+
+Abstract
+
+   This document describes the URLAUTH extension to the Internet Message
+   Access Protocol (IMAP) (RFC 3501) and the IMAP URL Scheme (IMAPURL)
+   (RFC 2192).  This extension provides a means by which an IMAP client
+   can use URLs carrying authorization to access limited message data on
+   the IMAP server.
+
+   An IMAP server that supports this extension indicates this with a
+   capability name of "URLAUTH".
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   In [IMAPURL], a URL of the form imap://fred@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20
+   requires authorization as userid "fred".  However, [IMAPURL] implies
+   that it only supports authentication and confuses the concepts of
+   authentication and authorization.
+
+   The URLAUTH extension defines an authorization mechanism for IMAP
+   URLs to replace [IMAPURL]'s authentication-only mechanism.  URLAUTH
+   conveys authorization in the URL string itself and reuses a portion
+   of the syntax of the [IMAPURL] authentication mechanism to convey the
+   authorization identity (which also defines the default namespace in
+   [IMAP]).
+
+   The URLAUTH extension provides a means by which an authorized user of
+   an IMAP server can create URLAUTH-authorized IMAP URLs.  A URLAUTH-
+   authorized URL conveys authorization (not authentication) to the data

+
+   addressed by that URL.  This URL can be used in another IMAP session
+   to access specific content on the IMAP server, without otherwise
+   providing authorization to any other data (such as other data in the
+   mailbox specified in the URL) owned by the authorizing user.
+
+   Conceptually, a URLAUTH-authorized URL can be thought of as a "pawn
+   ticket" that carries no authentication information and can be
+   redeemed by whomever presents it.  However, unlike a pawn ticket,
+   URLAUTH has optional mechanisms to restrict the usage of a URLAUTH-
+   authorized URL.  Using these mechanisms, URLAUTH-authorized URLs can
+   be usable by:
+
+      . anonymous (the "pawn ticket" model)
+      . authenticated users only
+      . a specific authenticated user only
+      . message submission acting on behalf of a specific user only
+
+   There is also a mechanism for expiration.
+
+   A URLAUTH-authorized URL can be used in the argument to the BURL
+   command in message composition, as described in [BURL], for such
+   purposes as allowing a client (with limited memory or other
+   resources) to submit a message forward or to resend from an IMAP
+   mailbox without requiring the client to fetch that message data.
+
+   The URLAUTH is generated using an authorization mechanism name and an
+   authorization token, which is generated using a secret mailbox access
+   key.  An IMAP client can request that the server generate and assign
+   a new mailbox access key (thus effectively revoking all current URLs
+   using URLAUTH with the old mailbox access key) but cannot set the
+   mailbox access key to a key of its own choosing.
+
+1.1.  Conventions Used in this Document
+
+   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
+   in this document are to be interpreted as defined in [KEYWORDS].
+
+   The formal syntax uses the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) notation
+   including the core rules defined in Appendix A of [ABNF].
+
+   In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client and
+   server, respectively.  If a single "C:" or "S:" label applies to
+   multiple lines, then the line breaks between those lines are for
+   editorial clarity only and are not part of the actual protocol
+   exchange.

+
+
+2.  Concepts
+
+2.1.  URLAUTH
+
+   The URLAUTH is a component, appended at the end of a URL, that
+   conveys authorization to access the data addressed by that URL.  It
+   contains an authorized access identifier, an authorization mechanism
+   name, and an authorization token.  The authorization token is
+   generated from the URL, the authorized access identifier, the
+   authorization mechanism name, and a mailbox access key.
+
+2.2.  Mailbox Access Key
+
+   The mailbox access key is a random string with at least 128 bits of
+   entropy.  It is generated by software (not by the human user) and
+   MUST be unpredictable.
+
+   Each user has a table of mailboxes and an associated mailbox access
+   key for each mailbox.  Consequently, the mailbox access key is per-
+   user and per-mailbox.  In other words, two users sharing the same
+   mailbox each have a different mailbox access key for that mailbox,
+   and each mailbox accessed by a single user also has a different
+   mailbox access key.
+
+2.3.  Authorized Access Identifier
+
+   The authorized access identifier restricts use of the URLAUTH
+   authorized URL to certain users authorized on the server, as
+   described in section 3.
+
+2.4.  Authorization Mechanism
+
+   The authorization mechanism is the algorithm by which the URLAUTH is
+   generated and subsequently verified, using the mailbox access key.
+
+2.4.1.  INTERNAL Authorization Mechanism
+
+   This specification defines the INTERNAL mechanism, which uses a token
+   generation algorithm of the server's choosing and does not involve
+   disclosure of the mailbox access key to the client.
+
+      Note: The token generation algorithm chosen by the server
+      implementation should be modern and reasonably secure.  At the
+      time of the writing of this document, an [HMAC] such as HMAC-SHA1
+      is recommended.
+
+
+
+

