   Reseller Extension for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
                   draft-ietf-regext-reseller-ext-01

Abstract

   This mapping, an extension to EPP object mappings like the EPP domain
   name mapping [RFC5731], to support assigning a reseller to any
   existing object (domain, host, contact) as well as any future
   objects.  Specified in Extensible Markup Language (XML), this
   extended mapping is applied to provide additional features required
   for the provisioning of resellers.

Internet-Draft       Reseller Extension for the EPP        December 2016


1.  Introduction

   Domain resellers are the individuals or companies act as agents for
   ICANN accredited registrars.  A domain name registrar may have
   several resellers to help them sell domain names to end users.

   Generally speaking, resellers provide domain registration information
   via registrar's EPP client without reseller information.  On one
   hand, registrars are concerned about how to identify resellers.  On
   the other hand, end users would also be confused by the WHOIS service
   without corresponding reseller information.  This requirement imposes
   a challenge for the domain registries since there is no definition of
   resellers in the existing EPP domain name mapping.  Out of band
   method could solve this problem but may increase extra cost.

   In order to facilitate provisioning and management of reseller
   information in a shared central repository, this document proposes a
   reseller extension of [RFC5731], [RFC5732] and [RFC5733].  The
   examples provided in this document are used for the domain object for
   illustration purposes.  The host and contact object could be extended
   in the same way with the domain object.

   A reseller mapping object defined in [ID.draft-ietf-regext-reseller]
   SHOULD be created first.  The reseller information specified in this
   document SHOULD reference the existing reseller identifier and
   reseller name.

   This document is specified using the XML 1.0 as described in
   [W3C.REC-xml-20040204] and XML Schema notation as described in
   [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028].

2.  Conventions Used in This Document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not a REQUIRED feature of this specification.

   XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
   and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
   character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

   resellerext-1.0 in this document is used as an abbreviation for
   urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resellerext-1.0.

Internet-Draft       Reseller Extension for the EPP        December 2016


3.  Object Attributes

   This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
   mapping [RFC5731].  Only the new elements are described here.

3.1.  Reseller Identifier

   Reseller identifier provides the ID of the reseller of a sponsoring
   registrar.  Its corresponding element is <resellerext:id> which
   refers to the <reseller:id> element defined in
   [ID.draft-ietf-regext-reseller].  All reseller objects are identified
   by a server-unique identifier

3.2.  Reseller Name

   Reseller name provides the name of the reseller of a sponsoring
   registrar.  Its corresponding element is <resellerext:name> which
   refers to the <reseller:name> element defined in
   [ID.draft-ietf-regext-reseller].

4.  EPP Command Mapping

   A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
   in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730].  The command
   mappings described here are specifically for use in provisioning and
   managing reseller information via EPP.

4.1.  EPP Query Commands

   EPP provides three commands to retrieve domain information: <check>
   to determine if a domain object can be provisioned within a
   repository, <info> to retrieve detailed information associated with a
   domain object, and <transfer> to retrieve domain-object transfer
   status information.

4.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
   or <check> response described in the EPP domain name mapping
   [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].

4.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <info> command
   described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732]
   and contact mapping [RFC5733].  However, additional elements are
   defined for the <info> response.

   Example <info> command:


  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
  C:  <command>
  C:    <info>
  C:      <domain:info xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
  C:        <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
  C:        <domain:authInfo>
  C:          <domain:pw>fooBAR</domain:pw>
  C:        </domain:authInfo>
  C:      </domain:info>
  C:    </info>
  C:    <clTRID>ngcl-mIFICBNP</clTRID>
  C:  </command>
  C:</epp>


   When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
   <resData> element MUST contain child elements as described in the EPP
   domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping
   [RFC5733].  In addition, the EPP <extension> element SHOULD contain a
   child <resellerext:infData> element that identifies the extension
   namespace if the domain object has data associated with this
   extension and based on its service policy.  The <resellerext:infData>
   element contains the following child elements:

   o  A <resellerext:id> element that contains the identifier of the
      reseller of a sponsoring registrar.

