Introduction A federated file system enables file access and namespace traversal in a uniform, secure, and consistent manner across multiple independent fileservers within an enterprise (and possibly across multiple enterprises) with reasonably good performance. Traditionally, building a namespace that spans multiple fileservers has been difficult for two reasons. First, the fileservers that export pieces of the namespace are often not in the same administrative domain. Second, there is no standard mechanism for the fileservers to cooperatively present the namespace. Fileservers might provide proprietary management tools, and in some cases, an administrator might be able to use the proprietary tools to build a shared namespace out of the exported file systems. Relying on vendor-proprietary tools does not work in larger enterprises or when collaborating across enterprises because it is likely that the system will contain fileservers running different software, each with their own protocols, with no common protocol to manage the namespace or exchange namespace information. The requirements for federated namespaces are described in [RFC5716]. The protocol for federated file systems described in [RFC7532] allows fileservers from different vendors and/or with different administrators to cooperatively build a namespace. This document describes the protocol used by administrators to configure the fileservers and construct the namespace.1.1. Definitions Administrator: A user with the necessary authority to initiate administrative tasks on one or more servers. Admin Entity: A server or agent that administers a collection of fileservers and persistently stores the namespace information.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 File-Access Client: Standard off-the-shelf, network-attached storage (NAS) client software that communicates with fileservers using a standard file-access protocol. Federation: A set of fileserver collections and singleton fileservers that use a common set of interfaces and protocols in order to provide to file-access clients a federated namespace accessible through a file system access protocol. Fileserver: A server that stores physical fileset data or refers file-access clients to other fileservers. A fileserver provides access to its shared file system data via a file-access protocol. Fileset: The abstraction of a set of files and the directory tree that contains them. A fileset is the fundamental unit of data management in the federation. Note that all files within a fileset are descendants of one directory and that filesets do not span file systems. File System: A self-contained unit of export for a fileserver and the mechanism used to implement filesets. The fileset does not need to be rooted at the root of the file system, nor at the export point for the file system. A single file system MAY implement more than one fileset, if the file-access protocol and the fileserver permit this. File-Access Protocol: A network file system access protocol such as the Network File System (NFS) version 4 [RFC7530] or the Common Internet File System (CIFS) [MS-SMB] [MS-SMB2] [MS-CIFS]. FSL (Fileset Location): The location of the implementation of a fileset at a particular moment in time. An FSL MUST be something that can be translated into a protocol-specific description of a resource that a file-access client can access directly, such as an fs_locations attribute (for NFSv4) or a share name (for CIFS). FSN (Fileset Name): A platform-independent and globally unique name for a fileset. Two FSLs that implement replicas of the same fileset MUST have the same FSN, and if a fileset is migrated from one location to another, the FSN of that fileset MUST remain the same. Junction: A file system object used to link a directory name in the current fileset with an object within another fileset. The server-side "link" from a leaf node in one fileset to the root of another fileset.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 Namespace: A filename/directory tree that a sufficiently authorized file-access client can observe. NSDB (Namespace Database) Service: A service that maps FSNs to FSLs. The NSDB may also be used to store other information, such as annotations for these mappings and their components. NSDB Node: The name or location of a server that implements part of the NSDB service and is responsible for keeping track of the FSLs (and related information) that implement a given partition of the FSNs. Referral: A server response to a file-access client access that directs the client to evaluate the current object as a reference to an object at a different location (specified by an FSL) in another fileset and possibly hosted on another fileserver. The client re-attempts the access to the object at the new location. Replica: A redundant implementation of a fileset. Each replica shares the same FSN but has a different FSL. Replicas may be used to increase availability or performance. Updates to replicas of the same fileset MUST appear to occur in the same order; therefore, each replica is self-consistent at any moment. We do not assume that updates to each replica occur simultaneously. If a replica is offline or unreachable, the other replicas may be updated. Server Collection: A set of fileservers administered as a unit. A server collection may be administered with vendor-specific software. The namespace provided by a server collection could be part of the federated namespace. Singleton Server: A server collection containing only one server; a stand-alone fileserver.1.2. Requirements Language 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].Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 20152. Protocol The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol used to convey administration operations is the Open Network Computing (ONC) RPC protocol [RFC5531]. The data structures used for the parameters and return values of these procedures are expressed in this document in External Data Representation (XDR) [RFC4506]. The XDR definitions below are formatted to allow the reader to easily extract them from the document. The reader can use the following shell script to extract the definitions: <CODE BEGINS> #!/bin/sh grep '^ *///' | sed 's?^ */// ??' | sed 's?^ *///$??' <CODE ENDS> If the above script is stored in a file called "extract.sh" and this document is in a file called "spec.txt", then the reader can do: <CODE BEGINS> sh extract.sh < spec.txt > admin1.xdr <CODE ENDS> The effect of the script is to remove leading white space from each line, plus a sentinel sequence of "///". The protocol definition in XDR notation is shown below. We begin by defining basic constants and structures used by the protocol. We then present the procedures defined by the protocol. <CODE BEGINS> /// /* /// * Copyright (c) 2015 IETF Trust and the persons identified /// * as authors of the code.

