               Captive-Portal Identification in DHCP / RA
                    draft-ietf-capport-rfc7710bis-11

Abstract

   In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access
   (such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a
   captive portal mode.  This highly restricts what the user can do
   until the user has satisfied the captive portal conditions.

   This document describes a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 option and a Router
   Advertisement (RA) option to inform clients that they are behind some
   sort of captive portal enforcement device, and that they will need to
   satify the Captive Portal conditions to get Internet access.  It is
   not a full solution to address all of the issues that clients may
   have with captive portals; it is designed to be one component of a
   standardized approach for hosts to interact with such portals.  While
   this document defines how the network operator may convey the captive
   portal API endpoint to hosts, the specific methods of satisfying and
   interacting with the captive portal are out of scope of this
   document.

   This document replaces [RFC7710].  [RFC7710] used DHCP code point
   160.  Due to a conflict, this document specifies 114.  Consequently,
   this document also updates [RFC3679].

1.  Introduction

   In many environments, users need to connect to a captive portal
   device and agree to an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and / or provide
   billing information before they can access the Internet.  Regardless
   of how that mechanism operates, this document provides functionality
   to allow the client to know when it is behind a captive portal and
   how to contact it.

Internet-Draft             DHCP Captive-Portal                 July 2020


   In order to present users with the payment or AUP pages, presently a
   captive portal enforcement device has to intercept the user's
   connections and redirect the user to a captive portal server, using
   methods that are very similar to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
   As increasing focus is placed on security, and end nodes adopt a more
   secure stance, these interception techniques will become less
   effective and/or more intrusive.

   This document describes a DHCPv4 [RFC2131] and DHCPv6 [RFC8415]
   option (Captive-Portal) and an IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA)
   [RFC4861] option that informs clients that they are behind a captive
   portal enforcement device and the API endpoint that the host can
   contact for more information.

   This document replaces RFC 7710 [RFC7710].

1.1.  Requirements Notation

   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.

2.  The Captive-Portal Option

   The Captive-Portal DHCP / RA Option informs the client that it may be
   behind a captive portal and provides the URI to access an API as
   defined by [draft-ietf-capport-api].  This is primarily intended to
   improve the user experience by showing the user the captive portal
   information faster and more reliably.  Note that, for the foreseeable
   future, captive portals will still need to implement interception
   techniques to serve legacy clients, and clients will need to perform
   probing to detect captive portals"; nonetheless, the mechanism
   provided by this document provides a more reliable and performant way
   to do so, and is therefore the preferred mechanism for captive portal
   detection.

   Clients that support the Captive Portal DHCP option SHOULD include
   the option in the Parameter Request List in DHCPREQUEST messages.
   DHCP servers MAY send the Captive Portal option without any explicit
   request.

   In order to support multiple "classes" of clients (e.g.  IPv4 only,
   IPv6 only with DHCPv6 ([RFC8415]), and IPv6 only with RA) the captive
   network can provision the client with the URI via multiple methods
   (IPv4 DHCP, IPv6 DHCP, and IPv6 RA).  The captive portal operator
   SHOULD ensure that the URIs provisioned by each method are identical

Internet-Draft             DHCP Captive-Portal                 July 2020


   to reduce the chance of operational problems.  As the maximum length
   of the URI that can be carried in IPv4 DHCP is 255 bytes, URIs longer
   than this SHOULD NOT be provisioned by any of the IPv6 options
   described in this document.  In IPv6-only environments this
   restriction can be relaxed.

   In all variants of this option, the URI MUST be that of the captive
   portal API endpoint [draft-ietf-capport-api].

   A captive portal MAY do content negotiation ([RFC7231] section 3.4)
   and attempt to redirect clients querying without an explicit
   indication of support for the captive portal API content type (i.e.
   without application/capport+json listed explicitly anywhere within an
   Accept header vis.  [RFC7231] section 5.3).  In so doing, the captive
   portal SHOULD redirect the client to the value associated with the
   "user-portal-url" API key.  When performing such content negotiation
   ([RFC7231] Section 3.4), implementors of captive portals need to keep
   in mind that such responses might be cached, and therefore SHOULD
   include an appropriate Vary header field ([RFC7231] Section 7.1.4) or
   set the Cache-Control header field in any responses to "private", or
   a more restrictive value such as "no-store" [RFC7234]
   Section 5.2.2.3).

   The URI SHOULD NOT contain an IP address literal.  Exceptions to this
   might include networks with only one operational IP address family
   where DNS is either not available or not fully functional until the
   captive portal has been satisfied.  Use of iPAddress certificates
   ([RFC3779]) adds considerations that are out of scope for this
   document.

   Networks with no captive portals may explicitly indicate this
   condition by using this option with the IANA-assigned URI for this
   purpose.  Clients observing the URI value
   "urn:ietf:params:capport:unrestricted" may forego time-consuming
   forms of captive portal detection.

   URIs.  See [RFC8415], Section 21.1 for more on the format of IPv6
   DHCP options.

   Note that the URI parameter is not null terminated.

   As the maximum length of the URI that can be carried in IPv4 DHCP is
   255 bytes, URIs longer than this SHOULD NOT be provisioned via IPv6
   DHCP options.

   Type  37

   Length  8-bit unsigned integer.  The length of the option (including
      the Type and Length fields) in units of 8 bytes.

   URI  The URI for the captive portal API endpoint to which the user
      should connect.  This MUST be padded with NUL (0x00) to make the
      total option length (including the Type and Length fields) a
      multiple of 8 bytes.

   Note that the URI parameter is not guaranteed to be null terminated.

   As the maximum length of the URI that can be carried in IPv4 DHCP is
   255 bytes, URIs longer than this SHOULD NOT be provisioned via IPv6
   RA options.

