Re: [sr-dev] DMQ security

I agree with Olle that the common "pass the buck" attitude is wrong, although in this case I don't believe securing the messages should be mandatory. Often the communication between servers will be over a private/secure network and the user should be allowed to disable it if they deem it an unnecessary overhead.

Either way, the ability to use TLS where required is a definite must, so I'll go away and look into that now.

Thanks for the comments,

I don't think that TLS should be mandatory for DMQ, just as it is not mandatory for SIP. My thinking was just that if there is a way to configure DMQ to use TLS (perhaps by just putting "tls:" on the front of the server address) it would be a good thing.

I'm inclined to agree. The DMQ module is indeed IPC in nature, so by default I would expect to be responsible for securing that communication at network layer. But still I question myself, is this the correct approach. Charles www.sipcentric.com Follow us on twitter @sipcentric Sipcentric Ltd. Company registered in England & Wales no. 7365592.
