         Reverse Change-of-Authorization (CoA) in RADIUS/(D)TLS
                    draft-ietf-radext-reverse-coa-07

Abstract

   This document defines a "reverse Change-of-Authorization (CoA)" path
   for RADIUS packets.  A TLS connection is normally used to forward
   request packets from a client to a server and to send responses from
   the server to the client.  This specification allows a server to send
   CoA request packets to the client in "reverse" down that connection,
   and for the client to send responses to the server.  Without this
   capability, it is in general impossible for a server to send CoA
   packets to a Network Access Server (NAS) that is located behind a
   firewall or NAT.  This reverse CoA functionality extends the
   available transport methods for CoA packets, but it does not change
   anything else about how CoA packets are handled.

   This document updates RFC8559.

1.  Introduction

   The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol
   [RFC2865] is a client-server protocol where clients send requests to
   servers, and servers send responses to clients.  RADIUS was extended
   in [RFC5176] to define the ability to change a user's authorization,
   or disconnect the user via what are generally called "Change-of-
   Authorization" or "CoA" packets.  In this use-case, a server which
   normally receives authentication requests from a client instead sends
   CoA requests to that client.

   When that inversion of roles takes place, the system sending the CoA
   requests is acting as a client, and the system receiving those
   requests is acting as a server.  In order to more clearly separate
   these roles, all connections between RADIUS clients and servers have
   historically been defined to be one way.  A client sends requests to
   a server, on a port which is dedicated to that role.  For RADIUS,
   there have been separate ports defined for authentication requests,
   accounting requests, and CoA requests.

   The initial transport protocol for all RADIUS messages was the User
   Datagram Protocol (UDP).  [RFC6614] then updated RADIUS to allow
   packets to be sent over the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
   The update also removed the requirement that each type of packet use
   a dedicated port.  Instead, all packets (including CoA) can be be
   sent over a TLS connection, as discussed in [RFC6614], Section 2.5:

      Due to the use of one single TCP port for all packet types, it is
      required that a RADIUS/TLS server signal which types of packets
      are supported on a server to a connecting peer.  See also
      Section 3.4 for a discussion of signaling.

   That specification, however, still required that the systems still
   act as client and server.  The client connects to the server, and
   sends only requests.  The server waits for client connections, and
   only sends responses.  This flow of packets is referred to as the
   "forward" path.

   The limitation of this design is that it assumes that a RADIUS client
   can always contact a RADIUS server.  When a RADIUS server wishes to
   send CoA packets to a RADIUS client, it must initiate a new

   connection "reverse" path to that client.  Any existing TLS
   connection from that client is ignored, and is not used.  Even worse,
   the "reverse" path can be blocked by an on-path stateful function
   (e.g. firewall, NAT, etc.).

   The design of RADIUS requires that a client must be able to reach a
   server.  But the reverse path from server to client for CoA is only
   usable when both client and server share a common and open network.
   In the past, many organisations which supported roaming did so via
   dedicated interconnections using IPSec.  This design allowed the
   connected parties to have a route for sending CoA packets, but the
   direct interconnections could be expensive to set up and maintain.
   As such, a common practice is now to use RADIUS/(D)TLS.

   However, there is often a firewall, NAT, etc. between a client and
   server which blocks the reverse path for RADIUS/UDP or RADIUS/(D)TLS.
   This scenario is most evident in a roaming / federated environment
   such as eduroam ([RFC7593] and [EDUROAM]) or OpenRoaming
   ([OPENROAMING]).  Even though [RFC8559] defines CoA proxying, that
   specification does not address the issue of NAS reachability.  In
   many roaming environments, there is no direct reverse path from the
   server to the NAS, as the NAS is not accessible from the Internet.
   Even if there was a public reverse path, the chain of proxies
   effectively hides the location of the NAS.  Intermediate proxies can
   (and do) rewrite packet contents to hide NAS identities.  It is
   therefore in many cases impossible for a server to send a request to
   the NAS.

   These limitations can result in business losses and security
   problems, such as the inability to disconnect a user when their
   account has been terminated.

