Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP):

Schema for Printer Services

Abstract

This document defines a schema, object classes, and attributes, for Printers and print services, for use with directories that support the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (RFC 4510). This document is based on the Printer attributes listed in Appendix E of "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" (RFC 2911). Additional Printer attributes are based on definitions in "Printer MIB v2" (RFC 3805), "PWG Command Set Format for IEEE 1284 Device ID v1.0" (PWG 5107.2), "IPP Job and Printer Extensions - Set 3 (JPS3)" (PWG 5100.13), and "IPP Everywhere" (PWG 5100.14).

This memo is an Independent Submission to the RFC Editor by the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Working Group of the IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group (PWG), as part of their PWG "IPP Everywhere" (PWG 5100.14) project for secure mobile printing with vendor-neutral Client software.

This document obsoletes RFC 3712.

1. Introduction

This document defines several object classes to provide Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [RFC4510] applications with flexible options in defining Printer information using an LDAP schema. Classes are provided for defining directory entries with common Printer information as well as for extending existing directory entries with Service Location Protocol Version 2 (SLPv2) [RFC2608], Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP/1.1) [RFC2911], and lineprinter (LPR) [RFC1179] protocol-specific information.

This memo is an Independent Submission to the RFC Editor by the Internet Printing Protocol Working Group of the IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group, as part of their Printer Working Group (PWG) "IPP Everywhere" (PWG 5100.14) project for secure mobile printing with vendor-neutral Client software.

1.1. Relationship to SLP Printer Service

The schema defined in this document is technically aligned with the stable IANA-registered 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20], for compatibility with already-deployed SLPv2 [RFC2608] service advertising and discovery infrastructure. The attribute syntaxes are technically aligned with the 'service:printer:' v2.0 template; therefore, simpler types are sometimes used (for example, 'DirectoryString' [RFC4517] rather than 'labeledURI' [RFC2079] for the 'printer-uri' attribute).

1.2. Source of LDAP Printer Attributes

The schema defined in this document is based on:

  • all of the Printer attributes listed in Appendix E ("Generic Directory Schema") of "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" [RFC2911] that are defined in Section 4.4 ("Printer Description Attributes") of [RFC2911]
  • selected Printer attributes defined in "Printer MIB v2" [RFC3805], "PWG Command Set for IEEE 1284 Device ID v1.0" [PWG5107.2], "IPP Job and Printer Extensions - Set 3 (JPS3)" [PWG5100.13], and "IPP Everywhere" [PWG5100.14]

See the table of Printer attributes and source documents in Section 4 ("Definition of Attribute Types") of this document.

1.3. Source of LDAP Printer Schema OIDs

1.3.1. IBM Assignments for RFC 3712

In March 2000, IBM permanently assigned ASN.1 OIDs to all of the object classes and attribute types that were defined in the original LDAP Printer Schema [RFC3712] (see Section 7.2).

1.3.2. IEEE-ISTO PWG Assignments

In October 2011, IBM permanently delegated the base ASN.1 OID "1.3.18.0.2.24.46" to the IEEE-ISTO PWG for use in any PWG project. In October 2011, the IEEE-ISTO PWG permanently assigned subordinate ASN.1 OIDs for all of the new attribute types defined in this updated LDAP Printer Schema (see Section 7.1).

1.4. Rationale for Design Choices

1.4.1. Rationale for Using DirectoryString Syntax

The attribute syntax 'DirectoryString' (UTF-8 [STD63]) defined in [RFC4517] is specified for several groups of string attributes that are defined in this document:

  1. URI
      - printer-uri, printer-xri-supported, printer-more-info,
        printer-charge-info-uri, printer-uuid

The UTF-8 encoding is compatible with deployment of (UTF-8 based) Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) [RFC3987].

  1. Description
      - printer-name, printer-location, printer-info,
        printer-make-and-model

The UTF-8 encoding supports descriptions in any language, conformant with the IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages [BCP18].

