Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

Abstract

Many network devices, application servers, and middleware components
   of a enterprise software infrastructure generate some form of session
   tracking identifiers, which are useful when analyzing activity and
   accounting logs to group activity relating to a particular session.
   This document discusses how Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
   version 3 (LDAP) clients can include session tracking identifiers
   with their LDAP requests.  This information is provided through
   controls in the requests the clients send to LDAP servers.  The LDAP
   server receiving these controls can include the session tracking
   identifiers in the log messages it writes, enabling LDAP requests in
   the LDAP server's logs to be correlated with activity in logs of
   other components in the infrastructure.  The control also enables
   session tracking information to be generated by LDAP servers and
   returned to clients and other servers.  Three formats of session
   tracking identifiers are defined in this document.

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

1.  Introduction

The majority of directory server implementations produce access logs
   detailing each request they receive.  These logs can be read using
   log parsing tools or specialized log viewer applications.  Typically
   it will be possible, for each request logged by a directory server,
   to determine the bind DN (or possibly another form of authentication
   identity) of the client which sent the request to the server, and
   many servers also log the IP address of the client that sent the
   request.

In the original OSI architecture, it was envisaged that users might
   interact with a directory service through specialized applications,
   known as Directory User Agents, which were the clients of the
   Directory Access Protocol.  Similarly, in early Internet directory
   deployments, a majority of LDAP clients were desktop applications,
   that used the LDAP protocol to search an enterprise directory for
   address book/contact information.

Today, the majority of LDAP clients are embedded within middleware
   and server applications.  Legacy address book protocols might be
   gatewayed into LDAP, or a server might consult an LDAP server in
   order to check a user's password or obtain their preferences.  While
   the LDAP requests might result from a user's activity somewhere on
   the network, it is rare for the user to be 'driving' the LDAP client,
   and in most cases the user performing the activity is unaware that
   LDAP requests are being generated on their behalf.

However, this information is important to directory system
   administrators and auditors.  They may wish to determine who is
   making use of the directory service, or track the source of unusual
   requests.

When a directory server administrator reviews a log file produced by
   a directory server that has been accessed only by clients that are
   themselves middleware, where the end user does not interact with the
   middleware directly, only through other kinds of servers (e.g.
   application servers or remote access servers), it will be difficult
   to correlate between the directory server's log and the logs of the
   servers which made use of this directory to determine why the LDAP
   requests were made and who were responsible for causing them.

Reasons for this include:

o  Directory servers are capable of performing many hundreds of
      requests per second or more, and even with time synchronization
      between the systems on which the directory server and middleware
      are deployed, times of requests might not be logged accurately

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

enough to be able to correlate based on time: the server's logs
      might be only to 1-second resolution.

o  A single function on a middleware server, such as "authenticate a
      user", may result in multiple LDAP requests being generated in
      order to perform that request.

o  Many high performance middleware servers implement connection
      pooling, managing a set of persistent connections to each
      directory server and multiplexing operations across the
      connections.  Each connection will have the same source IP address
      and bind DN.  If a particular activity causes multiple LDAP
      requests to be generated, each LDAP request might be sent on a
      different connection.  Also, as LDAP is an asynchronous protocol,
      middleware servers may have more than one request in progress on
      each connection, asynchronously sending requests to the directory
      server on each connection and processing the responses in whatever
      order they are received.

This document defines a new control for use in LDAPv3 [1] operation
   requests.  This control contains session tracking information that
   can be used to correlate log information present in the directory
   server's log with the logs of other middleware servers.

The words "MUST", "SHOULD" and "MAY" are used as defined in RFC 2119
   [2].