Error Values The results of successful operations will consist of a status of FEDFS_OK. The results of unsuccessful operations will begin with a status, other than FEDFS_OK, that indicates the reason why the operation failed. Many of the error status names and meanings (and the prose for their descriptions) are taken from the specification for NFSv4 [RFC7530]. Note, however, that the numeric values for the status codes are different. For example, the name and meaning of FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS was inspired by NFSv4's NFS4ERR_ACCESS, but their numeric values are different. The status of an unsuccessful operation will generally only indicate the first error encountered during the attempt to execute the operation. FEDFS_OK: No errors were encountered. The operation was a success. FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS: Permission denied. The caller does not have the correct permission to perform the requested operation.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 FEDFS_ERR_BADCHAR: A UTF-8 string contains a character that is not supported by the server in the context in which it being used. FEDFS_ERR_BADNAME: A name string in a request consisted of valid UTF-8 characters supported by the server, but the name is not supported by the server as a valid name for the current operation. FEDFS_ERR_NAMETOOLONG: Returned when the pathname in an operation exceeds the server's implementation limit. FEDFS_ERR_LOOP: Returned when too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving pathname. FEDFS_ERR_BADXDR: The server encountered an XDR decoding error while processing an operation. FEDFS_ERR_EXIST: The junction specified already exists. FEDFS_ERR_INVAL: Invalid argument for an operation. FEDFS_ERR_IO: A hard error occurred while processing the requested operation. FEDFS_ERR_NOSPC: The requested operation would have caused the server's file system to exceed some limit (for example, if there is a fixed number of junctions per fileset or per server). FEDFS_ERR_NOTJUNCT: The caller specified a path that does not end in a junction as the operand for an operation that requires the last component of the path to be a junction. FEDFS_ERR_NOTLOCAL: The caller specified a path that contains a junction in any position other than the last component. FEDFS_ERR_PERM: The operation was not allowed because the caller is either not a privileged user or not the owner of an object that would be modified by the operation. FEDFS_ERR_ROFS: A modifying operation was attempted on a read-only file system. FEDFS_ERR_SVRFAULT: An unanticipated non-protocol error occurred on the server. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_ROUTE: The fileserver was unable to find a route to the NSDB.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_DOWN: The fileserver determined that the NSDB was down. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_CONN: The fileserver was unable to establish a connection with the NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_AUTH: The fileserver was unable to authenticate and establish a secure connection with the NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP: A Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) error occurred on the connection between the fileserver and NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_VAL: Indicates the same error as FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP and allows the LDAP protocol error value to be returned back to an ADMIN protocol client. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NONCE: The fileserver was unable to locate the NSDB Container Entry (NCE) in the appropriate NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NOFSN: The fileserver was unable to locate the given FSN in the appropriate NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NOFSL: The fileserver was unable to locate any FSLs for the given FSN in the appropriate NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_RESPONSE: The fileserver received a malformed response from the NSDB. This includes situations when an NSDB entry (e.g., FSN or FSL) is missing a required attribute. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_FAULT: An unanticipated error related to the NSDB occurred. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS: The fileserver does not have any connection parameters on record for the specified NSDB. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL: The fileserver received an LDAP referral that it was unable to follow. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_VAL: Indicates the same error as FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL and allows the LDAP protocol error value to be returned back to an ADMIN protocol client. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_NOTFOLLOWED: The fileserver received an LDAP referral that it chose not to follow, either because the fileserver does not support following LDAP referrals or LDAP referral following is disabled.