## Overview

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.

### 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`.

### 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 sec-call-routing. The only difference is in the way how pairs are created. Additionally one can use `allow_register_include_port` function in order to include the port value of the Contact into the check.

Instead of the From header field the function uses the To header field because the 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 sec-call-routing.

### 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`.

### 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 or file. IP addresses in the database table or file can be subnet addresses. Port 0 matches any port. The address and port to be matched can be either taken from the source of IP packet of the request (allow_source_address) or given as a variable argument (allow_address).

Addresses stored in the database table or file 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.

Starting with Kamailio version 6.1.x, the `allow_address()` its related functions can do First Prefix Match (FPM) or the Longest Prefix Match (LPM) methods to find the subnet matching record, which can set the tag variable. The matching method is controled by the parameter subnet_match_mode.

Th LPM means the `_group` variants will now return the most specific (longest) subnet match, instead of the first match (which was previously the entry with the lowest group ID). The FPM/LPM behavior is now consistent across the following functions:

- `allow_address()`

- `allow_source_address()`

- `allow_source_address_group()`

- `allow_address_group()`

### 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 request 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 request's From (or optionally provided) URI.

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.

### `allow_trusted([src_ip_pvar, proto_pvar, furi_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 (or furi_pvar if provided) if request can be trusted without authentication. Returns 1 if a match is found as described in sec-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.

NOTE: source IP is matched using string comparison. Be careful if the IP can have different forms, for a safer alternative for matching IP addresses, look at allow_source_address or allow_address().

Source address, transport protocol and uri given in the arguments must be in string format and they can contain script variables. Valid transport protocol values are (ignoring case) "any", "udp, "tcp", "tls", "ws", "wss" and "sctp".

## RPC Commands

### `permissions.addressReload`

Causes the permissions module to re-read the contents of address database table into cache memory. In cache memory the entries are for performance reasons stored in two different tables: address table and subnet table depending on the value of the mask field (IPv6: 64 or smaller, IPv4: 32 or smaller). Note that there is a rate limiting defined by 'reload_delta' parameter. By default is allowed maximum one reload in five seconds.

Parameters: none

This RPC command is exported with "RPC_EXEC_DELTA" flag, therefore its execution rate can be restricted to specific time intervals by setting the "rpc_exec_delta" core parameter.

### `permissions.addressDump`

Causes the permissions module to dump the contents of cache memory address table. (Not the subnet table).

Parameters: none

### `permissions.subnetDump`

Causes permissions module to dump contents of cache memory subnet table.

Parameters: none

### `permissions.domainDump`

Causes permissions module to dump contents of cache memory domain table.

Parameters: none

### `permissions.testUri`

Tests if the (URI, Contact) pair is allowed according to allow/deny files. The files must already have been loaded by &kamailio;.

Parameters:

- basename - Basename from which allow and deny filenames will be created by appending contents of the allow_suffix and deny_suffix parameters.

- URI - URI to be tested

- Contact - Contact to be tested

### `permissions.allowUri`

### `permissions.trustedReload`

Causes the permissions module to re-read the contents of the trusted database table into cache memory. Note that there is a rate limiting defined by 'reload_delta' parameter. By default is allowed maximum one reload in five seconds.

Parameters: none

This RPC command is exported with "RPC_EXEC_DELTA" flag, therefore its execution rate can be restricted to specific time intervals by setting the "rpc_exec_delta" core parameter.

### `permissions.trustedDump`

Causes the permissions module to dump contents of the trusted database table from cache memory.

Parameters: none

## Address File Format

It is a text file with one record per line. Lines starting with '#' are considered comments and ignored. Comments can be also at the end of records, by using '#' to start the comment part of the line.

Each record line has the format:

    ...
    (groupid,int) (address,str) (netmask,int,o), (port,int,o) (tag,str,o)
    ...

The groupid, address, netmask, port and tag are the names of the attributes whose values are expected in the respective order. The 'int' indicates that the value has to be an integer number. The 'str' indicates that the value has to be a string. The 'o' indicates that the attribute is optional. If netmask is not provided, it is set to 32 for IPv4 addresses and 128 for IPv6 addresses. If port is not provided, it is set to 0. The tag attribute is not set, if not provided. When provided, the tag value has to be a single token, without whitespaces (other punctuation signs can be in its value, like ',', '=', ';', ...).

### Address File Sample

    ...
    # address file - records to match with allow_address(...) and variants
    # * file format details
    #   - comments start with # and go to end of line
    #   - each line corresponds to a record with following attributes:
    #
    #     (groupid,int) (address,str) (netmask,int,o), (port,int,o) (tag,str,o)
    #
    # * description of the tokens used to describe line format
    #   - int: expected integer value
    #   - str: expected string value
    #   - o: optional field

## Register File Format

It is a text file with one record per line. Lines starting with '#' are considered comments and ignored. Comments can be also at the end of records, by using '#' to start the comment part of the line.

Each record line has the format:

    ...
    (from_list,str) (req_uri_list,str)
    ...

The 'str' indicates that the value has to be a string compatible with POSIX Extended Regular Expressions.

### Register File Sample

    ...
    # Syntax:
    #	from_list [EXCEPT from_list] : req_uri_list [EXCEPT req_uri_list]
    #
    # 	from_list and req_uri_list are comma separated expressions
    # 	Expressions are treated as case insensitive POSIX Extended Regular Expressions.
    # 	Keyword ALL matches any expression.
    #
    # Examples (requires a usage of allow_register() function):
    #	ALL : "^sip:361[0-9]*@abc\.com$" EXCEPT "^sip:361[0-9]*3@abc\.com$", "^sip:361[0-9]*4@abc\.com$"
    #
    #	"^sip:3677[0-9]*@abc\.com$" :  "^sip:361[0-9]*@abc\.com$"
    #
    #	All : ALL
    #
    # Examples including port check (requires a usage of allow_register_include_port() function):
    #
    # ALL : "^sip:.*@192.168.0.1:5062"
    ...
