Introduction   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.   In particular, it describes a set of managed objects that allow the   delegation of management scripts to distributed managers.   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 inRFC 2119 [21].2.  The SNMP Management Framework   The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major   components:      o   An overall architecture, described inRFC 2271 [1].      o   Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for          the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure          of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described          in STD 16,RFC 1155 [2], STD 16,RFC 1212 [3] andRFC 1215          [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58,RFC 2578 [5],RFC 2579 [6] andRFC 2580 [7].Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999      o   Message protocols for transferring management information. The          first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1          and described in STD 15,RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the          SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards          track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described inRFC 1901          [9] andRFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message          protocol is called SNMPv3 and described inRFC 1906 [10],RFC2272 [11] andRFC 2274 [12].      o   Protocol operations for accessing management information. The          first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is          described in STD 15,RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol          operations and associated PDU formats is described inRFC 1905          [13].      o   A set of fundamental applications described inRFC 2273 [14]          and the view-based access control mechanism described inRFC2275 [15].   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed   the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are   defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.   MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate   translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically   equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no   translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable   information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in   SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine   readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the   MIB.3.  Overview   The Script MIB module defined in this memo can be used to delegate   management functions to distributed managers. Management functions   are defined as management scripts written in a management scripting   language. This MIB makes no assumptions about the language itself and   even allows distribution of compiled native code, if an   implementation is able to execute native code under the control of   this MIB.   The Script MIB defines a standard interface for the delegation of   management functions based on the Internet management framework. In   particular, it provides the following capabilities:   1.   Capabilities to transfer management scripts to a distributed        manager.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   2.   Capabilities for initiating, suspending, resuming and        terminating management scripts.   3.   Capabilities to transfer arguments for management scripts.   4.   Capabilities to monitor and control running management scripts.   5.   Capabilities to transfer the results produced by running        management scripts.   This memo does not address any additional topics like the generation   of notifications or how to address remote agents from a Script MIB   implementation.3.1.  Terms   This section defines the terms used throughout this memo.   o    A `distributed manager' is a processing entity which is capable        of performing network management functions. For the scope of        this memo, a distributed manager is assumed to implement the        Script MIB.   o    A `higher-level manager', or just `manager', is a processing        entity or human who initiates and controls the operations        performed by one or more distributed managers.   o    A `management script' is a set of instructions written in an        executable language which implements a management function.   o    A `management scripting language' is a language used to write        management scripts. Note, the term scripting language does not        imply that the language must have the characteristics of        scripting languages (e.g. string orientation, interpretation,        weak typing). The MIB defined in this memo also allows to        control management scripts written in arbitrary compiled system        programming languages.   o    A `distributed manager' can be decomposed into an `SNMP entity'        which implements the Script MIB defined in this memo and the        `runtime system' that executes scripts. The Script MIB sees the        runtime system as the managed resource which is controlled by        the MIB.        The runtime system can act as an SNMP application, according to        the SNMP architecture defined inRFC 2271 [1]. For example, a        runtime system which sends SNMP requests to other SNMP entities        will act as a command generator application.

