+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ This document describes an Internet domain name mapping for version
+ 1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP). This mapping is
+ specified using the Extensible Markup Language (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].
+ This document obsoletes RFC 3731 [RFC3731].
+
+ [RFC4930] provides a complete description of EPP command and response
+ structures. A thorough understanding of the base protocol
+ specification is necessary to understand the mapping described in
+ this document.
+
+ 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.
+
+1.1. Relationship of Domain Objects and Host Objects
+
+ The EPP mapping for host objects is described in [RFC4932]. This
+ document assumes that domain name objects have a superordinate
+ relationship to subordinate host name objects. For example, domain
+ name "example.com" has a superordinate relationship to host name
+ "ns1.example.com". EPP actions (such as object transfers) that do
+ not preserve this relationship MUST be explicitly disallowed.
+
+ A host name object can be created in a repository for which no
+ superordinate domain name object exists. For example, host name
+ "ns1.example.com" can be created in the ".example" repository so that
+ DNS domains in ".example" can be delegated to the host. Such hosts
+ are described as "external" hosts in this specification since the
+ name of the host does not belong to the name space of the repository
+ in which the host is being used for delegation purposes.
+
+ Whether a host is external or internal relates to the repository in
+ which the host is being used for delegation purposes. Whether or not
+ an internal host is subordinate relates to a domain within the
+ repository. For example, host ns1.example1.com is a subordinate host
+ of domain example1.com, but it is not a subordinate host of domain
+ example2.com. ns1.example1.com can be used as a name server for
+ example2.com. In this case, ns1.example1.com MUST be treated as an
+ internal host, subject to the rules governing operations on
+ subordinate hosts within the same repository.
+
+ Name server hosts for domain delegation can be specified as either
+ references to existing host objects or as domain attributes that
+ describe a host machine. A server operator MUST use one name server
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ specification form consistently. A server operator that announces
+ support for host objects in an EPP greeting MUST NOT allow domain
+ attributes to describe a name server host machine. A server operator
+ that does not announce support for host objects MUST allow domain
+ attributes to describe a name server host machine. When domain
+ attributes are used to describe a name server host machine, IP
+ addresses SHOULD be required only as needed to generate DNS glue
+ records.
+
+ Name servers are specified within a <domain:ns> element. This
+ element MUST contain one or more <domain:hostObj> elements or one or
+ more <domain:hostAttr> elements. A <domain:hostObj> element contains
+ the fully qualified name of a known name server host object. A
+ <domain:hostAttr> element contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:hostName> element that contains the fully qualified name
+ of a host.
+
+ - Zero or more OPTIONAL <domain:hostAddr> elements that contain the
+ IP addresses to be associated with the host. Each element MAY
+ contain an "ip" attribute to identify the IP address format.
+ Attribute value "v4" is used to note IPv4 address format.
+ Attribute value "v6" is used to note IPv6 address format. If the
+ "ip" attribute is not specified, "v4" is the default attribute
+ value. IP address syntax requirements are described in Section
+ 2.5 of the EPP host mapping [RFC4932].
+
+ Example host object name server elements for domain example.com:
+
+ <domain:ns>
+ <domain:hostObj>ns1.example.com</domain:hostObj>
+ <domain:hostObj>ns1.example.net</domain:hostObj>
+ </domain:ns>
+
+ Example host attribute name server elements for domain example.com:
+
+ <domain:ns>
+ <domain:hostAttr>
+ <domain:hostName>ns1.example.com</domain:hostName>
+ <domain:hostAddr
+ ip="v4">192.0.2.2</domain:hostAddr>
+ <domain:hostAddr
+ ip="v6">1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A</domain:hostAddr>
+ </domain:hostAttr>
+ <domain:hostAttr>
+ <domain:hostName>ns1.example.net</domain:hostName>
+ </domain:hostAttr>
+ </domain:ns>

