OpenH323 Gatekeeper - The GNU Gatekeeper is an open-source project that implements an H.323 gatekeeper. A gatekeeper provides call control services to the H.323 endpoints. It is an integral part of most usefull internet telephony installations that are based on the H.323 standard.
According to Recommendation H.323, a gatekeeper shall provide the following services:
The GNU Gatekeeper implements most of these functions based on the OpenH323 protocol stack.
Recommendation H.323 is an international standard published by the ITU. It is a communications standard for audio, video, and data over the Internet. See also Paul Jones' primer on H.323.
For a detailed description of what a gatekeeper does, see here.
It is covered by the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). In addition to that, we explicitely grant the right to link this code to the OpenH323 and OpenSSL library.
Generally speaking, the GNU GPL allows you to copy, distribute, resell or modify the softwares, but it requires that all derived works must be published under GNU GPL also. That means that you must publish full source for all extensions to the gatekeeper and for all programs you include the gatekeeper into. See the file COPYING for details.
If that's not what you want, you must interface to the gatekeeper through the status thread and communicatie via TCP with it. That way you only have to integrate the basic funtionality into the gatekeeper (and provide source for that) and can keep other parts of your application private.
The formal name of this project is OpenH323 Gatekeeper - The GNU Gatekeeper, shortly OpenH323GK or GnuGK. Please don't confuse it with other gatekeeper projects.
There are several open-source gatekeeper projects based on the OpenH323 protocol stack.
A full featured gatekeeper freely available under MPL. The project has been inactive for a period of time now. There is an H.323 proxy based on OpenGatekeeper, see OpenH323Proxy.
Only in a very primary grades.
To have different gatekeepers with very similar names is really confusing for
most users. Since our "OpenH323 Gatekeeper" was the first on the scene, it is
not our fault that others have chosen similar names. But to make the destinction
a little more clear without confusing people even more, we have decided to give
the project a subtitle "OpenH323 Gatekeeper - The GNU Gatekeeper" and start
using gnugk
as name for executables.
The new features added to version 2.0.2 are:
Of course, the major functions in version 2.0 are also included:
reload
' command via status port, or
on receiving HUP
signal (Unix platform).
The newest stable and a development version are available at the download page.
The very latest source code is in the CVS at Sourceforge ( Web-GUI). Beware - that's the bleeding edge.
You can also download executables from Sourceforge. Only some versions are made available as executables.
There are two mailing list for the project, one for the developers and one for the users.
General user questions should be send to the users mailing list. You can find the list archive here. To join this mailing list, click here.
To report problems or submit bugs/patches, send mails to the developers mailing list. The list archive is here. Please send user questions to the users mailinglist and keep this list to development! If you want to contribute to the project, please join the mailing list.
Note: Please don't send your questions as private emails to individual developer. We are usually busy. We would not like to be your private consultant, unless you'd like to pay us. Send your problems to the appropriate public mailing list so everybody can help you.
Please also note don't send the GnuGK specific problems to the OpenH323 mailing list, or vice versa. Or you will definitely be ignored. They are different projects, though closely related. The developers are also different, though they usually work together in some ways.
Before you sending an email, make sure you have read the related documents carefully. Describe your problems clearly and precisely. Show us the error messages or logs if there is any. If you don't know how to ask questions in a public forum, read Eric S. Raymond's famous article How To Ask Questions The Smart Way before you asking.
The current project coordinator is Jan
Willamowiusmailto:jan@willamowius.de
The main features and functions of version 2.0 are contributed by Chih-Wei Huangmailto:cwhuang@linux.org.tw
and Citron Network Inc., including thread-safe
registration and call tables, new routed mode architecture, H.323 proxy, H.235
authentication and MySQL backend.
A team at mediaWays is working on LDAP database-subsystem, overlapped sending and advanced routing mechanisms.
The initial version of the gatekeeper has been developed by Xiang Ping Chen, Joe Metzger and Rajat Todi.
To build the gatekeeper you need at least PWLib 1.2 and OpenH323 1.8 or later. The development version of the gatekeeper usually needs the most recent OpenH323 version available. These libraries are available at OpenH323 Download Page. See the instructions on how to compile the OpenH323 code.
Order of compiling:
On Unix do a make debug
or make opt
in the
gatekeeper directory to build debug or release version, respectively. Use
make both
to build both versions. Note you have to use GCC 2.95.2
or later. The older version may not work.
On Windows just open and compile the provided project (gk.dsw
)
for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 or 7.0 (Visual C++ 5.0 is too old).
Since version 2.0, the Gatekeeper supports MySQL and LDAP backend databases. If you don't want MySQL support, you may set NO_MYSQL environment before making:
$ NO_MYSQL=1 make both
To leave out LDAP support:
$ NO_LDAP=1 make both
Or disable both with
$ NO_MYSQL=1 NO_LDAP=1 make both
Since version 2.0.1 the Gatekeeper has implemented an extended fd_set structure that enables the Gatekeeper to support thousands of concurrent calls in routed mode. To enable this feature, export LARGE_FDSET environment variable to the maximum number of file descriptors. For example,
$ LARGE_FDSET=16384 make opt
There is no special installation procedure needed. Just copy the executable
to the directory you like and create a config file for it. There are several
config examples in the etc/
subdirectory of source tree. See
section Configuration
File for detailed explanations.