1.1.  The Solution

   This specification solves that problem.  The solution is to simply
   allow CoA packets to go in "reverse" down an existing RADIUS/(D)TLS
   connection.  That is, when a NAS connects to a RADIUS server it
   normally sends request packets (Access-Request, etc.) and expects to
   receive response packets (Access-Accept, etc.).  This specification
   extends RADIUS/(D)TLS by permitting a RADIUS server to re-use an
   existing TLS connection to send CoA packets to the NAS, and
   permitting the NAS to send CoA response packets to the RADIUS server
   over that same connection.

   While this document specifically mentions RADIUS/(D)TLS, it should be
   possible to use the same mechanisms on RADIUS/DTLS [RFC7360].
   However at the time of writing this specification, no implementations
   exist for "reverse CoA" over RADIUS/DTLS.

   This mechanism does not depend on the underlying transport protocol,
   or interact with it.  It is therefore compatible not only with
   [RFC6614], and [RFC7360], but also with
   [I-D.ietf-radext-radiusdtls-bis] which will replace those earlier
   standards.

1.2.  Limitations

   This mechanism is not applicable for RADIUS/UDP, as [RFC5176] and
   [RFC8559] are sufficient for CoA for the cases where the client and
   server can communicate directly.

   When the client and server cannot communicate directly, such as when
   a they are separated by a firewall or NAT, the nature of UDP makes it
   impossible to support reverse CoA.  Since UDP is connection-less, the
   server has no way of knowing whether or not the client is still
   receiving packets on a port.  A client may open a port, send a
   request, and then immediately close the port after receiving a
   response.  Alternatively, there could be a NAT between the client and
   server.  The NAT could time out its UDP state tracking, again with no
   indication to the server.  Therefore, any attempt by a server to use
   a reverse path for UDP is unlikely to work reliably.

   RADIUS/DTLS has similar issues to RADIUS/UDP with respect to NATs.
   However, there is an underlying TLS session associated with a
   particular client to server connection.  So long as the TLS
   connection is functional, it can be used to send reverse CoA packets.
   Where the TLS connection is not functional, no traffic will pass in
   either direction.

   This mechanism is also not suitable for RADIUS/TCP.  While it could
   theoretically be used there, RADIUS/TCP is being deprecated by
   [I-D.ietf-radext-deprecating-radius].  As such, RADIUS/TCP is
   unsuitable as a transport mechanism, and no reverse CoA functionality
   is defined for it.

   For the above reasons, therefore, the "reverse CoA" functionality is
   limited to RADIUS/(D)TLS.

1.3.  Chains of Proxies

   There are some additional considerations which need to be addressed
   in order for this specification to work across multiple proxies.
   While [RFC8559] describes CoA proxying, this specification describes
   how those systems can implement "reverse CoA" proxying, including
   processing packets through both an intermediate proxy network, and at
   any visited network which is not able to directly authenticate the
   user.

2.  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.

   Please see [RFC5176], Section 1.3 for the base terminology that is
   associated with Change-of-Authorization.

   *  CoA

      Change-of-Authorization packets.  For brevity, when this document
      refers to "CoA" packets, it means either or both of the CoA-

      Section 2.1 packets.

   *  ACK

      Change-of-Authorization "positive acknowledgment" packets.  For
      brevity, when this document refers to "ACK" packets, it means
      either or both of CoA-ACK and Disconnect-ACK packets.

   *  NAK

      Change-of-Authorization "negative Acknowledgements" packets.  For
      brevity, when this document refers to "NAK" packets, it means
      either or both of CoA-NAK and Disconnect-NAK packets.

      CoA, ACK, or NAK packets sent over a RADIUS/(D)TLS connection
      which was made from a RADIUS client to a RADIUS server.

3.  Concepts

   The reverse CoA functionality is based on two additions to RADIUS.
   The first addition is a configuration and signaling method, to
   indicate that a RADIUS client is capable of accepting reverse CoA
   packets, which is discussed below in Section 4.  The second addition
   is an extension to the "reverse" routing table for CoA packets that
   was first described in Section 2.1 of [RFC8559].  This addition is
   discussed below in Section 6.

4.  Capability Configuration and Signaling

   In order for a RADIUS server to send reverse CoA packets to a client,
   it must first know that the client is capable of accepting these
   packets.

   Clients and servers implementing reverse CoA MUST have a
   configuration flag which indicates that the other party supports the
   reverse CoA functionality.  That is, the client has a per-server flag
   enabling (or not) reverse CoA functionality.  The server has a
   similar per-client flag.