+
+
+1.2. 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 protocol.
+
+2. Object Attributes
+
+ An EPP domain object has attributes and associated values that can be
+ viewed and modified by the sponsoring client or the server. This
+ section describes each attribute type in detail. The formal syntax
+ for the attribute values described here can be found in the "Formal
+ Syntax" section of this document and in the appropriate normative
+ references.
+
+2.1. Domain and Host Names
+
+ The syntax for domain and host names described in this document MUST
+ conform to [RFC0952] as updated by [RFC1123]. At the time of this
+ writing, RFC 3490 [RFC3490] describes a standard to use certain ASCII
+ name labels to represent non-ASCII name labels. These conformance
+ requirements might change as a result of progressing work in
+ developing standards for internationalized domain names. A server
+ MAY restrict allowable domain names to a particular top-level domain,
+ second-level domain, or other domain for which the server is
+ authoritative. The trailing dot required when these names are stored
+ in a DNS zone is implicit and MUST NOT be provided when exchanging
+ host and domain names.
+
+2.2. Contact and Client Identifiers
+
+ All EPP contacts are identified by a server-unique identifier.
+ Contact identifiers are character strings with a specified minimum
+ length, a specified maximum length, and a specified format. Contact
+ identifiers use the "clIDType" client identifier syntax described in
+ [RFC4930].
+
+2.3. Status Values
+
+ A domain object MUST always have at least one associated status
+ value. Status values can be set only by the client that sponsors a
+ domain object and by the server on which the object resides. A
+ client can change the status of a domain object using the EPP
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ <update> command. Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string
+ of human-readable text that describes the rationale for the status
+ applied to the object.
+
+ A client MUST NOT alter status values set by the server. A server
+ MAY alter or override status values set by a client subject to local
+ server policies. The status of an object MAY change as a result of
+ either a client-initiated transform command or an action performed by
+ a server operator.
+
+ Status values that can be added or removed by a client are prefixed
+ with "client". Corresponding status values that can be added or
+ removed by a server are prefixed with "server". Status values that
+ do not begin with either "client" or "server" are server-managed.
+
+ Status Value Descriptions:
+
+ - clientDeleteProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited
+
+ Requests to delete the object MUST be rejected.
+
+ - clientHold, serverHold
+
+ DNS delegation information MUST NOT be published for the object.
+
+ - clientRenewProhibited, serverRenewProhibited
+
+ Requests to renew the object MUST be rejected.
+
+ - clientTransferProhibited, serverTransferProhibited
+
+ Requests to transfer the object MUST be rejected.
+
+ - clientUpdateProhibited, serverUpdateProhibited
+
+ Requests to update the object (other than to remove this status)
+ MUST be rejected.
+
+ - inactive
+
+ Delegation information has not been associated with the object.
+
+ - ok
+
+ This is the normal status value for an object that has no pending
+ operations or prohibitions. This value is set and removed by the
+ server as other status values are added or removed.
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ - pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer,
+ pendingUpdate
+
+ A transform command has been processed for the object, but the
+ action has not been completed by the server. Server operators can
+ delay action completion for a variety of reasons, such as to allow
+ for human review or third-party action. A transform command that
+ is processed, but whose requested action is pending, is noted with
+ response code 1001.
+
+ When the requested action has been completed, the pendingCreate,
+ pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, or pendingUpdate status
+ value MUST be removed. All clients involved in the transaction MUST
+ be notified using a service message that the action has been
+ completed and that the status of the object has changed.
+
+ "ok" status MUST NOT be combined with any other status.
+
+ "pendingDelete" status MUST NOT be combined with either
+ "clientDeleteProhibited" or "serverDeleteProhibited" status.
+
+ "pendingRenew" status MUST NOT be combined with either
+ "clientRenewProhibited" or "serverRenewProhibited" status.
+
+ "pendingTransfer" status MUST NOT be combined with either
+ "clientTransferProhibited" or "serverTransferProhibited" status.
+
+ "pendingUpdate" status MUST NOT be combined with either
+ "clientUpdateProhibited" or "serverUpdateProhibited" status.
+
+ The pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, and
+ pendingUpdate status values MUST NOT be combined with each other.
+
+ Other status combinations not expressly prohibited MAY be used.
+
+2.4. Dates and Times
+
+ Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
+ Coordinated Time (UTC) using the Gregorian calendar. The extended
+ date-time form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in
+ [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] MUST be used to represent date-time
+ values as XML Schema does not support truncated date-time forms or
+ lower case "T" and "Z" characters.
+
+
+
+
+