For example, in Linux x86 platform, the optimized executable
gnugk
is produced in obj_linux_x86_r/
subdirectory.
You may copy it to /usr/sbin/
, create a config in
/etc/gnugk.ini
and start it by
$ /usr/sbin/gnugk -c /etc/gnugk.ini -o /var/log/gnugk.log -ttt
See section Command Line Options
for details.
If you do not wish to compile the gatekeeper from source, there are several pre-built `packages' available from SourceForge. Not all versions will be made available as binaries - check what is avilable.
Red Hat packages (.rpm)
Download the RPMs and enter the following command as root
,
substitute in the name of the file you downloaded.
$ rpm -Uvh gnugk-x.x.x.rpm
Debian packages (.deb)
If you are using the `stable' (woody) branch of Debian, you can install the
gatekeeper by using the following command as root
:
$ apt-get install openh323gk
To see that all components are up and running, get 2 Linux workstations, both connected to the LAN. Make sure you have at least version 1.1 of OpenH323 and OhPhone installed. On the first machine run the gatekeeper and ohphone (on different consoles):
jan@machine1> gnugk -ttt
Now the gatekeeper is running in direct mode. The "-ttt
" option
tells the gatekeeper to do a lot of debug output on the console (you can direct
that output to a file with "-o logfile
").
jan@machine1> ohphone -l -a -u jan
Now this OhPhone is listening (-l
) for calls and will
automatically accept them (-a
). It has registered as user jan with
the gatekeeper that it will automatically detect. (If the auto detect fails for
some reason use "-g 1.2.3.4
" to specify the IP number the
gatekeeper is running on.)
On the second machine run ohphone only:
peter@machine2> ohphone -u peter jan
The second instance of OhPhone registers with the auto detected gatekeeper as user peter and tries to call user jan. The gatekeeper will resolve the username to the IP number from where user jan has registered (machine1 in this case) and OhPhone will call the other instance of OhPhone on machine one.
The first instance of OhPhone will accept that call and Peter and Jan can chat.
Now we try to see which messages are handled by the gatekeeper. On a new console on machine1 we use telnet to connect to the gatekeeper:
jan@machine1> telnet machine1 7000
Most probably we'll get an "Access forbidden!" message, because not everybody is allowed to spy.
Now we create a file called gatekeeper.ini
and put it in the
directory where we start the gatekeeper. gatekeeper.ini
only
contains 4 lines:
[Gatekeeper::Main]
Fourtytwo=42
[GkStatus::Auth]
rule=allow
Stop the gatekeeper with Ctrl-C and restart it. When we do the telnet again, we stay connected with the gatekeeper. Now repeat the first experiment where Peter calls Jan and see which messages are handled by the gatekeeper in non-routed mode. There is a number of commands that can be issued in this telnet session: Type "help" to see them. To end the telnet session with the gatekeeper type "quit" and hit Enter.
Starting the gatekeeper in routed mode means that the gatekeeper uses "gatekeeper routed signalling" for all calls. In this mode the gatekeeper all signalling messages go through the gatekeeper and it has much greater control over the calls.
jan@machine1> gnugk -r
Now the gatekeeper is running in routed mode. Telnet to the status port and make a call to see what messages are now handled by the gatekeeper.
Note that all media packets (audio and video) are still sent directly between the endpoints (the 2 instances of ohphone).
Since gatekeeper routed signalling is much more complicated you are much more likely to hit a bug n the gatekeeper in this mode. But if it breaks, you get to keep the pieces. ;-)
Until now the gatekeeper has only acted as a mechanism to resolve symbolic names to IP addresses. Thats an important function but hardly exciting.
Since the gatekeeper has a lot of control over the calls, it can terminate
them for example. When we are connected to the status port, we can list all
active calls with "PrintCurrentCalls
". To terminate a call, we can
say "Disconnectip 1.2.3.4
" for one of its endpoints.
One could for example write a simple script that connects to the status port and listens for all ongoing calls and terminates them after 5 minutes, so no user can over use system resources.
This mechanism could also be used to call transfers between users or call forwarding. (But thats not yet implemented in the gatekeeper.)
Without using a gateway you can only call other people with an IP phone over the Internet. To reach people with ordinary telephones you must use a gateway.

|_______________|
The gatekeeper has to know which calls are supposed to be routed over the gateway and what numbers shall be called directly. Use the [RasSrv::GWPrefixes] section of the config file to tell the gatekeeper the prefix of numbers that shall be routed over the gateway.
[RasSrv::GWPrefixes]
gw1=0
This entry tells the gatekeeper to route all calls to E.164 numbers starting with 0 to the gateway that has registered with the H.323 alias "gw1". If there is no registered gateway with that alias the call will fail. (Note that you must use the gateway alias - you can't just tell the gatekeeper the IP number of the gateway.)
When using a gateway you often have to use different numbers internally and rewrite them before sending them over a gateway into the telephone network. You can use the RasSrv::RewriteE164 section to configure that.
Example: You want to call number 12345 with you IP Phone and would like to reach number 08765 behind a gateway called "gw1".
[RasSrv::GWPrefixes]
gw1=0
[RasSrv::RewriteE164]
12345=08765
The behavior of the gatekeeper is completely determined by the command line
options and configuration file. Some command line options may override the
setting of the configuration file. For example, the option -l
overrides the setting TimeToLive
in the configuration file.