   The flag can be used where the parties are known to each other.  The
   flag can also be used in conjunction with dynamic discovery
   ([RFC7585]), so long as the server associates the flag with the
   client identity and not with any particular IP address.  That is, the
   flag can be associated with any method of identifying a particular
   client such as TLS PSK identity, information in a client certificate,
   etc.

   The configuration flag allows administrators to statically enable
   this functionality, based on out-of-band discussions with other
   administrators.  This process is best used in an environment where
   all RADIUS proxies are known (or required) to have a particular set
   of functionality, as with a roaming consortium.

   This specification does not define a way for clients and servers to
   negotiate this functionality on a per-connection basis.  The RADIUS
   protocol has little, if any, provisions for capability negotiations,
   and this specification is not the place to add that functionality.

   Without notification, however, it is possible for clients and servers
   to have mismatched configurations.  Where a client is configured to
   accept reverse CoA packets and the server is not configured to send
   them, no packets will be sent.  Where a client is configured to not



DeKok & Cargatser       Expires 18 February 2026                [Page 7]

Internet-Draft                 Reverse CoA                   August 2025


   accept reverse CoA packets and the server is configured to send them,
   the client will silently discard these packets as per [RFC2865],
   Section 3.  In both of those situations, the reverse CoA
   functionality will not be available.  There may be security issues
   when it is not possible to disconnect users, or to change their
   authorization.  See Section 9 for some additional comments on this
   topic.

   Any matched configuration for reverse CoA is therefore identical to
   the situation before reverse CoA was defined.  The relevant issues
   were discussed above in Section 1.

4.1.  Proxies

   As there is no RADIUS routing protocol, the administrator of a proxy
   is responsible for manually validating routing of packets across
   multiple proxies.

5.  Connection Management

   This specification relies entirely on a client making a (D)TLS
   connection to a server.  Where the client does not make a connection
   to the server, or where the client quickly closes connections, the
   reverse CoA functionality will be less useful.

   Where a particular client and server combination is determined to
   support this functionality, the server may need to send reverse CoA
   packets at any time.  A client which does not send watchdog packets
   may have its connection state discarded by a firewall or NAT.  As
   such, the client SHOULD maintain at least connection open to the
   server at all times.

   The application watchdog mechanism defined in [RFC3539], Section 3.4
   SHOULD be used to maintain the connection.  The watchdog packet
   SHOULD be Status-Server, as defined in [RFC5997].

   The watchdog timer (Tw) which is defined in [RFC3539], Section 3.4.1
   SHOULD be initialized to 15 seconds, instead of the default value of
   30 seconds.  A value of 30 seconds is likely to be high enough that
   intermediate nodes may discard connection state.  A value of 15
   seconds is much less likely to result in the connection state being
   discarded.

5.1.  Dynamic Discovery

   When [RFC7585] dynamic discovery is used, systems which need to send
   CoA packets to a destination can use the "aaa+dynauth" lookup that is
   defined in [RFC7585], Section 2.1.1.1.  That process allows for
   systems to make (D)TLS connections directly to a destination.

   The reverse CoA functionality defined here is therefore useful, but
   is not strictly necessary when dynamic discovery is used.  However,
   problems arise when system needing to receive CoA packets chooses to
   not implement dynamic discovery for them, but instead to rely solely
   on the reverse CoA functionality

   Without dynamic discovery, the system necessarily relies instead on
   the reverse CoA functionality which uses the connections that it
   makes to servers.  If at any time the system drops its connections to
   a server, the server has no way to send the CoA packets.

   As such, it is RECOMMENDED that systems which use [RFC7585] for
   Access-Request and/or Accounting-Request packets also use the same
   method for CoA-Request and Disconnect-Request packets.

6.  Reverse Routing across Proxies

   In normal RADIUS proxying. the forward routing table uses the User-
   Name attribute (via the Network Access Identifiers (NAIs) [RFC7542])
   to map realms to next hop servers.  For reverse CoA, [RFC8559],
   Section 2.1 uses the Operator-Name attribute to map a realm to one or
   more next hop servers.