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999        applications in the runtime system may use the same SNMP engine        which also serves the command responder application used to        implement the Script MIB, but they are not required to do so.   o    A `launch button' is the conceptual button used to start the        execution of a management script. It assignes control parameters        to a management script. In particular, it defines the ownership        of the scripts started from a launch button. The ownership can        be used by the language runtime system to enforce security        profiles on a running management script.4.  Requirements and Design Issues   This section discusses some general requirements that have influenced   the design of the Script MIB.   o    The Script MIB must not make any assumptions about specific        languages or runtime systems.   o    The Script MIB must provide mechanisms that help to avoid new        management problems (e.g. script version problems).   o    The Script MIB must provide SNMP interfaces to all functions        required to delegate management scripts. However, other        protocols might be used in addition if they provide a        significant improvement in terms of convenience for        implementation or performance.   o    The Script MIB must be organized so that access can be        controlled effectively by using view-based access control [15].   The following sections discuss some design issues in more detail.4.1.  Script Languages   The Script MIB defined in this memo makes no assumption about the   script language. This MIB can therefore be used in combination with   different languages (such as Tcl or Java) and/or different versions   of the same language. No assumptions are made about the format in   which management scripts are transferred.   The Script MIB provides access to information about the language   versions supported by a Script MIB implementation so that a manager   can learn about the capabilities provided by an implementation.   Languages and language versions are identified as follows:Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   1.   The language is identified by an object identifier. Object        identifier for well-known languages will be registered by the        Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Enterprise specific        languages can also be registered in the enterprise specific OID        subtree.   2.   A particular version of a language is identified by a language        version number. The combination of a language object identifier        and a language version is in most cases sufficient to decide        whether a script can be executed or not.   3.   Different implementations of the same language version might        have differences due to ambiguities in the language definition        or additional language features provided by an implementor. An        additional object identifier value is provided which identifies        the organization which provides the implementation of a        language. This might be used by scripts that require a        particular implementation of a language.   4.   Finally, there might be different versions of a language        implementation. A version number for the language implementation        is provided so that the manager can also distinguish between        different implementations from the same organization of a        particular language version.   The version numbers can either be used by a manager to select the   language version required to execute a particular script or to select   a script that fits the language versions supported by a particular   Script MIB implementation.   An additional table lists language extensions that provide features   not provided by the core language. Language extensions are usually   required to turn a general purpose language into a management   language. In many cases, language extensions will come in the form of   libraries that provide capabilities like sending SNMP requests to   remote SNMP agents or accessing the local MIB instrumentation. Every   extension is associated with a language and carries its own version   numbers.4.2.  Script Transfer   There are two different ways to transfer management scripts to a   distributed manager. The first approach requires that the manager   pushes the script to the distributed manager. This is therefore   called the `push model'. The second approach is the `pull model'   where the manager tells the distributed manager the location of the   script and the distributed manager retrieves the script itself.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   The MIB defined in this memo supports both models. The `push model'   is realized by a table which allows a manager to write scripts by   sending a sequence of SNMP set requests. The script can be split into   several fragments in order to deal with SNMP message size   limitations.   The `pull model' is realized by the use of Uniform Resource Locators   (URLs) [17] that point to the script source. The manager writes the   URL which points to the script source to the distributed manager by   sending an SNMP set request. The distributed manager is then   responsible for retrieving the document using the protocol specified   in the URL. This allows the use of protocols like FTP [18] or HTTP   [19] to transfer large management scripts efficiently.   