+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+2.5. Validity Periods
+
+ A domain name object MAY have a specified validity period. If server
+ policy supports domain object validity periods, the validity period
+ is defined when a domain object is created, and it MAY be extended by
+ the EPP <renew> or <transfer> commands. As a matter of server
+ policy, this specification does not define actions to be taken upon
+ expiration of a domain object's validity period.
+
+ Validity periods are measured in years or months with the appropriate
+ units specified using the "unit" attribute. Valid values for the
+ "unit" attribute are "y" for years and "m" for months. The minimum
+ allowable period value is one (1). The maximum allowable value is
+ ninety-nine decimal (99). A server MAY support a lower maximum
+ value.
+
+2.6. Authorization Information
+
+ Authorization information is associated with domain objects to
+ facilitate transfer operations. Authorization information is
+ assigned when a domain object is created, and it might be updated in
+ the future. This specification describes password-based
+ authorization information, though other mechanisms are possible.
+
+2.7. Other DNS Resource Record Attributes
+
+ While the DNS allows many resource record types to be associated with
+ a domain, this mapping only explicitly specifies elements that
+ describe resource records used for domain delegation and resolution.
+ Facilities to provision other domain-related resource record types
+ can be developed by extending this mapping.
+
+ The provisioning method described in this mapping separates discrete
+ data elements by data type. This method of data definition allows
+ XML Schema processors to perform basic syntax validation tasks,
+ reducing ambiguity and the amount of parsing and syntax-checking work
+ required of protocol processors. Provisioning and extension methods
+ that aggregate data into opaque strings are possible, but such
+ methods SHOULD NOT be used because they impose additional parsing,
+ interpretation, and validation requirements on protocol processors.

+
+
+3. EPP Command Mapping
+
+ A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
+ in [RFC4930]. The command mappings described here are specifically
+ for use in provisioning and managing Internet domain names via EPP.
+
+3.1. 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.
+
+3.1.1. EPP <check> Command
+
+ The EPP <check> command is used to determine if an object can be
+ provisioned within a repository. It provides a hint that allows a
+ client to anticipate the success or failure of provisioning an object
+ using the <create> command as object provisioning requirements are
+ ultimately a matter of server policy.
+
+ In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the <check> command
+ MUST contain a <domain:check> element that identifies the domain
+ namespace. The <domain:check> element contains the following child
+ elements:
+
+ - One or more <domain:name> elements that contain the fully
+ qualified names of the domain objects to be queried.
+
+ Example <check> 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: <check>
+ C: <domain:check
+ C: xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
+ C: <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
+ C: <domain:name>example.net</domain:name>
+ C: <domain:name>example.org</domain:name>
+ C: </domain:check>
+ C: </check>
+ C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
+ C: </command>
+ C:</epp>
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ When a <check> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
+ <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:chkData> element that
+ identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:chkData> element
+ contains one or more <domain:cd> elements that contain the following
+ child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the queried domain object. This element MUST contain an "avail"
+ attribute whose value indicates object availability (can it be
+ provisioned or not) at the moment the <check> command was
+ completed. A value of "1" or "true" means that the object can be
+ provisioned. A value of "0" or "false" means that the object can
+ not be provisioned.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:reason> element that MAY be provided when an
+ object cannot be provisioned. If present, this element contains
+ server-specific text to help explain why the object cannot be
+ provisioned. This text MUST be represented in the response
+ language previously negotiated with the client; an OPTIONAL "lang"
+ attribute MAY be present to identify the language if the
+ negotiated value is something other than the default value of "en"
+ (English).
+
+ Example <check> response:
+
+ S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
+ S:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
+ S: <response>
+ S: <result code="1000">
+ S: <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
+ S: </result>
+ S: <resData>
+ S: <domain:chkData
+ S: xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
+ S: <domain:cd>
+ S: <domain:name avail="1">example.com</domain:name>
+ S: </domain:cd>
+ S: <domain:cd>
+ S: <domain:name avail="0">example.net</domain:name>
+ S: <domain:reason>In use</domain:reason>
+ S: </domain:cd>
+ S: <domain:cd>
+ S: <domain:name avail="1">example.org</domain:name>
+ S: </domain:cd>
+ S: </domain:chkData>
+ S: </resData>
+ S: <trID>
+ S: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>

