During this time, RADIUS   implementations have named the data types and have used them in   attribute definitions.  This document updates the specifications to   better follow established practice.  We do this by naming the data   types defined inRFC 6158, which have been used since at least the   publication ofRFC 2865.  We provide an IANA registry for the data   types and update the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to include a   Data Type field for each attribute.  Finally, we recommend that   authors of RADIUS specifications use these types in preference to   existing practice.

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20171.  Introduction   RADIUS specifications have historically defined attributes in terms   of name, value, and data type.  Of these three pieces of information,   the name is recorded by IANA in the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry   but is not otherwise managed or restricted, as discussed in[RFC6929], Section 2.7.1.  The value is managed by IANA and recorded   in that registry.  The data type is not managed or recorded in the   "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry.  Experience has shown that there   is a need to create well-known data types and have them managed   by IANA.   This document defines an IANA RADIUS "Data Type" registry and updates   the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to use those newly defined   data types.  It recommends how both specifications and   implementations should use the data types.  It extends the "RADIUS   Attribute Types" registry to have a data type for each assigned   attribute.   In this section, we review the use of data types in specifications   and implementations.  We highlight ambiguities and inconsistencies.   The rest of this document is devoted to resolving those problems.1.1.  Specification Problems with Data Types   When attributes are defined in the specifications, the terms "Value"   and "String" are used to refer to the contents of an attribute.   However, these names are used recursively and inconsistently.  We   suggest that defining a field to recursively contain itself is   problematic.   A number of data type names and definitions are given in[RFC2865], Section 5, at the bottom of page 25.  These data types are   named and clearly defined.  However, this practice was not continued   in later specifications.   Specifically, [RFC2865] defines attributes of data type "address" to   carry IPv4 addresses.  Despite this definition, [RFC3162] defines   attributes of data type "Address" to carry IPv6 addresses.  We   suggest that the use of the word "address" to refer to disparate   data types is problematic.   Other failures are that [RFC3162] does not give a data type name and   definition for the data types IPv6 address, Interface-Id, or IPv6   prefix.  [RFC2869] defines Event-Timestamp to carry a time but does   not reuse the "time" data type defined in [RFC2865].  Instead, it   just repeats the "time" definition.  [RFC6572] defines multiple   attributes that carry IPv4 prefixes.  However, an "IPv4 prefix" dataDeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   type is not named, defined as a data type, or called out as an   addition to RADIUS.  Further, [RFC6572] does not follow the   recommendations of [RFC6158] and does not explain why it fails to   follow those recommendations.   These ambiguities and inconsistencies need to be resolved.1.2.  Implementation Problems with Data Types   RADIUS implementations often use "dictionaries" to map attribute   names to type values and define data types for each attribute.  The   data types in the dictionaries are defined by each implementation but   correspond to the "ad hoc" data types used in the specifications.   In effect, implementations have seen the need for well-defined   data types and have created them.  It is time for RADIUS   specifications to follow this practice.1.3.  No Mandated Changes   This document mandates no changes to any past, present, or future   RADIUS implementation.  It instead documents existing practice in   order to simplify the process of writing RADIUS specifications,   clarify the interpretation of RADIUS standards, and improve the   communication between specification authors and IANA.   This document suggests that implementations SHOULD use the data types   defined here, in preference to any ad hoc data types currently in   use.  This suggestion should have a minimal effect on   implementations, as most ad hoc data types are compatible with the   ones defined here.  Any difference will typically be limited to the   name of the data type.   This document updates [RFC6158] to permit the data types defined in   the "Data Type" registry as "basic data types", as perSection 2.1 of   [RFC6158].  The recommendations of [RFC6158] are otherwise unchanged.1.4.  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].DeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20172.  Use of Data Types   The data types can be used in two places: specifications and   implementations.  This section discusses both uses and gives guidance   on using the data types.2.1.  Specification Use of Data Types   In this section, we give recommendations for how specifications   should be written using data types.  We first describe how attribute   field names can be consistently named.  We then describe how   attribute definitions should use the data types and deprecate the use   of "ASCII art" for attribute definitions.  We suggest a format for   new attribute definitions.  This format includes recommended fields   and suggestions for how those fields should be described.   Finally, we make recommendations for how new data types should be   defined.2.1.1.  Field Names for Attribute Values   Previous specifications used inconsistent and conflicting names for   the contents of RADIUS attributes.  