Introduction + + This document specifies the binding protocols used in conjunction + with ONC RPC Version 2. As a prerequisite, the reader is expected to + be familiar with [1] and [2] which describe the ONC RPC Version 2 and + XDR (eXternal Data Representation) protocols. + + An RPC service is identified by its RPC program number, version + number, and the transport address where it may be reached. The + transport address, in turn, consists of a network address and a + transport selector. In the case of a service available over TCP/IP + or UDP/IP, the network address will be an IP address, and the + transport selector will be a TCP or UDP port number. + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995 + + + A client program needs to know the RPC program number, version + number, and the transport address corresponding to a service in order + to utilize the service. Of these, the RPC program number and version + number are usually built into the client program, as part of the + service definition. The network address component of the transport + address is usually available in a name service, or is given as a + parameter to the client program. The transport selector (ie., the + TCP or UDP port) is usually determined dynamically, and varies with + each invocation of the service. Server programs allocate a transport + address, and register it with a well-known lookup service (well-known + because it uses a fixed transport selector, and resides at the same + network address as the server). Client programs consult the lookup + service in order to obtain the server's transport address. + + Such a lookup service is very desirable because the range of well- + known transport selectors is very small for some transports and the + number of services is potentially very large. By running only the + lookup service on a well-known transport selector, the transport + addresses of other remote programs can be ascertained by querying the + lookup service. + + This document describes three versions of a lookup service, all of + which use the same RPC program number (100000). They all use port + 111 over TCP and UDP transports. Versions 3 and 4 are described in + Section 2 ("RPCBIND Program Protocol"). Version 2 is described in + Section 3 ("Port Mapper Program Protocol"). + + The distinguishing characteristic of RPCBIND (versions 3 and 4) is + that this protocol uses a transport-independent format for the + transport address, known as the universal address format. An address + in universal address format is an ASCII string representation of the + transport dependent address. String representation of addresses + corresponding to a transport are defined by the addressing authority + for the transport. The RPCBIND protocol can be used for binding ONC + RPC clients and servers over any transport. + + The Port Mapper (version 2), on the other hand, is an older protocol + that is specific to TCP and UDP. It handles TCP and UDP ports + directly. + +2. RPCBIND Program Protocol + + The RPCBIND program maps RPC program and version numbers to universal + addresses, thus making dynamic binding of remote programs possible. + + The RPCBIND program is bound to a well-known address of each + supported transport, and other programs register their dynamically + allocated transport address with it. The RPCBIND program then makes + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995 + + + those addresses publicly available. + + The RPCBIND program also aids in broadcast RPC. A given RPC program + will usually have different transport address bindings on different + machines, so there is no way to directly broadcast to all of these + programs. The RPCBIND program, however, does have a well-known + address. So, to broadcast to a given program, the client actually + sends its message to the RPCBIND program located at the broadcast + address. Each instance of the RPCBIND program that picks up the + broadcast then calls the local service specified by the client. When + the RPCBIND program gets the reply from the local service, it sends + the reply back to the client. + +2.1 RPCBIND Protocol Specification (in RPC Language) + +/* + * rpcb_prot.x + * rpcbind protocol, versions 3 and 4, in RPC Language + */ + +/* + * rpcbind address for TCP/UDP + */ +const RPCB_PORT = 111; + +/* + * A mapping of (program, version, network ID) to address + * + * The network identifier (r_netid): + * This is a string that represents a local identification for a + * network.

For TCP/IP and UDP/IP, for example, it is port + number 111. Each transport has such an assigned, well-known address. + The following is a description of each of the procedures supported by + RPCBIND. + +2.2.1 RPCBIND Version 3 + + RPCBPROC_SET: + + When a program first becomes available on a machine, it registers + itself with RPCBIND running on the same machine. The program passes + its program number "r_prog", version number "r_vers", network + identifier "r_netid", universal address "r_addr", and the owner of + the service "r_owner". The procedure returns a boolean response + whose value is TRUE if the procedure successfully established the + mapping and FALSE otherwise. The procedure refuses to establish a + mapping if one already exists for the ordered set ("r_prog", + "r_vers", "r_netid"). Note that neither "r_netid" nor "r_addr" can + be NULL, and that "r_netid" should be a valid network identifier on + the machine making the call. + + RPCBPROC_UNSET: + + When a program becomes unavailable, it should unregister itself with + the RPCBIND program on the same machine. The parameters and results + have meanings identical to those of RPCBPROC_SET. The mapping of the + ("r_prog", "r_vers", "r_netid") tuple with "r_addr" is deleted. If + "r_netid" is NULL, all mappings specified by the ordered set + ("r_prog", "r_vers", *) and the corresponding universal addresses are + deleted. Only the owner of the service or the super-user is allowed + to unset a service. + + RPCBPROC_GETADDR: + + Given a program number "r_prog", version number "r_vers", and network + identifier "r_netid", this procedure returns the universal address + on which the program is awaiting call requests. The "r_netid" field + of the argument is ignored and the "r_netid" is inferred from the + network identifier of the transport on which the request came in. + + RPCBPROC_DUMP: + + This procedure lists all