This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for the configuration and identification of the management system of a device.
Devices which are managed by NETCONF and perhaps other mechanisms have common properties which need to be configured and monitored in a standard way.
The YANG module defined in this document provides the following features:
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 BCP 14, [RFC2119].
The following terms are used within this document:
There are many common properties used to identify devices, operating systems, software versions, etc. that need to be supported in the system data module. These objects are defined as operational data and intended to be specific to the device vendor.
Some user-configurable administrative strings are also provided such as the system location and description.
The management of the date and time used by the system must be supported. Use of one or more NTP servers to automatically set the system date and time must be possible. Utilization of the Timezone database [I-D.lear-iana-timezone-database] must also be supported.
The authentication mechanism must support password authentication over RADIUS, to support deployment scenarios with centralized authentication servers. Additionally, local users must be supported, for scenarios when no centralized authentication server exists, or for situations where the centralized authentication server cannot be reached from the device.
Since the mandatory transport protocol for NETCONF is SSH [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc4742bis] the authentication model must support SSH's "publickey" and "password" authentication methods [RFC4252].
The model for authentication configuration should be flexible enough to support authentication methods defined by other standard documents or by vendors.
[FIXME: this section currently just talks about authentication. Add description of the rest of the data model, like we do in snmp-cfg? Otherwise, rename this section to Authentication ...]
[FIXME: introduce a set of submodules to allow for future enhancements of the system data model?]
This document defines three authentication methods for use with NETCONF:
Additional methods may be defined by other standard documents or by vendors.
This document defines two optional YANG features, 'local‑users' and 'radius', which the server advertises to indicate support for configuring local users on the device, and for configuring RADIUS access, respectively.
The authentication parameters defined in this document are primarily used to configure authentication of NETCONF users, but MAY also be used by other interfaces, e.g., a Command Line Interface or a Web-based User Interface.
If the NETCONF server advertises the 'local‑users' feature, configuration of local users and their SSH public keys is supported in the /system/authentication/user list.
Public key authentication is requested by the SSH client. The SSH server looks up the user name provided by the client in the /system/ authentication/user list, and verifies the key as described in [RFC4253].
If the 'local‑users' feature is supported, then when a NETCONF client starts an SSH session towards the server, using the "publickey" authentication 'method name' [RFC4252], the SSH server looks up the user name given in the SSH authentication request in the /system/ authentication/user list,
If the NETCONF server advertises the 'local‑users' feature, configuration of local users and their passwords is supported in the /system/authentication/user list.
For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication, the leaf-list 'user‑authentication‑order' is used to control if local user password authentication should be used.
In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other NETCONF transport protocols may also support password authentication.
When local user password authentication is requested, the NETCONF transport looks up the user name provided by the client in the /system/ authentication/user list, and verifies the password.
If the NETCONF server advertises the 'radius' feature, the device supports user authentication RADIUS.
For NETCONF transport protocols that support password authentication, the leaf-list 'user‑authentication‑order' is used to control if RADIUS password authentication should be used.
In SSH, password authentication is requested by the client. Other NETCONF transport protocols may also support password authentication.

}
description
"The crypt-hash type is used to store passwords using
a hash function. This type is implemented in various UNIX
systems as the function crypt(3).
When a clear text value is set to a leaf of this type, the
server calculates a password hash, and stores the result
in the datastore. Thus, the password is never stored in
clear text.
When a leaf of this type is read, the stored password hash is
returned.
A value of this type matches one of the forms:
$0$<clear text password>
$<id>$<salt>$<password hash>
The '$0$' prefix signals that the value is clear text. When
such a value is received by the server, a hash value is
calculated, and the string '$<id>$<salt>$' is prepended to the
result, where <salt> is a random 2-16 characters long salt
used to generate the digest. This value is stored in the
configuration data store.
If a value starting with '$<id>$<salt>$' is received, the
server knows that the value already represents a hashed value,
and stores it as is in the data store.
When a server needs to verify a password given by a user, it
finds the stored password hash string for that user, extracts
the salt, and calculates the hash with the salt and given
password as input. If the calculated hash value is the same
as the stored value, the password given by the client is
correct.
This type defines the following hash functions:
id | hash function | feature
---+---------------+-------------------
1 | MD5 | crypt-hash-md5
5 | SHA-256 | crypt-hash-sha-256
6 | SHA-512 | crypt-hash-sha-512
The server indicates support for the different hash functions
by advertising the corresponding feature.";
