 +====== Create Certificates to be used with Kamailio ======
  
 +Creating suitable certificates for Kamailio is just as simple as configuring Apache with SSL/TLS. If you do not have certificates you can use the "openssl" tool to generate the certificates:
 +
 +===== Creating Certificates with OpenSSL =====
 +
 +Following example was done on a Debian Lenny installation. On other Linux distributions you may have to adopt the openssl.cnf file (e.g. /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf).
 +
 +  * Change the default policy to be more flexible, edit /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf (replace policy_match with policy_anything):
 +
 +  ...
 +  # A few difference way of specifying how similar the request should look
 +  # For type CA, the listed attributes must be the same, and the optional
 +  # and supplied fields are just that :-)
 +  policy          = policy_anything
 +  ...
 +
 +  * Make a directory to store your certificates (of course you should secure this directory to prevent unprivileged access):
 +
 +  mkdir /etc/certs
 +  chmod 0700 /etc/certs
 +  cd /etc/certs
 +
 +  * Create a self-signed CA (cartificate authority) certificate (valid for 10 years):
 +
 +  mkdir demoCA
 +  cd demoCA
 +  mkdir newcerts
 +  echo '01' > serial
 +  touch index.txt
 +  openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 3650
 +  # Optional, verify the content of the new CA certificate:
 +  openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text
 +  openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -dates
 +  openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -purpose
 +  cd ..
 +
 +  * Make a certificate for your SIP proxy sip.mydomain.com (create keys and a certificate signing request (CSR), then sign the CSR with the CA's certificate)
 +
 +  mkdir sip.mydomain.com
 +  cd sip.mydomain.com/
 +  openssl req -new -nodes -keyout key.pem -out req.pem
 +  cd ..
 +  openssl ca -days 730 -out sip.mydomain.com/cert.pem -keyfile demoCA/key.pem -cert demoCA/cert.pem -infiles sip.mydomain.com/req.pem
 +
 +  * Make a certificate for another SIP proxy anotherdomain.com (create keys and a certificate signing request (CSR), then sign the CSR with the CA's certificate)
 +
 +  mkdir anotherdomain.com
 +  cd anotherdomain.com/
 +  openssl req -new -nodes -keyout key.pem -out req.pem
 +  cd ..
 +  openssl ca -days 730 -out anotherdomain.com/cert.pem -keyfile demoCA/key.pem -cert demoCA/cert.pem -infiles anotherdomain.com/req.pem
 +
 +  * Optional, verify the content of the new certificates:
 +
 +  openssl x509 -in anotherdomain.com/cert.pem -noout -text
 +  openssl x509 -in sip.mydomain.com/cert.pem -noout -text
 +==== Using the Certificates with TLS ====
 +
 +  * Now you can use these certificates with Kamailio, e.g: (following snippet is for Kamailio 3.0 and 3.1)<code>
 +  enable_tls=1
 +  tcp_async=no  # do not include in 3.1
 +  tcp_connection_lifetime=3610  
 +  listen=udp:<ip-address-for-receiving-sip-requests>:5060
 +  listen=tcp:<ip-address-for-receiving-sip-requests>:5060  
 +  
 +  modparam("tls", "private_key", "/etc/certs/sip.mydomain.com/key.pem")
 +  modparam("tls", "certificate", "/etc/certs/sip.mydomain.com/cert.pem")
 +  modparam("tls", "ca_list", "/etc/certs/demoCA/cert.pem")
 +</code>
 +  * If you want to have different certificates in function of the role (server or client), or who are you talking with, you need to use a separate tls config file, see http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/modules/tls/tls.html#config.
 +
 +==== Using TLS and the Certificates with SIP Phones ====
 +
 +  * Further, you SIP client needs to be provisioned with to trust your self-signed CA. Depending on your SIP client there are various options how to configure, e.g.:
 +    * eyebeam: copy the CA certificate (/etc/certs/demoCA/cert.pem) to the Windows PC and add it to the Windows certificate store (Start->Control Panel->Internet)
 +    * QjSimple: copy the CA certificate (/etc/certs/demoCA/cert.pem) to the client PC and configure QjSimple to use this CA ("TLS CA file" and "verify TLS server certificate)
 +    * Snom Phones: by default Snom accepts untrusted certificates, you just need to set **Outbound Proxy** field to "yoursipserver.com;transport=tls".
 +
 +==== Testing ====
 +
 +  * You can test with the openssl tools, e.g. connecting to the server without certificate validation:
 +
 +  # openssl s_client -connect localhost:5061 -tls1
 +  CONNECTED(00000003)
 +  depth=1 /C=AT/ST=Vienna/L=Vienna/O=My private CA/CN=My private CA
 +  verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
 +  verify return:0
 +
 +  * Connecting to the server without certificate validation:
 +
 +  # openssl s_client -connect localhost:5061 -tls1 -CAfile /etc/certs/demoCA/cert.pem
 +  CONNECTED(00000003)
 +  depth=1 /C=AT/ST=Vienna/L=Vienna/O=My private CA/CN=My private CA
 +  verify return:1
 +  depth=0 /C=AT/ST=Vienna/L=Vienna/O=Cheap-Call Limited/CN=sip.mydomain.com
 +  verify return:1
