Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

This module is a management module for TLS certificates and parameters. It provides an interfaces for all the modules that use the TLS protocol. It also implements TLS related functions to use in the routing script, and exports pseudo variables with certificate and TLS parameters.

1.2. History

The TLS support was originally developed by Peter Griffiths and posted as a patch on SER development mailing list. Thanks to Cesc Santasusana, several problems were fixed and some improvements were added.

The TLS support was simultaneously added in both projects. In SER, the support was committed in a separate experimental CVS tree, as patch to the main CVS tree. In OpenSIPS, the support was integrated directly into the CVS tree, as a built-in component, and is part of stable OpenSIPS since release >=1.0.0.

Starting from OpenSIPS 2.2, the certificates managemnet has been decoupled from the TLS communication in two different modules: dh_params which handles the TLS communication and tls_mgm which handles TLS handshake (certificates and parameters).

1.3. Usage

This module is used to provision TLS certificates and parameters for all the modules that use TLS transport (currently only proto_tls). The module supports multiple virtual domains that can be assigned to different listeners (servers) or new connections (clients). Each TLS module that uses this management module should assign itself to one or more domains.

A script example which details this module's usage can be found in Section 1.9, “OpenSIPS with TLS - script example”.

1.4. Dependencies of external libraries

OpenSIPS TLS v1.0 support requires the following packages:

  • openssl or libssl >= 0.9.6

  • openssl-dev or libssl-dev

OpenSIPS TLS v1.1/1.2 support requires the following packages:

  • openssl or libssl >= 1.0.1e

  • openssl-dev or libssl-dev

1.5. Exported Functions

1.5.1.  is_peer_verified

Returns 1 if the message is received via TLS and the peer was verified during TLS connection handshake, otherwise it returns -1

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.

Example 1.1. is_peer_verified usage

...
if (is_peer_verified()) {
        xlog("L_INFO","request from verified TLS peer\n");
} else {
        xlog("L_INFO","request not verified\n");
}
...

1.6. Exported MI Functions

1.6.1.  tls_list

List all domains information.

1.6.2.  tls_reload

Reloads information from the database.

1.7. OpenSIPS Exported parameters

All these parameters can be used from the opensips.cfg file, to configure the behavior of OpenSIPS-TLS.

1.7.1. listen=interface

Not specific to TLS. Allows to specify the protocol (udp, tcp, tls), the IP address and the port where the listening server will be.

Example 1.2. Set listen variable

...
listen = tls:1.2.3.4:5061
...
				

1.7.2. tls_method [(string):](string)

Sets the TLS protocol. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain. TLS method which can be:

  • TLSv1_2 - means OpenSIPS will accept only TLSv1.2 connections (rfc3261 conformant).

  • TLSv1 - means OpenSIPS will accept only TLSv1 connections (rfc3261 conformant).

  • SSLv3 - means OpenSIPS will accept only SSLv3 connections

  • SSLv2 - means OpenSIPS will accept only SSLv2 connections (almost all old clients support this).

  • SSLv23 - means OpenSIPS will accept any of the above methods, but the initial SSL hello must be v2 (in the initial hello all the supported protocols are advertised enabling switching to a higher and more secure version). The initial v2 hello means it will not accept connections from SSLv3 or TLSv1 only clients.

Default value is SSLv23.

Warning

Best is to use SSLv23, for extended compatibility. Using any of the other will restrict the version to just that one version. In fact, SSLv2 is disabled in the source code; to use it, you need to edit tls/tls_init.c

If you want RFC3261 conformance and all your clients support TLSv1 (or you are planning to use encrypted "tunnels" only between different OpenSIPS proxies) use TLSv1. If you want to support older clients use SSLv23 (in fact most of the applications with SSL support use the SSLv23 method).

Example 1.3. Set tls_method variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "tls_method", "TLSv1")
modparam("tls_mgm", "tls_method", "dom:TLSv1")
...
				