        Note: The printer-natural-language-configured attribute contains
        a language tag [BCP47] for these description attributes (for
        example, to support text-to-speech conversions).
  1. Keyword
      - printer-compression-supported, printer-finishings-supported,
        printer-media-supported, printer-media-local-supported,
        printer-print-quality-supported

The UTF-8 encoding is compatible with the current IPP/1.1 [RFC2911] definition of the equivalent attributes, most of which have the IPP/1.1 union syntax 'keyword' or 'name'. The keyword attributes defined in this document are extensible by site- specific or vendor-specific 'names' that behave like new 'keywords'.

Note: In IPP/1.1, each value is strongly typed over-the-wire as either 'keyword' or 'name'. This union selector is not preserved in the definitions of these equivalent LDAP attributes.

1.4.2. Rationale for Using caseIgnoreMatch

The EQUALITY matching rule 'caseIgnoreMatch' defined in [RFC4517] is specified for several groups of string attributes that are defined in this document:

  1. URI

These URI attributes specify EQUALITY matching with 'caseIgnoreMatch' (rather than with 'caseExactMatch') in order to conform to the spirit of [STD66], which requires case-insensitive matching on the host part of a URI versus case-sensitive matching on the remainder of a URI.

These URI attributes follow existing practice of supporting case-insensitive equality matching for host names in the associatedDomain attribute defined in [RFC4524].

Either equality matching rule choice would be a compromise:

a) case-sensitive whole URI matching can lead to false negative

matches and has been shown to be fragile (given deployed client applications that 'pretty up' host names displayed and transferred in URI);

b) case-insensitive whole URI matching can lead to false positive

matches, although it is a dangerous practice to publish URI that differ only by case (for example, in the path elements).

  1. Description

Case-insensitive equality matching is more user-friendly for description attributes.

  1. Keyword

Case-insensitive equality matching is more user-friendly for keyword attributes.

  1. IEEE 1284 Device ID

Case-insensitive equality matching is mandatory for IEEE 1284 Device ID attributes.

1.4.3. Rationale for Using caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch

The SUBSTR matching rule 'caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch' defined in [RFC4517] is specified for several groups of string attributes that are defined in this document:

  1. URI

These URI attributes follow existing practice of supporting case-insensitive equality matching for host names in the associatedDomain attribute defined in [RFC4524].

  1. Description

Support for case-insensitive substring matching is more user-friendly for description attributes.

  1. Keyword

Support for case-insensitive substring matching is more user-friendly for keyword attributes.

  1. IEEE 1284 Device ID

Support for case-insensitive substring matching is mandatory for IEEE 1284 Device ID attributes.

3. Definition of Object Classes

We define the following LDAP object classes for use with both generic Printer-related information and services specific to SLPv2 [RFC2608], IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], and LPR [RFC1179].

slpServicePrinter - auxiliary class for SLP-registered Printers printerAbstract - abstract class for all Printer classes printerService - structural class for Printers printerServiceAuxClass - auxiliary class for Printers printerIPP - auxiliary class for IPP Printers
printerLPR - auxiliary class for LPR Printers

The following are some examples of how applications could choose to use these classes when creating directory entries:

  1. Use printerService for directory entries containing common Printer information.
  1. Use both printerService and slpServicePrinter for directory entries containing common Printer information for SLP-registered Printers.
  1. Use printerService, printerLPR, and printerIPP for directory entries containing common Printer information for Printers that support both LPR and IPP.
  1. Use printerServiceAuxClass and object classes not defined by this document for directory entries containing common Printer information. In this example, printerServiceAuxClass is used for extending other structural classes defining Printer information with common Printer information defined in this document.

Refer to Section 4 for the definition of attribute types referenced by these object classes. We use attribute names instead of OIDs in object class definitions for clarity. Some attribute names described in [RFC2911] have been prefixed with 'printer-' as recommended in [RFC2926] and [SLPPRT20].

3.1. slpServicePrinter

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.254
   NAME  'slpServicePrinter'
   DESC  'Service Location Protocol (SLP) information.'
   AUXILIARY
   SUP   slpService
   )

This auxiliary class defines information specific to the Service Location Protocol (SLPv2) [RFC2608]. It MAY be used to create new, or extend existing, directory entries with SLP 'service:printer' abstract service type information as defined in [SLPPRT20]. This object class is derived from 'slpService', the parent class for all SLP services, defined in [RFC2926].