The Script MIB also allows management scripts that are hard-wired   into the Script MIB implementation. Built-in scripts can either be   implemented in a language runtime system, or they can be built   natively into the Script MIB implementation. The implementation of   the `push model' or the `pull model' is not required.   Scripts can be stored in non-volatile storage. This allows a   distributed manager to restart scripts if it is restarted (off-line   restart). A manager is not required to push scripts back into the   distributed manager after a restart if the script is backed up in   non-volatile storage.   Every script is identified by an administratively assigned name. This   name may be used to derive the name which is used to access the   script in non-volatile storage. This mapping is implementation   specific. However, the mapping must ensure that the Script MIB   implementation can handle scripts with the same administrative name   owned by different managers. One way to achieve this is to use the   script owner in addition to the script name in order to derive the   internal name used to refer to a particular script in non-volatile   storage.4.3.  Script Execution   The Script MIB permits execution of several instances of the same or   different management scripts. Script arguments are passed as OCTET   STRING values. Scripts return a single result value which is also an   OCTET STRING value. The semantic interpretation of result values is   left to the invoking manager or other management scripts. A script   invoker must understand the format and semantics of both the   arguments and the results of the scripts that it invokes.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   Scripts can also export complex results through a MIB interface. This   allows a management application to access and use script results in   the same manner as it processes any other MIB data. However, the   Script MIB does not provide any special support for the   implementation of MIBs through scripts.   Runtime errors terminate active scripts. An exit code and a human   readable error message is left in the MIB. A notification containing   the exit code, the error message and a timestamp is generated when a   script terminates with an error exit code.   Script arguments and results do not have any size limitations other   than the limits imposed by the SMI and the SNMP protocol. However,   implementations of this MIB might have further restrictions. A script   designer might therefore choose to return the results via other   mechanisms if the script results can be very large. One possibility   is to return a URL as a script result which points to the file   containing the script output.   Executing scripts have a status object attached which allows script   execution to be suspended, resumed, or aborted.  The precise   semantics of the suspend and resume operations are language and   runtime system dependent. Some runtime systems may choose to not   implement the suspend/resume operations.   A history of finished scripts is kept in the MIB. A script invoker   can collect results at a later point in time (offline operation).   Control objects can be used to control how entries in the history are   aged out if the table fills up.5.  The Structure of the MIB   This section presents the structure of the MIB. The objects are   arranged into the following groups:   o    language group (smLanguageGroup)   o    script group (smScriptGroup)   o    script code group (smCodeGroup)   o    script launch group (smLaunchGroup)   o    running script group (smRunGroup)Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 19995.1.  The smLanguageGroup   The smLanguageGroup is used to provide information about the   languages and the language extensions supported by a Script MIB   implementation.  This group includes two tables.  The smLangTable   lists all languages supported by a Script MIB implementation and the   smExtsnTable lists the extensions that are available for a given   language.5.2.  The smScriptGroup   The smScriptGroup consists of a single table, called the   smScriptTable. The smScriptTable lists all scripts known to a Script   MIB implementation. The smScriptTable contains objects that allow the   following operations:   o    download scripts from a URL (pull model)   o    read scripts from local non-volatile storage   o    store scripts in local non-volatile storage   o    delete scripts from local non-volatile storage   o    list permanent scripts (that can not be changed or removed)   o    read and modify the script status (enabled, disabled, editing)   A status object called smScriptOperStatus allows a manager to obtain   the current status of a script. It is also used to provide an error   indication if an attempt to invoke one of the operations listed above   fails. The status change of a script can be requested by modifying   the associated smScriptAdminStatus object.   The source of a script is defined by the smScriptSource object. This   object may contain a URL pointing to a remote location which provides   access to the management script. The script source is read from the   smCodeTable (described below) or from non-volatile storage if the   smScriptSource object contains an empty URL. The smScriptStorageType   object is used to distinguish between scripts read from non-volatile   storage and scripts read from the smCodeTable.   Scripts are automatically loaded once the smScriptAdminStatus object   is set to `enabled'.  Loading a script includes retrieving the script   (probably from a remote location), compiling the script for languages   that require a compilation step, and making the code available to the   runtime system.  The smScriptOperStatus object is used to indicate   the status of the loading process. This object will start in theLevi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                     [Page 9]