+
+
+ S: <svTRID>54322-XYZ</svTRID>
+ S: </trID>
+ S: </response>
+ S:</epp>
+
+ An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <check> command cannot be
+ processed for any reason.
+
+3.1.2. EPP <info> Command
+
+ The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve information associated
+ with a domain object. The response to this command MAY vary
+ depending on the identity of the querying client, use of
+ authorization information, and server policy towards unauthorized
+ clients. If the querying client is the sponsoring client, all
+ available information MUST be returned. If the querying client is
+ not the sponsoring client, but the client provides valid
+ authorization information, all available information MUST be
+ returned. If the querying client is not the sponsoring client, and
+ the client does not provide valid authorization information, server
+ policy determines which OPTIONAL elements are returned.
+
+ In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the <info> command
+ MUST contain a <domain:info> element that identifies the domain
+ namespace. The <domain:info> element contains the following child
+ elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object to be queried. An OPTIONAL "hosts" attribute is
+ available to control return of information describing hosts
+ related to the domain object. A value of "all" (the default,
+ which MAY be absent) returns information describing both
+ subordinate and delegated hosts. A value of "del" returns
+ information describing only delegated hosts. A value of "sub"
+ returns information describing only subordinate hosts. A value of
+ "none" returns no information describing delegated or subordinate
+ hosts.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
+ information associated with the domain object or authorization
+ information associated with the domain object's registrant or
+ associated contacts. An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to
+ identify the registrant or contact object if and only if the given
+ authInfo is associated with a registrant or contact object, and
+ not the domain object itself. If this element is not provided or
+ if the authorization information is invalid, server policy
+ determines if the command is rejected or if response information
+ will be returned to the client.

+
+ When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
+ <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:infData> element that
+ identifies the domain namespace. Elements that are not OPTIONAL MUST
+ be returned; OPTIONAL elements are returned based on client
+ authorization and server policy. The <domain:infData> element
+ contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object.
+
+ - A <domain:roid> element that contains the Repository Object
+ IDentifier assigned to the domain object when the object was
+ created.

+
+ - If supported by the server, one OPTIONAL <domain:registrant>
+ element and one or more OPTIONAL <domain:contact> elements that
+ contain identifiers for the human or organizational social
+ information objects associated with the domain object.
+

+3.1.3. EPP <transfer> Query Command
+
+ The EPP <transfer> command provides a query operation that allows a
+ client to determine real-time status of pending and completed
+ transfer requests. In addition to the standard EPP command elements,
+ the <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute with value
+ "query", and a <domain:transfer> element that identifies the domain
+ namespace. The <domain:transfer> element contains the following
+ child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object to be queried.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
+ information associated with the domain object or authorization
+ information associated with the domain object's registrant or
+ associated contacts. An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to
+ identify the registrant or contact object if and only if the given
+ authInfo is associated with a registrant or contact object, and
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 15]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ not the domain object itself. If this element is not provided or
+ if the authorization information is invalid, server policy
+ determines if the command is rejected or if response information
+ will be returned to the client.
+
+ Example <transfer> query 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: <transfer op="query">

+ C: </transfer>
+ C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
+ C: </command>
+ C:</epp>
+
+ When a <transfer> query command has been processed successfully, the
+ EPP <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:trnData> element
+ that identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:trnData> element
+ contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object.
+
+ - A <domain:trStatus> element that contains the state of the most
+ recent transfer request.
+
+ - A <domain:reID> element that contains the identifier of the client
+ that requested the object transfer.
+
+ - A <domain:reDate> element that contains the date and time that the
+ transfer was requested.
+
+ - A <domain:acID> element that contains the identifier of the client
+ that SHOULD act upon a PENDING transfer request. For all other
+ status types, the value identifies the client that took the
+ indicated action.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 16]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ - A <domain:acDate> element that contains the date and time of a
+ required or completed response. For a PENDING request, the value
+ identifies the date and time by which a response is required
+ before an automated response action will be taken by the server.
+ For all other status types, the value identifies the date and time
+ when the request was completed.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:exDate> element that contains the end of the
+ domain object's validity period if the <transfer> command caused
+ or causes a change in the validity period.
+
+ Example <transfer> query response:
+
+ S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

