RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 20031.  Introduction   The RADIUS protocol, defined in [RFC2865], does not support   unsolicited messages sent from the RADIUS server to the Network   Access Server (NAS).   However, there are many instances in which it is desirable for   changes to be made to session characteristics, without requiring the   NAS to initiate the exchange.  For example, it may be desirable for   administrators to be able to terminate a user session in progress.   Alternatively, if the user changes authorization level, this may   require that authorization attributes be added/deleted from a user   session.   To overcome these limitations, several vendors have implemented   additional RADIUS commands in order to be able to support unsolicited   messages sent from the RADIUS server to the NAS.  These extended   commands provide support for Disconnect and Change-of-Authorization   (CoA) messages.  Disconnect messages cause a user session to be   terminated immediately, whereas CoA messages modify session   authorization attributes such as data filters.1.1.  Applicability   This protocol is being recommended for publication as an   Informational RFC rather than as a standards-track RFC because of   problems that cannot be fixed without creating incompatibilities with   deployed implementations.  This includes security vulnerabilities, as   well as semantic ambiguities resulting from the design of the   Change-of-Authorization (CoA) commands.  While fixes are recommended,   they cannot be made mandatory since this would be incompatible with   existing implementations.   Existing implementations of this protocol do not support   authorization checks, so that an ISP sharing a NAS with another ISP   could disconnect or change authorizations for another ISP's users.   In order to remedy this problem, a "Reverse Path Forwarding" check is   recommended.  SeeSection 5.1. for details.   Existing implementations utilize per-packet authentication and   integrity protection algorithms with known weaknesses [MD5Attack].   To provide stronger per-packet authentication and integrity   protection, the use of IPsec is recommended.  SeeSection 5.3. for   details.Chiba, et al.                Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   Existing implementations lack replay protection.  In order to support   replay detection, it is recommended that the Event-Timestamp   Attribute be added to all messages in situations where IPsec replay   protection is not employed.  Implementations should be configurable   to silently discard messages lacking the Event-Timestamp Attribute.   SeeSection 5.4. for details.   The approach taken with CoA commands in existing implementations   results in a semantic ambiguity.  Existing implementations of the   CoA-Request identify the affected session, as well as supply the   authorization changes.  Since RADIUS Attributes included within   existing implementations of the CoA-Request can be used for session   identification or authorization change, it may not be clear which   function a given attribute is serving.   The problem does not exist within [Diameter], in which authorization   change is requested by a command using Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs)   solely for identification, resulting in initiation of a standard   Request/Response sequence where authorization changes are supplied.   As a result, in no command can Diameter AVPs have multiple potential   meanings.   Due to differences in handling change-of-authorization requests in   RADIUS and Diameter, it may be difficult or impossible for a   Diameter/RADIUS gateway to successfully translate existing   implementations of this specification to equivalent messages in   Diameter.  For example, a Diameter command changing any attribute   used for identification within existing CoA-Request implementations   cannot be translated, since such an authorization change is   impossible to carry out in existing implementations.  Similarly,   translation between existing implementations of Disconnect-Request or   CoA-Request messages and Diameter is tricky because a Disconnect-   Request or CoA-Request message will need to be translated to multiple   Diameter commands.   To simplify translation between RADIUS and Diameter, a Service-Type   Attribute with value "Authorize Only" can (optionally) be included   within a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request.  Such a Request contains   only identification attributes.  A NAS supporting the "Authorize   Only" Service-Type within a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request   responds with a NAK containing a Service-Type Attribute with value   "Authorize Only" and an Error-Cause Attribute with value "Request   Initiated".  The NAS will then send an Access-Request containing a   Service-Type Attribute with a value of "Authorize Only".  This usage   sequence is akin to what occurs in Diameter and so is more easily   translated by a Diameter/RADIUS gateway.Chiba, et al.                Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 20031.2.  Requirements Language   In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements   of the specification.  These words are often capitalized.  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].1.3.  Terminology   This document frequently uses the following terms:   Network Access Server (NAS): The device providing access to the                                network.   service:                     The NAS provides a service to the user,                                such as IEEE 802 or PPP.   session:                     Each service provided by the NAS to a                                user constitutes a session, with the                                beginning of the session defined as the                                point where service is first provided                                and the end of the session defined as                                the point where service is ended.  A                                user may have multiple sessions in                                parallel or series if the NAS supports                                that.   silently discard:            This means the implementation discards                                the packet without further processing.                                The implementation SHOULD provide the                                capability of logging the error,                                including the contents of the silently                                discarded packet, and SHOULD record the                                event in a statistics counter.2.  Overview   This section describes the most commonly implemented features of   Disconnect and Change-of-Authorization messages.2.1.  Disconnect Messages (DM)   A Disconnect-Request packet is sent by the RADIUS server in order to   terminate a user session on a NAS and discard all associated session   context.  The Disconnect-Request packet is sent to UDP port 3799, and   identifies the NAS as well as the user session to be terminated by   inclusion of the identification attributes described inSection 3.Chiba, et al.