Errors during the retrieval or compilation phase   will result in an error state such as `compilationFailed'.5.3.  The smCodeGroup   The smCodeGroup consists of a single table, called the smCodeTable,   which provides the ability to transfer and modify scripts via SNMP   set requests.  In particular, the smCodeTable allows the following   operations:   o    download scripts via SNMP (push model)   o    modify scripts via SNMP (editing)   The smCodeTable lists the code of a script. A script can be   fragmented over multiple rows of the smCodeTable in order to handle   SNMP message size limitations. Modifications of the smCodeTable are   only possible if the associated smScriptOperStatus object has the   value `editing'.  The Script MIB implementation reloads the modified   script code once the smScriptOperStatus changes to `enabled' again.   The implementation of the smCodeGroup is optional.5.4.  The smLaunchGroup   The smLaunchGroup contains a single table, the smLaunchTable. An   entry in the smLaunchTable represents a launch button which can be   used to start a script. The smLaunchTable allows the following   operations:   o    associate a script with an owner used during script execution   o    provide arguments and parameters for script invocation   o    invoke scripts with a single set operation   The smLaunchTable describes scripts and their parameters that are   ready to be launched. An entry in the smLaunchTable attaches an   argument to a script and control values which, for example, define   the maximum number of times that a script invoked from a particular   row in the smLaunchTable may be running concurrently.   An entry in the smLaunchTable also defines the owner which will be   used to associate permissions with the script execution.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 10]

The smRunGroup   The smRunGroup contains a single table, called the smRunTable, which   lists all scripts that are currently running or have terminated   recently. The smRunTable contains objects that allow the following   operations:   o    retrieve status information from running scripts   o    control running scripts (suspend, resume, abort)   o    retrieve results from recently terminated scripts   o    control the remaining maximum lifetime of a running script   o    control how long script results are accessible   Every row in the smRunTable contains the argument passed during   script invocation, the result produced by the script and the script   exit code.  The smRunTable also provides information about the   current run state as well as start and end time-stamps. There are   three writable objects in the smRunTable. The smRunLifeTime object   defines the maximum time a running script may run before it is   terminated by the Script MIB implementation. The smRunExpireTime   object defines the time that a completed script can stay in the   smRunTable before it is aged out. The smRunControl object allows   running scripts to be suspended, resumed, or aborted.6.

The            consequence is that the script invoker has no reliable            way to determine the smRunIndex value for this script            invocation and that the invoker has therefore no way            to obtain the results from this script invocation. The            special value 0 is however useful for scheduled script            invocations.            If this object is set, the following checks must be            performed:            1) The value of the smLaunchOperStatus object in this               entry of the smLaunchTable must be `enabled'.            2) The values of smLaunchScriptOwner and               smLaunchScriptName of this row must identify an               existing entry in the smScriptTable.            3) The value of smScriptOperStatus of this entry must               be `enabled'.            4) The principal performing the set operation must have               read access to the script. This must be checked by               calling the isAccessAllowed abstract service interface               defined inRFC 2271 on the row in the smScriptTable               identified by smLaunchScriptOwner and smLaunchScriptName.               The isAccessAllowed abstract service interface must be               called on all columnar objects in the smScriptTable with               a MAX-ACCESS value different than `not-accessible'. The               test fails as soon as a call indicates that access is               not allowed.            5) If the value provided by the set operation is not 0,               a check must be made that the value is currently not               in use. Otherwise, if the value provided by the set               operation is 0, a suitable unused value must be               generated.            6) The number of currently executing scripts invoked               from this smLaunchTable entry must be less than               smLaunchMaxRunning.            Attempts to start a script will fail with an            inconsistentValue error if one of the checks described            above fails.