For example, the term "Value" is   used in[RFC2865], Section 5 to define a field that carries the   contents of an attribute.  It is then used in later sections as the   subfield of attribute contents.  The result is that the field is   defined as recursively containing itself.  Similarly, "String" is   used both as a data type and as a subfield of other data types.   We correct this ambiguity by using context-specific names for various   fields of attributes and data types.  It then becomes clear that, for   example, a field called "VSA-Data" must contain different data than a   field called "EVS-Data".  Each new name is defined where it is used.   We also define the following term:      Attr-Data         The Value field of an Attribute as defined in[RFC2865], Section 5.  The contents of this field MUST be of a         valid data type as defined in the RADIUS "Data Type" registry.   We consistently use "Attr-Data" to refer to the contents of an   attribute, instead of the more ambiguous name "Value".  It is   RECOMMENDED that new specifications follow this practice.DeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   We consistently use "Value" to refer to the contents of a data type,   where that data type is simple.  For example, an "integer" can have a   "Value".  In contrast, a Vendor-Specific Attribute carries complex   information and thus cannot have a "Value".   For data types that carry complex information, we name the fields   based on the data type.  For example, a Vendor-Specific Attribute is   defined to carry a "vsa" data type, and the contents of that   data type are described herein as "VSA-Data".   These terms are used in preference to the term "String", which was   previously used in ambiguous ways.  It is RECOMMENDED that future   specifications use type-specific names and the same naming scheme for   new types.  This use will maintain consistent definitions and help to   avoid ambiguities.2.1.2.  Attribute Definitions Using Data Types   New RADIUS specifications MUST define attributes using data types   from the RADIUS "Data Type" registry.  The specification may, of   course, define a new data type, update the "Data Type" registry, and   use the new data type, all in the same document.  The guidelines   given in [RFC6929] MUST be followed when defining a new data type.   Attributes can usually be completely described via the Attribute Type   value, name, and data type.  The use of ASCII art is then limited   only to the definition of new data types and for complex data types.   Use of the new extended attributes [RFC6929] makes ASCII art even   more problematic.  An attribute can be allocated from any of the   extended spaces, with more than one option for the attribute header   format.  This allocation decision is made after the specification has   been accepted for publication.  As the allocation affects the format   of the attribute header, it is essentially impossible to create the   correct ASCII art prior to final publication.  Allocation from the   different spaces also changes the value of the Length field, making   it difficult to define it correctly prior to final publication of the   document.   It is therefore RECOMMENDED that ASCII art diagrams not be used for   new RADIUS attribute specifications.DeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20172.1.3.  Format of Attribute Definitions   When defining a new attribute, the following fields SHOULD be given:      Description         A description of the meaning and interpretation of the         attribute.      Type         The Attribute Type value, given in the "dotted number" notation         from [RFC6929].  Specifications can often leave this as "TBD"         (to be determined) and request that IANA fill in the allocated         values.      Length         A description of the length of the attribute.  For attributes         of variable length, a maximum length SHOULD be given.  Since         the Length value may depend on the Type value, the definition         of Length may be affected by IANA allocations.      Data Type         One of the named data types from the RADIUS "Data Type"         registry.      Value         A description of any attribute-specific limitations on the         values carried by the specified data type.  If there are no         attribute-specific limitations, then the description of this         field can be omitted, so long as the Description field is         sufficiently explanatory.         Where the values are limited to a subset of the possible range,         valid range(s) MUST be defined.         For attributes of data type "enum", a list of enumerated values         and names MUST be given, as shown in[RFC2865], Section 5.6.   Using a consistent format for attribute definitions helps to make the   definitions clearer.DeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20172.1.4.  Defining a New Data Type   When a specification needs to define a new data type, it SHOULD   follow the format used by the definitions inSection 3 of this   document.  The text at the start of the data type definition MUST   describe the data type, including the expected use, and why a new   data type is required.  That text SHOULD include limits on expected   values and why those limits exist.  The fields "Name", "Value",   "Length", and "Format" MUST be given, along with values.   The Name field SHOULD be a single name, all lowercase.   Contractions such as "ipv4addr" are RECOMMENDED where they add   clarity.   We note that the use of "Value" in the RADIUS "Data Type" registry   can be confusing.  That name is also used in attribute definitions,   but with a different meaning.  We trust that the meaning here is   clear from the context.   The Value field SHOULD be given as "TBD" in specifications.  That   number is assigned by IANA.   The Format field SHOULD be defined with ASCII art in order to have a   precise definition.  Machine-readable formats are also RECOMMENDED.   