   Example <info> response for an authorized client:

4.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
   command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain name
   mapping [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping
   [RFC5733].

4.2.  EPP Transform Commands

   EPP provides five commands to transform domain objects: <create> to
   create an instance of a domain object, <delete> to delete an instance
   of a domain object, <renew> to extend the validity period of a domain
   object, <transfer> to manage domain object sponsorship changes, and
   <update> to change information associated with a domain object.

4.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <create>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping
   [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].  No additional elements are
   defined for the EPP <create> response.

   The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
   client to create a domain object.  In addition to the EPP command
   elements described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping
   [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733], the command MUST contain an
   <extension> element, and the <extension> element MUST contain a child
   <resellerext:create> element that identifies the extension namespace
   if the client wants to associate data defined in this extension to
   the domain object.  The <resellerext:create> element contains the
   following child elements:

   o  A <resellerext:id> element that contains the identifier of the
      reseller of a sponsoring registrar.

   When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
   response is as described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host
   mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].

   An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <create> command cannot
   be processed for any reason.

4.2.2.  EPP <delete> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <delete> command
   or <delete> response described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731],
   host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].

4.2.3.  EPP <renew> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <renew> command
   or <renew> response described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731],
   host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].

4.2.4.  EPP <transfer> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
   command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
   [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733], but
   after a successful transfer of an object with an assigned reseller,
   the server SHOULD clear the assigned reseller value.

4.2.5.  EPP <update> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <update>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping
   [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].  No additional elements are
   defined for the EPP <update> response.

   The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
   client to modify the attributes of a domain object.  In addition to
   the EPP command elements described in the EPP domain mapping, the
   command MUST contain an <extension> element, and the <extension>
   element MUST contain a child <resellerext:update> element that
   identifies the extension namespace if the client wants to update the
   domain object with data defined in this extension.  The
   <resellerext:update> element contains the following child elements:

   o  An OPTIONAL <resellerext:add> element that contains attribute
      values to be added to the object.

   o  An OPTIONAL <resellerext:rem> element that contains attribute
      values to be removed from the object.

   o  An OPTIONAL <resellerext:chg> element that contains attribute
      values to be changed.

   At least one and only one <resellerext:add>, <resellerext:rem> or

   When an extended <update> command has been processed successfully,
   the EPP response is as described in the EPP domain name mapping
   [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] and contact mapping [RFC5733].

5.  Formal Syntax

   An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation.  The
   formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of
   the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
   instances.  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
   are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
   registration purposes.

6.  Internationalization Considerations

   EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
   information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
   representations including UTF-8.  Conformant XML processors recognize
   both UTF-8 and UTF-16.  Though XML includes provisions to identify
   and use other character encodings through use of an "encoding"
   attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is RECOMMENDED.

   As an extension of the EPP domain name mapping, the elements, element
   content described in this document MUST inherit the
   internationalization conventions used to represent higher-layer
   domain and core protocol structures present in an XML instance that
   includes this extension.

7.  IANA Considerations

7.1.  XML Namespace

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].  IANA is
   requested to assignment the following URI.

   Registration request for the reseller namespace:

   o  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:reseller-1.0

   o  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
      document.

   o  XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

Internet-Draft       Reseller Extension for the EPP        December 2016


7.2.  EPP Extension Registry

   The EPP extension described in this document should be registered by
   the IANA in the EPP Extension Registry described in [RFC7451].  The
   details of the registration are as follows:

   Name of Extension: Domain Reseller Extension

   Document status: Standards Track

   Reference: (insert reference to RFC version of this document)

   Registrant Name and Email Address: See the "Author's Address" section
   of this document.

   TLDs: any

   IPR Disclosure: none

   Status: active

   Notes: none

8.  Security Considerations

   The object mapping extension described in this document does not
   provide any other security services or introduce any additional
   considerations beyond those described by [RFC5730], [RFC5731],
   [RFC5732] and [RFC5733] or those caused by the protocol layers used
   by EPP.

9.  Acknowledgement

   The authors would like to thank Rik Ribbers, Marc Groeneweg and
   Patrick Mevzek for their careful review and valuable comments.