The manager first checks the smLanguageTable and the        smExtensionTable in order to select the appropriate script or        language.   2.   The manager creates a row in the smScriptTable by issuing an        SNMP set-request. The smScriptRowStatus object is set to        `createAndWait' and the smScriptSource object is set to an empty        string. The smScriptLanguage object is set to the language in        which the script was written. The smScriptStorageType object is        set to `volatile' to indicate that the script will be loaded via        the smCodeTable.  The smScriptOwner is set to a string which        identifies the principal who owns the new row. The smScriptName        defines the administratively assigned unique name for the        script.   3.   The manager sets the smScriptRowStatus object to `active' and        the smScriptAdminStatus object to `editing'.   4.   The manager pushes the script to the distributed manager by        issuing a couple of SNMP set-requests to fill the smCodeTable.   5.   Once the whole script has been transferred, the manager sends a        set-request to set the smScriptAdminStatus object to `enabled'.        The Script MIB implementation now makes the script accessible to        the runtime system. This might include the compilation of the        script if the language requires a compilation step.   6.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is either `enabled' or one of the error status codes.  The        script can only be used if the value of smScriptOperStatus is        `enabled'.   7.   If the manager wants to store the script in local non-volatile        storage, it should send a set-request which changes the        smScriptStorageType object to `nonVolatile'.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 41]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 19997.2.  Pulling a script from a URL   This example explains the steps performed by a manager to cause a   distributed manager to pull a script from a URL.   1.   The manager first checks the smLanguageTable and the        smExtensionTable in order to select the appropriate script or        language.   2.   The manager creates a row in the smScriptTable by issuing an        SNMP set-request. The smScriptRowStatus object is set to        `createAndWait' and the smScriptSource object is set to the URL        which points to the script source. The smScriptLanguage object        is set to the language in which the script was written. The        smScriptOwner is set to a string which identifies the principal        who owns the new row. The smScriptName defines the        administratively assigned unique name for the script.   3.   The manager sets the smScriptRowStatus object to `active'.   4.   The manager sends a set-request to set the smScriptAdminStatus        object to `enabled'. The Script MIB implementation now makes the        script accessible to the runtime system. This causes a retrieval        operation to pull the script from the URL stored in        smScriptSource. This retrieval operation might be followed by a        compile operation if the language requires a compilation step.   5.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is either `enabled' or one of the error status codes.  The        script can only be used if the value of smScriptOperStatus is        `enabled'.   6.   If the manager wants to store the script in local non-volatile        storage, it should send a set-request which changes the        smScriptStorageType object to `nonVolatile'.7.3.  Modifying an existing script   This section explains how a manager can modify a script by sending   SNMP set-requests.   1.   First, the script is de-activated by setting the        smScriptAdminStatus to `disabled'.   2.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is `disabled'.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 42]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   3.   The manager sets smScriptSource to an empty string and        smScriptAdminStatus to `editing'. This makes the script source        available in the smCodeTable.   4.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is `editing'.   5.   The manager sends SNMP set-requests to modify the script in the        smCodeTable.   6.   The manager sends a set-request to set the smScriptAdminStatus        object to `enabled'. The Script MIB implementation now makes the        script accessible to the runtime system. This might include the        compilation of the script if the language requires a compilation        step.   7.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is either `enabled' or one of the error status codes.  The        script can only be used if the value of smScriptOperStatus is        `enabled'.7.4.  Removing an existing script   This section explains how a manager can remove a script from a   distributed manager.   1.   First, the manager sets the smScriptAdminStatus to `disabled'.        This will ensure that no new scripts can be started while        running scripts finish their execution.   2.   The manager polls the smScriptOperStatus object until the value        is `disabled'.   3.   The manager sends an SNMP set-request to change the        smScriptRowStatus object to `destroy'. This will remove the row        and all associated resources from the Script MIB implementation.7.5.  Creating a launch button   This section explains how a manager can create a launch button for   starting a script.   1.   The manager, who is identified by an smLaunchOwner value, first        chooses a name for the new row in the smLaunchTable. The manager        sends an SNMP set-request to set the smLaunchRowStatus object        for this smLaunchOwner and smLaunchName to `createAndWait'.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 43]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   2.   The manager fills the new smLaunchTable row with all required        parameters. The smLaunchScriptOwner and smLaunchScriptName        values point to the script that should be started from this        launch button.   