1.  Introduction

   There is a need for standard mechanisms to allow NETCONF [RFC6241]
   and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocol operations, as well as NMDA
   operations for NETCONF [RFC8526] and RESTCONF [RFC8527], to utilize
   the module tag mapping definitions defined in
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-module-tags].  Netconf Access Control rules defined
   in [RFC8341] can also utilize module tags to simplify access control
   rule configuration.

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

1.2.  Tree Diagrams

   Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
   [RFC8340].

2.  Module Tag Operations

   A module tag is a string associated with a module name.  Modules are
   associated with the same module tag for the purpose of simplifying
   protocol operations, and other tool-specific operations.

   The definition and management of module tags is defined in the ietf-
   module-tags module.  This document defines augmentations to NETCONF
   protocol operations that use module tags defined in that module to
   represent YANG datastore content instead of a list of module names or
   data nodes.

   A server vendor and operator can install module to module tag
   mappings on a server, using the ietf-module-tags YANG module.
   Support for that module is required to utilize the mechanisms defined
   in this document.

   The following tree diagram shows the 4 separate augmentations defined
   in this module:

     module: ietf-module-tag-ops
       augment /ncds:get-data/ncds:input:
         +---w module-tag*   tags:tag
       augment /nacm:nacm/nacm:rule-list/nacm:rule/nacm:rule-type:
         +--:(module-tags)
            +--rw module-tag*   tags:tag
       augment /nc:get-config/nc:input:
         +---w module-tag*   tags:tag
       augment /nc:get/nc:input:
         +---w module-tag*   tags:tag

2.1.  Module Tag Filters

   Data retrieval filters based on module tags allow an operator to
   easily include only data of specific interest, without having to know
   the exact path identifiers for these objects within the datastore.
   Module tags can be pre-defined in the YANG module or YANG Module Tags
   Registry ([I-D.ietf-netmod-module-tags], sec. 7.2).  Module tag
   mappings can also be pre-installed by the server vendor, so no
   complex setup is required by an operator to use module tag filters.

   The NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols do not have any way to select
   content by module name at all.  In every case, either all content is

   included or specific data node paths have to be provided by the
   client to include the associated data instances.

2.1.1.  NETCONF "module-tag" RPC Input Parameter

   The NETCONF protocol has 2 non-NMDA [RFC6241] retrieval operations
   (<get-config> and <get>) and 1 NMDA [RFC8526] retrieval operation
   (<get-data>).  This document defines a "module-tag" grouping that is
   used an additional rpc input parameter for each operation.  It can be
   applied to all server content that is accessible with these protocol
   operations.

2.1.2.  RESTCONF "module-tag" Query Parameter

   The RESTCONF protocol has a GET operation that allows query
   parameters to be provided to modify the retrieval operation.  This
   document defines a new query parameter named "module-tag" that has
   the same semantics as the "module-tag" YANG data node definition.  It
   also defines a RESTCONF Capability URN for a server to indicate that
   this query parameter is supported.

2.2.  NACM "module-tags" Rule Type

   The Network Configuration Access Control Protocol (NACM) [RFC8341]
   allows access control entries to apply to one module or all modules.
   This document defines a new "rule-type" case within a "rule" list
   entry, which allows the access control rule to apply to all the
   modules associated with one or more module tag values.

   This new rule type is intended to replace the "module-name" parameter
   in the "rule" list entry.  Module tag filters are intended to be used
   with the default "module-name" value "*" to represent all modules.
   This new "module-tags" rule imposes new restrictions on the rule
   selection, so it is backward compatible with the definitions in
   [RFC8341].

   NACM rules using the "module-tag" parameter within the new
   "module-tags" case can be applied to configuration data, operational
   state, protocol operations and notification events.  This rule type
   works exactly the same way as the "module-name" leaf within the
   "rule" list entry, except it applies to all associated module names,
   instead of one.

             1) The module name associated with the data node
                is determined according to the protocol and
                message encoding.

             2) The module name is associated with the specified
                module-tag if a 'tag' entry exists within a
                /module-tags/module list entry with the same
                value as this entry, and a 'masked-tag' entry
                does not exist within the same /module-tags/module
                list entry.

             3) Each child data node is tested in recursive fashion.
                If the module name changes from the parent node, then
                this procedure is repeated. Once a module name
                does not match, then no further descendant nodes
                are included.