Almost every option has a short and a long format, e.g., -c
is
the same as --config
.
-h --help
Show all available options and quit the program.
-c --config filename
Specify the configuration file to use.
-s --section section
Specify which main section to use in the configuration file. The default is [Gatekeeper::Main].
-i --interface IP
Specify the interface(IP) that the gatekeeper listens to. You should leave out this option to let the gatekeeper automatically determine the IP it listens to, unless you want the gatekeeper only binds to a specified IP.
-l --timetolive n
Specify the time-to-live timer in seconds for endpoint registration. It
overrides the setting TimeToLive
in the configuration file. See
there for detailed
explanations.
-b --bandwidth n
Specify the total bandwidth available for the gatekeeper. Without specifying this option, the bandwidth management is disable by default.
--pid filename
Specify the pid file, only valid for Unix version.
The options in this subsection override the settings in the [RoutedMode] section of the configuration file.
-d --direct
Use direct endpoint call signalling.
-r --routed
Use gatekeeper routed call signalling.
-rr --h245routed
Use gatekeeper routed call signalling and H.245 control channel.
-o --output filename
Write trace log to the specified file.
-t --trace
Set trace verbosity. The more -t
you add, the more verbose to
output. For example, use -ttttt
to set the trace level to 5.
The configuration file is a standard text file. The basic format is:
[Section String]
Key Name=Value String
Comments are marked with a hash (#
) or a semicolon
(;
) at the beginning of a line.
The file complete.ini
contains all available sections for the
GnuGK. In most cases it doesn't make sense to use them all at once. The file is
just meant as a collection of examples for many settings.
The configuration file can be changed at runtime. Once you modify the
configuration file, you may issue reload
command via status port,
or send a signal HUP
to the gatekeeper process on Unix. For
example,
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/gnugk.pid`
Note It is said that some section names in GnuGK 2.0 are [RasSrv::*], while others are [RasSvr::*]. This inconsistency confuses users. In 2.0.1 all sections are corrected to [RasSrv::*]. If you upgrade from 2.0 or eariler version, remember to change the section names, or the GnuGK will refuse to start.
Fourtytwo=42
N/A
This setting is used to test the presence of the config file. If it is not found, a warning is issued. Make sure it's in all your config files.
Name=OpenH323GK
OpenH323GK
Gatekeeper identifier of this gatekeeper. The gatekeeper will only respond to GRQs for this ID and will use it in a number of messages to its endpoints.
Home=192.168.1.1
0.0.0.0
The gatekeeper will listen for requests on this IP number. By default, the gatekeeper listens on all interfaces of your host. You should leave out this option, unless you want the gatekeeper only to bind to a specified IP.
NetworkInterfaces=192.168.1.1/24,10.0.0.1/0
N/A
Specify the network interfaces of the gatekeeper. By default the gatekeeper will detect the interfaces of your host automatically. There are two situations that you may want to use this option. One is automatical detection failed, another is the gatekeeper is behind an NAT box and allow endpoints with public IPs to register with. In this case you should set the option just as the gatekeeper is running on the NAT box.
EndpointIDSuffix=_gk1
_endp
The gatekeeper will assign a unique identifier to each registered endpoint. This option can be used to specify a suffix to append to the endpoint identifier. This is only usefull when using more than one gatekeeper.
TimeToLive=300
-1
An endpoint's registration with a gatekeeper may have a limited life span. The gatekeeper specifies the registration duration of an endpoint by including a timeToLive field in the RCF message. After the specified time, the registration has expired. The endpoint shall periodically send an RRQ having the keepAlive bit set prior to the expiration time. Such a message may include a minimum amount of information as described in H.225.0. This is called a lightweight RRQ.
This configuration setting specifies the time-to-live timer in seconds until the registration expires. Note the endpoint may request a shorter timeToLive in the RRQ message to the gatekeeper. To avoid an overload of RRQ messages, the gatekeeper automatically adjusts this timer to 60 seconds if you give a lesser value!
After the expiration time, the gatekeeper will subsequently send two IRQ messages to query if the endpoint is still alive. If the endpoint responds with an IRR, the registration will be extended. Otherwise the gatekeeper will send a URQ with reason ttlExpired to the endpoint. The endpoint must then re-register with the gatekeeper using a full RRQ message.
To disable this feature, set it to -1
.
TotalBandwidth=100000
-1
Total bandwidth available to be given to endpoints.
RedirectGK=Endpoints> 100 || Calls> 50
N/A
This option allow you to redirect endpoints to alternate gatekeepers when the gatekeeper overloaded. For example, with the above setting the gatekeeper will reject an RRQ if registered endpoints exceed 100, or reject an ARQ if concurrent calls exceed 50.
Furthermore, you may explicitly redirects all endpoints by setting this
option to temporary
or permanent
. The gatekeeper
will return an RAS rejection message with a list of alternate gatekeepers
defined in AlternateGKs
. Note that a permanent
redirection means that the redirected endpoints will not register with this
gatekeeper again. Please also note the function only takes effect to H.323
version 4 compliant endpoints.
