Hello,

I’m trying to replace two old Audiocodes gateways (used to interconnect our Skype for Business infrastructure to the PSTN) with a new Kamailio cluster.

I am having some trouble to get the TLS mutual authentication working with Kamailio.  For the moment, I’m just trying to receive the incoming OPTIONS from SfB, but I get all the time certificate verification errors:

ERROR: tls [tls_util.h:42]: tls_err_ret(): TLS accept:error:14089086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_client_certificate:certificate verify failed

ERROR: <core> [tcp_read.c:1330]: tcp_read_req(): ERROR: tcp_read_req: error reading

My tls.cfg is quite simple, with the same config for client and server (and one single listen=tls:<my IP>:5061 in the Kamailio.cfg file)

[server:default]

method = TLSv1+

verify_certificate = yes

require_certificate = yes

private_key = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/key_gw_sfb.pem

certificate = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/cert_gw_sfb.pem  # => This certificate’s Subject is the DNS alias for the cluster, with all the kamailios in the cluster as Subject Alternative Names

ca_list = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/myca_and_sfbca.pem  # => Kamailio and Skype for Business are signed by different CAs,  so here I concatenated all intermediate and root CAs

[client:default]

method = TLSv1+

verify_certificate = yes

require_certificate = yes

private_key = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/key_gw_sfb.pem

certificate = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/cert_gw_sfb.pem

ca_list = /usr/local/etc/kamailio/tls/myca_and_sfbca.pem

When I run Kamailio, I can see incoming OPTIONS from Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging (UM), whose certificate I verify without any issues. UM presents a certificate issued for a single machine, so no Subject Alternative Names (SANs) are involved.

The problem comes with the TLS handshake for the Skype Mediation pool. They have a certificate with Subject = DNS alias and all the physical machines that are behind the alias appear listed as Subject Alternative Names (SANs) in the certificate.

As the only difference between UM and Skype’s Mediation is the certificate’s Subject, I think I am missing something on my configuration to validate the SANs instead of the subject. Is the TLS module doing any reverse DNS lookup to verify this?

Thanks,

Francisco.