entries in RPCBIND's database. The + procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of program, version, + network identifier, and universal addresses. + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995 + + + RPCBPROC_CALLIT: + + This procedure allows a caller to call another remote procedure on + the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's universal + address. It is intended for supporting broadcasts to arbitrary + remote programs via RPCBIND's universal address. The parameters + "prog", "vers", "proc", and args are the program number, version + number, procedure number, and parameters of the remote procedure. + + Note - This procedure only sends a response if the procedure was + successfully executed and is silent (no response) otherwise. + + The procedure returns the remote program's universal address, and the + results of the remote procedure. + + RPCBPROC_GETTIME: + + This procedure returns the local time on its own machine in seconds + since the midnight of the First day of January, 1970. + + RPCBPROC_UADDR2TADDR: + + This procedure converts universal addresses to transport specific + addresses. + + RPCBPROC_TADDR2UADDR: + + This procedure converts transport specific addresses to universal + addresses. + +2.2.2 RPCBIND, Version 4 + + Version 4 of the RPCBIND protocol includes all of the above + procedures, and adds several additional ones. + + RPCBPROC_BCAST: + + This procedure is identical to the version 3 RPCBPROC_CALLIT + procedure. The new name indicates that the procedure should be used + for broadcast RPCs only. RPCBPROC_INDIRECT, defined below, should be + used for indirect RPC calls. + + RPCBPROC_GETVERSADDR: + + This procedure is similar to RPCBPROC_GETADDR. The difference is the + "r_vers" field of the rpcb structure can be used to specify the + version of interest. If that version is not registered, no address + is returned. + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995 + + + RPCBPROC_INDIRECT: + + Similar to RPCBPROC_CALLIT. Instead of being silent about errors + (such as the program not being registered on the system), this + procedure returns an indication of the error. This procedure should + not be used for broadcast RPC. It is intended to be used with + indirect RPC calls only. + + RPCBPROC_GETADDRLIST: + + This procedure returns a list of addresses for the given rpcb entry. + The client may be able use the results to determine alternate + transports that it can use to communicate with the server. + + RPCBPROC_GETSTAT: + + This procedure returns statistics on the activity of the RPCBIND + server. The information lists the number and kind of requests the + server has received. + + Note - All procedures except RPCBPROC_SET and RPCBPROC_UNSET can be + called by clients running on a machine other than a machine on which + RPCBIND is running. RPCBIND only accepts RPCBPROC_SET and + RPCBPROC_UNSET requests by clients running on the same machine as the + RPCBIND program. + +3. Port Mapper Program Protocol + + The port mapper program maps RPC program and version numbers to + transport- specific port numbers. This program makes dynamic binding + of remote programs possible.

The portmapper is contacted by talking to it on assigned port + number 111 (SUNRPC) on either of these protocols. + + The following is a description of each of the portmapper procedures: + + PMAPPROC_NULL: + + This procedure does no work. By convention, procedure zero of any + protocol takes no parameters and returns no results. + + PMAPPROC_SET: + + When a program first becomes available on a machine, it registers + itself with the port mapper program on the same machine. The program + passes its program number "prog", version number "vers", transport + protocol number "prot", and the port "port" on which it awaits + service request. The procedure returns a boolean reply whose value + is "TRUE" if the procedure successfully established the mapping and + "FALSE" otherwise. The procedure refuses to establish a mapping if + one already exists for the tuple "(prog, vers, prot)". + + PMAPPROC_UNSET: + + When a program becomes unavailable, it should unregister itself with + the port mapper program on the same machine. The parameters and + results have meanings identical to those of "PMAPPROC_SET". The + protocol and port number fields of the argument are ignored. + + PMAPPROC_GETPORT: + + Given a program number "prog", version number "vers", and transport + protocol number "prot", this procedure returns the port number on + which the program is awaiting call requests. A port value of zeros + means the program has not been registered. The "port" field of the + argument is ignored. + + PMAPPROC_DUMP: + + This procedure enumerates all entries in the port mapper's database. + The procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of program, + version, protocol, and port values. + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 13] + +RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995 + + + PMAPPROC_CALLIT: + + This procedure allows a client to call another remote procedure on + the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's port number. + It is intended for supporting broadcasts to arbitrary remote programs + via the well-known port mapper's port. The parameters "prog", + "vers", "proc", and the bytes of "args" are the program number, + version number, procedure number, and parameters of the remote + procedure. Note: + + (1) This procedure only sends a reply if the procedure was + successfully executed and is silent (no reply) otherwise. + + (2) The port mapper communicates with the remote program using UDP + only. + + The procedure returns the remote program's port number, and the reply + is the reply of the remote procedure. + +References + + [1] Srinivasan, R., "Remote Procedure Call Protocol Version 2", + RFC 1831, Sun Microsystems, Inc., August 1995. + + [2] Srinivasan, R., "XDR: External Data Representation Standard", + RFC 1832, Sun Microsystems, Inc., August 1995. + +Security Considerations + + Security issues are not discussed in this memo. + +Author's Address + + Raj Srinivasan + Sun Microsystems, Inc. + ONC Technologies + 2550 Garcia Avenue + M/S MTV-5-40 + Mountain View, CA 94043 + USA + + Phone: 415-336-2478 + Fax: 415-336-6015 + EMail: raj@eng.sun.com + + + + + + + +Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 14] + |