3.2. printerAbstract

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.258
   NAME  'printerAbstract'
   DESC  'Printer-related information.'
   ABSTRACT

           printer-charge-info $
           printer-charge-info-uri $
           printer-geo-location )
   )

This abstract class defines Printer information. It is a base class for deriving other Printer-related classes, such as, but not limited to, classes defined in this document. It defines a common set of Printer attributes that are not specific to any one type of service, protocol, or operating system.

3.3. printerService

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.255
   NAME  'printerService'
   DESC  'Printer information.'
   STRUCTURAL
   SUP   printerAbstract
   MAY   ( printer-uri $
           printer-xri-supported )
   )

This structural class defines Printer information. It is derived from class printerAbstract and thus inherits common Printer attributes. This class can be used with or without auxiliary classes to define Printer information. Auxiliary classes can be used to extend the common Printer information with information specific to the protocol, service, or operating system.

Note: When extending other structural classes with auxiliary classes, printerService SHOULD NOT be used.

3.4. printerServiceAuxClass

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.257
   NAME  'printerServiceAuxClass'
   DESC  'Printer information.'
   AUXILIARY
   SUP   printerAbstract
   MAY   ( printer-uri $
           printer-xri-supported )
   )

This auxiliary class defines Printer information. It is derived from class printerAbstract and thus inherits common Printer attributes.

3.5. printerIPP

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.256
   NAME  'printerIPP'
   DESC  'Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) information.'
   AUXILIARY
   SUP   top
   MAY   ( printer-ipp-versions-supported $
           printer-ipp-features-supported $
           printer-multiple-document-jobs-supported )
   )

This auxiliary class defines Internet Printing Protocol (IPP/1.1) [RFC2911] information. It is used to extend structural classes with IPP-specific Printer information.

Note: See "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: IPP URL Scheme" [RFC3510] and "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) over HTTPS Transport Binding and the 'ipps' URI Scheme" [RFC7472] for conforming URI for IPP Printers.

3.6. printerLPR

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.6.253
   NAME  'printerLPR'
   DESC  'LPR information.'
   AUXILIARY
   SUP   top
   MUST  ( printer-name )
   MAY   ( printer-aliases )
   )

This auxiliary class defines LPR [RFC1179] information. It is used to identify directory entries that support LPR.

4. Definition of Attribute Types

The following attribute types are referenced by the object classes defined in Section 3.

The following attribute types reference syntax OIDs defined in Section 3 of [RFC4517] (see Section 5 ("Definition of Syntaxes") below).

The following attribute types reference matching rule names (instead of OIDs) for clarity (see Section 6 below). For optional attributes, if the Printer information is not known, the attribute value SHOULD NOT be set. In the following definitions, referenced matching rules are defined in Section 4 of [RFC4517] and discussed in Section 6 ("Definition of Matching Rules") later in this document.

   Note: For compatibility with existing implementations of [RFC3712]
   and underlying string length limits in [RFC2707], [RFC2911],
   [RFC3805], [PWG5107.2], [PWG5100.13], and [PWG5100.14],
   implementations of the attributes defined in this document SHOULD NOT
   exceed those underlying string length limits (to avoid truncation and
   false matches).

Note: For interoperability and consistent text display, values of attributes defined in this document (a) SHOULD be normalized as recommended in "Unicode Format for Network Interchange" [RFC5198]; (b) SHOULD NOT contain DEL or any C0 or C1 control characters except for HT, CR, and LF; (c) SHOULD only contain CR and LF characters together (not as singletons); and (d) SHOULD NOT contain HT, CR, or LF characters in names, e.g., printer-name and printer-aliases.

Note: Some of the following attributes are described as 'List of xxx' (using a comma as the member delimiter). Some other attributes are described as 'One of xxx' (single-valued). In all cases, any attribute can have multiple values represented as multiple instances, except where explicitly restricted in syntax to be single-valued.

Note: Values of the string attributes printer-xri-supported and printer-resolution-supported use different field delimiters ('<' and '>', respectively). These two field delimiters are different for compatibility with the corresponding attributes in the IANA- registered SLP 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20], which was defined before the original LDAP Printer Schema [RFC3712] was written.

