Internet Engineering Task Force P. Dawes Internet-Draft Vodafone Group Intended status: Standards Track C. Arunachalam Expires: January 18, 2019 Cisco Systems July 17, 2018 Marking SIP Messages to be Logged draft-ietf-insipid-logme-marking-12 Abstract SIP networks use signaling monitoring tools to diagnose user reported problems and for regression testing if network or user agent software is upgraded. As networks grow and become interconnected, including connection via transit networks, it becomes impractical to predict the path that SIP signaling will take between user agents, and therefore impractical to monitor SIP signaling end-to-end. This document describes an indicator for the SIP protocol which can be used to mark signaling as being of interest to logging. Such marking will typically be applied as part of network testing controlled by the network operator and not used in normal user agent signaling. Operators of all networks on the signaling path can agree to carry such marking end-to-end, including the originating and terminating SIP user agents, even if a session originates and terminates in different networks.

Introduction When users experience problems with setting up sessions using SIP, enterprise or service provider network operators need to identify the root cause by examining the SIP signaling. Also, when network or user agent software or hardware is upgraded, regression testing is needed. Such diagnostics apply to a small proportion of network traffic and can apply end-to-end, even if signaling crosses several networks possibly belonging to several different network operators. It may not be possible to predict the path through those networks in advance, therefore a mechanism is needed to mark a session as being of interest so that SIP entities along the signaling path can provide diagnostic logging. [RFC8123] illustrates this motivating scenario. This document describes a solution that meets the requirements for such "log me" marking of SIP signaling also defined in [RFC8123]. This document defines a new header field parameter "logme" for the "Session-ID" header field [RFC7989]. Implementations of this document MUST implement session identity. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 3] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 2. Requirements Language 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. Rather than describing interoperability requirements, they are used to describe requirements to be satisfied by the "log me" marking solution. 3. "Log Me" Marking Protocol Aspects 3.1. Session-ID logme Parameter Logging for diagnostic purposes is most effective when it is applied end-to-end in a communication session. This ability requires a "log me" marker to be passed through SIP intermediaries. The Session-ID header defined in ([RFC7989]) was chosen to carry the "log me" marker as a "logme" parameter since the session identifier is typically passed through SIP B2BUAs (described in [RFC7092]) or other intermediaries, as per the Session-ID requirement REQ3 in ([RFC7206]). The "logme" parameter shown in Figure 1 does not introduce any device-specific or user-specific information and MUST be passed unchanged with the Session-ID header except for the cases specified in Section 3.4.2 where the "log me" marker may be removed at a network boundary. Alice Proxy Registrar u1.example.com p1.example.com r1.example.com | | | |(1) INVITE | | | Session-ID: ab30317f1a784dc48ff824d0d3715d86; | remote=47755a9de7794ba387653f2099600ef2;logme |----------------->| | | | | Figure 1: "Log Me" marking using the "logme" Session-ID header field parameter 3.2. Starting and Stopping Logging Marking starts with a dialog-initiating request (described in Section 12.1 of [RFC3261]) and continues for the lifetime of the dialog, and applies to each request and response in that dialog. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 4] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 A user agent or intermediary adds a "log me" marker in an unmarked request or response in two cases: firstly because it is configured to do so, or secondly because it has detected that a dialog is being "log me" marked, causing it to maintain state to ensure that all requests and responses in the dialog are similarly "log me" marked. Once the "log me" marking is started for a dialog, all subsequent requests and responses in this dialog are "log me" marked and marking is stopped when this dialog and its related dialogs end. It is considered an error (see Section 5.2) if "log me" marking is started in a mid-dialog request or response. If a request or response is "log me" marked, then all re- transmissions of the request or response MUST be similarly "log me" marked. Likewise, re-transmissions of a request or response that was not "log me" marked MUST NOT be "log me" marked. For the first case, "log me" marking trigger condition configurations that define whether a user agent or intermediary can initiate "log me" marking for a given dialog are out of scope of this document. As an example of trigger condition configurations, the user agent or intermediary could be configured to add a "log me" marker for all dialogs initiated during a specific time period (e.g., 9:00 am - 10:00 am every day), for specific dialogs that have a particular "User-Agent" header value, or for a specific set of called party numbers for which users are experiencing call setup failures. For the second case of a user agent or intermediary detecting that a dialog-initiating request is being "log me" marked, the scope of such marking extends to the lifetime of the dialog. In addition, as discussed in Section 3.7, "log me" marked dialogs that create related dialogs (REFER) may transfer the marking to the related dialogs. In such cases, the entire "session", identified by the Session-ID header, is "log me" marked. 