   This specification extends the [RFC8559], Section 2.1 reverse routing
   table to allow the next hop to be found via an open (D)TLS
   connection, rather than a destination hostname or IP address.  A
   server which needs to send reverse CoA packets to clients maintains a
   list of open (D)TLS connections from clients.  It also associates
   both a reverse CoA capability, and one or more realm with each
   connection.

   A server MUST allow one realm to be associated with multiple
   connections.  A server MUST allow multiple realms to be associated
   with one connection.  That is, the "realm to connection" mapping is
   not one-to-one, or 1:N, or M:1, it is N:M, i.e. many-to-many.

   This process occurs for all on-path RADIUS proxies, except for the
   final one which sends the CoA packet to the client.  That proxy
   forwards the reverse CoA packet to the client based on the Operator-
   NAS-Identifier attribute ([RFC8559], Section 3.4) and/or other NAS
   identification attributes such as NAS-Identifier, NAS-IP-Address, or

Internet-Draft                 Reverse CoA                   August 2025


   NAS-IPv6-Address.  The result is that there is a complete forwarding
   path from the home network which authenticates the user, back to the
   visited network where the user is currently located.

6.1.  Errors and Fail Over

   This specification extends [RFC8559], Section 3.2 to handle the
   situation where the destinaion realm is known, but where there is no
   connection over which the request can be routed.

   When a receives an unexpected reverse CoA packet over a connection,
   it MUST be silently discarded as per [RFC2865], Section 3.  A server
   SHOULD log a descriptive message about this error.  This behavior is
   unchanged from prior specifications.

   When a server supports reverse CoA, and receives a reverse CoA packet
   which cannot be forwarded, the server MUST return a NAK packet that
   contains an Error-Cause Attribute having value 502 ("Request Not
   Routable").  The server SHOULD also log a descriptive message about
   this error.  Logging errors helps an administrator discover and
   correct any deficiencies in the server configuration, or in its
   interaction with other systems.

   As with normal proxying, a particular packet can sometimes have the
   choice of more than one connection which can be used to reach a
   destination.  In that case, issues of load-balancing, fail-over, etc.
   are implementation-defined, and are not discussed here.  For the
   purpose of this specification, when a server needs to send a reverse
   CoA connection to a NAS, it just chooses a connection which both
   supports reverse CoA, and which can route packets to the NAS.  The
   server then sends the CoA packet down the chosen connection.

   A server can also use RADIUS/UDP to send the reverse CoA packet;
   there is no requirement that all CoA packets use a "reversed" (D)TLS
   connection.

   After sending a packet, the server then waits for a reply, doing
   retransmission if necessary.  For all issues other than the
   connection being used, reverse CoA packets are handled as defined in
   [RFC5176] and in [RFC8559].  This specification permits reverse CoA
   packets to be sent on what would otherwise be a client to server
   (D)TLS connection.  It does not change the basic functionality of
   proxying CoA packets.

6.2.  Retransmissions

   Retransmissions of reverse CoA packets are handled identically to
   normal CoA packets.  That is, the reverse CoA functionality extends
   the available transport methods for CoA packets, it does not change
   anything else about how CoA packets are handled.

7.  Implementation Status

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
   here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort
   has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
   supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not
   be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
   It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".

7.1.  FreeRADIUS

   The FreeRADIUS project has implemented this specification in the
   v3.2.x (https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/v3.2.x)
   branch which is available on GitHub.  The feature is not enabled by
   default, and requires a build flag WITH_COA_TUNNEL to be defined
   before the new functionality is included with the software.

   Maturity: The implementation is at a "beta" level, but has been
   tested to work with other implementations.

   Coverage: All of this specification is supported.

   Version Compatibility: Earlier versions of this specification are not
   supported, but the current version is supported.

   Licensing: GPLv2

8.  Privacy Considerations

   This document does not change or add any privacy considerations over
   previous RADIUS specifications.

9.  Security Considerations

   It can be necessary to disconnect users, or to change their
   authorization.  It is a security issue when these changes cannot be
   performed.  This specification therefore increases security by making
   it easier to enforce security policies across a chain of unrelated
   proxies.

   This document also increases network security by removing the
   requirement for non-standard "reverse" paths for CoA-Request and
   Disconnect-Request packets.

10.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests no action from IANA.

11.  Acknowledgements

   Thanks to Heikki Vatiainen for testing a preliminary implementation
   in Radiator, and for verifying interoperability with NAS equipment.