A NAS MUST respond to a   Disconnect-Request including a Service-Type Attribute with value   "Authorize Only" with a Disconnect-NAK; a Disconnect-ACK MUST NOT be   sent.  A NAS MUST respond to a Disconnect-Request including a   Service-Type Attribute with an unsupported value with a Disconnect-   NAK; an Error-Cause Attribute with value "Unsupported Service" MAY be   included.  A Disconnect-ACK MAY contain the Attribute   Acct-Terminate-Cause (49) [RFC2866] with the value set to 6 for   Admin-Reset.2.2.  Change-of-Authorization Messages (CoA)   CoA-Request packets contain information for dynamically changing   session authorizations.  This is typically used to change data   filters.  The data filters can be of either the ingress or egress   kind, and are sent in addition to the identification attributes as   described insection 3.  The port used, and packet format (described   inSection 2.3.), are the same as that for Disconnect-Request   Messages.   The following attribute MAY be sent in a CoA-Request:   Filter-ID (11) - Indicates the name of a data filter list to be                    applied for the session that the identification                    attributes map to.   +----------+      CoA-Request         +----------+   |          |  <--------------------   |          |   |   NAS    |                          |  RADIUS  |   |          |     CoA-Response         |  Server  |   |          |   ---------------------> |          |   +----------+                          +----------+   The NAS responds to a CoA-Request sent by a RADIUS server with a   CoA-ACK if the NAS is able to successfully change the authorizations   for the user session, or a CoA-NAK if the Request is unsuccessful.

A NAS MUST respond to a CoA-Request including a Service-Type   Attribute with an unsupported value with a CoA-NAK; an Error-Cause   Attribute with value "Unsupported Service" MAY be included.2.3.  Packet Format   For either Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages UDP port 3799   is used as the destination port.  For responses, the source and   destination ports are reversed.  Exactly one RADIUS packet is   encapsulated in the UDP Data field.   A summary of the data format is shown below.  The fields are   transmitted from left to right.   The packet format consists of the fields: Code, Identifier, Length,   Authenticator, and Attributes in Type:Length:Value (TLV) format.  All   fields hold the same meaning as those described in RADIUS [RFC2865].   The Authenticator field MUST be calculated in the same way as is   specified for an Accounting-Request in [RFC2866].    0                   1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |     Code      |  Identifier   |            Length             |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                                                               |   |                         Authenticator                         |   |                                                               |   |                                                               |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |  Attributes ...   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-   Code      The Code field is one octet, and identifies the type of RADIUS      packet.  Packets received with an invalid Code field MUST be      silently discarded.  RADIUS codes (decimal) for this extension are      assigned as follows:      40 - Disconnect-Request [RFC2882]      41 - Disconnect-ACK [RFC2882]      42 - Disconnect-NAK [RFC2882]      43 - CoA-Request [RFC2882]      44 - CoA-ACK [RFC2882]      45 - CoA-NAK [RFC2882]Chiba, et al.