3.3. Identifying Test Cases The local Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) portion of Session-ID [RFC7989] in the initial SIP request of a dialog is used as a random test case identifier (described in REQ 5 in [RFC8123]). This provides the ability to collate all logged SIP requests and responses to the initial SIP request in a dialog or standalone transaction. 3.4. Passing the Marker Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 5] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 3.4.1. To and From a User Device When a user device inserts the "log me" marker, the marker MUST be passed unchanged in the Session-ID header across an edge proxy or a B2BUA adjacent to the user device. 3.4.2. To and From an External Network An external network is a peer network connected at a network boundary as defined in [RFC8123]. External networks may be connected directly or via a peering network and such networks often have specific connection agreements. Whether "log me" marking is removed depends upon the policy applied at the network to network interface. Troubleshooting and testing will be easier if peer networks endeavor to make agreements to pass "log me" marking unchanged. However, since a "log me" marker may cause a SIP entity to log the SIP header and body of a request or response, if no agreement exists between peer networks then the "log me" marker MUST be removed at a network boundary. 3.4.3. Across a Non-Supporting SIP Intermediary "Log me" marking is most effective if passed end-to-end. However, intermediaries that do not comply with this specification might pass the "log me" marker unchanged or drop it entirely. 3.5. Logging Multiple Simultaneous Dialogs An originating or terminating user agent and SIP entities on the signaling path can log multiple SIP dialogs simultaneously. These dialogs are differentiated by their test case identifier (the local UUID of the Session-ID header field at the originating device). 3.6. Format of Logged Signaling The entire SIP message (SIP headers and message body) SHOULD be logged since troubleshooting might be difficult if information is missing. Logging SHOULD use common standard formats such as the SIP CLF defined in [RFC6873] and Libpcap. If SIP CLF format is used, the entire message is logged using Vendor-ID = 00000000 and Tag = 02 in the portion of the SIP CLF record (see [RFC6873] section 4.4). Header fields SHOULD be logged in the form in which they appear in the message, they SHOULD NOT be converted between long and compact forms described in [RFC3261] section 7.3.3. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 6] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 3.7. Marking Related Dialogs "Log me" marking is done per-dialog and typically begins at dialog creation and ends when the dialog ends. However, dialogs related to a "log me" marked dialog MAY also be "log me" marked. As described in [RFC7989] section 6, related dialogs can occur when an endpoint receives a 3xx message, a REFER that directs the endpoint to a different peer, or an INVITE request with Replaces that also potentially results in communicating with a new peer. An example is call transfer described in section 6.1 of [RFC5589] and the logged signaling for related dialogs can be correlated using Session-ID values as described in section 10.9 of [RFC7989]. In the example shown in Figure 2, Alice has reported problems making call transfers. Her terminal is configured to log signaling for calls from the network administrator Bob. Bob, who is troubleshooting the problem, arranges to make a call that Alice can attempt to transfer. Bob calls Alice, which creates initial dialog1, and then Alice transfers the call to connect Bob to Carol. Logged signaling is correlated using the test case identifier, which is the local UUID ab30317f1a784dc48ff824d0d3715d86 in the Session-ID header field of INVITE request F1. Logging by Alice's terminal begins when it receives and echoes the "logme" marker in INVITE F1 and ends when the last request or response in the dialog is sent or received (200 OK F7 of dialog1). Also during dialog1, Alice's terminal logs related REFER dialog2 that it initiates and terminates as part of the call transfer. Alice's terminal inserts a "logme" marker in the REFER request and 200 OK responses to NOTIFY requests in dialog2. Both dialog1 and dialog2 have the same test case identifier. Logging by Bob's terminal begins when it sends INVITE F1, which includes the "logme" marker, and ends when dialog3, initiated by Bob, ends. Logging by Carol's terminal begins when it receives the INVITE F5 with the "log me" marker and ends when dialog3 ends. dialog3 is not logged by Alice's terminal, however the test case identifier ab30317f1a784dc48ff824d0d3715d86 is also the test case identifier (local-uuid) in INVITE F5. Also, the test case identifier of dialog2, which is logged by Alice's terminal, can be linked to dialog1 and dialog3 because the remote-uuid component of dialog2 is the test case identifier ab30317f1a784dc48ff824d0d3715d86. F1 - Bob's UA inserts the "logme" parameter in the Session-ID header of the INVITE request that creates dialog1. F3 - Alice's UA inserts the "logme" parameter in the Session-ID header of the REFER request that creates dialog2 which is related to dialog1. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 7] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 F5 - Bob's UA inserts the "logme" parameter in the Session-ID header of the INVITE request that creates dialog3 which is related to dialog1.