The following table is a summary of the attribute names defined by this document and their corresponding source document names as defined in [RFC2911], [RFC3805], [PWG5107.2], or [PWG5100.13]. Some source attribute names have been prefixed with 'printer-' as recommended in [RFC2926], to address the flat namespace for LDAP identifiers.

If the printer-xri-supported LDAP attribute is implemented, then this printer-uri value MUST be listed in printer-xri-supported.

See [STD66] for details of URI syntax.

Note: For compatibility with IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], values of this attribute SHOULD NOT exceed 1023 octets in length.

Note: LDAP application clients SHOULD NOT attempt to use malformed URI values read from this attribute. LDAP administrative clients SHOULD NOT write malformed URI values into this attribute.

Note: See "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: IPP URL Scheme" [RFC3510] and "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) over HTTPS Transport Binding and the 'ipps' URI Scheme" [RFC7472] for conforming URI for IPP Printers.

Note: For SLP-registered Printers, the LDAP printer-uri attribute SHOULD be set to the value of the SLP-registered URL of the Printer, for interworking with SLPv2 [RFC2608] service discovery.

Note: See Sections 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 for rationale for design choices.

4.2. printer-xri-supported

   ( 1.3.18.0.2.4.1107

   EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
   SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
   SYNTAX  1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
   )

Each value of this attribute MUST consist of a URI (uniform resource identifier) followed by (optional) authentication and security fields.

Each XRI field MUST be delimited by '<', with optional trailing whitespace. For example:

      'uri=ipp://example.com/ipp< auth=digest< sec=tls<'
      'uri=ipps://example.com/ipp< auth=digest< sec=tls<'
      'uri=lpr://example.com/lpr< auth=none< sec=none<'
      'uri=mailto:printer@example.com< auth=none< sec=none<'

Note: See the note in Section 4 about the different field delimiters used in the printer-xri-supported and printer-resolution-supported attributes ('<' and '>', respectively), chosen for compatibility with the IANA-registered SLP 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20].

Note: Multiple values for this attribute are represented as multiple instances of this attribute.

See [STD66] for details of URI syntax.

Note: For compatibility with IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], values of this attribute SHOULD NOT exceed 1023 octets in length.

Note: LDAP application clients SHOULD NOT attempt to use malformed URI values read from this attribute. LDAP administrative clients SHOULD NOT write malformed URI values into this attribute.

Note: This attribute is based on the IPP/1.1 [RFC2911] attributes 'printer-uri-supported', 'uri-authentication-supported', and 'uri-security-supported' (called the 'Three Musketeers' because they are parallel, ordered attributes). This attribute unfolds those IPP/1.1 attributes and thus avoids the ordering (and same number of values) constraints of the IPP/1.1 separate attributes.

Defined keywords for fields include:

      'uri' (IPP 'printer-uri-supported')
      'auth' (IPP 'uri-authentication-supported')
      'sec' (IPP 'uri-security-supported')

A missing 'auth' field SHOULD be interpreted to mean 'none'. Per IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], "IPP Job and Printer Extensions - Set 3 (JPS3)" [PWG5100.13], and the IANA IPP registry [IANAIPP], defined values of the 'auth' field include:

      'none' (no authentication for this URI)
      'requesting-user-name' (from operation request)
      'basic' (HTTP/1.1 Basic [RFC2617] and [RFC7235])
      'digest' (HTTP/1.1 Digest [RFC2617] and [RFC7235])
      'certificate' (X.509 Certificate [RFC5280] and [RFC6818])
      'negotiate' (HTTP/1.1 Negotiate [RFC4559])

The 'certificate' value refers to the IPP Client certificate extracted from the TLS session.

A missing 'sec' field SHOULD be interpreted to mean 'none'. Per IPP/1.1 [RFC2911] and the IANA IPP registry [IANAIPP], defined values of the 'sec' field include:

'none' (no security for this URI)
'ssl3' (Netscape's Secure Socket Layer protocol (SSL3)) 'tls' (IETF TLS, [RFC5246])

Note: The syntax and delimiter for this attribute are aligned with the equivalent attribute in the 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20]. Whitespace is permitted after (but not before) the delimiter '<'.