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   Identifier      The Identifier field is one octet, and aids in matching requests      and replies.  The RADIUS client can detect a duplicate request if      it has the same server source IP address and source UDP port and      Identifier within a short span of time.      Unlike RADIUS as defined in [RFC2865], the responsibility for      retransmission of Disconnect-Request and CoA-Request messages lies      with the RADIUS server.  If after sending these messages, the      RADIUS server does not receive a response, it will retransmit.      The Identifier field MUST be changed whenever the content of the      Attributes field changes, or whenever a valid reply has been      received for a previous request.  For retransmissions where the      contents are identical, the Identifier MUST remain unchanged.      If the RADIUS server is retransmitting a Disconnect-Request or      CoA-Request to the same client as before, and the Attributes have      not changed, the same Request Authenticator, Identifier and source      port MUST be used.  If any Attributes have changed, a new      Authenticator and Identifier MUST be used.      Note that if the Event-Timestamp Attribute is included, it will be      updated when the packet is retransmitted, changing the content of      the Attributes field and requiring a new Identifier and Request      Authenticator.      If the Request to a primary proxy fails, a secondary proxy must be      queried, if available.  Issues relating to failover algorithms are      described in [AAATransport].  Since this represents a new request,      a new Request Authenticator and Identifier MUST be used.  However,      where the RADIUS server is sending directly to the client,      failover typically does not make sense, since Disconnect or CoA      messages need to be delivered to the NAS where the session      resides.   Length      The Length field is two octets.  It indicates the length of the      packet including the Code, Identifier, Length, Authenticator and      Attribute fields.  Octets outside the range of the Length field      MUST be treated as padding and ignored on reception.  If the      packet is shorter than the Length field indicates, it MUST be      silently discarded.  The minimum length is 20 and the maximum      length is 4096.Chiba, et al.                Informational                      [Page 8]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   Authenticator      The Authenticator field is sixteen (16) octets.  The most      significant octet is transmitted first.  This value is used to      authenticate the messages between the RADIUS server and client.   Request Authenticator      In Request packets, the Authenticator value is a 16 octet MD5      [RFC1321] checksum, called the Request Authenticator.  The Request      Authenticator is calculated the same way as for an Accounting-      Request, specified in [RFC2866].      Note that the Request Authenticator of a Disconnect or CoA-Request      cannot be done the same way as the Request Authenticator of a      RADIUS Access-Request, because there is no User-Password Attribute      in a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request.   Response Authenticator      The Authenticator field in a Response packet (e.g. Disconnect-ACK,      Disconnect-NAK, CoA-ACK, or CoA-NAK) is called the Response      Authenticator, and contains a one-way MD5 hash calculated over a      stream of octets consisting of the Code, Identifier, Length, the      Request Authenticator field from the packet being replied to, and      the response Attributes if any, followed by the shared secret.      The resulting 16 octet MD5 hash value is stored in the      Authenticator field of the Response packet.   Administrative note: As noted in[RFC2865] Section 3, the secret   (password shared between the client and the RADIUS server) SHOULD be   at least as large and unguessable as a well-chosen password.  RADIUS   clients MUST use the source IP address of the RADIUS UDP packet to   decide which shared secret to use, so that requests can be proxied.   Attributes      In Disconnect and CoA-Request messages, all Attributes are treated      as mandatory.  A NAS MUST respond to a CoA-Request containing one      or more unsupported Attributes or Attribute values with a CoA-NAK;      a Disconnect-Request containing one or more unsupported Attributes      or Attribute values MUST be answered with a Disconnect-NAK.  State      changes resulting from a CoA-Request MUST be atomic: if the      Request is successful, a CoA-ACK is sent, and all requested      authorization changes MUST be made.  If the CoA-Request is      unsuccessful, a CoA-NAK MUST be sent, and the requestedChiba, et al.                Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003      authorization changes MUST NOT be made.  Similarly, a state change      MUST NOT occur as a result of an unsuccessful Disconnect-Request;      here a Disconnect-NAK MUST be sent.      Since within this specification attributes may be used for      identification, authorization or other purposes, even if a NAS      implements an attribute for use with RADIUS authentication and      accounting, it may not support inclusion of that attribute within      Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages, given the difference      in attribute semantics.  This is true even for attributes      specified within [RFC2865], [RFC2868], [RFC2869] or [RFC3162] as      allowable within Access-Accept messages.      As a result, attributes beyond those specified inSection 3.2.      SHOULD NOT be included within Disconnect or CoA messages since      this could produce unpredictable results.      When using a forwarding proxy, the proxy must be able to alter the      packet as it passes through in each direction.  When the proxy      forwards a Disconnect or CoA-Request, it MAY add a Proxy-State      Attribute, and when the proxy forwards a response, it MUST remove      its Proxy-State Attribute if it added one.  Proxy-State is always      added or removed after any other Proxy-States, but no other      assumptions regarding its location within the list of Attributes      can be made.  Since Disconnect and CoA responses are authenticated      on the entire packet contents, the stripping of the Proxy-State      Attribute invalidates the integrity check - so the proxy needs to      recompute it.  A forwarding proxy MUST NOT modify existing Proxy-      State, State, or Class Attributes present in the packet.      If there are any Proxy-State Attributes in a Disconnect-Request or      CoA-Request received from the server, the forwarding proxy MUST      include those Proxy-State Attributes in its response to the      server.  The forwarding proxy MAY include the Proxy-State      Attributes in the Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request when it      forwards the request, or it MAY omit them in the forwarded      request.  If the forwarding proxy omits the Proxy-State Attributes      in the request, it MUST attach them to the response before sending      it to the server.Chiba, et al.

