1. Overview

   1.1. Call Routing
   1.2. Registration Permissions
   1.3. URI Permissions
   1.4. Address Permissions
   1.5. Trusted Requests

   The Permissions module provides functions for handling IP based access
   control lists (ACL) in a number of ways.
     * Call Routing
     * Registration permissions
     * URI permissions
     * Address permissions
     * Trusted Requests

   The Address permissions and Trusted request handling supports using a
   database to load ACLs into RAM for fast processing.

1.1. Call Routing

   The module can be used to determine if a call has appropriate
   permission to be established. Permission rules are stored in plaintext
   configuration files similar to hosts.allow and hosts.deny files used by
   tcpd.

   When allow_routing function is called it tries to find a rule that
   matches selected fields of the message.

   Kamailio is a forking proxy and therefore a single message can be sent
   to different destinations simultaneously. When checking permissions all
   the destinations must be checked and if one of them fails, the
   forwarding will fail.

   The matching algorithm is as follows, first match wins:
     * Create a set of pairs of form (From, R-URI of branch 1), (From,
       R-URI of branch 2), etc.
     * Routing will be allowed when all pairs match an entry in the allow
       file.
     * Otherwise routing will be denied when one of pairs matches an entry
       in the deny file.
     * Otherwise, routing will be allowed.

   A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an
   empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing no
   permission control files.

   From header field and Request-URIs are always compared with regular
   expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
   config/permissions.allow.

1.2. Registration Permissions

   In addition to call routing it is also possible to check REGISTER
   messages and decide--based on the configuration files--whether the
   message should be allowed and the registration accepted or not.

   Main purpose of the function is to prevent registration of "prohibited"
   IP addresses. One example, when a malicious user registers a contact
   containing IP address of a PSTN gateway, he might be able to bypass
   authorization checks performed by the SIP proxy. That is undesirable
   and therefore attempts to register IP address of a PSTN gateway should
   be rejected. Files config/register.allow and config/register.deny
   contain an example configuration.

   The function for registration checking is called allow_register and the
   algorithm is very similar to the algorithm described in Section 1.1,
   “Call Routing”. The only difference is in the way how pairs are
   created.

   Instead of the From header field the function uses the To header field
   because th To header field in REGISTER messages contains the URI of the
   person being registered. Instead of the Request-URI of branches the
   function uses the Contact header field.

   Thus, the pairs used in matching will look like this: (To, Contact 1),
   (To, Contact 2), (To, Contact 3), and so on..

   The algorithm of matching is the same as described in Section 1.1,
   “Call Routing”.

1.3. URI Permissions

   The module can be used to determine if a request to a destination is
   allowed, based on an URI stored in a pvar. Permission rules are stored
   in plaintext configuration files similar to hosts.allow and hosts.deny
   used by tcpd.

   When the allow_uri function is called, it tries to find a rule that
   matches selected fields of the message. The matching algorithm is as
   follows, where the first match wins:
     * Create a pair <From URI, URI stored in pvar>.
     * Request will be allowed when the pair matches an entry in the allow
       file.
     * Request will be denied when the pair matches an entry in the deny
       file.
     * Otherwise, request will be allowed.

   A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an
   empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing no
   permission control files.

   The From URI and the URI stored in pvar are always compared with
   regular expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
   config/permissions.allow.

1.4. Address Permissions

   The module can be used to determine if an address (IP address and port
   or DNS domain name) matches any of the addresses stored in a cached
   Kamailio database table. IP addresses in the database table can be
   subnet addresses. Port 0 in cached database table matches any port. The
   address and port to be matched can be either taken from the request
   (allow_source_address) or given as pvar arguments (allow_address).

   Addresses stored in the database table can be grouped together into one
   or more groups specified by a group identifier (positive integer value,
   i.e., equal or greater than 1). The group identifier is given as an
   argument to the allow_address() and allow_source_address() functions.
   One group can contain all of the three types of addresses: exact IP
   address, subnet IP address or DNS domain name.

   When the argument is an IP address, it is tried to be matched with the
   records from that group that are of type exact IP or subnet. If the
   argument is not an IP it is tried to be matched with the records that
   are DNS domain names. No DNS lookup is performed, only strict matching.