+
+3.2. 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.
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 17]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ Transform commands are typically processed and completed in real
+ time. Server operators MAY receive and process transform commands,
+ but defer completing the requested action if human or third-party
+ review is required before the requested action can be completed. In
+ such situations the server MUST return a 1001 response code to the
+ client to note that the command has been received and processed, but
+ the requested action is pending. The server MUST also manage the
+ status of the object that is the subject of the command to reflect
+ the initiation and completion of the requested action. Once the
+ action has been completed, all clients involved in the transaction
+ MUST be notified using a service message that the action has been
+ completed and that the status of the object has changed.
+
+3.2.1. EPP <create> Command
+
+ The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
+ client to create a domain object. In addition to the standard EPP
+ command elements, the <create> command MUST contain a <domain:create>
+ element that identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:create>
+ element contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object to be created.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the initial
+ registration period of the domain object. A server MAY define a
+ default initial registration period if not specified by the
+ client.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:ns> element that contains the fully qualified
+ names of the delegated host objects or host attributes (name
+ servers) associated with the domain object to provide resolution
+ services for the domain; see Section 1.1 for a description of the
+ elements used to specify host objects or host attributes. A host
+ object MUST be known to the server before the host object can be
+ associated with a domain object.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:registrant> element that contains the
+ identifier for the human or organizational social information
+ (contact) object to be associated with the domain object as the
+ object registrant. This object identifier MUST be known to the
+ server before the contact object can be associated with the domain
+ object. The EPP mapping for contact objects is described in
+ [RFC4933].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 18]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ - Zero or more OPTIONAL <domain:contact> elements that contain the
+ identifiers for other contact objects to be associated with the
+ domain object. Contact object identifiers MUST be known to the
+ server before the contact object can be associated with the domain
+ object.
+
+ - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
+ information to be associated with the domain object. This mapping
+ includes a password-based authentication mechanism, but the schema
+ allows new mechanisms to be defined in new schemas.
+
+ Example <create> command:
+
+ C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
+ C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">

+
+ When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
+ <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:creData> element that

+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object.
+
+ - A <domain:crDate> element that contains the date and time of
+ domain object creation.

+3.2.2. EPP <delete> Command
+
+ The EPP <delete> command provides a transform operation that allows a
+ client to delete a domain object. In addition to the standard EPP
+ command elements, the <delete> command MUST contain a <domain:delete>
+ element that identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:delete>
+ element contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object to be deleted.
+
+ A domain object SHOULD NOT be deleted if subordinate host objects are
+ associated with the domain object. For example, if domain
+ "example.com" exists, and host object "ns1.example.com" also exists,
+ then domain "example.com" SHOULD NOT be deleted until host
+ "ns1.example.com" has been either deleted or renamed to exist in a
+ different superordinate domain. A server SHOULD notify clients that
+ object relationships exist by sending a 2305 error response code when
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 20]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ a <delete> command is attempted and fails due to existing object
+ relationships. Delegated and subordinate host objects associated
+ with a domain object can be determined using the <info> query command
+ for the domain object.
+
+ Example <delete> command:
+
+ C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
+ C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">

+
+3.2.3. EPP <renew> Command
+
+ The EPP <renew> command provides a transform operation that allows a
+ client to extend the validity period of a domain object. In addition
+ to the standard EPP command elements, the <renew> command MUST
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 21]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ contain a <domain:renew> element that identifies the domain
+ namespace. The <domain:renew> element contains the following child
+ elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object whose validity period is to be extended.
+
+ - A <domain:curExpDate> element that contains the date on which the
+ current validity period ends. This value ensures that repeated
+ <renew> commands do not result in multiple unanticipated
+ successful renewals.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
+ units to be added to the registration period of the domain object.
+ The number of units available MAY be subject to limits imposed by