Note: See "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: IPP URL Scheme" [RFC3510] and "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) over HTTPS Transport Binding and the 'ipps' URI Scheme" [RFC7472] for conforming URI for IPP Printers.

Note: See Sections 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 for rationale for design choices.

   EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
   SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
   SYNTAX  1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
   )

Each resolution value MUST be a string containing three fields:

   1) Cross-feed direction resolution (positive integer);
   
   2) Feed direction resolution (positive integer);
  1. Unit -- 'dpi' (dots per inch) or 'dpcm' (dots per centimeter).

Each resolution field MUST be delimited by '>', with optional trailing whitespace. For example:

'300> 300> dpi>'
'600> 600> dpi>'

Note: See the note in Section 4 about the different field delimiters used in the printer-xri-supported and printer-resolution-supported attributes ('<' and '>', respectively), chosen for compatibility with the IANA-registered SLP 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20].

Note: Multiple values for this attribute are represented as multiple instances of this attribute.

Note: This attribute is based on 'printer-resolution-supported' defined in IPP/1.1 [RFC2911] with a complex encoding derived from 'prtMarkerAddressabilityFeedDir', 'prtMarkerAddressabilityXFeedDir', and 'prtMarkerAddressabilityUnit' defined in "Printer MIB v2" [RFC3805] (which have integer encodings).

Note: The syntax and delimiter for this attribute are aligned with the equivalent attribute in the 'service:printer:' v2.0 template [SLPPRT20]. Whitespace is permitted after (but not before) the delimiter '>'.

8. Internationalization Considerations

All text string attributes defined in this document of syntax 'DirectoryString' [RFC4517] have values that are encoded in UTF-8 [STD63], as required by [RFC4517].

A language tag [BCP47] for all of the text string attributes defined in this document is contained in the printer-natural-language-configured attribute.

Therefore, all object classes defined in this document conform to the IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages [BCP18].

Note: For interoperability and consistent text display, values of attributes defined in this document (a) SHOULD be normalized as recommended in "Unicode Format for Network Interchange" [RFC5198]; (b) SHOULD NOT contain DEL or any C0 or C1 control characters except for HT, CR, and LF; (c) SHOULD only contain CR and LF characters together (not as singletons); and (d) SHOULD NOT contain HT, CR, or LF characters in names, e.g., printer-name and printer-aliases.

9. Security Considerations

See [RFC4513] for detailed guidance on authentication methods for LDAP and the use of TLS/1.2 [RFC5246] to supply connection confidentiality and data integrity for LDAP sessions.

As with any LDAP schema, it is important to protect specific entries and attributes with the appropriate access control. It is particularly important that only administrators can modify entries defined in this LDAP Printer schema. Otherwise, an LDAP client might be fooled into diverting print service requests from the original Printer (or spooler) to a malicious intruder's host system, thus exposing the information in printed documents.

Note: Security vulnerabilities can arise if DEL or any C0 or C1 control characters are included in names, e.g., printer-name or printer-aliases.

For additional security considerations regarding deploying Printers in an IPP environment, see Section 8 of [RFC2911].

Appendix A. Changes since RFC 3712

  1. Added many editorial corrections and clarifications
      - corrected typos, missing words, and ambiguous sentences;
  • replaced lowercase 'printer' with titlecase 'Printer' for readability and consistency with IETF and IEEE-ISTO PWG IPP standards usage;
  • added implementation notes;
  • updated and added references.
  1. Deleted length restrictions from formal definitions of DirectoryString syntax attributes
  • replaced with notes recommending length restrictions for compatibility with existing implementations of [RFC3712] and underlying string length limits in [RFC2707], [RFC2911], [RFC3805], [PWG5107.2], [PWG5100.13], and [PWG5100.14].

      field delimiters
  • added note in Section 4 ("Definition of Attribute Types") to explain the origin of the different field delimiters;
  • added examples to show optional *trailing* whitespace after '<' delimiters in printer-xri-supported;
  • added examples to show optional *trailing* whitespace after '>' delimiters in printer-resolution-supported.
  1. Clarified Section 8 ("Internationalization Considerations")
  • added note about Net-Unicode [RFC5198] and avoiding use of C0 and C1 control characters.
  1. Clarified Section 9 ("Security Considerations")
