Federated Authentication for the Registration Data Access Protocol
(RDAP) using OpenID Connect

+ draft-ietf-regext-rdap-openid-08
Abstract
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) provides "RESTful" web
services to retrieve registration metadata from domain name and
regional internet registries. RDAP allows a server to make access
control decisions based on client identity, and as such it includes
support for client identification features provided by the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Identification methods that require
clients to obtain and manage credentials from every RDAP server

4. Protocol Parameters
This specification adds the following protocol parameters to RDAP:
1. A query parameter to request authentication for a specific end-
user identity.
2. A path segment to request an ID Token and an Access Token for a
specific end-user identity.
3. A query parameter to deliver an ID Token and an Access Token for
use with an RDAP query.
4.1. Client Authentication Request and Response
- Client authentication is requested by adding a query component to an
- RDAP request URI using the syntax described in Section 3.4 of RFC
- 3986 [RFC3986]. The query used to request client authentication is
- represented as a "key=value" pair using a key value of "id" and a
- value component that contains the client identifier issued by an OP.
- An example:
+ Client authentication is requested using one of two methods: either
+ by adding a query component to an RDAP request URI using the syntax
+ described in Section 3.4 of RFC 3986 [RFC3986], or by including an
+ HTTP authorization header for the Basic authentication scheme as
+ described in RFC 7617 [RFC7617]. Clients can use either method.
+ Servers MUST support both methods.
+
+ The query used to request client authentication is represented as an
+ OPTIONAL "key=value" pair using a key value of "id" and a value
+ component that contains the client identifier issued by an OP. An
+ example for client identifier "user.idp.example":
https://example.com/rdap/domain/example.com?id=user.idp.example
+ The authorization header for the Basic authentication scheme contains
+ a Base64-encoded representation of the client identifier issued by an
+ OP. No password is provided. An example for client identifier
+ "user.idp.example":
+
+ https://example.com/rdap/domain/example.com Authorization: Basic
+ dXNlci5pZHAuZXhhbXBsZQ==
+
The response to an authenticated query MUST use the response
structures specified in RFC 7483 [RFC7483]. Information that the
end-user is not authorized to receive MUST be omitted from the
response.
4.2. Token Request and Response
Clients MAY send a request to an RDAP server to authenticate an end-
- user and return an ID Token and an Access Token from an OP that can
- be then be passed to the RP/RDAP server to authenticate and process
- subsequent queries. Identity provider authentication is requested
- using a "tokens" path segment and a query parameter with key value of
- "id" and a value component that contains the client identifier issued
- by an OP. An example:
+ user and return tokens (an ID Token, an Access Token, and a Refresh
+ Token) from an OP that can be then be passed to the RP/RDAP server to
+ authenticate and process subsequent queries. An access token can be
+ refreshed as described in Section 12 of the OpenID Connect Core
+ protocol [OIDCC] and Section 6 of RFC 6749 [RFC6749]. Clients can
+ take advantage of this functionality if it is supported by the OP and
+ accepted by the RDAP server. Identity provider authentication is
+ requested using a "tokens" path segment and a query parameter with a
+ key value of "id" and a value component that contains the client
+ identifier issued by an OP. An example:
https://example.com/rdap/tokens?id=user.idp.example
+
In addition to any core RDAP response elements, the response to this
- query MUST contain four name-value pairs, in any order, representing
- the returned ID Token and Access Token. The ID Token is represented
- using a key value of "id_token". The Access Token is represented
- using a key value of "access_token". The access token type is
- represented using a key value of "token_type" and a value of "bearer"
- as described in Sections 4.2.2 and 7.1 of RFC 6749 [RFC6749]. The
- lifetime of the access token is represented using a key value of
- "expires_in" and a numerical value that describes the lifetime in
- seconds of the access token as described in Section 4.2.2 of RFC 6749
- [RFC6749]. The token values returned in the RDAP server response
- MUST be Base64url encoded as described in RFCs 7515 [RFC7515] and
- 7519 [RFC7519].

- supported by the OP and accepted by the RDAP server.

- "refresh" and a value component of "true". A value component of
- "false" MUST be processed to return a result that is consistent with
- not including a "refresh" parameter at all as described in
- Section 4.2. An example using "refresh=true":
-
- https://example.com/rdap/tokens?id=user.idp.example&refresh=true

- that represents the refresh token.

Access and refresh tokens can be revoked as described in RFC 7009
[RFC7009] by sending a request to an RDAP server that contains a
- "tokens/revoke" path segment and two query parameters. The first
- query parameter includes a key value of "id" and a value component
- that contains the client identifier issued by an OP. The second
- query parameter includes a key value of "token" and a Base64url-
- encoded value that represents either the current refresh token or the
+ "tokens/revoke" path segment and a query parameter. The query
+ parameter includes a key value of "token" and a Base64url-encoded
+ value that represents either the current refresh token or the
associated access token. An example:
- https://example.com/rdap/tokens/
- revoke?id=user.idp.example&token=f735...d30c
+ https://example.com/rdap/tokens/revoke?token=f735...d30c
+
Note that this command will revoke both access and refresh tokens at
the same time. In addition to any core RDAP response elements, the
response to this query MUST contain a description of the result of
processing the revocation request within the RDAP "notices" data
structure.
Example token revocation success:
"notices" :

{
"title" : "Token Revocation Result",
"description" : "Token revocation succeeded.",
}

client_id of the RP as an audience value. In some operational
scenarios (such as a client that is providing a proxy service), an RP
can receive tokens with an audience value that does not include the
RP's client_id. These tokens might not be trusted by the RP, and the
RP might refuse to accept the tokens. This situation can be remedied
