Goal (short description)

Routing of inter domain sessions over a TLS encrypted link between a SER and an OpenSER proxy 

Applicability

Inter-domain SIP routing over TLS. We enable end-users of domain A to communicate with end-users in domain B over their home proxy to the proxy of domain B. All connections use TLS:

      User Agent A   ->   proxy domainA   ->   proxy domainB   ->   User Agent B

Prerequisites (OS, dependencies on other software)

• Both proxies should have TLS enabled between themselves and connected UAs. 
• TLS is enabled for the SER proxy: see 3.16. TLS for SER (UA-Proxy)
• TLS is enabled for the OpenSER proxy: see 3.17. TLS for OpenSER (UA-Proxy)

Configuration  

OpenSER proxy configuration:

• add the certificate chain of the other proxy in PEM format to the CA list file in
  /usr/local/etc/openser/user/user-calist.pem
  You can open the file in a text editor and add the certificate string at the end of the file. 
• add routing logic in the openser.cfg file:

        # check for requests targeted out of our domain
        if (!uri==myself) {
                # mark routing logic in request
                append_hf("P-hint: outbound\r\n");
                # destination DomainA
                if(uri=~"@domainA.net") {
                        t_relay("tls:sipserver.domainA.net:5061");
                        xlog("L_INFO", "Time [%Tf] Route to ces.net :%rm RURI:%ru  FROM:%fu TO:%tu \n buffer %mb \n flags \n %mf \n");
                        exit;
                }
                route(1);
        };

• restart openser:
  # openserctl restart

SER proxy configuration:

xxx

OS specific help

Reminder: this example is based on a compiled version of openSER where the config is in /usr/local/etc/openser and the certificates are in /usr/local/etc/openser/tls/user, which might differ when installed from packages.