+
+ The EPP <transfer> command provides a transform operation that allows
+ a client to manage requests to transfer the sponsorship of a domain
+ object. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
+ <transfer> command MUST contain a <domain:transfer> element that
+ identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:transfer> element
+ contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object for which a transfer request is to be created,
+ approved, rejected, or cancelled.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
+ units to be added to the registration period of the domain object
+ at completion of the transfer process. This element can only be
+ used when a transfer is requested, and it MUST be ignored if used
+ otherwise. The number of units available MAY be subject to limits
+ imposed by the server.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 23]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
+ information associated with the domain object or authorization
+ information associated with the domain object's registrant or
+ associated contacts. An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to
+ identify the registrant or contact object if and only if the given
+ authInfo is associated with a registrant or contact object, and
+ not the domain object itself.
+
+ Every EPP <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute that
+ identifies the transfer operation to be performed. Valid values,
+ definitions, and authorizations for all attribute values are defined
+ in [RFC4930].
+
+ Transfer of a domain object MUST implicitly transfer all host objects
+ that are subordinate to the domain object. For example, if domain
+ object "example.com" is transferred and host object "ns1.example.com"
+ exists, the host object MUST be transferred as part of the
+ "example.com" transfer process. Host objects that are subject to
+ transfer when transferring a domain object are listed in the response
+ to an EPP <info> command performed on the domain object.

+3.2.5. EPP <update> Command
+
+ The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
+ client to modify the attributes of a domain object. In addition to
+ the standard EPP command elements, the <update> command MUST contain
+ a <domain:update> element that identifies the domain namespace. The
+ <domain:update> element contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object to be updated.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:add> element that contains attribute values to
+ be added to the object.
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:rem> element that contains attribute values to
+ be removed from the object.
+
+
+
+
+
+Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 25]
+
+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:chg> element that contains object attribute
+ values to be changed.
+
+ At least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg> element MUST
+ be provided if the command is not being extended. All of these
+ elements MAY be omitted if an <update> extension is present. The
+ <domain:add> and <domain:rem> elements contain the following child
+ elements:
+
+ - An OPTIONAL <domain:ns> element that contains the fully qualified
+ names of the delegated host objects or host attributes (name
+ servers) associated with the domain object to provide resolution
+ services for the domain; see Section 1.1 for a description of the
+ elements used to specify host objects or host attributes. A host
+ object MUST be known to the server before the host object can be
+ associated with a domain object. If host attributes are used to
+ specify name servers, note that IP address elements are not needed
+ to identify a name server that is being removed. IP address
+ elements can safely be absent or ignored in this situation.
+
+ - Zero or more <domain:contact> elements that contain the
+ identifiers for contact objects to be associated with or removed
+ from the domain object. Contact object identifiers MUST be known
+ to the server before the contact object can be associated with the
+ domain object.
+
+ - Zero or more <domain:status> elements that contain status values
+ to be applied to or removed from the object. When specifying a
+ value to be removed, only the attribute value is significant;
+ element text is not required to match a value for removal.
+
+ A <domain:chg> element contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:registrant> element that contains the identifier for the
+ human or organizational social information (contact) object to be
+ associated with the domain object as the object registrant. This
+ object identifier MUST be known to the server before the contact
+ object can be associated with the domain object. An empty element
+ can be used to remove registrant information.
+
+ - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
+ information associated with the domain object. This mapping
+ includes a password-based authentication mechanism, but the schema
+ allows new mechanisms to be defined in new schemas. A <domain:
+ null> element can be used within the <domain:authInfo> element to
+ remove authorization information.

+3.3. Offline Review of Requested Actions
+
+ Commands are processed by a server in the order they are received
+ from a client. Though an immediate response confirming receipt and
+ processing of the command is produced by the server, a server
+ operator MAY perform an offline review of requested transform
+ commands before completing the requested action. In such situations,
+ the response from the server MUST clearly note that the transform
+ command has been received and processed, but the requested action is
+ pending. The status of the corresponding object MUST clearly reflect
+ processing of the pending action. The server MUST notify the client
+ when offline processing of the action has been completed.
+
+ Examples describing a <create> command that requires offline review
+ are included here. Note the result code and message returned in
+ response to the <create> command.

+ The status of the domain object after returning this response MUST
+ include "pendingCreate". The server operator reviews the request
+ offline, and informs the client of the outcome of the review either
+ by queuing a service message for retrieval via the <poll> command or
+ by using an out-of-band mechanism to inform the client of the
+ request.
+
+ The service message MUST contain text in the <response>, <msgQ>,
+ <msg> element that describes the notification. In addition, the EPP
+ <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:panData> element that
+ identifies the domain namespace. The <domain:panData> element
+ contains the following child elements:
+
+ - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
+ the domain object. The <domain:name> element contains a REQUIRED
+ "paResult" attribute. A positive boolean value indicates that the
+ request has been approved and completed. A negative boolean value
+ indicates that the request has been denied and the requested
+ action has not been taken.
+
+ - A <domain:paTRID> element that contains the client transaction
+ identifier and server transaction identifier returned with the
+ original response to process the command. The client transaction
+ identifier is OPTIONAL and will only be returned if the client
+ provided an identifier with the original <create> command.