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS_LDAP_REFERRAL: The fileserver received an LDAP referral that it chose not to follow because the fileserver had no NSDB parameters for the NSDB targeted by the LDAP referral. FEDFS_ERR_PATH_TYPE_UNSUPP: The fileserver does not support the specified FedFsPathType value. FEDFS_ERR_NOTSUPP: The fileserver does not support the specified procedure. FEDFS_ERR_DELAY: The fileserver initiated the request but was not able to complete it in a timely fashion. The ADMIN protocol client should wait and then try the request with a new RPC transaction ID. FEDFS_ERR_NO_CACHE: The fileserver does not implement an FSN-to-FSL cache. FEDFS_ERR_UNKNOWN_CACHE: The software receiving the ONC RPC request is unaware if the fileserver implements an FSN-to-FSL cache or is unable to communicate with the FSN-to-FSL cache if it exists. FEDFS_ERR_NO_CACHE_UPDATE: The fileserver was unable to update its FSN-to-FSL cache.4. Data Types The basic data types defined above are formatted as follows: FedFsUuid: A universally unique identifier (UUID) as described in [RFC4122] as a version 4 UUID. The UUID MUST be formatted in network byte order. FedFsNsdbName: A (hostname, port) pair. The hostname is a variable-length UTF-8 string that represents an NSDB's network location in DNS name notation. It SHOULD be prepared using the domain name rules defined inSection 12.6 ("Types with Processing Defined by Other Internet Areas") of [RFC7530]. The DNS name MUST be represented using a fully qualified domain name. The port value in the FedFsNsdbName indicates the LDAP port on the NSDB (see [RFC4511]). The value MUST be in the range 0 to 65535. A value of 0 indicates that the standard LDAP port number, 389, MUST be assumed.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 FSNs are immutable and invariant. The attributes of an FSN, including the fedfsNsdbName, are expected to remain constant. Therefore, a FedFsNsdbName MUST NOT contain a network address, such as an IPv4 or IPv6 address, as this would indefinitely assign the network address. FedFsPathComponent: A case-sensitive UTF-8 string containing a file system path component. The component names of an NFSv4 pathname MUST be prepared using the component name rules defined inSection 12 ("Internationalization") of [RFC7530] prior to encoding the path component of an NFS URI. FedFsPathName: A variable-length array of FedFsPathComponent values representing a file system path. The path's first component is stored at the first position of the array, the second component is stored at the second position of the array, and so on. The path "/" MUST be encoded as an array with zero components. A FedFsPathName MUST NOT contain any zero-length components. FedFsPath: A pathname container. The format and semantics of the pathname are defined by the FedFsPathType value. FedFsPathType: The type-specific description of a pathname. A FEDFS_PATH_SYS is an implementation-dependent administrative pathname. For example, it could be a local file system path. A FEDFS_PATH_NFS is a pathname in the NFSv4 server's single-server namespace. FedFsNsdbParams: A set of parameters for connecting to an NSDB. Conceptually, the fileserver contains a data structure that maps an NSDB name (DNS name and port value) to these LDAP connection parameters. The secType field indicates the security mechanism that MUST be used to protect all connections to the NSDB with the connection parameters. A value of FEDFS_SEC_NONE indicates that a transport security mechanism MUST NOT be used when connecting to the NSDB. In this case, the secData array will have a length of zero. A value of FEDFS_SEC_TLS indicates that the StartTLS security mechanism [RFC4513] MUST be used to protect all connections to the NSDB. In this case, the secData array will contain an X.509v3Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 root certificate in binary DER format [RFC5280] fulfilling the Transport Layer Security (TLS) requirement that root keys be distributed independently from the TLS protocol. The certificate MUST be used by the fileserver as a trust anchor to validate the NSDB's TLS server certificate list chain (seeSection 7.4.2 of [RFC5246]) and thus authenticate the identity of the NSDB. The certificate could be that of a certificate authority or a self- signed certificate. To ensure that this security configuration information does not cause vulnerabilities for other services, trust anchors provided through secData MUST only be used for the NSDB service (as opposed to being installed as system-wide trust anchors for other services). Most popular TLS libraries provide ways in which this can be done, such as denoting a private file system location for the certificates.4.1. FedFsNsdbName Equality Two FedFsNsdbNames are considered equal if their respective hostname and port fields contain the same values. The only exception to this rule is that a value of 0 in the port field always matches the standard LDAP port number, 389. Therefore, the FedFsNsdbName "(nsdb.example.com, 0)" is considered equal to "(nsdb.example.com, 389)" but not equal to "(nsdb.example.com, 1066)" since the port numbers are different or "(nsdb.foo.example.com, 389)" since the hostnames are different.5. Procedures The procedures defined inSection 2 are described in detail in the following sections. Fileservers that participate as "internal" nodes in the federated