Forked Requests A SIP intermediary MUST copy the "log me" marker into forked requests (see sections 4, 16.6 in [RFC3261]). 4. SIP Entity Behavior 4.1. Scope of Marking "Log me" marking is intended to be limited, in time period and number of dialogs marked, to the minimum needed to troubleshoot a particular problem or perform a particular test. o SIP entities MUST be configured to "log me" mark only dialogs needed for the current testing purpose e.g. troubleshooting or regression testing. The mechanisms in this section ensure that "log me" marking begins at dialog creation and, other than cases of marking related dialogs or premature ending, ends when the dialog being "log me" marked ends. o The mechanisms in this section limit initiation of "log me" marking only in dialog creation requests (e.g. SIP INVITE) sent by an originating endpoint or an intermediary that marks on behalf of the originating endpoint. The final terminating endpoint or an intermediary that marks on behalf of the terminating endpoint Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 12] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 detects an incoming "log me" marker and takes action as defined in Section 4.2 and Section 4.3. Note that the error cases described in sections 5.1 and 5.2 cause SIP entities to stop "log me" marking, and the requirements in Section 8 also place requirements on SIP entities, including allowing SIP entities to not log signaling based on local policies (see Section 8.4.6). 4.2. Endpoints A common scenario is to have both originating and terminating endpoints support "log me" marking specification with the originating endpoint configured to initiate "log me" marking. In this simplest use case, the originating user agent inserts a "log me" marker in the dialog-creating SIP request and all subsequent SIP requests within that dialog. The "log me" marker is passed through the SIP intermediaries and arrives at the terminating user agent which echoes the "log me" marker in the corresponding responses. If the terminating user agent sends an in-dialog request on a dialog that is being "log me" marked, it inserts a "log me" marker and the originating user agent echoes the "log me" marker in responses. The terminating user agent logs the "log me" marked SIP requests and responses if it is allowed as per policy defined in the terminating network. This basic use case suggests the following rules for originating and terminating user agents. For originating user agents: o The originating user agent configured for "log me" marking MUST insert a "log me" marker into the dialog-creating SIP request and subsequent in-dialog SIP requests. o The originating user agent itself logs marked signaling. o The originating user agent echoes, in responses, the "log me" marker received in in-dialog requests from the terminating side. o The originating user agent logs the SIP responses that it sends in response to received "log me" marked in-dialog requests. o The originating user agent MAY also apply these rules to any subsequent related SIP dialogs as described in Section 3.7. For terminating user agents: Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 13] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 o The terminating user agent detects that a dialog is of interest to logging by the existence of a "log me" marker in an incoming dialog-creating SIP request. o The terminating user agent itself logs marked requests and corresponding marked responses if allowed as per policy. o The terminating user agent MUST echo a "log me" marker in responses to a SIP request that included a "log me" marker. o If the terminating user agent has detected that a dialog is being "log me" marked, it MUST insert a "log me" marker in any in-dialog SIP requests that it sends. o The terminating user agent itself logs any in-dialog SIP requests that it sends if allowed as per policy. o The terminating user agent MAY also apply these rules to any subsequent related SIP dialogs as described in Section 3.7. 4.3. SIP Intermediaries Acting on Behalf of Endpoints A network operator may know that some of the user agents connected to the network do not support "log me" marking. Subject to the authorizations in Section 8.1, a SIP intermediary close to the user agent (e.g. edge proxy, B2BUA) on the originating and terminating sides inserts the "log me" marker instead in order to test sessions involving such user agents. The originating and terminating SIP intermediaries are not identified by protocol means but are designated and explicitly configured by the network administrator to "log me" mark on behalf of endpoints. The intermediaries that are known to be closest to the terminals can be configured to "log me" mark on behalf of terminals that do not support "log me" marking. The originating SIP intermediary is the first one to be traversed by a SIP request sent by the originating endpoint. Similarly, the terminating SIP intermediary is last intermediary traversed before the terminating endpoint is reached. The SIP intermediary at the originating side is configured to insert the "log me" marker on behalf of the originating endpoint. If the terminating user agent does not echo the "log me" marker in responses to a marked request then the the SIP intermediary closest to the terminating user agent inserts a "log me" marker in responses to the request. Likewise, if the terminating user agent sends an in-dialog request, the SIP intermediary at the terminating side inserts a "log me" marker and the SIP intermediary at the originating side echoes the "log me" marker in responses to that request. The SIP Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 14] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 intermediaries at the originating and terminating sides log the "log me" marked SIP requests and responses if it is allowed as per policy defined in the originating and terminating networks. This scenario suggests the following rules when a SIP intermediary is configured to initiate or handle "log me" marking on behalf of a user agent. For the originating SIP intermediary: o The originating SIP intermediary configured for "log me" marking MUST insert a "log me" marker into the dialog-creating SIP request and subsequent in-dialog SIP requests. o The originating SIP intermediary itself logs marked signaling. o The originating SIP intermediary detects the "log me" marker received in in-dialog requests and echoes the "log me" marker in the corresponding SIP responses. o The originating SIP intermediary logs the SIP responses that it sends in response to "log me" marked in-dialog requests. o The originating SIP intermediary MAY also apply these rules to any subsequent related SIP dialogs as described in Section 3.7). For the terminating SIP intermediary: o The terminating SIP intermediary detects that a dialog is of interest to logging by the existence of a "log me" marker in an incoming dialog-creating SIP request. o The terminating SIP intermediary itself logs marked requests and corresponding responses if allowed as per policy. o The terminating SIP intermediary MUST echo a "log me" marker in responses to a SIP request that included a "log me" marker. o If terminating SIP intermediary has detected that a dialog is being "log me" marked, it MUST insert a "log me" marker in any in- dialog SIP requests from the terminating user agent. o The terminating SIP intermediary itself logs any in-dialog SIP requests that it sends if allowed as per policy. o The terminating SIP intermediary MAY also apply these rules to any subsequent related SIP dialogs as described in Section 3.7. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 15] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 4.4. B2BUAs B2BUA "log me" behavior is specified based on its different signaling plane roles described in [RFC7092]. A Proxy-B2BUA SHOULD copy "log me" marking in requests and responses from its terminating to the originating side without needing explicit configuration to do so. A dialog on one "side" of the B2BUA may or may not be coupled to a related dialog on the other "side" for "log me" purposes. To allow end-to-end troubleshooting of user problems and regression testing, a signaling-only and SDP-modifying signaling-only B2BUA [RFC7092] SHOULD couple related dialogs for "log me" marking purposes and pass on the received "log me" parameter from the originating side to terminating side and vice versa. For example, a SIP B2BUA handling an end-to-end session between an external caller and an agent in a contact center environment can couple the dialog between itself and an agent with the dialog between itself and external caller and pass on the "log me" marking from originating side to terminating side to enable end-to-end logging of specific sessions of interest. For dialogs that are being "log me" marked, all B2BUAs MUST "log me" mark in-dialog SIP requests that they generate on their own, without needing explicit configuration to do so. This rule applies to both the originating and terminating sides of a B2BUA. 4.5. "Log me" Marker Processing by SIP Intermediaries 4.5.1. Stateless processing Typically, "log me" marking will be done by an originating UA and echoed by a terminating UA. SIP intermediaries on the signaling path between these UAs that do not perform the tasks described in Section 4.2, Section 4.3, or Section 4.4 MUST simply log any request or response that contains a "log me" marker in a stateless manner, if it is allowed per local policy. 