+
+RFC 4467                IMAP - URLAUTH Extension                May 2006
+
+
+      If it becomes necessary to change the token generation algorithm
+      of the INTERNAL mechanism (e.g., because an attack against the
+      current algorithm has been discovered), all currently existing
+      URLAUTH-authorized URLs are invalidated by the change in
+      algorithm.  Since this would be an unpleasant surprise to
+      applications that depend upon the validity of a URLAUTH-authorized
+      URL, and there is no good way to do a bulk update of existing
+      deployed URLs, it is best to avoid this situation by using a
+      secure algorithm as opposed to one that is "good enough".
+
+      Server implementations SHOULD consider the possibility of changing
+      the algorithm.  In some cases, it may be desirable to implement
+      the change of algorithm in a way that newly-generated tokens use
+      the new algorithm, but that for a limited period of time tokens
+      using either the new or old algorithm can be validated.
+      Consequently, the server SHOULD incorporate some means of
+      identifying the token generation algorithm within the token.
+
+   Although this specification is extensible for other mechanisms, none
+   are defined in this document.  In addition to the mechanism name
+   itself, other mechanisms may have mechanism-specific data, which is
+   to be interpreted according to the definition of that mechanism.
+
+2.5.  Authorization Token
+
+   The authorization token is a deterministic string of at least 128
+   bits that an entity with knowledge of the secret mailbox access key
+   and URL authorization mechanism can use to verify the URL.
+
+3.  IMAP URL Extensions
+
+   [IMAPURL] is extended by allowing the addition of
+   ";EXPIRE=<datetime>" and ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" to IMAP
+   URLs that refer to a specific message or message parts.
+
+   The URLAUTH is comprised of ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" and
+   MUST be at the end of the URL.
+
+   URLAUTH does not apply to, and MUST NOT be used with, any IMAP URL
+   that refers to an entire IMAP server, a list of mailboxes, an entire
+   IMAP mailbox, or IMAP search results.
+
+   When ";EXPIRE=<datetime>" is used, this indicates the latest date and
+   time that the URL is valid.  After that date and time, the URL has
+   expired, and server implementations MUST reject the URL.  If
+   ";EXPIRE=<datetime>" is not used, the URL has no expiration, but
+   still can be revoked as discussed below.
+
+
+
+
+Crispin                     Standards Track                     [Page 4]
+
+RFC 4467                IMAP - URLAUTH Extension                May 2006
+
+
+   The URLAUTH takes the form ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>".  It is
+   composed of three parts.  The <access> portion provides the
+   authorized access identifiers, which may constrain the operations and
+   users that are permitted to use this URL.  The <mech> portion
+   provides the authorization mechanism used by the IMAP server to
+   generate the authorization token that follows.  The <token> portion
+   provides the authorization token.
+
+   The "submit+" access identifier prefix, followed by a userid,
+   indicates that only a userid authorized as a message submission
+   entity on behalf of the specified userid is permitted to use this
+   URL.  The IMAP server does not validate the specified userid but does
+   validate that the IMAP session has an authorization identity that is
+   authorized as a message submission entity.  The authorized message
+   submission entity MUST validate the userid prior to contacting the
+   IMAP server.
+
+   The "user+" access identifier prefix, followed by a userid, indicates
+   that use of this URL is limited to IMAP sessions that are logged in
+   as the specified userid (that is, have authorization identity as that
+   userid).
+
+      Note: If a SASL mechanism that provides both authorization and
+      authentication identifiers is used to authenticate to the IMAP
+      server, the "user+" access identifier MUST match the authorization
+      identifier.
+
+   The "authuser" access identifier indicates that use of this URL is
+   limited to IMAP sessions that are logged in as an authorized user
+   (that is, have authorization identity as an authorized user) of that
+   IMAP server.  Use of this URL is prohibited to anonymous IMAP
+   sessions.
+
+   The "anonymous" access identifier indicates that use of this URL is
+   not restricted by session authorization identity; that is, any IMAP
+   session in authenticated or selected state (as defined in [IMAP]),
+   including anonymous sessions, may issue a URLFETCH using this URL.
+
+   The authorization token is represented as an ASCII-encoded
+   hexadecimal string, which is used to authorize the URL.  The length
+   and the calculation of the authorization token depends upon the
+   mechanism used; but, in all cases, the authorization token is at
+   least 128 bits (and therefore at least 32 hexadecimal digits).

+
+
+4.  Discussion of URLAUTH Authorization Issues
+
+   In [IMAPURL], the userid before the "@" in the URL has two purposes:
+
+      1) It provides context for user-specific mailbox paths such as
+         "INBOX".
+
+      2) It specifies that resolution of the URL requires logging in as
+         that user and limits use of that URL to only that user.
+
+   An obvious limitation of using the same field for both purposes is
+   that the URL can only be resolved by the mailbox owner.
+
+   URLAUTH overrides the second purpose of the userid in the IMAP URL
+   and by default permits the URL to be resolved by any user permitted
+   by the access identifier.
+
+   The "user+<userid>" access identifier limits resolution of that URL
+   to a particular userid, whereas the "submit+<userid>" access
+   identifier is more general and simply requires that the session be
+   authorized by a user that has been granted a "submit" role within the
+   authentication system.  Use of either of these access identifiers
+   makes it impossible for an attacker, spying on the session, to use
+   the same URL, either directly or by submission to a message
+   submission entity.
+
+   The "authuser" and "anonymous" access identifiers do not have this
+   level of protection and should be used with caution.  These access
+   identifiers are primarily useful for public export of data from an
+   IMAP server, without requiring that it be copied to a web or
+   anonymous FTP server.  Refer to the Security Considerations for more
+   details.
+
+5.  Generation of URLAUTH-Authorized URLs
+
+   A URLAUTH-authorized URL is generated from an initial URL as follows:
+
+   An initial URL is built, ending with ";URLAUTH=<access>" but without
+   the ":<mech>:<token>" components.  An authorization mechanism is
+   selected and used to calculate the authorization token, with the
+   initial URL as the data and a secret known to the IMAP server as the
+   key.  The URLAUTH-authorized URL is generated by taking the initial
+   URL and appending ":", the URL authorization mechanism name, ":", and
+   the ASCII-encoded hexadecimal representation of the authorization
+   token.
+

+RFC 4467                IMAP - URLAUTH Extension                May 2006
+
+
+      Note: ASCII-encoded hexadecimal is used instead of BASE64 because
+      a BASE64 representation may have "=" padding characters, which
+      would be problematic in a URL.
+
+   In the INTERNAL mechanism, the mailbox access key for that mailbox is
+   the secret known to the IMAP server, and a server-selected algorithm
+   is used as described in section 2.4.1.
+
+6.  Validation of URLAUTH-authorized URLs
+
+   A URLAUTH-authorized URL is validated as follows:
+
+   The URL is split at the ":" that separates "<access>" from
+   "<mech>:<token>" in the ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>" portion of
+   the URL.  The "<mech>:<token>" portion is first parsed and saved as
+   the authorization mechanism and the authorization token.  The URL is
+   truncated, discarding the ":" described above, to create a "rump URL"
+   (the URL minus the ":" and the "<mech>:<token>" portion).  The rump
+   URL is then analyzed to identify the mailbox.
+
+   If the mailbox cannot be identified, an authorization token is
+   calculated on the rump URL, using random "plausible" keys (selected
+   by the server) as needed, before returning a validation failure.
+   This prevents timing attacks aimed at identifying mailbox names.
+
+   If the mailbox can be identified, the authorization token is
+   calculated on the rump URL and a secret known to the IMAP server
+   using the given URL authorization mechanism.  Validation is
+   successful if, and only if, the calculated authorization token for
+   that mechanism matches the authorization token supplied in
+   ";URLAUTH=<access>:<mech>:<token>".
+
+   Removal of the ":<mech>:<token>" portion of the URL MUST be the only
+   operation applied to the URLAUTH-authorized URL to get the rump URL.
+   In particular, URL percent escape decoding and case-folding
+   (including to the domain part of the URL) MUST NOT occur.
+
+   In the INTERNAL mechanism, the mailbox access key for that mailbox is
+   used as the secret known to the IMAP server, and the same server-
+   selected algorithm used for generating URLs is used to calculate the
+   authorization token for verification.