The definition of a new data type should be done only when absolutely   necessary.  We do not expect a need for a large number of new   data types.  When defining a new data type, the guidelines of   [RFC6929] with respect to data types MUST be followed.   It is RECOMMENDED that vendors not define "vendor-specific"   data types.  As discussed in [RFC6929], those data types are rarely   necessary and can cause interoperability problems.   Any new data type MUST have a unique name in the RADIUS "Data Type"   registry.  The number of the data type will be assigned by IANA.2.2.  Implementation Use of Data Types   Implementations not supporting a particular data type MUST treat   attributes of that data type as being of data type "string", as   defined inSection 3.5.  It is RECOMMENDED that such attributes   be treated as "invalid attributes", as defined in[RFC6929], Section 2.8.DeKok                        Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   Where the contents of a data type do not match the definition,   implementations MUST treat the enclosing attribute as being an   invalid attribute.  This requirement includes, but is not limited to,   the following situations:   *  Attributes with values outside of the allowed range(s) for the      data type, e.g., as given in the data types "integer", "ipv4addr",      "ipv6addr", "ipv4prefix", "ipv6prefix", or "enum".   *  "text" attributes where the contents do not match the required      format.   *  Attributes where the length is shorter or longer than the allowed      length(s) for the given data type.   The requirements for Reserved fields are more difficult to quantify.   Implementations SHOULD be able to receive and process attributes   where Reserved fields are non-zero.  We do not, however, define any   "correct" processing of such attributes.  Instead, specifications   that define one or more new meanings for Reserved fields SHOULD   describe how each new meaning is compatible with older   implementations.  We expect that such descriptions are derived from   practical experience with implementations.  Implementations MUST set   Reserved fields to zero when creating attributes.3.  Data Type Definitions   This section defines the new data types.  For each data type, it   gives a definition, a name, a number, a length, and an encoding   format.  Where relevant, it describes subfields contained within the   data type.  These definitions have no impact on existing RADIUS   implementations.  There is no requirement that implementations use   these names.   Where possible, the name of each data type has been taken from   previous specifications.  In some cases, a different name has been   chosen.  The change of name is sometimes required to avoid ambiguity   (i.e., "address" versus "Address").  Otherwise, the new name has been   chosen to be compatible with [RFC2865] or with usage in common   implementations.  In some cases, new names are chosen to clarify the   interpretation of the data type.DeKok                        Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   The numbers assigned herein for the data types have no meaning other   than to permit them to be tracked by IANA.  As RADIUS does not encode   information about data types in a packet, the numbers assigned to a   data type will never occur in a packet.  It is RECOMMENDED that new   implementations use the names defined in this document in order to   avoid confusion.  Existing implementations may choose to use the   names defined here, but that is not required.   The encoding of each data type is taken from previous specifications.   The fields are transmitted from left to right.   Where the data types have interdependencies, the simplest data type   is given first, and dependent ones are given later.   We do not create specific data types for the "tagged" attributes   (i.e., attributes containing a Tag field) defined in [RFC2868].  That   specification defines the tagged attributes as being backwards   compatible with pre-existing data types.  In addition,[RFC6158], Section 2.1 says that tagged attributes should not be   used.  There is therefore no benefit to defining additional   data types for these attributes.  We trust that implementors will be   aware that tagged attributes must be treated differently from   non-tagged attributes of the same data type.   Similarly, we do not create data types for some attributes having a   complex structure, such as CHAP-Password, ARAP-Features, or   Location-Information.  ("CHAP" refers to the Challenge Handshake   Authentication Protocol, and "ARAP" refers to the Apple Remote Access   Protocol.)  We need to strike a balance between correcting earlier   mistakes and making this document more complex.  In some cases, it is   better to treat complex attributes as being of type "string", even   though they need to be interpreted by RADIUS implementations.  The   guidelines given inSection 6.3 of [RFC6929] were used to make this   determination.DeKok                        Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20173.4.  text   The "text" data type encodes UTF-8 text [RFC3629].  The maximum   length of the text is given by the encapsulating attribute.  Where   the range of lengths for a particular attribute is limited to a   subset of possible lengths, specifications MUST define the valid   range(s).  Attributes with lengths outside of the allowed values   SHOULD be treated as invalid attributes.   Attributes of type "text" that are allocated in the standard space   (Section 1.2 of [RFC6929]) are limited to no more than 253 octets of   data.  Attributes of type "text" that are allocated in the extended   space can be longer.  In both cases, these limits are reduced when   the data is encapsulated inside of another attribute.   Where the text is intended to carry data in a particular format   (e.g., Framed-Route), the format MUST be given.