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 20033.  Attributes   In Disconnect-Request and CoA-Request packets, certain attributes are   used to uniquely identify the NAS as well as a user session on the   NAS.  All NAS identification attributes included in a Request message   MUST match in order for a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request to be   successful; otherwise a Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK SHOULD be sent.   For session identification attributes, the User-Name and Acct-   Session-Id Attributes, if included, MUST match in order for a   Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request to be successful; other session   identification attributes SHOULD match.  Where a mismatch of session   identification attributes is detected, a Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK   SHOULD  be sent.  The ability to use NAS or session identification   attributes to map to unique/multiple sessions is beyond the scope of   this document.  Identification attributes include NAS and session   identification attributes, as described below.

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   Where a Service-Type Attribute with value "Authorize Only" is   included within a CoA-Request or Disconnect-Request, attributes   representing an authorization change MUST NOT be included; only   identification attributes are permitted.  If attributes other than   NAS or session identification attributes are included in such a CoA-   Request, implementations MUST send a CoA-NAK; an Error-Cause   Attribute with value "Unsupported Attribute" MAY be included.   Similarly, if attributes other than NAS or session identification   attributes are included in such a Disconnect-Request, implementations   MUST send a Disconnect-NAK; an Error-Cause Attribute with value   "Unsupported Attribute" MAY be included.3.1.  Error-Cause   Description      It is possible that the NAS cannot honor Disconnect-Request or      CoA-Request messages for some reason.  The Error-Cause Attribute      provides more detail on the cause of the problem.  It MAY be      included within Disconnect-ACK, Disconnect-NAK and CoA-NAK      messages.      A summary of the Error-Cause Attribute format is shown below.

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003      400-499 represent fatal errors committed by the RADIUS server, so      that they MAY be sent within CoA-NAK or Disconnect-NAK messages,      and MUST NOT be sent within CoA-ACK or Disconnect-ACK messages.      Values 500-599 represent fatal errors occurring on a NAS or RADIUS      proxy, so that they MAY be sent within CoA-NAK and Disconnect-NAK      messages, and MUST NOT be sent within CoA-ACK or Disconnect-ACK      messages.  Error-Cause values SHOULD be logged by the RADIUS      server.  Error-Code values (expressed in decimal) include:    #     Value   ---    -----   201    Residual Session Context Removed   202    Invalid EAP Packet (Ignored)   401    Unsupported Attribute   402    Missing Attribute   403    NAS Identification Mismatch   404    Invalid Request   405    Unsupported Service   406    Unsupported Extension   501    Administratively Prohibited   502    Request Not Routable (Proxy)   503    Session Context Not Found   504    Session Context Not Removable   505    Other Proxy Processing Error   506    Resources Unavailable   507    Request Initiated   "Residual Session Context Removed" is sent in response to a   Disconnect-Request if the user session is no longer active, but   residual session context was found and successfully removed.  This   value is only sent within a Disconnect-ACK and MUST NOT be sent   within a CoA-ACK, Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK.   "Invalid EAP Packet (Ignored)" is a non-fatal error that MUST NOT be   sent by implementations of this specification.   "Unsupported Attribute" is a fatal error sent if a Request contains   an attribute (such as a Vendor-Specific or EAP-Message Attribute)   that is not supported.   "Missing Attribute" is a fatal error sent if critical attributes   (such as NAS or session identification attributes) are missing from a   Request.   "NAS Identification Mismatch" is a fatal error sent if one or more   NAS identification attributes (seeSection 3.) do not match the   identity of the NAS receiving the Request.Chiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 14]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   "Invalid Request" is a fatal error sent if some other aspect of the   Request is invalid, such as if one or more attributes (such as EAP-   Message Attribute(s)) are not formatted properly.   "Unsupported Service" is a fatal error sent if a Service-Type   Attribute included with the Request is sent with an invalid or   unsupported value.   "Unsupported Extension" is a fatal error sent due to lack of support   for an extension such as Disconnect and/or CoA messages.  This will   typically be sent by a proxy receiving an ICMP port unreachable   message after attempting to forward a Request to the NAS.   "Administratively Prohibited" is a fatal error sent if the NAS is   configured to prohibit honoring of Request messages for the specified   session.   "Request Not Routable" is a fatal error which MAY be sent by a RADIUS   proxy and MUST NOT be sent by a NAS.  It indicates that the RADIUS   proxy was unable to determine how to route the Request to the NAS.   