SSH Client and Server Models
draft-ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server-03
Abstract
This document defines three YANG modules: the first defines groupings
for a generic SSH client, the second defines groupings for a generic
SSH server, and the third defines common identities and groupings
used by both the client and the server. It is intended that these
groupings will be used by applications using the SSH protocol.

1. Introduction
This document defines three YANG [RFC7950] modules: the first defines
a grouping for a generic SSH client, the second defines a grouping
for a generic SSH server, and the third defines identities and
groupings common to both the client and the server (SSH is defined in
[RFC4252], [RFC4253], and [RFC4254]). It is intended that these
groupings will be used by applications using the SSH protocol. For
instance, these groupings could be used to help define the data model
for an OpenSSH [OPENSSH] server or a NETCONF over SSH [RFC6242] based
server.
The client and server YANG modules in this document each define one
grouping, which is focused on just SSH-specific configuration, and
specifically avoids any transport-level configuration, such as what
ports to listen-on or connect-to. This enables applications the
opportunity to define their own strategy for how the underlying TCP
connection is established. For instance, applications supporting
NETCONF Call Home [RFC8071] could use the grouping for the SSH parts
it provides, while adding data nodes for the TCP-level call-home
configuration.
1.1. Terminology
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft SSH Client and Server Models June 2017
1.2. Tree Diagrams
A simplified graphical representation of the data models is used in
this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
follows:
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
o Braces "{" and "}" enclose feature names, and indicate that the
named feature must be present for the subtree to be present.
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
2. The SSH Client Model
The SSH client model presented in this section contains one YANG
grouping, to just configure the SSH client omitting, for instance,
any configuration for which IP address or port the client should
connect to.
This grouping references data nodes defined by the keystore model
[I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore]. For instance, a reference to the
keystore model is made to indicate which trusted CA certificate a
client should use to authenticate X.509v3 certificate based host keys
[RFC6187].
2.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram presents the data model for the grouping
defined in the ietf-ssh-client module. Please see Section 1.2 for
tree diagram notation.

3. The SSH Server Model

grouping, for just the SSH-level configuration omitting, for
instance, configuration for which ports to open to listen for
connections on.

keystore model is made to indicate which host key a server should
present.

4. The SSH Common Model
The SSH common model presented in this section contains identities
and groupings common to both SSH clients and SSH servers. The
transport-params-grouping can be used to configure the list of SSH
transport algorithms permitted by the SSH client or SSH server. The
lists of algorithms are ordered such that, if multiple algorithms are
permitted by the client, the algorithm that appears first in its list
that is also permitted by the server is used for the SSH transport
layer connection. The ability to restrict the the algorithms allowed
is provided in this grouping for SSH clients and SSH servers that are
capable of doing so and may serve to make SSH clients and SSH servers
compliant with security policies.
Features are defined for algorithms that are OPTIONAL or are not
widely supported by popular implementations. Note that the list of
algorithms is not exhaustive. As well, some algorithms that are
REQUIRED by [RFC4253] are missing, notably "ssh-dss" and "diffie-
hellman-group1-sha1" due to their weak security and there being
alternatives that are widely supported.
4.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram presents the data model for the grouping
defined in the ietf-ssh-common module. Please see Section 1.2 for
tree diagram notation.

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed
via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-
implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual
authentication.
The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC6536] provides the means
to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of
all available 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)
Watsen & Wu Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft SSH Client and Server Models June 2017
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:
/: The entire data tree defined by this module is sensitive to
write operations. For instance, the addition or removal of
references to keys, certificates, trusted anchors, etc., can
dramatically alter the implemented security policy. However,
no NACM annotations are applied as the data SHOULD be editable
by users other than a designated 'recovery session'.
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
/client-auth/password: This node is additionally sensitive to
read operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never
be returned to a client. The best reason for returning this
node is to support backup/restore type workflows. This being
the case, this node is marked with the NACM value 'default-
deny-all'.
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
NONE

Appendix A. Change Log
A.1. server-model-09 to 00
o This draft was split out from draft-ietf-netconf-server-model-09.
o Added in previously missing ietf-ssh-client module.
o Noted that '0.0.0.0' and '::' might have special meanings.
A.2. 00 to 01
o Renamed "keychain" to "keystore".
A.3. 01 to 02
o Removed the groupings 'listening-ssh-client-grouping' and
'listening-ssh-server-grouping'. Now modules only contain the
transport-independent groupings.
o Simplified the "client-auth" part in the ietf-ssh-client module.
It now inlines what it used to point to keystore for.
o Added cipher suites for various algorithms into new 'ietf-ssh-
common' module.
A.4. 02 to 03
o Removed 'RESTRICTED' enum from 'password' leaf type.
o Added a 'must' statement to container 'server-auth' asserting that
at least one of the various auth mechanisms must be specified.
o Fixed description statement for leaf 'trusted-ca-certs'.