1.1.  Motivation for session tracking

A typical enterprise deployment with an application indirectly
   relying upon the directory might resemble:

+------+     +--------+       +----------+      +--------+
       | User |     | Appli- |       | Auth./   | LDAP |  LDAP  |
       |      +-----+ cation +-------+ Identity +------+ Server |
       |      |     | Server |       | Provider |      |        |
       |  A   |     |   B    |       |    C     |      |   D    |
       +------+     +--------+       +----------+      +--------+

In this diagram, a user (A) makes some request of an application
   server (B).  The application server might rely on an integrated or
   external authentication provider in order to check the user's
   authentication credentials, or might use an identity provider to
   obtain profile information about the user.  This request might be
   made through an API or a protocol other than LDAP, e.g.  RADIUS,
   Kerberos, SMB, etc.  The authentication/identity provider (C) would

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

generate one or more LDAP requests and send them to an LDAP server
   (D).

The LDAP server has the following information already available to it
   through the LDAP protocol: the IP address and authentication
   credentials of the authentication/identity provider (C).  If the
   provider has included the Proxy Authorization Control [11], then the
   LDAP server might also receive the Distinguished Name or
   authorization identity of either the user (A) or the application
   server (B), depending on how the authentication/identity provider (C)
   uses the directory.  In order to obtain this distinguished name
   however, the authentication/identity provider (C) might need to
   perform one or more LDAP search or bind requests.  If there is no
   entry in the directory corresponding to the identity of the user (A)
   or the application server (B), then there is no way in the base LDAP
   specification or the Proxy Authorization Control for the
   authentication/identity provider (C) to describe the user (A) or the
   application server (B) to the LDAP server (D).

If either the application server (B) or the authentication/identity
   provider (C) have generated a session identifier for tracking the
   interactions of the user (A) for a particular session, then it is
   useful to include this information with the requests made to the
   directory server, so that this session identifier will show up in the
   directory server's logs.  That is the purpose of the control defined
   in the next section.

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

2.  Control definition

There is currently no standard way of describing a session: there are
   many different formats for a session identifier, and each application
   that tracks sessions typically has its own semantics for what a
   session means.  Thus, a control is defined using an extensible model,
   in order to incorporate many different application's concepts and
   formats of a session tracking identifier.

The value of the session identifier control encapsulates the
   following four pieces of information: sessionSourceIp,
   sessionSourceName, formatOID and sessionTrackingIdentifier.

The sessionSourceIp field is a US-ASCII string encoding of an IPv4 or
   IPv6 [3] address of the component of the system which has generated a
   session tracking identifier.  The purpose of this field is to enable
   the directory server administrator, even if they do not have a log
   parser that understands a particular session tracking identifier
   format, to at least be able to identify the server that manages the
   session.  Note that there is no guarantee of IP-level connectivity
   between the directory server and the system which generated the
   tracking identifier, and if Network Address Translation is being
   used, the IP address in this field might be from a private use
   address range.

The sessionSourceName field is a UTF-8 [4] encoded ISO 10646 [5] text
   string.  This field describes the component of the system which has
   generated a session tracking identifier.  The format of this field is
   determined by the formatOID (discussed below); examples of contents
   of a sessionSourceName field might be a hostname, a distinguished
   name, or a web service address.  This contents of this field is not
   intended to identify an end user; instead it identifies the server
   using a name other than the server's IP address.

The formatOID is a US-ASCII encoded dotted decimal representation of
   an OBJECT IDENTIFIER.  The OBJECT IDENTIFIER indicates the scheme
   that is used to generate the sessionSourceName and
   sessionTrackingIdentifier fields.  As there is currently no standard
   scheme for session information, it is expected that there will be
   many different formats carried within this control.  The OBJECT
   IDENTIFIERs for three formats are presented in this document.

The sessionTrackingIdentifier field is a UTF-8 encoded ISO 10646
   string.  The session identifier SHOULD be limited to whitespace and
   printable characters; non-printing and control characters SHOULD NOT
   be used, and byte sequences that are not legal UTF-8 MUST NOT be
   used.  The syntax of the session identifier and its semantics (e.g.,
   how values are compared for equality) are governed by the formatOID.