4.5.2. Stateful processing The originating and terminating SIP intermediaries that "log me" mark on behalf of endpoints and SIP intermediaries that remove "log me" marking at the network boundary must maintain state to enable "log me" marking. Applicable scenarios are as follows. o The originating UA does not support "log me" marking. This scenario was described in Section 4.3 and requires support by the Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 16] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 originating SIP intermediary. "Log me" marker processing is illustrated in Section 4.5.2.1. o The terminating UA does not support "log me" marking. This scenario was described in Section 4.3 and requires support by the terminating SIP intermediary. "Log me" marker processing is illustrated in Section 4.5.2.2. o The originating network ensures that it does not pass marking outside its boundaries in order to not impact any external networks. The originating network removes "log me" marking from SIP requests and responses before forwarding them from its network boundary to external networks but adds marking back to any incoming SIP requests and responses belonging to any "log me" marked dialog. This scenario requires support by the SIP intermediary at the originating network boundary and "log me" marker processing is illustrated in Section 4.5.2.3. o The terminating network ensures that it does not allow "log me" marking from external networks to pass through its boundary to its internal entities. The terminating network removes "log me" marking from SIP requests and responses before forwarding them internally but adds marking back to any outgoing SIP requests and responses belonging to any "log me" marked dialog. This scenario requires support by the SIP intermediary at the terminating network boundary and "log me" marker processing is illustrated in Section 4.5.2.4. o The terminating network does not support "log me" marking and does not echo marking that it receives. The originating network adds marking back to any incoming SIP requests and responses belonging to the "log me" marked dialog. This scenario requires support by the SIP intermediary at the originating network boundary and "log me" marker processing is illustrated in Section 4.5.2.5. SIP intermediary behavior in these scenarios is illustrated using [RFC3665] example call flow "Session Establishment Through Two Proxies". 4.5.2.1. "Log Me" marking not supported by Originating UA Alice's user agent does not support "log me" marking and hence Proxy 1, which is the SIP intermediary closest to Alice, is configured to act on behalf of Alice's user agent to "log me" mark dialogs created by Alice. In Figure 3 below, Proxy 1 in the originating network maintains state of which dialogs are being logged in order to "log me" mark all SIP Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 17] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 requests and responses that it receives from Alice's user agent before forwarding them to Proxy 2.

Error Handling Two error types are defined in Section 5, a missing marker error and an error of "log me" marking that begins mid-dialog. Section 6 gives exceptions which have a missing marker or marking that begins mid- dialog but are not errors. If a missing marker error is detected by a UA, SIP intermediary, or B2BUA, it SHOULD consider this as an error condition. It MUST NOT mark subsequent requests and responses and MUST stop logging messages in the same dialog. Any previously logged messages SHOULD be retained and not deleted. If a "log me" marking that begins mid-dialog error is detected by a UA, SIP intermediary, or B2BUA, it SHOULD consider this as an error condition. It MUST NOT forward the "log me" marker and MUST NOT log the message. It MUST NOT mark subsequent requests and responses and MUST NOT log subsequent messages in the same dialog. 5. Error Cases The following error cases are possible for "log me" marking. 1. A "log me" marker is unexpectedly missing from a dialog that is being logged. 2. A "log me" marker unexpectedly appears in a dialog that is not being logged 3. A "log me" marker unexpectedly disappears and then reappears in a dialog being logged. This is treated in the same way as case 1. 4. A "log me" marker is unexpectedly missing from a retransmission in a dialog being logged. This is treated in the same way as case 1. These cases apply to any request or response sent by any entity and in any direction in a dialog being "log me" marked. Detection of these error cases is described in this section. 5.1. Missing "Log Me" Marker Error Case Since "log me" marking is per dialog, if a dialog is being marked and marking is missing from a request or response then this is an error. However, detecting such errors is not as simple as checking for missing markers because of cases such as non-supporting terminals where it is normal that marking is not done. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 29] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 Detecting errors must be evaluated separately for each neighbor. It is an error if a particular neighbor has previously sent logme in the dialog and then stops, independently of what has been happening with other neighbors. User agents and intermediaries that are stateless with respect to "log me" marking are not able detect such errors. User agents and intermediaries that are stateful with respect to "log me" marking are able to detect that a marker is missing from a dialog that has previously been "log me" marked. Error cases are illustrated in this section, and non-error cases in Section 6.1. The following figures illustrate missing "Log me" Marker errors. Figure 8 shows an error detected at Proxy 1, where an expected "log me" marker is missing.