AlternateGKs=1.2.3.4:1719:false:120:OpenH323GK
N/A
We allow for existence of another gatekeeper to provide redundancy. This is implemented in a active-active manner. Actually, you might get into a (valid !) situation where some endpoints are registered with the first and some are registered with the second gatekeeper. You should even be able use the two gatekeepers in a round_robin fashion for load-sharing (that's untested, though :-)). If you read on, "primary GK" refers to the gatekeeper you're currently configuring and "alternate GK" means the other one. The primary GK includes a field in the RCF to tell endpoints which alternate IP and gatekeeper identifier to use. But the alternate GK needs to know about every registration with the primary GK or else it would reject calls. Therefore our gatekeeper can forward every RRQ to an alternate IP address.
The AlternateGKs config option specifies the fields contained in the primary GK's RCF. The first and second fields of this string define where (IP, port) to forward to. The third tells endpoints whether they need to register with the alternate GK before placing calls. They usually don't because we forward their RRQs, so they get registered with the alternate GK, too. The fourth field specified the priority for this GK. Lower is better, usually the primary GK is considered to have priority 1. The last field specifies the alternate gatekeeper's identifier.
SendTo=1.2.3.4:1719
N/A
Although this information is contained in AlternateGKs, you must still specify which address to forward RRQs to. This might differ from AlternateGK's address, so it's a separate config option (think of multihomed machines).
SkipForwards=1.2.3.4:5.6.7.8
N/A
To avoid circular forwarding, you shouldn't forward RRQs you get from the other GK (this statement is true for both, primary and alternate GK). Two mechanisms are used to identify whether a request should be forwarded. The first one looks for a flag in RRQ. Since few endpoints implement this, we need a second, more reliable way. Specify the other gatekeeper's IP in this list.
StatusPort=7000
7000
Status port to monitor the gatekeeper. See this section for details.
Most users will never need to change any of the following values. They are mainly used for testing or very sophisticated applications.
UseBroadcastListener=0
1
Defines whether to listen to broadcast RAS requests. This requires binding to all interfaces on a machine so if you want to run multiple instances of gatekeepers on the same machine you should turn this off.
UnicastRasPort=1719
1719
The RAS channel TSAP identifier for unicast.
MulticastPort=1718
1718
The RAS channel TSAP identifier for multicast.
MulticastGroup=224.0.1.41
224.0.1.41
The multicast group for the RAS channel.
EndpointSignalPort=1720
1720
Default port for call signalling channel of endpoints.
ListenQueueLength=1024
1024
Queue length for incoming TCP connection.
SignalReadTimeout=1000
1000
Time in miliseconds for read timeout on status channel.
StatusReadTimeout=3000
3000
Time in miliseconds for read timeout on call signalling channels (Q931).
Call signalling messages may be passwd in two ways. The first method is Direct Endpoint Call Signalling, in which case the call signalling messages are passed directly between the endpoints. The second method is Gatekeeper Routed Call Signalling. In this method, the call signalling messages are routed through the gatekeeper between the endpoints. The choice of which methods is used is made by the gatekeeper.
When Gatekeeper Routed call signalling is used, the gatekeeper may choose whether to route the H.245 control channel and logical channels.
The gatekeeper doesn't route them. The H.245 control channel and logical channels are established directly between the endpoints.
The H.245 control channel is routed between the endpoints through the gatekeeper, while the logical channels are established directly between the endpoints.
The gatekeeper routes the H.245 control channel, as well as all logical channels, including RTP/RTCP for audio and video, and T.120 channel for data. In this case, no traffic is passed directly between the endpoints. This is usually called an H.323 Proxy, which can be regarded as an H.323-H.323 gateway.
This section defines the gatekeeper routed mode options (case I & II). The proxy feature is defined in the next section. All settings in this section are affected by reloading.
GKRouted=1
0
Whether to enable the gatekeeper routed mode.
H245Routed=1
0
Whether to route the H.245 control channel. Only takes effect if
GKRouted=1
.
CallSignalPort=0
1721
The port of call signalling for the gatekeeper. The default port is
1721
. We don't use the well-known port 1720
so you
can run an H.323 endpoint in the same machine of the gatekeeper. You may set
it to 0
to let the gatekeeper choose an arbitrary port.
CallSignalHandlerNumber=2
1
The number of call signalling handler. You may increase this number in a heavy loaded gatekeeper. The number can only be increased at runtime. If you have a SMP machine, you can set this number to your number of CPUs.
AcceptNeighborsCalls=1
1
With this feature enabled, the call signalling thread will accept calls without a pre-existing CallRec found in the CallTable, provided an endpoint corresponding to the destinationAddress in Setup can be found in the RegistrationTable, and the calling party is its neighbors or parent GK. The gatekeeper will also use it's own call signalling address in LCF in responding to an LRQ. That means, the call signalling will be routed to GK2 in GK-GK calls. As a result, the CDRs in GK2 can correctly show the connected time, instead of 'unconnected'.
AcceptUnregisteredCalls=1
0
With this feature enabled, the gatekeeper will accept calls from any unregistered endpoint. However, it raises security risks. Be careful to use it.
RemoveH245AddressOnTunneling=1
0
Some endpoints send h245Address in the UUIE of Q.931 even when h245Tunneling is set to TRUE. This may cause interoperability problems. If the option is TRUE, the gatekeeper will remove h245Address when h245Tunneling flag is TRUE. This enforces the remote party to stay in tunnelling mode.