For example, this can occur if the required entries are not present   in the proxy's realm routing table.   "Session Context Not Found" is a fatal error sent if the session   context identified in the Request does not exist on the NAS.   "Session Context Not Removable" is a fatal error sent in response to   a Disconnect-Request if the NAS was able to locate the session   context, but could not remove it for some reason.  It MUST NOT be   sent within a CoA-ACK, CoA-NAK or Disconnect-ACK, only within a   Disconnect-NAK.   "Other Proxy Processing Error" is a fatal error sent in response to a   Request that could not be processed by a proxy, for reasons other   than routing.   "Resources Unavailable" is a fatal error sent when a Request could   not be honored due to lack of available NAS resources (memory, non-   volatile storage, etc.).   "Request Initiated" is a fatal error sent in response to a Request   including a Service-Type Attribute with a value of "Authorize Only".   It indicates that the Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request has not been   honored, but that a RADIUS Access-Request including a Service-Type   Attribute with value "Authorize Only" is being sent to the RADIUS   server.Chiba, et al.

[Note 3] When included within a CoA-Request, these attributes   represent an authorization change request.  When one of these   attributes is omitted from a CoA-Request, the NAS assumes that the   attribute value is to remain unchanged.  Attributes included in a   CoA-Request replace all existing value(s) of the same attribute(s).   [Note 4] When included within a successful Disconnect-Request (where   a Disconnect-ACK is subsequently sent), the Class Attribute SHOULD be   sent unmodified by the client to the accounting server in the   Accounting Stop packet.  If the Disconnect-Request is unsuccessful,   then the Class Attribute is not processed.   [Note 5] When included within a CoA-Request, these attributes   represent an authorization change request.  Where tunnel attribute(s)   are sent within a successful CoA-Request, all existing tunnel   attributes are removed and replaced by the new attribute(s).Chiba, et al.

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   [Note 6] When included within a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request, a   Service-Type Attribute with value "Authorize Only" indicates that the   Request only contains NAS and session identification attributes, and   that the NAS should attempt reauthorization by sending an Access-   Request with a Service-Type Attribute with value "Authorize Only".   This enables a usage model akin to that supported in Diameter, thus   easing translation between the two protocols.  Support for the   Service-Type Attribute is optional within CoA-Request and   Disconnect-Request messages; where it is not included, the Request   message may contain both identification and authorization attributes.   A NAS that does not support the Service-Type Attribute with the value   "Authorize Only" within a Disconnect-Request MUST respond with a   Disconnect-NAK including no Service-Type Attribute; an Error-Cause   Attribute with value "Unsupported Service" MAY be included.  A NAS   that does not support the Service-Type Attribute with the value   "Authorize Only" within a CoA-Request MUST respond with a CoA-NAK   including no Service-Type Attribute; an Error-Cause Attribute with   value "Unsupported Service" MAY be included.   A NAS supporting the "Authorize Only" Service-Type value within   Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages MUST respond with a   Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK respectively, containing a Service-Type   Attribute with value "Authorize Only", and an Error-Cause Attribute   with value "Request Initiated".  The NAS then sends an Access-Request   to the RADIUS server with a Service-Type Attribute with value   "Authorize Only".  This Access-Request SHOULD contain the NAS   attributes from the Disconnect or CoA-Request, as well as the session   attributes from the Request legal for inclusion in an Access-Request   as specified in [RFC2865], [RFC2868], [RFC2869] and [RFC3162].  As   noted in[RFC2869] Section 5.19, a Message-Authenticator attribute   SHOULD be included in an Access-Request that does not contain a   User-Password, CHAP-Password, ARAP-Password or EAP-Message Attribute.   The RADIUS server should send back an Access-Accept to (re-)authorize   the session or an Access-Reject to refuse to (re-)authorize it.   [Note 7] The State Attribute is available to be sent by the RADIUS   server to the NAS in a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request message and   MUST be sent unmodified from the NAS to the RADIUS server in a   subsequent ACK or NAK message.  If a Service-Type Attribute with   value "Authorize Only" is included in a Disconnect-Request or CoA-   Request along with a State Attribute, then the State Attribute MUST   be sent unmodified from the NAS to the RADIUS server in the resulting   Access-Request sent to the RADIUS server, if any.  The State   Attribute is also available to be sent by the RADIUS server to the   NAS in a CoA-Request that also includes a Termination-Action   Attribute with the value of RADIUS-Request.  If the client performs   the Termination-Action by sending a new Access-Request upon   termination of the current session, it MUST include the StateChiba, et al.