F4 - Bob's user agent detects the "log me" marker and maintains state that this dialog is to be logged. F12 - Proxy 1 detects that the expected "log me" marker is missing, considers it as an error and stops "log me" marking in subsequent requests and responses in this dialog. Hence it does not insert a "log me" marker in F13. F13 - Proxy 2 detects that the expected "log me" marker is missing, considers it as an error and stops "log me" marking in subsequent requests and responses in this dialog. F14 - Proxy 2 does not insert a "log me" marker because it has stopped "log me" marking due to an error observed in F13. Bob's UA detects that the expected "log me" marker is missing, considers it as an error and stops "log me" marking in subsequent requests and responses in this dialog. 5.2. "Log Me" Marker Appears Mid-Dialog Error Case SIP endpoints, intermediaries acting on behalf of endpoints, and B2BUAs that can perform "log me" marking are stateful. Such entities will expect a "log me" marker only for dialogs where the initial dialog-creating request was "log me" marked, either by themselves or an upstream entity."Log me" marking that subsequently begins mid- dialog is an error. Figure 10 illustrates a "log me" marking error observed in the middle of a dialog. Alice's UA supports "log me" marking but the call is not initially marked for logging i.e. INVITE F1 is not "log me" marked. But Alice's UA starts to "log me" mark at the ACK request F7. Proxy 1 supports "log me" marking at the originating network boundary and therefore detects the error, does not log signaling, and removes the "log me" marker before forwarding the ACK request F8.

Non-Error Cases 6.1. Missing "Log me" Marker Non-Error Case The following figure illustrates a non-error case. Figure 11 shows Proxy 2 receiving a response with no "log me" marker that is not an error case. Proxy 2 is configured by network B to perform "log me" marking on behalf of Bob's UA, which does not support "log me" marking. Proxy 2 does not therefore expect responses from Bob to include a "log me" marker.

"Log Me" Marker Appears Mid-Dialog Non-Error Case A SIP intermediary that can perform "log me" marking on behalf of an endpoint MAY optionally mark a request or response towards a non- supporting endpoint, such as the 100 response F3 in Figure 3. In this case the endpoint will receive a "log me" marker mid-dialog and is not considered an error. Another use case is a network that wants uniform "log me" marking handling across a mixture of "log me" supporting and non-supporting endpoints. In this case, the endpoint that supports "log me" is not configured to mark a dialog and the SIP intermediary is configured to perform "log me" marking on behalf of an endpoint that supports "log me". This SIP intermediary MAY optionally mark a request or response towards the endpoint, such as the 100 response F3 in Figure 3. The endpoint will receive a "log me" marker mid-dialog and this is not considered an error. 7. Augmented BNF for the "logme" Parameter ABNF is described in [RFC5234]. This document introduces a new "logme"parameter for the Session-ID header field defined in Section 5 of [RFC7989]. sess-id-param =/ logme-param logme-param = "logme" Figure 12: Augmented BNF for the "logme" Parameter 8. Security Considerations 8.1. "Log Me" Authorization An end user or network administrator MUST give permission for a terminal to perform "log me" marking in the context of regression testing or troubleshooting a problem. The permission MUST be limited to only specific calls of interest that are originated in a given time duration. The configuration of a SIP intermediary to perform "log me" marking on behalf of a terminal MUST be authorized by the network administrator. Activating a debug mode affects the operation of a terminal, therefore debugging configuration MUST be supplied by an authorized Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 36] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 party to an authorized terminal through a secure communication channel. 8.2. "Log Me" Marker Removal The log me marker is not sensitive information, although it will sometimes be inserted because a particular device is experiencing problems. The presence of a log me marker will cause some SIP entities to log signaling messages. Therefore, this marker MUST be removed at the earliest opportunity if it has been incorrectly inserted, such as appearing mid-dialog in a dialog that was not being logged or outside the configured start and stop of logging. If SIP requests and responses are exchanged with an external network with which there is no agreement to pass "log me" marking, then the "log me" marking is removed. 