support for configuring local users on the device, and support for using RADIUS for authentication, respectively.
The authentication parameters defined in this document are primarily used to configure authentication of NETCONF users, but MAY also be used by other interfaces, e.g., a Command Line Interface or a Web-based User Interface.
The data model for user authentication has the following structure:
+--rw system
+--rw authentication
+--rw user-authentication-order* identityref
+--rw user [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw password? crypt-hash
+--rw ssh-key [name]
+--rw name string
+--rw algorithm? string
+--rw key-data? binary
If the NETCONF server advertises the "local‑users" feature, configuration of local users and their SSH public keys is supported in the /system/authentication/user list.
Public key authentication is requested by the SSH client. If the "local‑users" feature is supported, then when a NETCONF client starts an SSH session towards the server using the "publickey" authentication "method name" [RFC4252], the SSH server looks up the user name given in the SSH authentication request in the /system/authentication/user list, and verifies the key as described in [RFC4253].
If the NETCONF server advertises the "local‑users" feature, configuration of local users and their passwords is supported in the /system/authentication/user list.
For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication, the leaf-list "user‑authentication‑order" is used to control if local user password authentication should be used.
In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other NETCONF transport protocols MAY also support password authentication.
When local user password authentication is requested, the NETCONF transport looks up the user name provided by the client in the /system/ authentication/user list, and verifies the password.
If the NETCONF server advertises the "radius‑authentication" feature, the device supports user authentication using RADIUS.
For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication, the leaf-list "user‑authentication‑order" is used to control if RADIUS password authentication should be used.
In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other NETCONF transport protocols MAY also support password authentication.
Two protocol operations are included to restart or shutdown the system. The 'system‑restart' operation can be used to restart the entire system (not just the NETCONF server). The 'system‑shutdown' operation can be used to power off the entire system.
This YANG module imports YANG extensions from [RFC6536], and imports YANG types from [RFC6021] and [I-D.lange-netmod-iana-timezones]. It also references [RFC1321], [RFC2865], [RFC3418], [RFC5607], [IEEE-1003.1-2008], and [FIPS.180-3.2008].

}
description
"The crypt-hash type is used to store passwords using
a hash function. This type is implemented in various UNIX
systems as the function crypt(3).
When a clear text value is set to a leaf of this type, the
server calculates a password hash, and stores the result
in the datastore. Thus, the password is never stored in
clear text.
When a leaf of this type is read, the stored password hash is
returned.
A value of this type matches one of the forms:
$0$<clear text password>
$<id>$<salt>$<password hash>
The '$0$' prefix signals that the value is clear text. When
such a value is received by the server, a hash value is
calculated, and the string '$<id>$<salt>$' is prepended to the
result, where <salt> is a random 2-16 characters long salt
used to generate the digest. This value is stored in the
configuration data store.
If a value starting with '$<id>$<salt>$' is received, the
server knows that the value already represents a hashed value,
and stores it as is in the data store.
When a server needs to verify a password given by a user, it
finds the stored password hash string for that user, extracts
the salt, and calculates the hash with the salt and given
password as input. If the calculated hash value is the same
as the stored value, the password given by the client is
correct.
This type defines the following hash functions:
id | hash function | feature
---+---------------+-------------------
1 | MD5 | crypt-hash-md5
5 | SHA-256 | crypt-hash-sha-256
6 | SHA-512 | crypt-hash-sha-512
The server indicates support for the different hash functions
by advertising the corresponding feature.";

This document registers one URI 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-system
Registrant Contact: The NETMOD WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020].
name: ietf-system namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system prefix: sys reference: RFC XXXX
The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242].
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module which 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:
