Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
and Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Status Mapping
Abstract
This document describes the mapping of the Extensible Provisioning
Protocol (EPP) statuses with the statuses registered for use in the
Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP). This document identifies
gaps in the mapping, and registers RDAP statuses to fill those gaps
to ensure that all of the EPP statuses specified in RFCs are
supported in RDAP.

1. Introduction
This document maps the statuses defined in the Extensible
Provisioning Protocol (EPP) RFCs to the list of statuses registered
for use in the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP), in the "RDAP
JSON Values" registry [rdap-json-values].
The "RDAP JSON Values" registry is described in Section 10.2 of
[RFC7483] and is available in the "RDAP JSON Values" registry
[rdap-json-values].
The EPP statuses used as the source of the mapping include
Section 2.3 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Domain Name
Mapping [RFC5731], Section 2.3 of "Extensible Provisioning Protocol
(EPP) Host Mapping" [RFC5732], Section 2.2 of "Extensible
Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Contact Mapping" [RFC5733], and
Section 3.1 of "Domain Registry Grace Period Mapping for the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)" [RFC3915].
Each EPP status MUST map to a single RDAP status to ensure that data
in the Domain Name Registries (DNRs) that use EPP can be accurately
presented in RDAP.
1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. EPP-to-RDAP Status Mapping
Below is a list of EPP statuses from the EPP RFCs ([RFC5731],
[RFC5732], [RFC5733], and [RFC3915]) mapped to the RDAP statuses
registered in the "RDAP JSON Values" registry [rdap-json-values],
with the format <EPP Status> '=' <RDAP Status>, where a blank <RDAP
Status> indicates a gap in the mapping.

The "RDAP JSON Values" registry [rdap-json-values] does have a set of
prohibited statuses including "renew prohibited", "update
prohibited", "transfer prohibited", and "delete prohibited", but
these statuses do not directly map to the EPP prohibited statuses.
EPP provides status codes that allow distinguishing the case that an
action is prohibited because of server policy from the case that an
action is prohibited because of a client request. The ability to
make this distinction needs to be preserved in RDAP.
Each of the EPP status values that don't map directly to an RDAP
status value is described below. Each EPP status value includes a
proposed new RDAP status value and a description of the value. The
RDAP status value is derived from the EPP status value by converting
the EPP "camelCase" representation to lowercase with a space
character inserted between word boundaries.
addPeriod = add period; This grace period is provided after the
initial registration of the object. If the object is deleted by
the client during this period, the server provides a credit to
the client for the cost of the registration.
Gould Standards Track [Page 3]RFC 8056 EPP RDAP Status Mapping January 2017
autoRenewPeriod = auto renew period; This grace period is provided
after an object registration period expires and is extended
(renewed) automatically by the server. If the object is deleted
by the client during this period, the server provides a credit to
the client for the cost of the auto renewal.
clientDeleteProhibited = client delete prohibited; The client
requested that requests to delete the object MUST be rejected.
clientHold = client hold; The client requested that the DNS
delegation information MUST NOT be published for the object.
clientRenewProhibited = client renew prohibited; The client
requested that requests to renew the object MUST be rejected.
clientTransferProhibited = client transfer prohibited; The client
requested that requests to transfer the object MUST be rejected.
clientUpdateProhibited = client update prohibited; The client
requested that requests to update the object (other than to
remove this status) MUST be rejected.
pendingRestore = pending restore; An object is in the process of
being restored after being in the redemption period state.
redemptionPeriod = redemption period; A delete has been received,
but the object has not yet been purged because an opportunity
exists to restore the object and abort the deletion process.
renewPeriod = renew period; This grace period is provided after an
object registration period is explicitly extended (renewed) by
the client. If the object is deleted by the client during this
period, the server provides a credit to the client for the cost
of the renewal.
serverDeleteProhibited = server delete prohibited; The server set
the status so that requests to delete the object MUST be
rejected.
serverRenewProhibited = server renew prohibited; The server set the
status so that requests to renew the object MUST be rejected.
serverTransferProhibited = server transfer prohibited; The server
set the status so that requests to transfer the object MUST be
rejected.
Gould Standards Track [Page 4]RFC 8056 EPP RDAP Status Mapping January 2017
serverUpdateProhibited = server update prohibited; The server set
the status so that requests to update the object (other than to
remove this status) MUST be rejected.
serverHold = server hold; The server set the status so that DNS
delegation information MUST NOT be published for the object.
transferPeriod = transfer period; This grace period is provided
after the successful transfer of object registration sponsorship
from one client to another client. If the object is deleted by
the client during this period, the server provides a credit to
the client for the cost of the transfer.
The resulting mapping after registering the new RDAP statuses is:
addPeriod = add period
autoRenewPeriod = auto renew period
clientDeleteProhibited = client delete prohibited
clientHold = client hold
clientRenewProhibited = client renew prohibited
clientTransferProhibited = client transfer prohibited
clientUpdateProhibited = client update prohibited
inactive = inactive
linked = associated
ok = active
pendingCreate = pending create
pendingDelete = pending delete
pendingRenew = pending renew
pendingRestore = pending restore
pendingTransfer = pending transfer
pendingUpdate = pending update
redemptionPeriod = redemption period
renewPeriod = renew period
serverDeleteProhibited = server delete prohibited
serverRenewProhibited = server renew prohibited
serverTransferProhibited = server transfer prohibited
serverUpdateProhibited = server update prohibited
serverHold = server hold
transferPeriod = transfer period

4. Security Considerations
The status values described in this document can be subject to
server-side information disclosure policies that restrict display of
the values to authorized clients. Implementers may wish to review
[RFC7481] for a description of the RDAP security services that can be
used to implement information disclosure policies.