+7.  Additional Commands
+
+   These commands are extensions to the [IMAP] base protocol.
+
+   The section headings of these commands are intended to correspond
+   with where they would be located in the base protocol document if
+   they were part of that document.
+
+BASE.6.3.RESETKEY.  RESETKEY Command
+
+   Arguments:  optional mailbox name
+               optional mechanism name(s)
+
+   Responses:  none other than in result
+
+   Result:     OK - RESETKEY completed, URLMECH containing new data
+               NO - RESETKEY error: can't change key of that mailbox
+               BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid
+
+   The RESETKEY command has two forms.
+
+   The first form accepts a mailbox name as an argument and generates a
+   new mailbox access key for the given mailbox in the user's mailbox
+   access key table, replacing any previous mailbox access key (and
+   revoking any URLs that were authorized with a URLAUTH using that key)
+   in that table.  By default, the mailbox access key is generated for
+   the INTERNAL mechanism; other mechanisms can be specified with the
+   optional mechanism argument.
+
+   The second form, with no arguments, removes all mailbox access keys
+   in the user's mailbox access key table, revoking all URLs currently
+   authorized using URLAUTH by the user.
+
+   Any current IMAP session logged in as the user that has the mailbox
+   selected will receive an untagged OK response with the URLMECH status
+   response code (see section BASE.7.1.URLMECH for more details about
+   the URLMECH status response code).
+
+   Example:
+
+      C: a31 RESETKEY

+                  BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid
+
+   The GENURLAUTH command requests that the server generate a URLAUTH-
+   authorized URL for each of the given URLs using the given URL
+   authorization mechanism.
+
+   The server MUST validate each supplied URL as follows:
+
+      (1) The mailbox component of the URL MUST refer to an existing
+          mailbox.
+
+      (2) The server component of the URL MUST contain a valid userid
+          that identifies the owner of the mailbox access key table that
+          will be used to generate the URLAUTH-authorized URL.  As a
+          consequence, the iserver rule of [IMAPURL] is modified so that
+          iuserauth is mandatory.
+
+             Note: the server component of the URL is generally the
+             logged in userid and server.  If not, then the logged in
+             userid and server MUST have owner-type access to the
+             mailbox access key table owned by the userid and server
+             indicated by the server component of the URL.
+
+      (3) There is a valid access identifier that, in the case of
+          "submit+" and "user+", will contain a valid userid.  This
+          userid is not necessarily the same as the owner userid
+          described in (2).
+
+      (4) The server MAY also verify that the iuid and/or isection
+          components (if present) are valid.
+
+   If any of the above checks fail, the server MUST return a tagged BAD
+   response with the following exception.  If an invalid userid is
+   supplied as the mailbox access key owner and/or as part of the access
+   identifier, the server MAY issue a tagged OK response with a
+   generated mailbox key that always fails validation when used with a
+   URLFETCH command.  This exception prevents an attacker from
+   validating userids.

+
+
+   The URLFETCH command effectively executes with the access of the
+   userid in the server component of the URL (which is generally the
+   userid that issued the GENURLAUTH).  By itself, the URLAUTH does NOT
+   grant access to the data; once validated, it grants whatever access
+   to the data is held by the userid in the server component of the URL.
+   That access may have changed since the GENURLAUTH was done.
+
+   The URLFETCH command MUST return an untagged URLFETCH response and a
+   tagged OK response to any URLFETCH command that is syntactically
+   valid.  A NO response indicates a server internal failure that may be
+   resolved on later retry.
+
+      Note: The possibility of a NO response is to accommodate
+      implementations that would otherwise have to issue an untagged BYE
+      with a fatal error due to an inability to respond to a valid
+      request.  In an ideal world, a server SHOULD NOT issue a NO
+      response.
+
+   The server MUST return NIL for any IMAP URL that references an entire
+   IMAP server, a list of mailboxes, an entire IMAP mailbox, or IMAP
+   search results.
+
+   Example:
+
+      Note: For clarity, this example uses the LOGIN command, which
+      SHOULD NOT be used over a non-encrypted communication path.
+
+      This example is of a submit server, obtaining a message segment
+      for a message that it has already validated was submitted by
+      "fred".

+8.  Additional Responses
+
+   These responses are extensions to the [IMAP] base protocol.
+
+   The section headings of these responses are intended to correspond
+   with where they would be located in the base protocol document if
+   they were part of that document.
+
+BASE.7.1.URLMECH.  URLMECH Status Response Code
+
+   The URLMECH status response code is followed by a list of URL
+   authorization mechanism names.  Mechanism names other than INTERNAL
+   may be appended with an "=" and BASE64-encoded form of mechanism-
+   specific data.
+
+   This status response code is returned in an untagged OK response in
+   response to a RESETKEY, SELECT, or EXAMINE command.  In the case of
+   the RESETKEY command, this status response code can be sent in the
+   tagged OK response instead of requiring a separate untagged OK
+   response.
+
+   Example:
+
+      C: a33 RESETKEY INBOX XSAMPLE
+      S: a33 OK [URLMECH INTERNAL XSAMPLE=P34OKhO7VEkCbsiYY8rGEg==] done
+
+   In this example, the server supports the INTERNAL mechanism and an
+   experimental mechanism called XSAMPLE, which also holds some
+   mechanism-specific data (the name "XSAMPLE" is for illustrative
+   purposes only).
+
+BASE.7.4.GENURLAUTH.   GENURLAUTH Response
+
+   Contents:   One or more URLs
+
+   The GENURLAUTH response returns the URLAUTH-authorized URL(s)
+   requested by a GENURLAUTH command.
+
+   Example:
+
+      C: a777 GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/
+         ;section=1.2;urlauth=submit+fred" INTERNAL
+      S: * GENURLAUTH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
+         ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal:91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
+      S: a777 OK GENURLAUTH completed

+
+
+BASE.7.4.URLFETCH.  URLFETCH Response
+
+   Contents:   One or more URL/nstring pairs
+
+   The URLFETCH response returns the message text data associated with
+   one or more IMAP URLs, as described in [IMAPURL] and extended by this
+   document.  This response occurs as the result of a URLFETCH command.
+
+   The returned data string is NIL if the URL is invalid for any reason
+   (including validation failure).  If the URL is valid, but the IMAP
+   fetch of the body part returned NIL (this should not happen), the
+   returned data string should be the empty string ("") and not NIL.
+
+      Note: This command does not require that the URL refer to the
+      selected mailbox; nor does it require that any mailbox be
+      selected.  It also does not in any way interfere with any selected
+      mailbox.
+
+   Example:
+
+      C: a002 URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/
+         ;section=1.2;urlauth=submit+fred:internal
+         :91354a473744909de610943775f92038"
+      S: * URLFETCH "imap://joe@example.com/INBOX/;uid=20/;section=1.2
+         ;urlauth=submit+fred:internal
+         :91354a473744909de610943775f92038" {28}
+      S: Si vis pacem, para bellum.

+9.  Formal Syntax
+
+   The following syntax specification uses the Augmented Backus-Naur
+   Form (ABNF) notation as specified in [ABNF].
+
+   The following modifications are made to the Formal Syntax in [IMAP]:
+

+10.  Security Considerations
+
+   Security considerations are discussed throughout this memo.
+
+   The mailbox access key SHOULD have at least 128 bits of entropy
+   (refer to [RANDOM] for more details) and MUST be unpredictable.
+
+   The server implementation of the INTERNAL mechanism SHOULD consider
+   the possibility of needing to change the token generation algorithm,
+   and SHOULD incorporate some means of identifying the token generation
+   algorithm within the token.
+
+   The URLMECH status response code may expose sensitive data in the
+   mechanism-specific data for mechanisms other than INTERNAL.  A server
+   implementation MUST implement a configuration that will not return a
+   URLMECH status response code unless some mechanism is provided that
+   protects the session from snooping, such as a TLS or SASL security
+   layer that provides confidentiality protection.
+
+   The calculation of an authorization token with a "plausible" key if
+   the mailbox can not be identified is necessary to avoid attacks in
+   which the server is probed to see if a particular mailbox exists on
+   the server by measuring the amount of time taken to reject a known
+   bad name versus some other name.
+
+   To protect against a computational denial-of-service attack, a server
+   MAY impose progressively longer delays on multiple URL requests that
+   fail validation.
+
+   The decision to use the "authuser" access identifier should be made
+   with caution.  An "authuser" access identifier can be used by any
+   authorized user of the IMAP server; therefore, use of this access
+   identifier should be limited to content that may be disclosed to any
+   authorized user of the IMAP server.
+
+   The decision to use the "anonymous" access identifier should be made
+   with extreme caution.  An "anonymous" access identifier can be used
+   by anyone; therefore, use of this access identifier should be limited
+   to content that may be disclosed to anyone.  Many IMAP servers do not
+   permit anonymous access; in this case, the "anonymous" access
+   identifier is equivalent to "authuser", but this MUST NOT be relied
+   upon.
+
+   Although this specification does not prohibit the theoretical
+   capability to generate a URL with a server component other than the
+   logged in userid and server, this capability should only be provided
+
+

+   when the logged in userid/server has been authorized as equivalent to
+   the server component userid/server, or otherwise has access to that
+   userid/server mailbox access key table.

+11.  IANA Considerations
+
+   This document constitutes registration of the URLAUTH capability in
+   the imap4-capabilities registry.
+
+   URLAUTH authorization mechanisms are registered by publishing a
+   standards track or IESG-approved experimental RFC.  The registry is
+   currently located at:
+
+http://www.iana.org/assignments/urlauth-authorization-mechanism-registry
+
+   This registry is case-insensitive.
+
+   This document constitutes registration of the INTERNAL URLAUTH
+   authorization mechanism.
