The module can be used to determine if a call has appropriate
permission to be established. Permission rules are stored in
plaintext configuration files similar to
hosts.allow and hosts.deny files used by tcpd.
When allow_routing function is
called it tries to find a rule that matches selected fields of the
message.
OpenSIPS is a forking proxy and therefore a single message can be sent to different destinations simultaneously. When checking permissions all the destinations must be checked and if one of them fails, the forwarding will fail.
The matching algorithm is as follows, first match wins:
Create a set of pairs of form (From, R-URI of branch 1), (From, R-URI of branch 2), etc.
Routing will be allowed when all pairs match an entry in the allow file.
Otherwise routing will be denied when one of pairs matches an entry in the deny file.
Otherwise, routing will be allowed.
A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing no permission control files.
From header field and Request-URIs are always compared with regular
expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
config/permissions.allow.
In addition to call routing it is also possible to check REGISTER messages and decide--based on the configuration files--whether the message should be allowed and the registration accepted or not.
Main purpose of the function is to prevent registration of "prohibited"
IP addresses. One example, when a malicious user registers a contact
containing IP address of a PSTN gateway, he might be able to bypass
authorization checks performed by the SIP proxy. That is undesirable
and therefore attempts to register IP address of a PSTN gateway should
be rejected. Files config/register.allow and config/register.deny contain an example
configuration.
Function for registration checking is called allow_register and the algorithm is very
similar to the algorithm described in
Section 1.1.1, “Call Routing”. The only difference is in the way
how pairs are created.
Instead of From header field the function uses To header field because To header field in REGISTER messages contains the URI of the person being registered. Instead of the Request-URI of branches the function uses Contact header field.
Thus, pairs used in matching will look like this: (To, Contact 1), (To, Contact 2), (To, Contact 3), and so on..
The algorithm of matching is same as described in Section 1.1.1, “Call Routing”.
The module can be used to determine if request is
allowed to the destination specified by an URI stored in
a pvar. Permission rules are stored in
plaintext configuration files similar to
hosts.allow and
hosts.deny used by tcpd.
When allow_uri
function is called, it tries to find a rule that matches
selected fields of the message.
The matching algorithm is as follows, first match wins:
Create a pair <From URI, URI stored in pvar>.
Request will be allowed when the pair matches an entry in the allow file.
Otherwise request will be denied when the pair matches an entry in the deny file.
Otherwise, request will be allowed.
A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing no permission control files.
From URI and URI stored in pvar are always compared with regular
expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
config/permissions.allow.
The module can be used to determine if an address (IP address and port) matches any of the IP subnets stored in cached OpenSIPS database table. Port 0 in cached database table matches any port. IP address and port to be matched can be either taken from the request (allow_source_address) or given as pvar arguments (allow_address).
Addresses stored in cached database table can be grouped together into one or more groups specified by a group identifier (unsigned integer). Group identifier is given as argument to allow_address and allow_source_address functions.
The module can be used to determine if an incoming request can be trusted without authentication.
When allow_trusted
function is called, it tries to find a rule that matches
the request. Rules contain the following fields:
<source address, transport protocol, regular
expression>.
A requests is accepted if there exists a rule, where
source address is equal to source address of request or source address given in pvar,
transport protocol is either "ANY" or equal to transport protocol of request or transport protocol given in pvar, and
regular expression is either empty (NULL in database) or matches From URI of request.
Otherwise the request is rejected.
Rules are stored in a database table specified by module
parameters. There also exists a module parameter
dm_mode that
determines if rules are cached into memory for faster
matching or if database is consulted for each invocation
of allow_trusted function call.
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
No dependencies on other OpenSIPS modules.
Default allow file used by functions without parameters. If you don't specify full pathname then the directory in which is the main config file is located will be used.
Default value is “permissions.allow”.
Example 1.1. Set default_allow_file parameter
...
modparam("permissions", "default_allow_file", "/etc/permissions.allow")
...
Default file containing deny rules. The file is used by functions without parameters. If you don't specify full pathname then the directory in which the main config file is located will be used.
Default value is “permissions.deny”.
Example 1.2. Set default_deny_file parameter
...
modparam("permissions", "default_deny_file", "/etc/permissions.deny")
...
If set then allow_routing functions will check Request-URI of all branches (default). If disabled then only Request-URI of the first branch will be checked.
Do not disable this parameter unless you really know what you are doing.
Default value is 1.
Example 1.3. Set check_all_branches parameter
...
modparam("permissions", "check_all_branches", 0)
...
Suffix to be appended to basename to create filename of the allow
file when version with one parameter of either
allow_routing or
allow_register is used.
Including leading dot.
Default value is “.allow”.
Suffix to be appended to basename to create filename of the deny file
when version with one parameter of either
allow_routing or
allow_register is used.
Including leading dot.
Default value is “.deny”.
This is URL of the database to be used to store rules used by
allow_trusted function.
Default value is “NULL”.
Example 1.6. Set db_url parameter
...
modparam("permissions", "db_url", "dbdriver://username:password@dbhost/dbname")

allow_register function.
Default value is “trusted”.

...
modparam("permissions", "source_col", "source_ip_address")
...
Name of trusted table column containing transport protocol that is matched against transport protocol of received request. Possible values that can be stored in proto_col are “any”, “udp”, “tcp”, “tls”, “sctp”, and “none”. Value “any” matches always and value “none” never.
Default value is “proto”.
Name of trusted table column containing regular expression that is matched against From URI.
Default value is “from_pattern”.
Name of trusted table column containing a string that is added as value to peer_tag AVP if peer_tag AVP has been defined and if the peer matches.
Default value is “tag”.
