UAC (User Agent Client) module provides some basic UAC functionalities like FROM / TO header manipulation (anonymization) or client authentication.
If the dialog module is loaded and a dialog can be created, then the auto mode can be done more efficiently.
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
TM - Transaction Module.
RR - Record-Route Module, but only if restore mode for FROM URI is set to “auto”.
UAC_AUTH - UAC Authentication Module.
Dialog Module, if “force_dialog” module parameter is enabled, or a dialog is created from the configuration script.
There are 3 mode of restoring the original headers (FROM/TO) URI:
“none” - no information about original URI is stored; restoration is not possible.
“manual” - all following replies will be restored, except for the sequential requests - these must be manually updated based on original URI.
“auto” - all sequential requests and replies will be automatically updated based on stored original URI.
This parameter is optional, it's default value being “auto”.
String password to be used to encrypt the RR storing parameter (when replacing the TO/FROM headers). If empty, no encryption will be used.
Default value of this parameter is empty.
Example 1.2. Set restore_passwd
parameter
... modparam("uac","restore_passwd","my_secret_passwd") ...
Name of Record-Route header parameter that will be used to store (encoded) the original FROM URI.
This parameter is optional, it's default value being “vsf”.
Example 1.3. Set rr_from_store_param
parameter
... modparam("uac","rr_from_store_param","my_Fparam") ...
Replace in FROM/TO header the display name or/and the URI part.
Both parameters are string. The display is optional. If missing, only the URI will be changed in the message.
IMPORTANT: calling the function more than once per branch will lead to inconsistent changes over the request.Be sure you do the change only ONCE per branch. Note that calling the function from REQUEST ROUTE affects all the branches!, so no other change will be possible in the future. For per branch changes use BRANCH and FAILURE route.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE and FAILURE_ROUTE.
Example 1.6. uac_replace_from
/uac_replace_to
usage
... # replace both display and uri uac_replace_from($avp(display),$avp(uri)); # replace only display and do not touch uri uac_replace_from("batman",""); # remove display and replace uri uac_replace_from("","sip:robin@gotham.org"); # remove display and do not touch uri uac_replace_from("",""); # replace the URI without touching the display uac_replace_from( , "sip:batman@gotham.org"); ...
This function will check if the FROM/TO URI was modified and will use the information stored in header parameter to restore the original FROM/TO URI value.
NOTE - this function should be used only if you configured MANUAL restoring of the headers (see restore_mode param). For AUTO and NONE, there is no need to use this function.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
This function can be called only from failure route and will build the authentication response header and insert it into the request without sending anything. Credentials for buiding the authentication response will be taken from the list of credentials provided by the uac_auth module (static or via AVPs).
As optional parameter, the function may receive a list of auth algorithms to be considered / supported during authentication:
MD5, MD5-sess
SHA-256, SHA-256-sess (may be missing, depends on lib support)
SHA-512-256, SHA-512-256-sess (may be missing, depends on lib support)
Note that the CSeq is automatically increased during authentication.
This function can be used from FAILURE_ROUTE.
NOTE: when used without dialog support, the uac_auth() function cannot be used for authenticating in-dialog requests, as there is no mechanism to store the CSeq changes that are required for ensuring the correctness of the dialog. The only exception are BYE messages, which are the last messages within a call, hence no further adjustments are needed. The function can still be used for authenticating the initial INVITE though.
Example 1.8. uac_auth
usage
... uac_auth(); ... failure_route[check_auth] { ... if ($T_reply_code==407) { if (uac_auth("MD5,MD5-sess")) { # auth is succesful, just relay t_relay(); exit; } # auth failed (no credentials maybe) # so continue handling the 407 reply } ... } ...
This function can be called to increase the CSeq of an ongoing request.
It receives as the cseq parameter the value that the CSeq should be incremented with.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE and FAILURE_ROUTE.
2.1. | What happened with auth_username_avp, auth_realm_avp and auth_password_avp parameters |
Due some restructuring of the UAC auth modules, these parameters were moved into the "uac_auth" module. This module is now responsible for handling all the credentials (static defined or dynamically defined via AVPs). The UAC module will still see the credentials defined via the AVPs. | |