Wahl                    Expires November 10, 2007               [Page 6]

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

For example, the session identifier might be a simple string encoding
   of a decimal counter, a username, a timestamp, a fragment of XML, or
   it might be something else, depending on the format.

2.1.  Formal definition

This document defines a single LDAP control.

The controlType is 1.3.6.1.4.1.21008.108.63.1, the criticality MUST
   be either FALSE or absent, and the controlValue MUST be present.  The
   controlValue OCTET STRING is always present and contains the bytes of
   the BER [6] encoding of a value of the ASN.1 data type
   SessionIdentifierControlValue, defined as follows:

LDAP-Session-Identifier-Control
      DEFINITIONS IMPLICIT TAGS ::=
      BEGIN

LDAPString ::= OCTET STRING -- UTF-8 encoded
      LDAPOID ::= OCTET STRING -- Constrained to numericoid

SessionIdentifierControlValue ::= SEQUENCE {
           sessionSourceIp                 LDAPString,
           sessionSourceName               LDAPString,
           formatOID                       LDAPOID,
           sessionTrackingIdentifier       LDAPString
      }

END

The sessionSourceIp element SHOULD NOT be longer than 42 characters
   (the length necessary for a string representation of an IPv6
   address), and MUST NOT be longer than 128 characters.  Each character
   will be encoded into a single byte.  If the IP address of the system
   which generated the session tracking identifier is not known, the
   sessionSourceIp element SHOULD be of zero length.

The sessionSourceName element SHOULD NOT be longer than 1024
   characters, and MUST NOT be longer than 65536 bytes.  Note that in
   the UTF-8 encoding a character MAY be encoded into more than one
   byte.  If no other addressing information about that system is known
   or relevant to the format, the sessionSourceName element SHOULD be of
   zero length.

The formatOID element MUST contain only the US-ASCII encodings of the
   ISO 10646 characters FULL STOP and DIGIT ZERO through DIGIT NINE
   (0x2E, 0x30-0x39).  The formatOID element MUST NOT be of zero length,
   and SHOULD NOT be longer than 1024 characters.

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

The sessionTrackingIdentifier field MAY be of zero length (although
   this might not be useful).  There is no upper bound on the
   sessionTrackingIdentifier, but it is suggested that values SHOULD NOT
   be longer than 65536 characters without prior agreement with the
   directory server administrator.  Note that in the UTF-8 encoding a
   character MAY be encoded into more than one byte.

2.2.  Use in LDAP

The control MAY be included in any LDAP operation.  The control has
   order-dependent semantics.

A client might place the control on a message with a bindRequest,
   searchRequest, modifyRequest, addRequest, delRequest, modDNRequest,
   compareRequest or extendedReq.  A client MAY include multiple
   controls of this type in a single request.  This enables the client
   to incorporate multiple distinct session tracking identifiers with
   different formats.

When a network service is proxying or chaining LDAP, in which the
   service receives an incoming LDAP request from a client and from this
   generates one or more requests to other LDAP servers, the service
   SHOULD include any controls of this type that it received from
   clients in requests it generates, without modification.  A service
   MAY silently remove a control if that control would violate security
   policy.  If the service has its own session state identifier, it
   SHOULD include the session identifier control it generates in the
   Controls SEQUENCE after any session identifier controls received by
   clients.  (If there are multiple proxies involved, each will add
   their own session state to the end of the controls list).

A server might place the control on message with a bindResponse,
   searchResDone, modifyResponse, addResponse, delResponse,
   modDNResponse, compareResponse, extendedResp or intermediateResponse.
   The server can include the control in the response regardless of
   whether the client included a control in the request or not.  (The
   control in a response is unsolicited, and a client which does not
   recognize the control or a session tracking format can safely ignore
   the control, as discussed in the following section).  A server MAY
   include multiple controls of this type in a response.

2.3.  Extensibility considerations

The following section of this document defines 3 possible formats,
   and it is expected that applications MAY define their own formats to
   represent session tracking identifiers already implemented.