8.3. Denial of Service Attacks Maliciously configuring a large number of terminals to simultaneously "log me" mark dialogs will cause high processor load on SIP entities that are logging signaling. Since "log me" marking is for the small number of dialogs subject to troubleshooting or regression testing, the number of dialogs that can be simultaneously logged can be statically limited without adversely affecting the usefulness of "log me" marking. Also, the SIP intermediary closest to the terminal and SIP intermediary at network edge (e.g Session Border Controllers) can be configured to screen-out "log me" markers when troubleshooting or regression testing is not in progress. 8.4. Privacy Logging includes all SIP header fields. The SIP privacy mechanisms defined in [RFC3323] can be used to ensure that logs do not divulge personal identity information. 8.4.1. Personal Identifiers "Log me" marking is defined for the SIP Protocol, and SIP has header fields such as From, Contact, P-Asserted-Identity that can carry personal identifiers. Different protocol interactions can be correlated using the Session-ID and Call-ID header fields, but such correlation is limited to a single end-to-end session. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 37] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 In order to protect user privacy during logging, privacy settings can be enabled or requested by the terminal used by the end user. [RFC3323] suggests two mechanisms: o By using the value anonymous in the From header field o By requesting privacy from SIP intermediaries using the Privacy header Intermediaries that perform "log me" marking on behalf of the endpoints (see Section 4.3) may also be configured to apply privacy (as defined in Section 3.3 of [RFC3323]) on messages that belong to a dialog that is "log me" marked. "Log me" marking is typically used for troubleshooting and regression testing, and in some cases a service provider owned device with a dummy account can be used instead of a customer device. In such cases, no personal identifiers are included in the logged signaling messages. 8.4.2. Data Stored at SIP Intermediaries SIP endpoints and intermediaries that honor the "log me" request store all the SIP messages that are exchanged within a given dialog. SIP messages can contain the personal identifiers listed in Section 8.4.1 and additionally a user identity, calling party number, IP address, hostname, and other user and device related items. The SIP message bodies describe the kind of session being set up by the identified end user and device. "Log me" marking does not introduce any additional user or device data to SIP but might indicate that a specific user is experiencing a problem. 8.4.3. Data Visible at Network Elements SIP messages that are logged due to "log me" requests are stored only by the SIP initiators, intermediaries and recipients. Enablers as defined in section 3.1 of [RFC6973], such as firewalls and DNS servers do not log messages due to the "log me" marking. 8.4.4. Preventing Fingerprinting "Log me" functionality is typically used to troubleshoot a given problem and hence it can be used as an method to identify users and devices that are experiencing issues. The best way to prevent fingerprinting of users is to enable or request SIP privacy for the logged dialog. Dawes & Arunachalam Expires January 18, 2019 [Page 38] Internet-Draft log me marking July 2018 8.4.5. Retaining Logs The lifetime of "log me" marking is equivalent to the lifetime of the dialog that initiated the "log me" request. When "log me" is extended to related dialogs the lifetime is extended until there is no more related dialog for the end-to-end session. "Log me" automatically expires at the end of the dialog and there is no explicit mechanism to turn off logging within a dialog. The scope of "log me" Marking is limited i.e. an user or the network administrator has to enable it on a per session basis or for a specific time period. This minimizes the risk of exposing user data for an indefinite time. The retention time period for logged messages SHOULD be the minimum needed for each particular troubleshooting or testing case. The retention period is configured based on the data retention policies of service providers and enterprises. 8.4.6. User Control of Logging Consent to turn on "log me" marking for a given session MUST be provided by the end user or by the network administrator. It is handled outside of the protocol through user interface or application programming interfaces at the end point, call control elements and network management systems. SIP entities across the communication path MAY be configured to pass through the "log me" marking but not honor the request i.e. not log the data based on local policies. 8.4.7. Recommended Defaults The recommended defaults for "log me" marking are: o turn on SIP privacy as described in Section 8.4 or use a service provider owned device with a dummy user identity for test calls o use the local UUID of Session-ID header at the originating device as the test case identifier as described in Section 3.3 8.5. Data Protection A SIP entity that has logged information MUST protect the logs. Storage of the log files are subject to the security considerations specified in [RFC6872].
