[Serusers] Digest Authentication with Tenor DX
by Ashutosh Kumar 29 Apr '25

Hi, Does someone have any idea/experience with Quintum DX radius server's support for digest mode authentication. The Access-Request packets sent by SER are getting an error back. Guide.

[Serusers] Carrier-grade framework for SER
by Andreas Granig 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi guys, I'd like to propose another possibility for a highly-available and scalable system design based on SER: The problems I've encountered for scalable systems are: - Distribution of the user location and alias location among the nodes (user location is based on registrations, alias location comes from web interfaces and is used for call forwarding). - Reloading up to date location tables after breakdown and recovery of a node So I'm just thinking loud about the following provisioning system: - Write a client which fulfills the this demands: - Receive one or more locations from SER via a SER module or from a web application and distribute them to other known clients. Take care of retransmissions if a client isn't reachable or reports a temporary failure. - Receive one or more locations from other clients and write them into the SER FIFO. If writing into the FIFO fails, try to write directly into the database (location-table, alias-table etc.). Report a temporary failure if this also fails. Maybe a centralized server should be used which receives the locations from the clients and distributes them to other clients, so that the nodes just know about the server and nothing about other nodes. This would make integration of new nodes easy. On the other hand, it's another single point of failure, so a decentralized solution should be considered. But that would mean that you've to inform every node about the existence of a new node. The protocol used between the nodes should be simple and fast. So I think SOAP drops out here. Maybe XMLRPC or ICE (http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html) could be used. One might think now why not just use replication on SIP layer, but t_replicate only supports one peer and you've no possibility to get locations on a node while it's down. Replication of other location tables like the alias-table is also not possible. I'd be willing to release these parts as GPL for creating an open framework for carrier-grade SER integration, so any feedback, improvements or flames are highly welcome. Cheers, Andy

[Serusers] Routing users to other SIP server
by KaveH Aasaraai 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hi, I was wondering how I can route my SER users to other SIP servers, without need of authentication to other server. I mean this: My User -> Auth -> My SER My SER -> Auth -> Other SIP Server My User --------make call--------> My SER --------route call-------> Other SIP Server Thank you.

RE: [Serusers] RTP proxy between two subnetworks with private @s
by Jose Soler 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi Joao, No I was not able to solve the issue. It seems (this is my guess tough) that the Portaone RTP proxy assumes that it has one public IP adress, so the valid configuration to use it is Public Nt-Private Nt. I was not able to make it work in other configurations (neiher I got feedback from Portaone to do so). Nevertheless the code is available, so it could be modified...as long as you have the time and will to do so. I did not ;).

[Serusers] Modifying "From" header field of an INVITE message
by scm-j＠nuntius.com 04 May '06

04 May '06

I am relatively new to SER. My SIP service provider requires me to present the ANI in the "From" field in my INVITE message header in E.164 format. I am currently sending this information as follows: From: "2125551212" <sip:2125551212@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> They want it in E.164 format as follows: From: "+12125551212" <sip:+12125551212@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> I see function only to modify the SIP URI but not the other header or SDP fields. Could someone help me with a code snippet that I can use in ser.cfg to do this conversion? Regards, SCM

Re: [Serusers] Distributing "OSP enable SER" binary file w/ source code
by vmathur＠transnexus.com 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hernan, OSP uses Public key based authentication and encrytion schemes, which are stronger than Radius's shared secrets. If you use OSP for authentication and authorization, you need not use Radius. OSP, just like Radius, has a client stack, which is implemented in the SER, and has a Server, which provides centralized call routing, accounting, and security. At the time of startup, the OSP server and the client, the SER in this case, exchange their public keys. The public and private keys can then be used to encode/decode messages as desired. A typical call setup procedure looks like this 1. The source SER goes to the osp server to get the SIP URI corresopnding to the destination. The message is encoded using the source SER's private key. 2. The osp server decodes the message using source SERs public key and after successful decoding (authentication) returns the route back to the source. Along with the route, it also sends back a digitally signed (using the OSP Servers private key) token. 3. The Source uses the route returned by the OSP Srver to send an INVITE. The INVITE message contains the token issued by the OSP Server 4. The destination decodes/validates the token using the OSP Servers public key. Upon successful validation (authorization) it accepts the call. This saves you the effort of mantaining cumbersome access lists for authentication. I can provide you with more documentatin on OSP and how to use SER with OSP if you wish Thanks, Vikrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fogive my ignorance for I have never heard of OSP before ;) You mentioned Radius in your message. How does Radius authentication work in OSP? I am having a tough time getting mine to work. hernan vmathur(a)transnexus.com wrote: Dear All, I have recently implemented OSP w/ SER. OSP is an ETSI defined protocol, which I am using for ceneralised routing, and security of my inter-domain calls. The problem, however, is that the build process is a little lengthy. I want to contribute my implementation to this group so that anyone who is struggling with SER routing configurations or Radius authentication issues may benefit from it. I was, thus, wondering if we can have a binary file of the OSP enabled SER, that can be distributed with the source code. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Also, for anyone who wants to check-out this implementation, I can provide more details.