namespace MUST implement the following procedures: FEDFS_NULL FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION FEDFS_DELETE_JUNCTION FEDFS_LOOKUP_JUNCTION FEDFS_SET_NSDB_PARAMS FEDFS_GET_NSDB_PARAMS FEDFS_GET_LIMITED_NSDB_PARAMS Furthermore, they SHOULD implement the following procedures: FEDFS_CREATE_REPLICATION FEDFS_DELETE_REPLICATION FEDFS_LOOKUP_REPLICATIONLentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 17]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 Fileservers that participate as "leaf" nodes in the namespace (i.e., fileservers that host filesets that are the target of junctions but that do not contain any junctions) are not required to implement any of these operations. Operations that modify the state of a replicated fileset MUST result in the update of all of the replicas in a consistent manner. Ideally, all of the replicas SHOULD be updated before any operation returns. If one or more of the replicas are unavailable, the operation MAY succeed, but the changes MUST be applied before the unavailable replicas are brought back online. We assume that replicas are updated via some protocol that permits state changes to be reflected consistently across the set of replicas in such a manner that the replicas will converge to a consistent state within a bounded number of successful message exchanges between the servers hosting the replicas.5.1. FEDFS_NULL5.1.1. Synopsis The standard NULL procedure.5.1.2. Description The null RPC, which is included, by convention, in every ONC RPC protocol. This procedure does not take any arguments and does not produce a result.5.1.3. Errors None.5.2. FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION5.2.1. Synopsis Create a new junction from some location on the server (defined as a pathname) to an FSN.5.2.2. Description This operation creates a junction from a server-relative path to a (potentially) remote fileset named by the given FSN. The junction directory on the server is identified by a pathname in the form of an array of one or more UTF-8 path component strings. It is not required that this path be accessible in any other mannerLentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 (e.g., to a file-access client). This path does not appear in the federated namespace, except by coincidence; there is no requirement that the global namespace parallel the server namespace, nor is it required that this path be relative to the server pseudo-root. It does not need to be a path that is accessible via NFS (although the junction will be of limited utility if the directory specified by the path is not also accessible via NFS). If the fileset is read-only, then this operation MUST indicate this with a status of FEDFS_ERR_ROFS. If the path contains a character that is not supported by the server, then status FEDFS_ERR_BADCHAR MUST be returned. The path is REQUIRED to exist and be completely local to the server. It MUST NOT contain a junction. If the last component of the path is a junction (i.e., this operation is attempting to create a junction where one already exists), then this operation MUST return the error FEDFS_ERR_EXIST (even if the requested junction is identical to the current junction). If any other component of the path is a junction, then this operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NOTLOCAL. The path might contain a symbolic link (if supported by the local server), but the traversal of the path MUST remain within the server- local namespace. If any component of the path does not exist, then the operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_INVAL. The server MAY enforce the local permissions on the path, including the final component. If a server wishes to report that a path cannot be traversed because of insufficient permissions, or the final component is an unexecutable or unwritable directory, then the operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS. The operation SHOULD fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS if the fileserver does not have any connection parameters on record for the specified NSDB, or the server may allow the operation to proceed using some set of default NSDB connection parameters. The association between the path and the FSN MUST be durable before the operation returns successfully. If the operation return code indicates success, then the junction was successfully created and is immediately accessible. If successful, subsequent references via NFSv4.0 [RFC7530] or NFSv4.1 [RFC5661] clients to the directory that has been replaced by the junction will result in a referral to a current location of the target fileset [RFC7532].Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 The effective permissions of the directory that is converted, by this operation, into a junction are the permissions of the root directory of the target fileset. The original permissions of the directory (and any other attributes it might have) are subsumed by the junction. This operation does not create a fileset at the location targeted by the junction. If the target fileset does not exist, the junction will still be created. An NFS client will discover the missing fileset when it traverses the junction.5.2.3.