1.7.3. certificate [(string):](string)

Public certificate file for OpenSIPS. It will be used as server-side certificate for incoming TLS connections, and as a client-side certificate for outgoing TLS connections. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

Default value is "CFG_DIR/cert.pem".

Example 1.4. Set certificate variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "certificate", "/mycerts/certs/opensips_server_cert.pem")
modparam("tls_mgm", "certificate", "dom:/mycerts/certs/opensips_server_cert.pem")
...
				

1.7.4. private_key [(string):](string)

Private key of the above certificate. I must be kept in a safe place with tight permissions! The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

Default value is "CFG_DIR/cert.pem".

Example 1.5. Set private_key variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "private_key", "/mycerts/private/prik.pem")
modparam("tls_mgm", "private_key", "dom:/mycerts/private/prik.pem")
...
				

1.7.5. ca_list [(string):]((string)

List of trusted CAs. The file contains the certificates accepted, one after the other. It MUST be a file, not a folder. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

Default value is "".

Example 1.6. Set ca_list variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "ca_list", "/mycerts/certs/ca_list.pem")
modparam("tls_mgm", "ca_list", "dom:/mycerts/certs/ca_list.pem")
...
				

1.7.6. ca_dir [(string):](string)

Directory storing trusted CAs. The path contains the certificates accepted, each as hash which is linked to certificate file. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

Default value is "".

Example 1.7. Set ca_dir variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "ca_dir", "/mycerts/certs")
modparam("tls_mgm", "ca_dir", "dom:/mycerts/certs")
...
				

1.7.7. ciphers_list [(string):](string)

You can specify the list of algorithms for authentication and encryption that you allow. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain. To obtain a list of ciphers and then choose, use the openssl application:

  • openssl ciphers 'ALL:eNULL:!LOW:!EXPORT'

Warning

Do not use the NULL algorithms (no encryption) ... only for testing!!!

It defaults to the OpenSSL default ciphers.

Example 1.8. Set ciphers_list variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "ciphers_list", "NULL")
modparam("tls_mgm", "ciphers_list", "dom:NULL")
...
				

1.7.8. dh_params [(string):](string)

You can specify a file which contains Diffie-Hellman parameters as a PEM-file. This is needed if you would like to specify ciphers including Diffie-Hellman mode. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

It defaults to not set a dh param file.

Example 1.9. Set dh_params variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "dh_params", "/etc/pki/CA/dh1024.pem")
modparam("tls_mgm", "dh_params", "dom:/etc/pki/CA/dh1024.pem")
...
				

1.7.9. ec_curve[(string):](string)

You can specify an elliptic curve which should be used for ciphers which demand an elliptic curve. The first parameter, if set, represents the id of the domain.

It's usable only if TLS v1.1/1.2 support was compiled. A list of curves which can be used you can get by

				openssl ecparam -list_curves
			

It defaults to not set a elliptic curve.

1.7.10. verify_cert [(string):](string) and require_cert[(string):](string)

Technically, verify_cert activates SSL_VERIFY_PEER in the ssl_context. 'require_cert' does the same with SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT, which is only possible if SSL_VERIFY_PEER is also turned on. Since version 2.1, these parameters act have been reduced to only one. They act both on client side and server side if no domain specified, elseway they act on a specific domain, depending on the first parameter.

These two parameters are used for incoming TLS connections, where OpenSIPS acts as server.

It's usable only if TLS support was compiled.

Default value for both is 1.

Example 1.10. Set verify_cert & require_cert variable

...
# turn on the strictest and strongest authentication possible
modparam("tls_mgm", "require_cert", "1")
modparam("tls_mgm", "require_cert", "1:1")
modparam("tls_mgm", "verify_cert", "0")
modparam("tls_mgm", "verify_cert", "1:1")
...
				

1.7.11. tls_handshake_timeout (integer)

Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) for the handshake sequence to complete. It may be necessary to increase this value when using a CPU intensive cipher for the connection to allow time for keys to be generated and processed.