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 20173.5.  string   The "string" data type encodes binary data as a sequence of   undistinguished octets.  Where the range of lengths for a particular   attribute is limited to a subset of possible lengths, specifications   MUST define the valid range(s).  Attributes with lengths outside of   the allowed values SHOULD be treated as invalid attributes.   Attributes of type "string" that are allocated in the standard space   (Section 1.2 of [RFC6929]) are limited to no more than 253 octets of   data.  Attributes of type "string" that are allocated in the extended   space can be longer.  In both cases, these limits are reduced when   the data is encapsulated inside of another attribute.   Note that the "string" data type does not terminate with a NUL octet   (hex 00).  The Attribute has a Length field and does not use a   terminator.  Strings of length zero (0) MUST NOT be sent; omit the   entire attribute instead.  Where there is a need to encapsulate   complex data structures and TLVs cannot be used, the "string"   data type MUST be used.  This requirement includes encapsulation of   data structures defined outside of RADIUS that are opaque to the   RADIUS infrastructure.  It also includes encapsulation of some data   structures that are not opaque to RADIUS, such as the contents of   CHAP-Password.   There is little reason to define a new RADIUS data type for only one   attribute.  However, where the complex data type cannot be   represented as TLVs and is expected to be used in many attributes, a   new data type SHOULD be defined.   These requirements are stronger than [RFC6158], which makes the above   encapsulation a "SHOULD".  This document defines data types for use   in RADIUS, so there are few reasons to avoid using them.

It is otherwise   identical to the "string" data type.   If multiple attributes of this data type are contained in a packet,   all attributes of the same type code MUST be in order, and they MUST   be consecutive attributes in the packet.   The amount of data transported in a "concat" data type can be no more   than the RADIUS packet size.  In practice, the requirement to   transport multiple attributes means that the limit may be   substantially smaller than one RADIUS packet.  As a rough guide, it   is RECOMMENDED that this data type transport no more than 2048 octets   of data.   The "concat" data type MAY be used for "standard space" attributes.   It MUST NOT be used for attributes in the "short extended space" or   the "long extended space".

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   Subfields      Extended-Type         This field is identical to the Extended-Type field defined         above inSection 3.15.      M (More)         The More field (M flag) is one (1) bit in length and indicates         whether or not the current attribute contains "more" than         251 octets of data.  The More field MUST be clear (0) if the         Length field has a value less than 255.  The More field MAY be         set (1) if the Length field has a value of 255.         If the More field is set (1), it indicates that the Ext-Data         field has been fragmented across multiple RADIUS attributes.         When the More field is set (1), the Attribute MUST have a         Length field value of 255; there MUST be an attribute following         this one; and the next attribute MUST have both the same Type         and Extended-Type.  That is, multiple fragments of the same         value MUST be in order and MUST be consecutive attributes in         the packet, and the last attribute in a packet MUST NOT have         the More field set (1).         That is, a packet containing a fragmented attribute needs to         contain all fragments of the attribute, and those fragments         need to be contiguous in the packet.  RADIUS does not support         inter-packet fragmentation, which means that fragmenting an         attribute across multiple packets is impossible.         If a client or server receives an attribute fragment with the         More field set (1), but for which no subsequent fragment can be         found, then the fragmented attribute is considered to be an         invalid attribute and is handled as per[RFC6929], Section 2.8.      T (Truncation)         This field is one bit in size and is called "T" for Truncation.         It indicates that the attribute is intentionally truncated in         this chunk and is to be continued in the next chunk of the         sequence.  The combination of the M flag and the T flag         indicates that the attribute is fragmented (M flag) but that         all of the fragments are not available in this chunk (T flag).         Proxies implementing [RFC6929] will see these attributes asDeKok                        Standards Track                   [Page 28]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017         invalid (they will not be able to reconstruct them), but they         will still forward them, asSection 5.2 of [RFC6929] indicates         that they SHOULD forward unknown attributes anyway.         Please see [RFC7499] for further discussion of the uses of         this flag.      Reserved         This field is six bits long and is reserved for future use.         Implementations MUST set it to zero (0) when encoding an         attribute for sending in a packet.  The contents SHOULD be         ignored on reception.         Future specifications may define one or more additional         meanings for this field.  Implementations therefore MUST NOT         treat this field as invalid if it is non-zero.      