drachtio-mw-digest-auth

Performs SIP Digest-based authentication for a user agent server (UAS) or proxy built using drachtio-srf

Usage

Install this as drachtio middleware, providing an object that (optionally) specifies the sip realm to use in challenges, and a function that provides (via callback) the password for a given username and sip realm.

Note: in your callback function, if an unknown/invalid username is provided, simply return null for the password to indicate that a 403 Forbidden response should be generated.

const Srf = require('drachtio-srf');
const srf = new Srf() ;
const digestAuth = require('drachtio-mw-digest-auth') ;
 
srf.connect({...}) ;
 
const challenge = digestAuth({
  realm: 'sip.drachtio.org',
  passwordLookup: function(username, realm, callback) {
    // ..lookup password for username in realm
    return callback(null, password) ;
  }
}) ;
 
srf.use( 'register', challenge) ;
 
srf.register((req, res) => {
 
  // if we reach here we have an authenticated request
 
  console.log(req.authorization) ;
  /*
    Digest: username="103482",realm="sip.drachtio.org",nonce="df24fd41-4fc5-416f-b163-90f774ca0358" \
      uri="sip:73.15.46.10:6060",algorithm=MD5,response="a4881ad854cc0677158206ac9fa90e3b", \
      qop=auth,nc=00000032,cnonce="ea5cec20"
 
    console.log =>
    {
      scheme: 'digest',
      username: '103482',
      realm: 'sip.drachtio.org',
      nonce: 'df24fd41-4fc5-416f-b163-90f774ca0358',
      uri: 'sip:72.1.46.10:6060',
      algorithm: 'MD5',
      response: 'a4881ad854cc0677158206ac9fa90e3b',
      qop: 'auth',
      nc: '00000032',
      cnonce: 'ea5cec20'
    }
   */
  } 
});

Options

407 Proxy Authentication Required

To generate a 407 Proxy Authentication Required challenge response instead of 401 Unauthorized include a proxy property with a value true, e.g:

const challenge = digestAuth({
  proxy: true,
  realm: 'sip.drachtio.org',
  passwordLookup: function(username, realm, callback) {
    // ..lookup password for username in realm
    return callback(null, password) ;
  }
}) ;

Dynamically determining realm based on the request

Realm can be provided as a static value in the middleware configuration, but if it is necessary to dynamically determine the realm based on the specific SIP request method you can provide a function rather than a static string for the realm property. The function takes one parameter, the sip request, and must return either a string or a Promise that resolves to a string, e.g.

const challenge = digestAuth({
  realm: (req) => {
    return lookupRealm(req.uri);  // must return either a string or a promise
  }),
  ...
});

building a registrar for specified domain(s)

You may want to build a registrar that only handles certain domains, and rejects all other requests. To do so, simply return a null or undefined value from your 'realm' function

const parseUri = require('drachtio-srf').parseUri;
const challenge = digestAuth({
  realm: (req) => {
    const uri = parseUri(req.uri);
    if (['my.first.domain', 'my.second.domain'].includes(uri.host)) return uri.host;
    return null;
  }),
  ...
});

realm is optional, so what if I don't supply it?

In that case, the challenge will use the domain in the Request-URI of the INVITE or REGISTER as the realm value in the challenge

Use precomputed hashed passwords, instead of plaintext

Your password database can store passwords in plain text or as precomputed hashes. Using precomputed hashes adds a layer of security to your application. In order to use precomputed hashes, they should be stored according to RFC2617, using MD5( username ":" realm ":" password ). To enable this functionality passwordLookup() should return an object like this {ha1: "YOUR_HASHED_PASSWORD"}

const challenge = digestAuth({
  realm: 'sip.drachtio.org',
  passwordLookup: function(username, realm, callback) {
    // ..lookup hashed password for username in realm
    return callback(null, {ha1: "YOUR_HASHED_PASSWORD"}) ;
  }
}) ;

Using w/ "outbound mode"

When using digest auth with drachtio-srf in outbound mode, you can pass srf as an opt to digestAuth(), and the middleware will run srf.endSession(req) with a 401, 403, or 407.

const challenge = digestAuth({
  srf: srf,
  realm: 'sip.drachtio.org',
  passwordLookup: function(username, realm, callback) {
    // ..lookup password for username in realm
    return callback(null, password) ;
  }
}) ;