            Multiple module-tag parameters are combined as a
            logical OR expression. Matching any tag value will
            cause the data node to be included.

            It is not an error to include an unknown module-tag
            value. Such tag values will simply be treated as a 'false'
            match result, when evaluating the filter.

            and there are no matches found, then no data will be

3.2.  RESTCONF Query Parameter

   The "module-tag" parameter can be used as a query parameter in a
   RESTCONF protocol GET operation.  This new query parameter can be
   applied to any data resource that is retrievable from the server.
   This is done using the "{+restconf}/data" resource defined in section
   3.3.1 of [RFC8040], or any datastore resource defined in section 3.1
   of [RFC8527].

   The retrieval filtering is processed exactly the same as the
   "module-tag" parameter for NETCONF, defined in Section 3.1.

   The module tag filtering starts with the top-level data nodes, the
   same as for NETCONF.  All data nodes specified in the target resource
   are subject to the same module-tag filter test as data nodes within
   the target resource.

3.3.  RESTCONF Query Parameter Capability

   The following RESTCONF Capability URI is defined to indicate that the
   module-tag query parameter is supported by a RESTCONF server.  It
   MUST be advertised as a "capability" in the /restconf-
   state/capabilities/capability leaf-list.

   The server MUST support the "module-tag" query parameter for GET and
   HEAD methods if this capability is advertised.

      name:         :module-tag
      URN:          urn:ietf:params:restconf:capability:module-tag:1.0
      // RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with RFC number and remove this note
      reference:    RFC XXXX

5.  Security Considerations

   The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data
   that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
   as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  The lowest NETCONF layer
   is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure
   transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242].  The lowest RESTCONF layer
   is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS
   [RFC8446].

   The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to
   restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
   preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
   operations and content.

   There is one data node defined in this YANG module that is
   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)

   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:

      /nacm/rule-list/rule/module-tag

   This object allows an access control rule to be configured based on a
   module tag mapping.  This object is vurnerable to modifications to
   the /module-tags configuration within the server.  Care must be taken
   not to allow users to modify the /module-tags contents in a way that
   will expose protocol access in an unauthorized manner.

   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:

      /nacm/rule-list/rule/module-tag

   This object allows an access control rule to be configured based on a
   module tag mapping.  Allowing read access to this object can expose
   the access control rule details.

Appendix A.  Examples

A.1.  NETCONF <get-data> Example

   This example uses the module tag value "ietf:hardware" which is
   defined in the YANG Module Tags registry.  It is assumed in this case
   to be mapped on the server to the "ietf-hardware" module defined in
   [RFC8348].

   Note that some lines are incorrectly wrapped in the examples below
   for display purposes only.

Internet-Draft            Module Tag Operations               March 2019


   The server might send the following <get-data> request on the
   operational state datastore:

   <rpc message-id="101"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
     <get-data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda"
          xmlns:ds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-datastores">
       <datastore>ds:operational</datastore>
       <mto:module-tag
           xmlns:mto="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-module-tag-ops">
         ietf:hardware
       </mto:module-tag>
      </get-data>
   </rpc>

   The server might send the following reply:

  <rpc-reply message-id="101"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda">
      <hw:hardware xmlns:hw="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-hardware">
        <!-- rest of descendant nodes that match the module-tag -->
      </hw:hardware>
    </data>
  </rpc-reply>

A.2.  RESTCONF GET Example

   This example uses the same module-tag and server assumptions as
   Appendix A.1.

   The client might send the following request:

  GET /restconf/ds/ietf-datastores:operational?module-tag=ietf:hardware\
    HTTP/1.1
  Host: example.com
  Accept: application/yang-data+json

   The server might respond as follows.  The contents of the "hardware"
   container are omitted for brevity.

     {
       "ietf-hardware:hardware": {

       }
     }

A.3.  NACM Example

   In this example, a module tag rule is created to deny guests all
   access to hardware information.

   Note that some lines are incorrectly wrapped in the example below for
   display purposes only.

    <nacm xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-acm">
      <rule-list>
        <name>guest-acl</name>
        <group>guest</group>
        <rule>
          <name>deny-hw</name>
          <mto:module-tag
            xmlns:mto="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-module-tag-ops">
          ietf:hardware</mto:module-tag>
          <access-operations>*</access-operations>
          <action>deny</action>
          <comment>
             Do not allow guests to access any hardware information
          </comment>
        </rule>
      </rule-list>
    </nacm>