The timeout is invoked during acceptance of a new connection (inbound) and during the wait period when a new session is being initiated (outbound).

Default value is 100.

Example 1.11. Set tls_handshake_timeout variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "tls_handshake_timeout", 200) # number of milliseconds
...
				

1.7.12. tls_send_timeout (integer)

Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) for the send operations to complete

The send timeout is invoked for all TLS write operations, excluding the handshake process (see: tls_handshake_timeout)

Default value is 100.

Example 1.12. Set tls_send_timeout variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "tls_send_timeout", 200) # number of milliseconds
...
				

1.7.13. client_domain_avp (integer)

This sets the interger AVP used for name based TLS server domains (please see tls_client_domain for more details). Setting the value to 0 disables name based TLS client domains.

It's usable only if TLS support was compiled.

Default value is 0.

Example 1.13. Set client_domain_avp variable

...
modparam("tls_mgm", "client_domain_avp", "400")
...
				

1.7.14.  db_mode (integer)

When db_mode is enabled (1), this module cannot accept new domains configuration from the script.

Default value is 0. (not enabled)

Example 1.14. Usage of db_mode block

1.7.32. server_domain, client_domain (string)

If you only run one domain, the main one is enough. If you are running several TLS servers (that is, you have more than one listen=tls:ip:port entry in the config file), you can specify some parameters for each of them separately (not all the above).

The wording 'TLS domain' means that this TLS connection will have different parameters than another TLS connection (from another TLS domain). Thus, TLS domains must are not directly related to different SIP domains, although they are often used in common. Depending on the direction of the TLS handshake, a TLS domain is called 'client domain' (=outgouing TLS connection) or 'server domain' (= incoming TLS connection).

For example, TLS domains can be used in virtual hosting scenarios with TLS. OpenSIPS offers SIP service for multiple domains, e.g. atlanta.com and biloxi.com. Altough both domains will be hosted a single SIP proxy, the SIP proxy needs 2 certificates: One for atlanta.com and one for biloxi.com. For incoming TLS connections, the SIP proxy has to present the respective certificate during the TLS handshake. As the SIP proxy does not have received a SIP message yet (this is done after the TLS handshake), the SIP proxy can not retrieve the target domain (which will be usually retrieved from the domain in the request URI). Thus, distinction for these domains must be done by using multiple sockets. The socket on which the TLS connection is received, identifies the respective domain. Thus the SIP proxy is able to present the proper certificate.

For outgoing TLS connections, the SIP proxy usually has to provide a client certificate. In this scenario, socket based distinction is not possible as there is no dedicated outgoing socket. Thus, the certificate selection (selection of the proper TLS client domain) will be name based. For this purpose, TLS client domains can be associated with a name (e.g. the domain can be used as name). If the SIP proxy establishes a new outgoing TLS connection, it checks for the TLS client domain AVP (parameter client_domain_avp). If this AVP is set (e.g. in OpenSIPS.cfg), OpenSIPS searches for a TLS client domain with the same name and uses the certificates defined in the respective tls_client_domain section.

TLS client domains can also be socket based. If name based domains are disabled or no name based AVP is found, OpenSIPS searches for socket based TLS client domains. In this case the mapping between to the TLS client domain is done based on the destination socket of the underlying outgoing TCP connection.

Note: If there is already an existing TLS connection to the remote target, it will be reused wether the TLS client domain AVP matches or not.

NOTE: Make sure to also configure OpenSIPS to listen on the specified IP:port.

NOTE: Except tls_handshake_timeout and tls_send_timeout all TLS parameters can be set per TLS domain. If a parameter is not explicit set, the default value will be used.

It's usable only if TLS support was compiled.

1.8. Pseudo-Variables

This module exports the follong pseudo-variables:

Some pseudo variables are available for both, the peer'S certificate and the local certificate. Further, some parameters can be read from the Subject field or the Issuer field.