RemoveCallOnDRQ=0
1
With this option turning off, the gatekeeper will not disconnect a call if it receives a DRQ for it. This avoids potential race conditions when a DRQ overtakes a Release Complete. This is only meaningful in routed mode because in direct mode, the only mechanism to signal end-of-call is a DRQ.
DropCallsByReleaseComplete=1
0
According to Recommendation H.323, the gatekeeper could tear down a call by sending RAS DisengageRequest to endpoints. However, some bad endpoints just ignore this command. With this option turning on, the gatekeeper will send Q.931 Release Complete instead of RAS DRQ to both endpoints to force them drop the call.
SendReleaseCompleteOnDRQ=1
0
On hangup, the endpoint sends both Release Complete within H.225/Q.931 and
DRQ within RAS. It may happen that DRQ is processed first, causing the
gatekeeper to close the call signalling channel, thus preventing the Release
Complete from being forwarding to the other endpoint. Though the gatekeeper
closes the TCP channel to the destination, some endpoints (e.g. Cisco
CallManager) don't drop the call even if the call signalling channel is
closed. This results in phones that keep ringing if the caller hangs up before
the callee pickups. Setting this parameter to 1
makes the
gatekeeper always send Release Complete to both endpoints before closing the
call when it receives DRQ from one of the parties.
SupportNATedEndpoints=1
0
Whether to allow an endpoint behind an NAT box register to the gatekeeper. If yes, the gatekeeper will translate the IP address in Q.931 and H.245 channel into the IP of NAT box.
Since 2.0.2, the GnuGK supports NAT outbound calls (from an endpoint behind NAT to public networks) directly without any necessary modification of endpoints or NAT box. Just register the endpoint with the GnuGK and you can make call now.
ScreenDisplayIE=MyID
N/A
Modify the DisplayIE of Q.931 to the specified value.
ScreenCallingPartyNumberIE=0965123456
N/A
Modify the CallingPartyNumberIE of Q.931 to the specified value.
Q931PortRange=20000-20999
0
(random)
Specify the range of TCP port number for Q.931 signalling channels. Note the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls.
H245PortRange=30000-30999
0
(random)
Specify the range of TCP port number for H.245 control channels. Note the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls.
The section defines the H.323 proxy features. It means the gatekeeper will route all the traffic between the calling and called endpoints, so there is no traffic between the two endpoints directly. Thus it is very useful if you have some endpoints using private IP behind an NAT box and some endpoints using public IP outside the box.
The gatekeeper can do proxy for logical channels of RTP/RTCP (audio and video) and T.120 (data). Logical channels opened by fast-connect procedures or H.245 tunnelling are also supported.
Note to make proxy work, the gatekeeper must have direct connection to both networks of the caller and callee.
Enable=1
0
Whether to enable the proxy function. You have to enable gatekeeper routed mode first (see the previous section). You don't have to specify H.245 routed. It will automatically be used if required.
InternalNetwork=10.0.1.0/24
N/A
Define the networks behind the proxy. Multiple internal networks are allow. The proxy route channels only of the communications between one endpoint in the internal network and one external. If you don't specify it, all calls will be proxied.
InternalNetwork=network address/netmask[,network
address/netmask,...]
The netmask can be expressed in decimal dot notation or CIDR notation (prefix length), as shown in the example.
InternalNetwork=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0,192.168.0.0/24
T120PortRange=40000-40999
0
(random)
Specify the range of TCP port number for T.120 data channels. Note the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls.
RTPPortRange=50000-59999
10000-59999
Specify the range of UDP port number for RTP/RTCP channels. Note the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls.
ProxyForNAT=1
1
If yes, the gatekeeper will proxy for calls to which one of the endpoints participated is behind an NAT box. This ensure the RTP/RTCP stream can penetrate into the NAT box without modifying it. However, the endpoint behind the NAT box must use the same port to send and receive RTP/RTCP stream. If you have bad or broken endpoints that don't satisfy the precondition, you have better to disable this feature and let the NAT box forward RTP/RTCP stream for you.
ProxyForSameNAT=0
0
Whether to proxy for calls between endpoints from the same NAT box. You do not need to enable this feature in general, since usually endpoints from the same NAT box can communicate with each other.
Define a number of rules who is allowed to connect to the status port.
rule=allow
forbid
Possible values are
forbid
- disallow any connection.
allow
- allow any connection
explicit
- reads the parameter ip=value
where
ip
is the IP address of the peering client, value
is 1,0
or allow,forbid
or yes,no
. If
ip
is not listed the parameter default
is used.
regex
- the IP of the client is matched against the given
regular expression.
To allow client from 195.71.129.0/24 and 195.71.131.0/24:
regex=^195\.71\.(129|131)\.[0-9]+$
password
- the user has to input appropriate username and
password to login. The format of username/password is the same as [Password] section.
Moreover, these rules can be combined by "|" or "&". For example,
rule=explicit | regex
explicit
or regex
rule.
rule=regex & password
regex
rule, and the user has to login by username and
password.default=allow
forbid
Only used when rule=explicit
.
This section lists what E.164 numbers are routed to a specific gateway.
gw-alias=prefix[,prefix,...]
Note you have to specify the alias of the gateway. If a gateway registered with the alias, all numbers beginning with the prefixes are routed to this gateway.
test-gw=02,03
This section defines the rewriting rules for dialedDigits (E.164 number).
[!]original-prefix=target-prefix[,target-prefix,...]