A Disconnect-   Request or CoA-Request packet must have only zero or one State   Attribute.  Usage of the State Attribute is implementation dependent.   If the RADIUS server does not recognize the State Attribute in the   Access-Request, then it MUST send an Access-Reject.   The following table defines the meaning of the above table entries.   0   This attribute MUST NOT be present in packet.   0+  Zero or more instances of this attribute MAY be present in       packet.   0-1 Zero or one instance of this attribute MAY be present in packet.   1   Exactly one instance of this attribute MUST be present in packet.4.  IANA Considerations   This document uses the RADIUS [RFC2865] namespace, see   <http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types>.  There are six   updates for the section: RADIUS Packet Type Codes.  These Packet   Types are allocated in [RADIANA]:   40 - Disconnect-Request   41 - Disconnect-ACK   42 - Disconnect-NAK   43 - CoA-Request   44 - CoA-ACK   45 - CoA-NAK   Allocation of a new Service-Type value for "Authorize Only" is   requested.  This document also uses the UDP [RFC768] namespace, see   <http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers>.  The authors request   a port assignment from the Registered ports range.  Finally, this   specification allocates the Error-Cause Attribute (101) with the   following decimal values:    #     Value   ---    -----   201    Residual Session Context Removed   202    Invalid EAP Packet (Ignored)   401    Unsupported Attribute   402    Missing Attribute   403    NAS Identification Mismatch   404    Invalid Request   405    Unsupported Service   406    Unsupported Extension   501    Administratively Prohibited   502    Request Not Routable (Proxy)Chiba, et al.

Security Considerations5.1.  Authorization Issues   Where a NAS is shared by multiple providers, it is undesirable for   one provider to be able to send Disconnect-Request or CoA-Requests   affecting the sessions of another provider.   A NAS or RADIUS proxy MUST silently discard Disconnect-Request or   CoA-Request messages from untrusted sources.  By default, a RADIUS   proxy SHOULD perform a "reverse path forwarding" (RPF) check to   verify that a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request originates from an   authorized RADIUS server.  In addition, it SHOULD be possible to   explicitly authorize additional sources of Disconnect-Request or   CoA-Request packets relating to certain classes of sessions.  For   example, a particular source can be explicitly authorized to send   CoA-Request messages relating to users within a set of realms.   To perform the RPF check, the proxy uses the session identification   attributes included in Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages, in   order to determine the RADIUS server(s) to which an equivalent   Access-Request could be routed.  If the source address of the   Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request is within this set, then the   Request is forwarded; otherwise it MUST be silently discarded.   Typically the proxy will extract the realm from the Network Access   Identifier [RFC2486] included within the User-Name Attribute, and   determine the corresponding RADIUS servers in the proxy routing   tables.  The RADIUS servers for that realm  are then compared against   the source address of the packet.  Where no RADIUS proxy is present,   the RPF check will need to be performed by the NAS itself.   Since authorization to send a Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request is   determined based on the source address and the corresponding shared   secret, the NASes or proxies SHOULD configure a different shared   secret for each RADIUS server.Chiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 21]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 20035.2.  Impersonation   [RFC2865]Section 3 states:      A RADIUS server MUST use the source IP address of the RADIUS UDP      packet to decide which shared secret to use, so that RADIUS      requests can be proxied.   When RADIUS requests are forwarded by a proxy, the NAS-IP-Address or   NAS-IPv6-Address Attributes will typically not match the source   address observed by the RADIUS server.  Since the NAS-Identifier   Attribute need not contain an FQDN, this attribute may not be   resolvable to the source address observed by the RADIUS server, even   when no proxy is present.   As a result, the authenticity check performed by a RADIUS server or   proxy does not verify the correctness of NAS identification   attributes.  This makes it possible for a rogue NAS to forge NAS-IP-   Address, NAS-IPv6-Address or NAS-Identifier Attributes within a   RADIUS Access-Request in order to impersonate another NAS.  