1.8.1. $tls_version

$tls_version - the TLS/SSL version which is used on the TLS connection from which the message was received. String type.

$tls_peer_notAfter - Returns the notAfter validity date of the peer's certificate. String type.

1.9. OpenSIPS with TLS - script example

IMPORTANT: The TLS support is based on TCP, and for allowing OpenSIPS to use TCP, it must be started in multi-process mode. So, there is a must to have the "fork" parameter set to "yes":

NOTE: Since the TLS engine is quite memory consuming, increase the used memory by the run time parameter "-m" (see OpenSIPS -h for more details).

  • fork = yes

Chapter 2. Developer Guide

2.1. API Functions

2.1.1. find_server_domain

struct tls_domain *find_server_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Find a TLS server domain with given ip and port (local listening socket).

2.1.2. find_client_domain

struct tls_domain *find_client_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Find TLS client domain.

2.1.3. get_handshake_timeout

int get_handshake_timeout(void);

Returns the handshanke timeout.

2.1.4. get_send_timeout

int get_send_timeout(void);

Returns the send timeout.

2.2. TLS_CONFIG

It contains configuration variables for OpenSIPS's TLS (timeouts, file paths, etc).

2.3. TLS_INIT

Initialization related functions and parameters.

2.3.1. ssl context

extern SSL_CTX *default_client_ctx;

The ssl context is a member of the TLS domain strcuture. Thus, every TLS domain, default and virtual - servers and clients, have its own SSL context.

2.3.2. pre_init_tls

int init_tls(void);

Called once to pre_initialize the tls subsystem, from the main(). Called before parsing the configuration file.

2.3.3. init_tls

int init_tls(void);

Called once to initialize the tls subsystem, from the main(). Called after parsing the configuration file.

2.3.4. destroy_tls

void destroy_tls(void);

Called once, just before cleanup.

2.3.5. tls_init

int tls_init(struct socket_info *c);

Called once for each tls socket created, from main.c

2.3.6. os_malloc, os_realloc, os_free

Wrapper functions around the shm_* functions. OpenSSL uses non-shared memory to create its objects, thus it would not work in OpenSIPS. By creating these wrappers and configuring OpenSSL to use them instead of its default memory functions, we have all OpenSSL objects in shared memory, ready to use.

2.4. TLS_DOMAIN

2.4.1. tls_domains

extern struct tls_domain *tls_default_server_domain;

The default TLS server domain.

extern struct tls_domain *tls_default_client_domain;

The default TLS client domain.

extern struct tls_domain *tls_server_domains;

List with defined server domains.

extern struct tls_domain *tls_client_domains;

List with defined client domains.

2.4.2. tls_find_server_domain

struct tls_domain *tls_find_server_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Find a TLS server domain with given ip and port (local listening socket).

struct tls_domain *tls_find_client_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Find TLS client domain.

2.4.4. tls_find_client_domain_addr

struct tls_domain *tls_find_client_domain_addr(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Find TLS client domain with given ip and port (socket of the remote destination).

2.4.5. tls_find_client_domain_name

struct tls_domain *tls_find_client_name(str name);

Find TLS client domain with given name.

2.4.6. tls_new__domain

struct tls_domain *tls_new_domain(int type);

Creates new TLS: allocate memory, set the type and initialize members

2.4.7. tls_new_server_domain

int tls_new_server_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Creates and adds to the list of TLS server domains a new domain.

2.4.8. tls_new_client_domain

int tls_new_client_domain(struct ip_addr *ip, unsigned short port);

Creates and adds to the list of TLS client domains a new socket based domain.

2.4.9. tls_new_client_domain_name

int tls_new_client_domain_name(char *s, int len);

Creates and adds to the list of TLS client domains a new name based domain.

2.4.10. tls_free_domains

void tls_free_domains(void);

Cleans up the entire domain lists.