Ext-Data         The Ext-Data field is one or more octets.         The contents of this field MUST be a valid data type as defined         in the RADIUS "Data Type" registry.  The Ext-Data field MUST         NOT contain any of the following data types: "concat", "vsa",         "extended", "long-extended", or "evs".         Implementations supporting this specification MUST use the         Identifier of "Type.Extended-Type" to determine the         interpretation of the Ext-Data field.         The length of the data MUST be taken as the sum of the lengths         of the fragments (i.e., Ext-Data fields) from which it is         constructed.  Any interpretation of the resulting data MUST         occur after the fragments have been reassembled.  If the         reassembled data does not match the expected format, each         fragment MUST be treated as an invalid attribute, and the         reassembled data MUST be discarded.         We note that the maximum size of a fragmented attribute is         limited only by the RADIUS packet length limitation.         Implementations MUST be able to handle the case where one         fragmented attribute completely fills the packet.DeKok                        Standards Track                   [Page 29]

The "evs" data type is used solely   to extend the vendor-specific space.  It MAY appear inside of an   "extended" data type or a "long-extended" data type.  It MUST NOT   appear in the contents of any other data type.   Where an implementation determines that an attribute of data type   "evs" contains data that does not match the expected format, it   SHOULD treat that attribute as being an invalid attribute.

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017      EVS-Data         The EVS-Data field is one or more octets.  It SHOULD         encapsulate a previously defined RADIUS data type.         Non-standard data types SHOULD NOT be used.  We note that the         EVS-Data field may be of data type "tlv".         The actual format of the information is site specific or         application specific, and a robust implementation SHOULD         support the field as undistinguished octets.  We recognize that         vendors have complete control over the contents and format of         the Ext-Data field; at the same time, we recommend that good         practices be followed.         Further codification of the range of allowed usage of this         field is outside the scope of this specification.4.  Updated Registries   This section defines a new IANA registry for RADIUS data types and   then updates the existing "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to use   the data types from the new registry.4.1.  New "Data Type" Registry   This section defines a new registry located under "RADIUS Types",   called "Data Type".  The registration procedures for the "Data Type"   registry are "Standards Action" [RFC5226].   The "Data Type" registry contains three columns of data, as follows.   Value      The number of the data type.  The Value field is an artifact of      the registry and has no on-the-wire meaning.   Description      The name of the data type.  This field is used only for the      registry and has no on-the-wire meaning.

Updates to the "RADIUS Attribute Types" Registry   This section updates the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to have a   new column, which is inserted between the existing "Description" and   "Reference" columns.  The new column is named "Data Type".  The   contents of that column are the name of a data type, corresponding to   the attribute in that row, or blank if the Attribute Type is   unassigned.  The name of the data type is taken from the RADIUS   "Data Type" registry, as defined above.   The existing registration requirements for the "RADIUS Attribute   Types" registry are otherwise unchanged.5.  Security Considerations   This specification is concerned solely with updates to IANA   registries.  As such, there are no security considerations with the   document itself.   However, the use of inconsistent names and poorly defined entities in   a protocol is problematic.  Inconsistencies in specifications can   lead to security and interoperability problems in implementations.   Further, having one canonical source for the definition of data types   means that an implementor has fewer specifications to read.  The   implementation work is therefore simpler and more likely to be   correct.DeKok                        Standards Track                   [Page 32]

RFC 8044                  Data Types in RADIUS              January 2017   The goal of this specification is to reduce ambiguities in the RADIUS   protocol, which we believe will lead to more robust and more secure   implementations.6.  IANA Considerations   IANA has created one new registry, as described inSection 4.1.   IANA has updated the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry, as described   inSection 4.2.   IANA requires that all allocation requests in the "RADIUS Attribute   Types" registry contain a Data Type field, which is required to   contain one of the "Data Type" names contained in the RADIUS "Data   Type" registry.   IANA requires that updates to the RADIUS "Data Type" registry contain   the following fields, with the associated instructions:   *  Value.  IANA is instructed to assign the next unused integer in      sequence to new data type definitions.   *  Name.  IANA is instructed to require that this name be unique in      the registry.   *  Reference.  IANA is instructed to update this field with a      reference to the document that defines the data type.7.  References7.1.