If the number is beginning with original-prefix
, it is
rewritten to target-prefix
. Multi targets are possible. If the
`!
' flag precedes the original-prefix
, the sense is
inverted.
08=18888
If you dial 08345718
, it is rewritten to
18888345718
.
Option:
Fastmatch=08
N/A
Only rewrite dialDigits beginning with the specified prefix.
In this section you can put endpoints that don't have RAS support or that you don't want to be expired. The records will always keep in registration table of the gatekeeper. However, You can still unregister it via status port.
IP[:port]=alias[,alias,...;prefix,prefix,...]
For gateway,
10.0.1.5=Citron;009,008
For terminal,
10.0.1.10:1720=700
If the destination of an ARQ is unknown, the gatekeeper sends LRQs to its
neighbors to ask if they have the destination endpoint. A neighbor is selected
if its prefix match the destination or it has prefix ``*
''.
Currently only one prefix is supported.
Conversely, the gatekeeper only reply LRQs sent from neighbors defined in this section. If you specify an empty prefix, no LRQ will be sent to that neighbor, but the gatekeeper will accept LRQs from it.
The password
field is used to authenticate LRQs from that
neighbor. See section [Gatekeeper::Auth] for
details.
GKID=ip[:port;prefix;password;dynamic]
GK1=192.168.0.5;*
GK2=10.0.1.1:1719;035;gk2
GK3=gk.citron.com.tw;;gk3;1
Defines some features of LRQ and LCF.
NeighborTimeout=1
2
Timeout value in seconds to wait responses from neighbors. If no response from all neighbors after timeout, the gatekeeper will reply an ARJ to the endpoint sending the ARQ.
ForwardHopCount=2
N/A
If the gatekeeper receives an LRQ that the destination is either unknown, it may forward this message to its neighbors. When the gatekeeper receives an LRQ and decides that the message should be forwarded on to another gatekeeeper, it first decrements hopCount field of the LRQ. If hopCount has reached 0, the gatekeeper shall not forward the message. This options defines the number of gatekeepers through which an LRQ may propagate. Note it only affects the sender of LRQ, not the forwarder.
AlwaysForwardLRQ=1
0
Force the gatekeeper to forward an LRQ even if there is no hopCount in the LRQ. To avoid LRQ loops, you should use this option very carefully.
IncludeDestinationInfoInLCF=0
1
The gatekeeper replies LCFs containing destinationInfo and destinationType fields, the aliases and terminal type of the destination endpoint. The neighbor gatekeeper can then save the information to suppress later LRQs. However, some vendors' gatekeepers misuse the information, thus result in interoperability problems. Only turn off this option if you encounter problems upon communicating with a third-party gatekeeper.
CiscoGKCompatible=1
0
Include a NonStandardParameter in LRQs to compatible with Cisco gatekeepers.
AcceptGatewayPrefixes=1
1
A gateway can register its prefixes with the gatekeeper by containing supportedPrefixes in the terminalType field of RRQ. This option defines whether to accept the specified prefixes of a gateway.
ArjReasonRouteCallToSCN=0
1
If yes, the gatekeeper rejects a call from a gateway to itself by reason routeCallToSCN.
ArjReasonRouteCallToGatekeeper=1
1
If yes, the gatekeeper rejects an answered ARQ without a pre-existing CallRec found in the CallTable by reason routeCallToGatekeeper in routed mode. The endpoint shall release the call immediately and re-send call Setup to the gatekeeper.
CallUnregisteredEndpoints=0
1
With this option set on, the gatekeeper will accept an ARQ from a registered endpoint with destCallSignalAddress, no matter the address is belongs to a registered endpoint or not. That means you can explicitly specify the IP of endpoint (registered or not) you want to call.
RemoveTrailingChar=#
N/A
Specify the trailing character to be removed in destinationInfo. For example, if your endpoint incorrectly contains the termination character like `#' in destinationInfo, you may remove it by this option.
GenerateNBCDR=0
1
Generate CDRs for calls from neighbor zones. The IP and endpoint ID of the calling party is printed as empty. This is usually used for debug purpose.
GenerateUCCDR=0
0
Generate CDRs for calls that are unconnected. This is usually used for debug purpose. Note a call is considered unconnected only if the gatekeeper uses routed mode and a Q.931 Connect message is not received by the gatekeeper. In direct mode, a call is always considered connected.
DefaultCallTimeout=3600
0
Default timeout value in seconds to tear down a call. Set it to
0
to disable this feature.
The gatekeeper can work as an endpoint by registering with another gatekeeper. With this feature, you can easily build gatekeeper hierarchies. The section defines the endpoint features for the gatekeeper.
Gatekeeper=10.0.1.1
no
Define a parent gatekeeper for the endpoint(gatekeeper) to register with.
Don't try to register with yourself, unless you want to be confusing. To
disable this feature, set the field to be no
.
Type=Gateway
Gateway
Define the terminal type for the endpoint. The valid values are
Gateway
or Terminal
.
H323ID=CitronProxy
<Name>
Specify the H.323 ID aliases for the endpoint. Multiple aliases can be separated by comma.
E164=18888600000,18888700000
N/A
Define the E.164 (dialedDigits) aliases for the endpoint. Multiple aliases can be separated by comma.