3.  Precedence of API URIs

   A device may learn about Captive Portal API URIs through more than
   one of (or indeed all of) the above options.  Implementations can
   select their own precedence order (e.g., prefer one of the IPv6
   options before the DHCPv4 option, or vice versa, et cetera).

   If the URIs learned via more than one option described in Section 2
   are not all identical, this condition should be logged for the device
   owner or administrator; it is a network configuration error if the
   learned URIs are not all identical.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests one new IETF URN protocol parameter
   ([RFC3553]) entry.  This document also requests a reallocation of
   DHCPv4 option codes (see Appendix C for background).

   Thanks IANA!

4.1.  Captive Portal Unrestricted Identifier

   This document registers a new entry under the IETF URN Sub-namespace
   for Registered Protocol Parameter Identifiers defined in [RFC3553]:

   Registered Parameter Identifier:  capport:unrestricted

   Reference:  RFC TBD (this document)

   IANA Registry Reference:  RFC TBD (this document)

   Only one value is defined (see URN above).  No hierarchy is defined
   and therefore no sub-namespace registrations are possible.

4.2.  BOOTP Vendor Extensions and DHCP Options Code Change

   [ RFC Ed: Please remove before publication: RFC7710 uses DHCP Code
   160 -- unfortunately, it was discovered that this option code is
   already widely used by Polycom (see appendix).  Option 114 (URL) is
   currently assigned to Apple (RFC3679, Section 3.2.3 - Contact: Dieter
   Siegmund, dieter@apple.com - Reason to recover: Never published in an
   RFC) Tommy Pauly (Apple) and Dieter Siegmund confirm that this
   codepoint hasn't been used, and Apple is willing to relinquish it for
   use in CAPPORT.  Please see thread:
   https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/captive-portals/
   TmqQz6Ma_fznD3XbhwkH9m2dB28 for more background. ]

   The IANA is requested to update the "BOOTP Vendor Extensions and DHCP
   Options" registry (https://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-
   parameters/bootp-dhcp-parameters.xhtml) as follows.

      Tag: 114

5.  Security Considerations

   By removing or reducing the need for captive portals to perform MITM
   hijacking, this mechanism improves security by making the portal and
   its actions visible, rather than hidden, and reduces the likelihood
   that users will disable useful security safeguards like DNSSEC
   validation, VPNs, etc in order to interact with the captive portal.
   In addition, because the system knows that it is behind a captive
   portal, it can know not to send cookies, credentials, etc.  By
   handing out a URI which is protected with TLS, the captive portal
   operator can attempt to reassure the user that the captive portal is
   not malicious.

   Clients processing these options SHOULD validate that the option's
   contents conform to the validation requirements for URIs, including
   [RFC3986].

   Each of the options described in this document is presented to a node
   using the same protocols used to provision other information critical
   to the node's successful configuration on a network.  The security
   considerations applicable to each of these provisioning mechanisms
   also apply when the node is attempting to learn the information
   conveyed in these options.  In the absence of security measures like
   RA Guard ([RFC6105], [RFC7113]) or DHCP Shield [RFC7610], an attacker
   could inject, modify, or block DHCP messages or RAs.

   An attacker with the ability to inject DHCP messages or RAs could
   include an option from this document to force users to contact an
   address of his choosing.  As an attacker with this capability could
   simply list themselves as the default gateway (and so intercept all
   the victim's traffic); this does not provide them with significantly
   more capabilities, but because this document removes the need for
   interception, the attacker may have an easier time performing the
   attack.

   However, as the operating systems and application(s) that make use of
   this information know that they are connecting to a captive portal
   device (as opposed to intercepted connections where the OS/
   application may not know that they are connecting to a captive portal
   or hostile device) they can render the page in a sandboxed
   environment and take other precautions, such as clearly labeling the
   page as untrusted.  The means of sandboxing and user interface
   presenting this information is not covered in this document - by its
   nature it is implementation specific and best left to the application
   and user interface designers.

   Devices and systems that automatically connect to an open network
   could potentially be tracked using the techniques described in this

   document (forcing the user to continually re-satisfy the Captive
   Portal conditions, or exposing their browser fingerprint).  However,
   similar tracking can already be performed with the presently common
   captive portal mechanisms, so this technique does not give the
   attackers more capabilities.

   Captive portals are increasingly hijacking TLS connections to force
   browsers to talk to the portal.  Providing the portal's URI via a
   DHCP or RA option is a cleaner technique, and reduces user
   expectations of being hijacked - this may improve security by making
   users more reluctant to accept TLS hijacking, which can be performed
   from beyond the network associated with the captive portal.

Appendix B.  Changes from RFC 7710

   This document incorporates the following changes from [RFC7710].

   1.  Clarify that IP string literals are NOT RECOMMENDED.

   2.  Clarify that the option URI MUST be that of the captive portal
       API endpoint.

   3.  Clarify that captive portals MAY do content negotiation.

   4.  Added text about Captive Portal API URI precedence in the event
       of a network configuration error.

   5.  Added urn:ietf:params:capport:unrestricted URN.

   6.  Notes that the DHCPv4 Option Code changed from 160 to 114.

Appendix C.  Observations From IETF 106 Network Experiment

   During IETF 106 in Singapore an experiment [1] enabling Captive
   Portal API compatible clients to discover a venue-info-url (see
   experiment description [2] for more detail) revealed that some
   Polycom devices on the same network made use of DHCPv4 option code
   160 for other purposes [3].

   The presence of DHCPv4 Option code 160 holding a value indicating the
   Captive Portal API URL caused these devices to not function as
   desired.  For this reason, this document requests IANA deprecate
   option code 160 and reallocate different value to be used for the
   Captive Portal API URL.