It is   also possible for a rogue NAS to forge session identification   attributes such as the Called-Station-Id, Calling-Station-Id, or   Originating-Line-Info [NASREQ].  This could fool the RADIUS server   into sending Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages containing   forged session identification attributes to a NAS targeted by an   attacker.   To address these vulnerabilities RADIUS proxies SHOULD check whether   NAS identification attributes (seeSection 3.) match the source   address of packets originating from the NAS.  Where one or more   attributes do not match, Disconnect-Request or CoA-Request messages   SHOULD be silently discarded.   Such a check may not always be possible.  Since the NAS-Identifier   Attribute need not correspond to an FQDN, it may not be resolvable to   an IP address to be matched against the source address.  Also, where   a NAT exists between the RADIUS client and proxy, checking the NAS-   IP-Address or NAS-IPv6-Address Attributes may not be feasible.5.3.  IPsec Usage Guidelines   In addition to security vulnerabilities unique to Disconnect or CoA   messages, the protocol exchanges described in this document are   susceptible to the same vulnerabilities as RADIUS [RFC2865].  It is   RECOMMENDED that IPsec be employed to afford better security.Chiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 22]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   Implementations of this specification SHOULD support IPsec [RFC2401]   along with IKE [RFC2409] for key management.  IPsec ESP [RFC2406]   with a non-null transform SHOULD be supported, and IPsec ESP with a   non-null encryption transform and authentication support SHOULD be   used to provide per-packet confidentiality, authentication, integrity   and replay protection.  IKE SHOULD be used for key management.   Within RADIUS [RFC2865], a shared secret is used for hiding   Attributes such as User-Password, as well as used in computation of   the Response Authenticator.  In RADIUS accounting [RFC2866], the   shared secret is used in computation of both the Request   Authenticator and the Response Authenticator.   Since in RADIUS a shared secret is used to provide confidentiality as   well as integrity protection and authentication, only use of IPsec   ESP with a non-null transform can provide security services   sufficient to substitute for RADIUS application-layer security.   Therefore, where IPsec AH or ESP null is used, it will typically   still be necessary to configure a RADIUS shared secret.   Where RADIUS is run over IPsec ESP with a non-null transform, the   secret shared between the NAS and the RADIUS server MAY NOT be   configured.  In this case, a shared secret of zero length MUST be   assumed.  However, a RADIUS server that cannot know whether incoming   traffic is IPsec-protected MUST be configured with a non-null RADIUS   shared secret.   When IPsec ESP is used with RADIUS, per-packet authentication,   integrity and replay protection MUST be used.  3DES-CBC MUST be   supported as an encryption transform and AES-CBC SHOULD be supported.   AES-CBC SHOULD be offered as a preferred encryption transform if   supported.  HMAC-SHA1-96 MUST be supported as an authentication   transform.  DES-CBC SHOULD NOT be used as the encryption transform.   A typical IPsec policy for an IPsec-capable RADIUS client is   "Initiate IPsec, from me to any destination port UDP 1812".  This   IPsec policy causes an IPsec SA to be set up by the RADIUS client   prior to sending RADIUS traffic.  If some RADIUS servers contacted by   the client do not support IPsec, then a more granular policy will be   required: "Initiate IPsec, from me to IPsec-Capable-RADIUS-Server,   destination port UDP 1812."   For a client implementing this specification, the policy would be   "Accept IPsec, from any to me, destination port UDP 3799".  This   causes the RADIUS client to accept (but not require) use of IPsec.   It may not be appropriate to require IPsec for all RADIUS servers   connecting to an IPsec-enabled RADIUS client, since some RADIUS   servers may not support IPsec.Chiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 23]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   For an IPsec-capable RADIUS server, a typical IPsec policy is "Accept   IPsec, from any to me, destination port 1812".  This causes the   RADIUS server to accept (but not require) use of IPsec.  It may not   be appropriate to require IPsec for all RADIUS clients connecting to   an IPsec-enabled RADIUS server, since some RADIUS clients may not   support IPsec.   For servers implementing this specification, the policy would be   "Initiate IPsec, from me to any, destination port UDP 3799".  