Password=123456
N/A
Specify a password to be sent to the parent gatekeeper. All RAS requests will contain the password in the cryptoTokens field. To send RAS requests without the cryptoTokens field, set the field to be empty.
Besides, the password is also used in LRQs sent to neighbor gatekeepers.
Prefix=188886,188887
N/A
Register the specified prefixes with the parent gatekeeper. Only takes
effect when the Type is Gateway
.
TimeToLive=900
N/A
Suggest a time-to-live value in second for the registration. Note that the real time-to-live timer is assigned by the parent gatekeeper in the RCF replied to the RRQ.
RRQRetryInterval=10
10
Define a retry interval in second for RRQs if no response received from the parent gatekeeper.
ARQTimeout=2
2
Define the timeout value in second for ARQs.
UnregisterOnReload=1
0
Defines whether the child gatekeeper unregisters and re-registers with it's parent when receiving a Reload command.
NATRetryInterval=60
60
Retry interval in second for NAT socket. Leave it out if you don't understand it.
NATKeepaliveInterval=86400
86400
Keepalive interval in second for NAT socket. Leave it out if you don't understand it.
Once you specify prefix(es) for your gatekeeper endpoint, the parent gatekeeper will route calls with dialedDigits beginning with that prefixes. The child gatekeeper can rewrite the destination according to the rules specified in this section. By contrast, when an internal endpoint calls an endpoint registered to the parent gatekeeper, the source will be rewritten reversely.
external prefix=internal prefix
For example, if you have the following configuration,
[Parent GK]
ID=CitronGK
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
[Child GK] [EP3]
ID=ProxyGK E164=18888200
Prefix=188886
/ \
/ \
/ \
[EP1] [EP2]
E164=601 E164=602
With this rule:
188886=6
When EP1 calls EP3 by 18888200
, the CallingPartyNumber in the
Q.931 Setup will be rewritten to 18888601
. Conversely, EP3 can
reach EP1 and EP2 by calling 18888601
and 18888602
,
respectively. In consequence, an endpoint registered to the child GK with prefix
'6
' will appear as an endpoint with prefix '188886
',
for endpoints registered to the parent gatekeeper.
The section does not relate to the section RasSrv::RewriteE164, though the later will take effect first.
The section defines the authentication mechanism for the gatekeeper.
authrule=actions
<authrule> := SimplePasswordAuth | AliasAuth | PrefixAuth | ...
<actions> := <control>[;<ras>,<ras>,...]
<control> := optional | required | sufficient
<ras> := GRQ | RRQ | URQ | ARQ | BRQ | DRQ | LRQ | IRQ
ok
- The request is authenticated by this module.
fail
- The authentication fails and should be rejected.
next
- The rule cannot determine the request.optional
- If the rule cannot determine the request, it is
passed to next rule.
required
- The requests should be authenticated by this
module, or it would be rejected. The authenticated request would then be
passwd to next rule.
sufficient
- If the request is authenticated, it is accepted,
or it would be rejected. That is, the rule determines the fate of the request.
No rule should be put after a sufficient rule, since it won't take
effect.Currently supported modules:
SimplePasswordAuth/MySQLPasswordAuth/LDAPPasswordAuth/ExternalPasswordAuth
These modules check the tokens or cryptoTokens fields of RAS
message. The tokens should contain at least generalID and password. For
cryptoTokens, cryptoEPPwdHash tokens hashed by simple MD5 and
nestedcryptoToken tokens hashed by HMAC-SHA1-96 (libssl must be
installed!) are supported now. The ID and password are read from [Password] section,
MySQL database, LDAP or an external program for
SimplePasswordAuth
, MySQLPasswordAuth
,
LDAPPasswordAuth
and ExternalPasswordAuth
modules,
respectively. Support for other backend databases is easily to add.
NeighborPasswordAuth
The module is used only to authenticate LRQs from neighbors defined in section [RasSrv::Neighbors].
AliasAuth/MySQLAliasAuth/LDAPAliasAuth
The module can only be used to authenticate RegistrationRequest (RRQ). The
IP of an endpoint with a given alias should match a specified pattern. For
AliasAuth
the pattern is defined in [RasSrv::RRQAuth]
section. For MySQLAliasAuth
, the pattern is retrieved from MySQL
database, defined in [MySQLAliasAuth]
section. For LDAPAliasAuth
the alias (default: mail attribute)
and IP (default: voIPIpAddress attribute) must be found in one LDAP entry.
PrefixAuth
Originally known as GkAuthorize
. The IP or aliases of a
request with a given prefix must match a specified pattern. See section [PrefixAuth] for
details. Currently the module can only authorize AdmissionRequest (ARQ) and
LocationRequest (LRQ).
You can also configure a rule to check only for some particular RAS messages.
The following example configures SimplePasswordAuth
as an optional
rule to check RRQ and ARQ. If an RRQ is not checked (not contains tokens
or cryptoTokens fields), it is checked by AliasAuth
. The
default is to accept all requests.
SimplePasswordAuth=optional;RRQ,ARQ
AliasAuth=sufficient;RRQ
default=allow
The section defines the userid and password pairs used by
SimplePasswordAuth
module. Use `make addpasswd
' to
generate the utility addpasswd
.
Usage:
addpasswd config userid password
Options:
KeyFilled=123
0
Default value to initialize the encryption key.
CkeckID=1
0
Check if the aliases match the ID in the tokens.