3.   The manager sends a set-request to change smLaunchAdminStatus to        `enabled' once the new smLaunchTable row is complete.   4.   The manager polls the smLaunchOperStatus object until the value        is `enabled'.7.6.  Launching a script   This section explains the suggested way to launch a script from a   given launch button.   1.   The manager first retrieves the value of smLaunchRunIndexNext        from the launch button selected to start the script.   2.   The manager sends an SNMP set-request to set the smLaunchStart        object to the value obtained in step 1. This will launch the        script if all necessary pre-conditions are satisfied (see the        definition of smLaunchStart for more details). The manager can        also provide the smLaunchArgument in the same set-request that        is used to start the script. Upon successful start, a new row        will be created in the smRunTable indexed by smLaunchOwner,        smLaunchName and the value written to smLaunchStart.   Note, the first step is not required. A manager can also try to guess   an unused value for smRunIndex if he wants to start script in a   single transaction. A manager can also use the special value 0 if he   does not care about the results produced by the script.7.7.  Terminating a script   This section explains two ways to terminate a running script. The   first approach is as follows:   1.   The manager sets the smRunControl object of the running script        or the smLaunchControl object of the launch button used to start        the running script to `abort'. Setting smLaunchControl will        abort all running scripts started from the launch button while        smRunControl will only abort the running script associated with        the smRunControl instance.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 44]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   The second way to terminate a script is to set the smRunLifeTime to   zero which causes the runtime system to terminate the script with a   `lifeTimeExceeded' exit code:   1.   The manager changes the value of smRunLifeTime to 0. This causes        the Script MIB implementation to abort the script because the        remaining life time has expired.   Note, changing the smRunLifeTime value can also be used to increase   the permitted lifetime of a running script. For example, a manager   can choose to set smRunLifeTime to a small fixed time interval and   increase the value periodically. This strategy has the nice effect   that scripts terminate automatically if the manager loses contact   with the Script MIB engine.7.8.  Removing a launch button   This section explains how a manager can remove a launch button from a   distributed manager.   1.   First, the manager sets the smLaunchAdminStatus to        `disabled'. This will ensure that no new scripts can be started        from this launch button while running script will finish their        execution.   2.   The manager polls the smLaunchOperStatus object until the value        is `disabled'.   3.   The manager sends an SNMP set-request to change the        smLaunchRowStatus object to `destroy'. This will remove the row        and all associated resources from the Script MIB implementation.8.  VACM Configuration Examples   This section shows how the view-based access control model defined inRFC 2275 [15] can be configured to control access to the script MIB.8.1.  Sandbox for guests   The first example demonstrates how to configure VACM to give the   members of the VACM group "guest" limited access to the script MIB.   The MIB views defined below give the members of the "guest" group a   sandbox where they can install and start their own scripts, but not   access any other scripts maintained by the Script MIB implementation.      vacmAccessReadView."guest"."".usm.authNoPriv = "guestReadView"      vacmAccessWriteView."guest"."".usm.authNoPriv = "guestWriteView"Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 45]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   The guestReadView grants read access to the smLangTable, the   smExtsnTable and to all the table entries owned by "guest":      guestReadView:          smLangTable                       (included)          smExtsnTable                      (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."guest"     (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."guest"        (included)   The guestWriteView grants write access to all the table entries owned   by "guest":      guestWriteView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."guest"     (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."guest"        (included)8.2.  Sharing scripts   This example demonstrates how VACM can be used to share a repository   of scripts between the members of the "senior" and the members of the   "junior" VACM group:      vacmAccessReadView."junior"."".usm.authNoPriv = "juniorReadView"      vacmAccessWriteView."junior"."".usm.authNoPriv = "juniorWriteView"      juniorReadView:          smLangTable                       (included)          smExtsnTable                      (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."junior"    (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."junior"       (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."utils"     (included)      juniorWriteView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."junior"    (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."junior"       (included)   The definitions above allow the members of the "junior" VACM group to   start the scripts owned by "utils" in addition to the script the   members of the "junior" VACM group installed themself.  This is   accomplished by giving the members of "junior" read access to scripts   in "utils".  This allows members of "junior" to create entries in the   smLauchTable which refer to scripts in "utils", and to launch those   scripts using these entries in the smLaunchTable.