This   causes the RADIUS server to initiate IPsec when sending RADIUS   extension traffic to any RADIUS client.  If some RADIUS clients   contacted by the server do not support IPsec, then a more granular   policy will be required, such as "Initiate IPsec, from me to IPsec-   capable-RADIUS-client, destination port UDP 3799".   Where IPsec is used for security, and no RADIUS shared secret is   configured, it is important that the RADIUS client and server perform   an authorization check.  Before enabling a host to act as a RADIUS   client, the RADIUS server SHOULD check whether the host is authorized   to provide network access.  Similarly, before enabling a host to act   as a RADIUS server, the RADIUS client SHOULD check whether the host   is authorized for that role.   RADIUS servers can be configured with the IP addresses (for IKE   Aggressive Mode with pre-shared keys) or FQDNs (for certificate   authentication) of RADIUS clients.  Alternatively, if a separate   Certification Authority (CA) exists for RADIUS clients, then the   RADIUS server can configure this CA as a trust anchor [RFC3280] for   use with IPsec.   Similarly, RADIUS clients can be configured with the IP addresses   (for IKE Aggressive Mode with pre-shared keys) or FQDNs (for   certificate authentication) of RADIUS servers.  Alternatively, if a   separate CA exists for RADIUS servers, then the RADIUS client can   configure this CA as a trust anchor for use with IPsec.   Since unlike SSL/TLS, IKE does not permit certificate policies to be   set on a per-port basis, certificate policies need to apply to all   uses of IPsec on RADIUS clients and servers.  In IPsec deployment   supporting only certificate authentication, a management station   initiating an IPsec-protected telnet session to the RADIUS server   would need to obtain a certificate chaining to the RADIUS client CA.   Issuing such a certificate might not be appropriate if the management   station was not authorized as a RADIUS client.   Where RADIUS clients may obtain their IP address dynamically (such as   an Access Point supporting DHCP), Main Mode with pre-shared keys   [RFC2409] SHOULD NOT be used, since this requires use of a groupChiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 24]

RFC 3576       Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS      July 2003   pre-shared key; instead, Aggressive Mode SHOULD be used.  Where   RADIUS client addresses are statically assigned, either Aggressive   Mode or Main Mode MAY be used.  With certificate authentication, Main   Mode SHOULD be used.   Care needs to be taken with IKE Phase 1 Identity Payload selection in   order to enable mapping of identities to pre-shared keys, even with   Aggressive Mode.  Where the ID_IPV4_ADDR or ID_IPV6_ADDR Identity   Payloads are used and addresses are dynamically assigned, mapping of   identities to keys is not possible, so that group pre-shared keys are   still a practical necessity.  As a result, the ID_FQDN identity   payload SHOULD be employed in situations where Aggressive mode is   utilized along with pre-shared keys and IP addresses are dynamically   assigned.  This approach also has other advantages, since it allows   the RADIUS server and client to configure themselves based on the   fully qualified domain name of their peers.   Note that with IPsec, security services are negotiated at the   granularity of an IPsec SA, so that RADIUS exchanges requiring a set   of security services different from those negotiated with existing   IPsec SAs will need to negotiate a new IPsec SA.  Separate IPsec SAs   are also advisable where quality of service considerations dictate   different handling RADIUS conversations.  Attempting to apply   different quality of service to connections handled by the same IPsec   SA can result in reordering, and falling outside the replay window.   For a discussion of the issues, see [RFC2983].5.4.  Replay Protection   Where IPsec replay protection is not used, the Event-Timestamp (55)   Attribute [RFC2869] SHOULD be included within all messages.  When   this attribute is present, both the NAS and the RADIUS server MUST   check that the Event-Timestamp Attribute is current within an   acceptable time window.  If the Event-Timestamp Attribute is not   current, then the message MUST be silently discarded.  This implies   the need for time synchronization within the network, which can be   achieved by a variety of means, including secure NTP, as described in   [NTPAUTH].   Both the NAS and the RADIUS server SHOULD be configurable to silently   discard messages lacking an Event-Timestamp Attribute.  A default   time window of 300 seconds is recommended.Chiba, et al.                Informational                     [Page 25]