An application developer or server developer who wishes to transfer

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

their implementation's format for session tracking identifier within
   an LDAP control MUST choose a new, unique, OBJECT IDENTIFIER to
   represent this format.

The format determines the semantics of the sessionSourceName string,
   and the sessionTrackingIdentifier string.

In general, when an LDAP server that has session tracking logging
   enabled receives one or more of these controls with a request, the
   server SHOULD include all fields of all of the controls with the
   logging information for the request.

A LDAP server that supports third-party or extensible log parsing
   tools SHOULD NOT reject or ignore a control if the formatOID value is
   not recognized, as it is expected that applications may include
   session tracking identifiers and want to make this information
   available to log parsers for correlation purposes, even if the
   directory server does not need to make any use of this information.

However, if the LDAP server does not recognize the control, the
   control is not properly formatted, or the LDAP client is not
   authorized to use this control, the LDAP server SHOULD ignore the
   control and process the request as if the control had not been
   included.

When an LDAP client receives a response that includes this control,
   the behavior depends on the client implementation.  Clients SHOULD
   silently ignore controls with formats they do not recognize, and
   process the response as if the control had not been included.

3.  Session tracking format definitions

This section defines three session tracking formats that can be used
   within the session tracking control: two for RADIUS accounting, and
   one based on usernames.  Other formats can be defined in other
   documents.

3.1.  Formats for use with RADIUS accounting

This section defines two possible session tracking formats, that can
   be used in LDAP clients that are part of or used by RADIUS servers
   [7].

With formatOID set to 1.3.6.1.4.1.21008.108.63.1.1 within the control
   value, the sessionTrackingIdentifier SHOULD contain the value of the
   Acct-Session-Id RADIUS attribute (type 44), as defined in RFC 2866
   [8].  (RFC 2866 section 5.5 states that the Acct-Session-Id SHOULD
   contain UTF-8 encoded ISO 10646 characters.)

With formatOID set to 1.3.6.1.4.1.21008.108.63.1.2 within the control
   value, the sessionTrackingIdentifier SHOULD contain the value of the
   Acct-Multi-Session-Id RADIUS attribute (type 50), as defined in RFC
   2866 [8].  (RFC 2866 section 5.11 states that the
   Acct-Multi-Session-Id SHOULD contain UTF-8 encoded ISO 10646
   characters.)

In both of these two formats, the value of the sessionSourceIp field
   SHOULD contain either a string encoding value of the IPv4 address
   from the NAS-IP-Address RADIUS attribute (type 4), or a string
   encoding of the IPv6 address from the value of the NAS-IPv6-Address
   RADIUS attribute (type 95) as defined in RFC 3162 [9].  The value of
   the sessionSourceName field SHOULD contain a string encoding the
   value of the NAS-Identifier RADIUS attribute (type 32), if present,
   or be of zero length if the NAS-Identifier RADIUS attribute was not
   provided or was not in a recognized format.

3.2.  Format for username accounting

This section defines another possible session tracking format that
   can be used in LDAP clients that are part of applications which
   identify users with simple string usernames.

With formatOID set to 1.3.6.1.4.1.21008.108.63.1.3 within the control
   value, the sessionTrackingIdentifier SHOULD contain a username that
   has already been authenticated by the application that is generating
   the session.  This format SHOULD NOT be used for purported names,
   where the application has not verified that the username is valid.

Wahl                    Expires November 10, 2007              [Page 10]

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

The sessionSourceName field SHOULD contain the hostname where that
   application is running, or be of zero length if the hostname is not
   known.

The username SHOULD be a SASL authorization identity string, as
   described in section 3.4.1 of RFC 4422 [10].  It is expected that
   these usernames are not globally unique, but are only unique within
   the context of a particular application or particular enterprise.  A
   username need not be a distinguished name, and an implementation
   receiving a control in this format MUST NOT assume that the contents
   of the sessionTrackingIdentifier can be parsed as a distinguished
   name.