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 46]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999      vacmAccessReadView."senior"."".usm.authNoPriv = "seniorReadView"      vacmAccessWriteView."senior"."".usm.authNoPriv = "seniorWriteView"      seniorReadView:          smLangTable                       (included)          smExtsnTable                      (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."senior"    (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."senior"       (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."utils"     (included)      seniorWriteView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."senior"    (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."senior"       (included)          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."utils"     (included)   The definitions for the members of the "senior" VACM group allow to   start the scripts owned by "utils" in addition to the script the   members of the "senior" VACM group installed themself. The third   write access rule in the seniorWriteView also grants the permission   to install scripts owned by "utils". The members of the "senior" VACM   group therefore have the permissions to install and modify scripts   that can be called by the members of the "junior" VACM group.8.3.  Emergency scripts   This example demonstrates how VACM can be used to allow the members   of the "junior" VACM group to launch scripts that are executed with   the permissions associated with the "emergency" owner. This works by   adding the following rules to the juniorReadView and the   juniorWriteView:      juniorReadView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."emergency" (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."emergency"    (included)      juniorWriteView          smLaunchStart."emergency"         (included)          smLaunchArgument."emergency"      (included)   The rules added to the juniorReadView grant read access to the   scripts, the launch buttons and the results owned by "emergency". The   rules added to the juniorWriteView grant write permissions to the   smLaunchStart and smLaunchArgument variables ownded by "emergency".   Members of the "junior" VACM group can therefore start scripts that   will execute under the owner "emergency".Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 47]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999      seniorReadView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."emergency" (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."emergency"    (included)      seniorWriteView:          smScriptObjects.*.*.*."emergency" (included)          smRunObjects.*.*.*."emergency"    (included)   The rules added to the seniorReadView and the seniorWriteView will   give the members of the "senior" VACM group the rights to install   emergency scripts and to configure appropriate launch buttons.9.  IANA Considerations   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for   maintaining a MIB module which provides OID registrations for well-   known languages. The IANA language registry is intented to reduce   interoperability problems by providing a single list of well-known   languages. However, it is of course still possible to register   languages in private OID spaces. Registering languages in private   spaces is especially attractive if a language is used for   experimentation or if a language is only used in environments where   the distribution of MIB modules with the language registration does   not cause any maintenance problems.   Any additions or changes to the list of languages registered via IANA   require Designated Expert Review as defined in the IANA guidelines   [20]. The Designated Expert will be selected by the IESG Area   Director for the IETF Operations and Management Area.10.  Security Considerations   This MIB provides the ability to distribute applications written in   an arbitrary language to remote systems in a network.  The security   features of the languages available in a particular implementation   should be taken into consideration when deploying an implementation   of this MIB.   To facilitate the provisioning of access control by a security   administrator using the View-Based Access Control Model (VACM)   defined inRFC 2275 [15] for tables in which multiple users may need   to independently create or modify entries, the initial index is used   as an "owner index". Such an initial index has a syntax of   SnmpAdminString, and can thus be trivially mapped to a securityName   or groupName as defined in VACM, in accordance with a security   policy.Levi & Schoenwaelder        Standards Track                    [Page 48]

RFC 2592                       Script MIB                       May 1999   All entries in related tables belonging to a particular user will   have the same value for this initial index.  For a given user's   entries in a particular table, the object identifiers for the   information in these entries will have the same subidentifiers   (except for the "column" subidentifier) up to the end of the encoded   owner index. To configure VACM to permit access to this portion of   the table, one would create vacmViewTreeFamilyTable entries with the   value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree including the owner index portion,   and vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "wildcarding" the column subidentifier.   More elaborate configurations are possible.   The VACM access control mechanism described above provides control   over SNMP access to Script MIB objects. There are a number of other   access control issues that are outside of the scope of this MIB. For   example, access control on URLs, especially those that use the file   scheme, must be realized by the underlying operating system. A   mapping of the owner index value to a local operating system security   user identity should be used by an implementation of this MIB to   control access to operating system resources when resolving URLs or   executing scripts.11.
