Introduction This document defines a YANG module that augment the System Management data model defined in the [RFC7317] with TACACS+ client model. TACACS+ provides Device Administration for routers, network access servers and other networked computing devices via one or more centralized servers which is defined in the TACACS+ Protocol. [I-D.ietf-opsawg-tacacs] The System Management Model [RFC7317] defines two YANG features to support local or RADIUS authentication: o User Authentication Model: Defines a list of usernames and passwords and control the order in which local or RADIUS authentication is used. o RADIUS Client Model: Defines a list of RADIUS servers that a device uses. Since TACACS+ is also used for device management and the feature is not contained in the System Management model, this document defines a YANG data model that allows users to configure TACACS+ client functions on a device for centralized Authentication, Authorization and Accounting provided by TACACS+ servers. Zheng, et al. Expires December 3, 2020 [Page 2] Internet-Draft TACACS+ YANG model June 2020 The YANG model can be used with network management protocols such as NETCONF[RFC6241] to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342]. 2. Conventions used in this document The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP14, [RFC2119], [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. The following terms are defined in [RFC6241] and are used in this specification: o client o configuration data o server o state data The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] and are used in this specification: o augment o data model o data node The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC7950]. 2.1. Tree Diagrams Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340]. 3. Design of the Data Model This model is used to configure TACACS+ client on the device to support deployment scenarios with centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting servers. Authentication is used to Zheng, et al. Expires December 3, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft TACACS+ YANG model June 2020 validate a user's name and password, authorization allows the user to access and execute commands at various command levels assigned to the user and accounting keeps track of the activity of a user who has accessed the device. The ietf-system-tacacsplus module is intended to augment the "/sys:system" path defined in the ietf-system module with the contents of the"tacacsplus" grouping. Therefore, a device can use local, Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), or Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) to validate users who attempt to access the router by several mechanisms, e.g. a command line interface or a web-based user interface. The "server" list is directly under the "tacacsplus" container, which holds a list of TACACS+ servers and uses server-type to distinguish between the three protocols. The list of servers is for redundancy. Most of the parameters in the "server" list are taken directly from the TACACS+ protocol [I-D.ietf-opsawg-tacacs], and some are derived from the various implementations by network equipment manufacturers. For example, when there are multiple interfaces connected to the TACACS+ client or server, the source address of outgoing TACACS+ packets could be specified, or the source address could be specified through the interface setting, or derived from the out-bound interface from the local FIB. For the TACACS+ server located in a Virtual Private Network(VPN), a VRF instance needs to be specified. The "statistics" container under the "server list" is to record session statistics and usage information during user access which include the amount of data a user has sent and/or received during a session. The data model for TACACS+ client has the following structure: Zheng, et al.

Security Considerations The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: /system/tacacsplus/server: This list contains the objects used to control the TACACS+ servers used by the device. Unauthorized access to this list could cause a user management failure on the device. /system/tacacsplus/server/shared-secret: This leaf controls the key known to both the TACACS+ client and server. Unauthorized access to this leaf could cause the device vulnerable to attacks, therefore has been restricted using the "default-deny-all" access control defined in [RFC8341]. This document describes the use of TACACS+ for purposes of authentication, authorization and accounting, it is vulnerable to all of the threats that are present in TACACS+ applications. For a discussion of such threats, see Section 9 of the TACACS+ Protocol [I-D.ietf-opsawg-tacacs]. 6. IANA Considerations This document registers a URI in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