FEDFS_DELETE_JUNCTION5.3.1. Synopsis Delete an existing junction from some location on the server (defined as a pathname).5.3.2. Description This operation removes a junction specified by a server-relative path. As with FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION, the junction on the server is identified by a pathname in the form of an array of one or more UTF-8 path component strings. It is not required that this path be accessible in any other manner (e.g., to a file-access client). This path does not appear in the federated namespace, except byLentini, et al.

It does not need to be a path that is accessible via NFS. If the fileset is read-only, then this operation MUST indicate this with a status of FEDFS_ERR_ROFS. If the path contains a character that is not supported by the server, then status FEDFS_ERR_BADCHAR MUST be returned. The path used to delete a junction might not be the same path that was used to create the junction. If the namespace on the server has changed, then the junction might now appear at a different path than where it was created. If there is more than one valid path to the junction, any of them can be used. The path is REQUIRED to exist and be completely local to the server. It MUST NOT contain a junction, except as the final component, which MUST be a junction. If any other component of the path is a junction, then this operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NOTLOCAL. If the last component of the path is not a junction, then this operation MUST return status FEDFS_ERR_NOTJUNCT. The path might contain a symbolic link (if supported by the local server), but the traversal of the path MUST remain within the server- local namespace. The server MAY enforce the local permissions on the path, including the final component. If a server wishes to report that a path cannot be traversed because of insufficient permissions, or the final component is an unexecutable or unwritable directory, then the operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS. The removal of the association between the path and the FSN MUST be durable before the operation returns successfully. If the operation return code indicates success, then the junction was successfully destroyed. The effective permissions and other attributes of the directory that is restored by this operation SHOULD be identical to their value prior to the creation of the junction. After removal of the junction, the fileserver MAY check if any of its existing junctions reference the NSDB specified in the removed junction's FSN. If the NSDB is not referenced, the fileserver MAY delete the connection parameters of the unreferenced NSDB.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 21]

FEDFS_LOOKUP_JUNCTION5.4.1. Synopsis Query the server to discover the current value of the junction (if any) at a given path in the server namespace.5.4.2. Description This operation queries a server to determine whether a given path ends in a junction. If it does, the FSN to which the junction refers and the fileserver's ability to resolve the junction is returned. Ordinary NFSv4 operations do not provide any general mechanism to determine whether an object is a junction -- there is no encoding specified by the NFSv4 protocol that can represent this information. As with FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION, the pathname MUST be in the form of an array of one or more UTF-8 path component strings. It is not required that this path be accessible in any other manner (e.g., to a file-access client). This path does not appear in the federated namespace, except by coincidence; there is no requirement that the global namespace reflect the server namespace, nor is it required that this path be relative to the server pseudo-root. It does not need to be a path that is accessible via NFS. If the path contains a character that is not supported by the server, then status FEDFS_ERR_BADCHAR MUST be returned.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 The path used to look up a junction might not be the same path that was used to create the junction. If the namespace on the server has changed, then a junction might now appear at a different path than where it was created. If there is more than one valid path to the junction, any of them might be used. The path is REQUIRED to exist and be completely local to the server. It MUST NOT contain a junction, except as the final component. If any other component of the path is a junction, then this operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NOTLOCAL. If the last component of the path is not a junction, then this operation MUST return the status FEDFS_ERR_NOTJUNCT. The path might contain a symbolic link (if supported by the local server), but the traversal of the path MUST remain within the server-local namespace. The server MAY enforce the local permissions on the path, including the final component. If a server wishes to report that a path cannot be traversed because of insufficient permissions, or the final component is an unexecutable or unwritable directory, then the operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS. If the junction exists, the resolve parameter allows for testing the fileserver's ability to resolve the junction. If the junction does not exist, the fileserver will ignore the resolve parameter. If the junction exists and the resolve parameter is set to FEDFS_RESOLVE_NONE, the fileserver MUST NOT attempt to resolve the FSN. This will allow an administrator to obtain the junction's FSN even if the resolution would fail. Therefore, on success, the result of a FEDFS_RESOLVE_NONE call will return a zero-length fsl list in the FedFsLookupResOk structure. If the junction exists and the resolve parameter is set to FEDFS_RESOLVE_CACHE, the fileserver MUST attempt to resolve the FSN using its FSL cache, if one exists. The fileserver MUST NOT resolve the FSN by contacting the appropriate NSDB. If the fileserver's cache does not have a mapping for the FSN in question, the result of the operation MUST be FEDFS_OK with 0 elements in the FedFsLookupResOk structure's fsl array. The operation MAY fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NO_CACHE if the fileserver does not contain an FSN- to-FSL cache or with status FEDFS_ERR_UNKNOWN_CACHE if the state of the cache is unknown. If the junction exists and the resolve parameter is set to FEDFS_RESOLVE_NSDB, the fileserver MUST attempt to resolve the FSN by contacting the appropriate NSDB. The FSN MUST NOT be resolved using cached information. The resolution MAY fail with FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_ROUTE, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_DOWN, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_CONN,Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_AUTH, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_VAL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NOFSN, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NOFSL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_NONCE, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_RESPONSE, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_FAULT, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_VAL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_NOTFOLLOWED, or FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS_LDAP_REFERRAL, depending on the nature of the failure. In the case of an LDAP failure, the fileserver MUST return either FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP or FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_VAL. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP indicates that an LDAP protocol error occurred during the resolution. FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_VAL also indicates that an LDAP protocol error occurred during the resolution and allows the LDAP protocol error value to be returned in the FedFsLookupRes's ldapResultCode field (see the resultCode values inSection 4.1.9 of [RFC4511]). If the NSDB responds with an LDAP referral, either the Referral type defined inSection 4.1.10 of [RFC4511] or the SearchResultReference type defined inSection 4.5.3 of [RFC4511], the fileserver SHOULD process the LDAP referral using the same policies as the fileserver's file-access protocol server. The fileserver MUST indicate a failure while processing the LDAP referral using FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_VAL, FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_NOTFOLLOWED, or FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS_LDAP_REFERRAL. The FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_VAL is analogous to the FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_VAL error and allows the LDAP protocol error value to be returned in the FedFsLookupResReferralVal's ldapResultCode field. The FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL and FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS_LDAP_REFERRAL errors allow the NSDB targeted by the LDAP referral to be returned in the FedFsLookupRes's targetNsdb field. Similarly, the FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_LDAP_REFERRAL_VAL error includes this information in the FedFsLookupResReferralVal's targetNsdb. If the fileserver has a cache of FSL records, the process of resolving an FSN using an NSDB SHOULD result in the cache being updated. A failure to update the cache MAY be indicated with the FEDFS_ERR_NO_CACHE_UPDATE status value, or the operation may complete successfully. When updating the cache, new FSLs for the given FSN SHOULD be added to the cache, and deleted FSLs SHOULD be removed from the cache. This behavior is desirable because it allows an administrator to proactively request that the fileserver refresh its FSL cache. For example, an administrator might like to refresh the fileserver's cache when changes are made to an FSN's FSLs.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 24]

RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 20155.5. FEDFS_CREATE_REPLICATION5.5.1. Synopsis Set an FSN representing the replication information for the fileset containing the pathname.5.5.2. Description This operation indicates the replication information to be returned for a particular fileset. An NFSv4 client might request fs_locations or fs_locations_info at any time to detect other copies of this fileset, and this operation supports this by supplying the FSN the fileserver should use to respond. This FSN should be associated with the entire fileset in which the path resides and should be used to satisfy fs_locations or fs_locations_info attribute requests whenever no junction is being accessed; if a junction is being accessed, the FSN specified by FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION will take precedence. Setting the replication FSN on a fileset that already has a replication FSN set is allowed. This operation differs from FEDFS_CREATE_JUNCTION in that it controls a fileset-wide attribute not associated with a junction. The server SHOULD permit this operation even on read-only filesets but MUST return FEDFS_ERR_ROFS if this is not possible. If the path contains a character that is not supported by the server, then status FEDFS_ERR_BADCHAR MUST be returned. The path is REQUIRED to exist and be completely local to the server. It MUST NOT contain a junction. If any component of the path is a junction, then this operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NOTLOCAL. The path might contain a symbolic link (if supported by the local server), but the traversal of the path MUST remain within the server-local namespace. The server MAY enforce the local permissions on the path, including the final component. If a server wishes to report that a path cannot be traversed because of insufficient permissions, or the final component is an unexecutable or unwritable directory, then the operation MUST fail with status FEDFS_ERR_ACCESS. The operation SHOULD fail with status FEDFS_ERR_NSDB_PARAMS if the fileserver does not have any connection parameters on record for the specified NSDB, or the server may allow the operation to proceed using some set of default NSDB connection parameters.Lentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 The same FSN value SHOULD be associated with all replicas of a file system.