A control with this format differs from the Proxied Authorization
   Control as defined in RFC 4370 [11], as the presence of this session
   identifier control on a request SHOULD NOT influence the directory
   server's access control decision of whether or how to perform that
   request.

Note that this format does not provide any information to
   differentiate between multiple sessions or periods of interaction by
   the same user.  It is primarily intended for deployments which merely
   need to be able to tie each directory operation to they identity of
   the user whose activities caused the operation request to be
   generated, even if the user might not even be represented in the
   directory where the operations are being performed.

3.2.1.  Example

For example, if an application server "app.example.com" with IPv4
   address "192.0.2.1" had authenticated an user with name "bloggs", and
   then sent a search request to the LDAP directory in order to obtain
   some public information on service configuration intending to provide
   it to that user, the application might include a session identifier
   control.  The SessionIdentifierControlValue would have the following
   ASN.1 value prior to encoding:

{  -- SEQUENCE
         "192.0.2.1",                    -- sessionSourceIp
         "app.example.com",              -- sessionSourceName
         "1.3.6.1.4.1.21008.108.63.1.3", -- formatOID
         "bloggs"                        -- sessionTrackingIdentifier
      }

The session identifier control would be sent with controlType

Internet-Draft        LDAP Session Tracking Control             May 2007

4.  Security Considerations

The session identifier controls used in this document are not
   intended as a security control or proxy authentication mechanism, and
   SHOULD NOT be used within a directory server to influence the
   operation processing behavior.

Malicious clients might attempt to provide false or misleading
   information in directory server logs through the use of this control.
   LDAP servers SHOULD implement access checks which limit whether
   session identifier information provided by a client is logged.  LDAP
   servers which implement this control SHOULD permit the administrator
   of the directory server to configure that this control is ignored
   unless the request containing the control was received from a client
   that been authenticated.  LDAP servers which implement this control
   SHOULD permit the administrator of the directory server to configure
   that this control is ignored unless the client is authorized to use
   this or related controls, such as the Proxied Authorization Control
   [11].  Session identifier information from clients which do not meet
   the server's access check requirement SHOULD be silently discarded.

In some formats, session tracking identifiers may contain personal-
   identifiable information, such as usernames or client IP addresses.
   Unless data link, network or transport level encryption is being
   used, this information might be visible to attackers monitoring the
   network segments across which this information is being transmitted.
   Implementations of LDAP clients which include this control in
   requests sent to directory servers SHOULD support the use of
   underlying security services that establish connection
   confidentiality before the control is sent, such as a SASL mechanism
   that negotiates a security layer, or the Start TLS operation.

Correlation of activities across multiple servers can enable
   administrators and monitoring tools to construct a more accurate
   picture of user behavior.  In particular, this tracking control could
   be used to determine the set of applications and services with which
   a particular user has had interactions.  Thus, this control would not
   be appropriate to deployments intending to anonymize directory
   requests.  Session formats containing personal identifiable
   information SHOULD NOT be used between systems in different
   organizations where there is no existing agreement between those
   organizations on privacy protection.

A value of the session tracking control might contain internal IP
   addresses, hostnames and other identifiers that reveal the structure
   of an enterprise network.  A network service that generates its own
   sessions SHOULD NOT send a session tracking control to a directory
   server that is under different administration or in a different

security enclave from itself.  A network service that is an LDAP
   client and also either receives requests over another protocol that
   contains session tracking identifiers or is proxying incoming LDAP
   requests SHOULD NOT forward received session tracking identifiers to
   a directory server that is under different administration or in a
   different security enclave from itself.  A packet inspecting firewall
   that permits outgoing LDAP requests from an enterprise network SHOULD
   silently remove any session tracking controls from requests that are
   being sent to directory servers outside of the enterprise network for
   which there is not a preexisting policy configured to allow the
   session tracking control to be sent to that directory server.