   As a side effect of matching the address, non-NULL tag (see tag_col
   module parameter) is added as value to peer_tag AVP if peer_tag_avp
   module parameter has been defined.

1.5. Trusted Requests

   The module can be used to determine if an incoming request can be
   trusted without authentication.

   When the allow_trusted function is called, it tries to find a rule that
   matches the request. Rules contain the following fields: <source
   address, transport protocol, regular expression>.

   A requests is accepted if there exists a rule, where
     * source address is equal to the source address of the request or the
       source address given in pvar,
     * transport protocol is either "ANY" or equal to the transport
       protocol of request or the transport protocol given in pvar, and
     * regular expression is either empty (NULL in database) or matches
       the From URI of request.

   Otherwise the request is rejected.

   As a side effect of accepting the request, the peer's non-NULL tag (see
   tag_col module parameter) is added as value to peer_tag AVP if the
   peer_tag_avp module parameter has been defined.

   Rules are stored in a database table specified by the module
   parameters. There is a module parameter called db_mode that determines
   if the rules are cached into memory for faster matching or if the
   database is consulted for each invocation of the allow_trusted()
   function call.

        t_relay();
};
...

4.7.  allow_address(group_id, ip_addr_pvar, port_pvar)

   Returns true if the address and port given as values of pvar arguments
   belonging to a group given as group_id argument matches an IP subnet or
   a DNS domain name found in cached address table.

   When matching is done if the argument is an IP address, it is matched
   with the records from that group that are of type exact IP or subnet.
   If the argument is not an IP it is tried to be matched with the records
   that are DNS domain names. No DNS lookup is performed, only strict
   matching. Cached address table entry containing port value “0” matches
   any port. The “group_id” argument can be an integer string or a pseudo
   variable.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.29. allow_address() usage
...

// Check if source address/port is in group 1
if (!allow_address("1", "$si", "$sp")) {
        sl_send_reply("403", "Forbidden");
};
// Check address/port stored in AVPs src_adr/src_port is in group 2
$avp(dst_adr) = "sipdomain.com";
$avp(dst_port) = "0";
if (!allow_address("2", "$avp(dst_adr)", "$avp(dst_port)") {
        sl_send_reply("403", "Forbidden");
};
...

4.8.  allow_source_address([group_id])

   Equal to “allow_address(group_id, "$si", "$sp")”. If 'group_id' is
   missing, the function is equal to allow_address("1", "$si", "$sp").

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.30. allow_source_address(group_id) usage
...

// Check source address/port of request
if (!allow_source_address("1")) {
        sl_send_reply("403", "Forbidden");
};
...

4.9.  allow_source_address_group()

   Checks if source address/port is found in cached address or subnet
   table in any group. If yes, returns that group. If not returns -1. Port
   value 0 in cached address and group table matches any port.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.31. allow_source_address_group() usage
...

$var(group) = allow_source_address_group();
if ($var(group) != -1) {
   # do something with $var(group)
};
...

4.10.  allow_address_group(addr, port)

   Checks if address/port is found in cached address or subnet table in
   any group. If yes, returns that group. If not returns -1. Port value 0
   in cached address and group table matches any port. The parameters can
   be pseudo-variables.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.32. allow_source_address_group() usage
...

$var(group) = allow_address_group("1.2.3.4", "5060");
if ($var(group) != -1) {
   # do something with $var(group)
};
...

4.11.  allow_trusted([src_ip_pvar, proto_pvar])

   Checks based either on request's source address and transport protocol
   or source address and transport protocol given in pvar arguments, and
   From URI of request if request can be trusted without authentication.
   Returns “1” if a match is found as described in Section 1.5, “Trusted
   Requests” and “-1” otherwise. If a match is found and peer_tag_avp has
   been defined, adds a non-NULL tag column value of the matching peer to
   AVP peer_tag_avp.

   Source address and transport protocol given in pvar arguments must be
   in string format. Valid transport protocol values are (ignoring case)
   "any", "udp, "tcp", "tls", "ws", "wss" and "sctp".

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.33. allow_trusted() usage
...
if (allow_trusted()) {
        t_relay();
};
...
if (allow_trusted("$si", "$proto")) {
        t_relay();
};