+5. 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 [RFC2781]. 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 in environments where parser encoding support
+ incompatibility exists.
+
+ All date-time values presented via EPP MUST be expressed in Universal
+ Coordinated Time using the Gregorian calendar. XML Schema allows use
+ of time zone identifiers to indicate offsets from the zero meridian,
+ but this option MUST NOT be used with EPP. The extended date-time
+ form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in
+ [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] MUST be used to represent date-time
+ values as XML Schema does not support truncated date-time forms or
+ lower case "T" and "Z" characters.
+
+ This document requires domain and host name syntax as specified in
+ [RFC0952] as updated by [RFC1123]. At the time of this writing, RFC
+ 3490 [RFC3490] describes a standard to use certain ASCII name labels
+ to represent non-ASCII name labels. These conformance requirements
+ might change as a result of progressing work in developing standards
+ for internationalized domain names.
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
+ conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. Two URI
+ assignments have been registered by the IANA.
+
+ Registration request for the domain namespace:
+
+ URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
+
+
+

+RFC 4931 EPP Domain Name Mapping May 2007
+
+
+ Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
+ document.
+
+ XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
+
+ Registration request for the domain XML schema:
+
+ URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:domain-1.0
+
+ Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
+ document.
+
+ XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
+
+7. Security Considerations
+
+ Authorization information as described in section 2.6 is REQUIRED to
+ create a domain object. This information is used in some query and
+ transfer operations as an additional means of determining client
+ authorization to perform the command. Failure to protect
+ authorization information from inadvertent disclosure can result in
+ unauthorized transfer operations and unauthorized information
+ release. Both client and server MUST ensure that authorization
+ information is stored and exchanged with high-grade encryption
+ mechanisms to provide privacy services.
+
+ The object mapping described in this document does not provide any
+ other security services or introduce any additional considerations
+ beyond those described by [RFC4930] and protocol layers used by EPP.

+
+
+Appendix A. Changes from RFC 3731
+
+ 1. Minor reformatting as a result of converting I-D source format
+ from nroff to XML.
+
+ 2. Removed this text from Section 2.3:
+
+ "With one exception, transform commands MUST be rejected when a
+ pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, or
+ pendingUpdate status is set. The only exception is that a
+ <transfer> command to approve, reject, or cancel a transfer MAY
+ be processed while an object is in "pendingTransfer" status."
+
+ 3. Changed text in Section 3.1.3 from "A <domain:acID> element that
+ contains the identifier of the client that SHOULD act upon the
+ transfer request" to "A <domain:acID> element that contains the
+ identifier of the client that SHOULD act upon a PENDING transfer
+ request. For all other status types, the value identifies the
+ client that took the indicated action".
+
+ 4. Changed text in Section 3.2.5 (old Section 3.2.1.4) from "At
+ least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg> element
+ MUST be provided." to "At least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>,
+ or <domain:chg> element MUST be provided if the command is not
+ being extended. All of these elements MAY be omitted if an
+ <update> extension is present."
+
+ 5. Renumbered old Section 3.2.6 to new Section 3.3.
+
+ 6. Changed text in Section 3.3 (old Section 3.2.6) from this:
+
+ "The server operator reviews the request offline, and informs the
+ client of the outcome of the review by queuing a service message
+ for retrieval via the <poll> command."
+
+ to this:
+
+ "The server operator reviews the request offline, and informs the
+ client of the outcome of the review either by queuing a service
+ message for retrieval via the <poll> command or by using an out-
+ of-band mechanism to inform the client of the request."
+
+ 7. Removed text describing use of the XML Schema schemaLocation
+ attribute. This is an optional attribute that doesn't need to be
+ mandated for use in EPP.
+
+ 8. Removed references to RFC 3339 and replaced them with references
+ to the W3C XML Schema specification.