If a record for the given NSDB does exist, the existing connection parameters are replaced with the specified connection parameters. An NSDB is specified using a FedFsNsdbName. The rules inSection 4.1 define when two FedFsNsdbNames are considered equal. The given NSDB need not be referenced by any junctions on the fileserver. This situation will occur when connection parameters for a new NSDB are installed. The format of the connection parameters is described inSection 4. On success, this operation returns FEDFS_OK. When the operation returns, the new connection parameters SHOULD be used for all subsequent LDAP connections to the given NSDB. Existing connections MAY be terminated and re-established using the new connection parameters. The connection parameters SHOULD be durable across fileserver reboots. On failure, an error value indicating the type of error is returned.

FEDFS_GET_LIMITED_NSDB_PARAMS5.10.1. Synopsis Get a limited subset of the connection parameters for the specified NSDB.5.10.2. Description This operation allows an administrator to retrieve a limited subset of information on the connection parameters, if they exist, for the given NSDB. An NSDB is specified using a FedFsNsdbName. The rules inSection 4.1 define when two FedFsNsdbNames are considered equal. A set of connection parameters is considered a match if their associated NSDB is equal (as defined inSection 4.1) to the operation's NSDB argument. Therefore, there is at most one set of connection parameters that can match the query described by this operation. This operation returns a limited subset of the connection parameters. Only the FedFsConnectionSec mechanism that is used to protect communication between the fileserver and NSDB is returned. Viewing the limited subset of NSDB connection parameters returned by FEDFS_GET_LIMITED_NSDB_PARAMS MAY be a less privileged operation than viewing the entire set of NSDB connection parameters returned by FEDFS_GET_NSDB_PARAMS. For example, the full contents of an NSDB's connection parameters could contain sensitive information for some security mechanisms. FEDFS_GET_LIMITED_NSDB_PARAMS allows the fileserver to communicate a subset of the connection parameters (the security mechanism) to users with sufficient permissions without revealing more sensitive information.Lentini, et al.

Security Considerations The security considerations of [RFC5531] apply to the protocol described in this document. The ONC RPC protocol supports authentication, integrity, and privacy via the RPCSEC_GSS framework [RFC2203]. Fileservers that support the FedFS administration protocol described in this document MUST support RPCSEC_GSS. As with NFSv4.1 (seeSection 2.2.1.1.1.1 of [RFC5661]), FedFS administration protocol clients and servers MUST support RPCSEC_GSS's integrity and authentication services. FedFS administration protocol servers MUST support RPCSEC_GSS's privacy service. FedFS administration protocol clients SHOULD support RPCSEC_GSS's privacy service. When RPCSEC_GSS is employed on behalf of the FedFS administration protocol, RPCSEC_GSS data integrity SHOULD be used. It is strongly RECOMMENDED that an Access Control Service be employed to restrict access to a fileserver's FedFS administration configuration data via the FedFS administrative protocol to prevent FedFS namespace corruption and protect NSDB communication parameters. For example, when the FedFsNsdbParams secType field value FEDFS_SEC_TLS is chosen, the payload is used to provision the trust anchor root certificate for TLS secure communication between theLentini, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]
RFC 7533 Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems March 2015 fileserver and the NSDB. In this case, RPCSEC_GSS with data integrity SHOULD be employed along with an Access Control Service to restrict access to domain administrators. FEDFS_GET_LIMITED_NSDB_PARAMS's interaction with the NSDB's connection parameters is discussed inSection 5.10.2.7. IANA Considerations A range of ONC RPC program numbers were assigned for use by FedFS using the procedure described inSection 8.3 ("Program Number Assignment") of [RFC5531]. The FedFS range is: IETF NFSv4 Working Group - FedFS 100418 - 100421 Program 100418 has been removed from the reserved FedFS range and assigned to version 1 of the ONC RPC program (100418) described in this document with the short name "fedfs_admin", a Description of "FedFS Administration", and a reference toRFC 7533.8.