PasswordTimeout=120
-1
The module SimplePasswordAuth
and all its descendants will
cache an authenticated password. This field define the cache timeout value in
second. 0
means never cache the password, while a negative value
means the cache never expires.
Define the MySQL database, table and fileds to retrieve the userid and password.
Host=localhost
localhost
Host name or IP of the MySQL server.
Database=billing
billing
The database to connect.
User=cwhuang
Password=123456
The user name and password used to connect to the database.
Table=customer
The table in the database to query.
IDField=IPN
The field name of user id.
PasswordField=Password
The field name of password.
ExtraCriterion=Kind> 0
N/A
Specify extra criterion.
The SQL command will be issused:
SELECT $PasswordField FROM $Table WHERE $IDField = %id [AND $ExtraCriterion]
Specify an external program to retrieve the password. The program should accept ID from stdin and print the password to stdout.
PasswordProgram=/usr/local/bin/getpasswd
N/A
The executable of the external program.
Specify the action on RRQ reception (confirm or deny) for
AliasAuth
module. The first alias (this will mostly be an H323ID)
of the endpoint to register is looked up in this section. If a parameter is
found the value will apply as a rule. A rule consists of conditions separated by
"&". A registration is accepted when all conditions apply.
<authrules> := empty | <authrule> "&" <authrules>
<authrule> := <authtype> ":" <authparams>
<authtype> := "sigaddr" | "sigip"
<autparams> := [!&]*
The notation and meaning of <authparams>
depends on
<authtype>
:
sigaddr
- extended regular expression that has to match
agains the ``PrintOn(ostream)'' representation of the signal address of the
request.
Example:
sigaddr:.*ipAddress .* ip = .* c0 a8 e2 a5 .*port = 1720.*
sigip
- specialized form of `sigaddr
'. Write the
signalling ip adresse using (commonly used) decimal notation:
``byteA.byteB.byteC.byteD:port
''.
Example:
sigip:192.168.242.165:1720
allow
- always accept the alias.
deny
- always reject the alias.
Define the MySQL database, table and fileds to retrieve a pattern for an alias.
Host=localhost
localhost
Host name or IP of the MySQL server.
Database=billing
billing
The database to connect.
User=cwhuang
Password=123456
The user name and password used to connect to the database.
Table=customer
The table in the database to query.
IDField=IPN
The field name of user id.
IPField=Address
The field name of IP address.
ExtraCriterion=Kind> 0
N/A
Specify extra criterion.
The SQL command will be issused:
SELECT $IPField FROM $Table WHERE $IDField = %alias [AND $ExtraCriterion]
The section defines the authentication rule for PrefixAuth
module. Currently, only ARQs and LRQs can be authorized by this module.
First, a most specific prefix is selected according to the
destinationInfo field of the received request. Then the request is
accepted or rejected according to the matched rules with most specific netmask.
If no matched prefix is found, and the default
option is specified,
the request is accepted or rejected according to that. Otherwise it is rejected
or passed to next authentication module according to the module requirement.
prefix=authrule[|authrule|...]
<authrule> := <result> <authrule>
<result> := deny | allow
<authrule> := [!]ipv4:<iprule> | [!]alias:<aliasrule>
<iprule>
can be
specified in decimal dot notation or CIDR notation,
<aliasrule>
is expressed in regular expression. If the
`!
' flag precedes the rule, the sense is inverted.
555=deny ipv4:10.0.0.0/27|allow ipv4:0/0
5555=allow ipv4:192.168.1.1|deny ipv4:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
86=deny !ipv4:172.16.0.0/24
09=deny alias:^188884.*
ALL=allow ipv4:ALL
In this configuration, all endpoints except from network
10.0.0.0/27
are allow to call prefix 555 (except 5555). Endpoints
from 192.168.1.0/24
are not allowed to call prefix 5555, except
192.168.1.1
. Endpoints not from 172.16.0.0/24
are denied to call prefix 86. Endpoints having an alias beginning with 188884
are not allowed to call prefix 09. All other situations are allowed.
This section defines which LDAP attribute names to use.
H323ID
The endpoint's H.323 alias. Needs to be unique within the used LDAP tree (this i why we use the mail address by default).
TelephonNo
The endpoint's E.164 alias.
voIPIpAddress
The IP address to be compared against when using LDAPAliasAuth
For now, only a single value is allowed here.
H235PassWord
The plain text password to be compared against when using H.235
(LDAPPasswordAuth
in Gatekeeper::Auth). For now, only a single
value is allowed here.
This section defines the LDAP server and standard LDAP client operating parameters to be used.
ServerName
ldap
The LDAP server's DNS name.
ServerPort
389
The LDAP server's TCP port (usually 389).
SearchBaseDN
o=University of Michigan,
c=US
Entry point into the server's LDAP tree structure. Searches are only made below this root node.
BindUserDN
cn=Babs Jensen,o=University of
Michigan, c=US
The distinguished name the gatekeeper uses to bind to the LDAP server. Leave empty if you want to access the LDAP server anonymously.
BindUserPW
ReallySecretPassword
If you specified BindUserDN
, then specify the corresponding
password to be used for binding here.
sizelimit
0
Maximum number of results the server may return in response to a single search query. The gatekeeper expects each LDAP to only yields one or zero results anyway, so this parameter is rather useless.
timelimit
0
Maximum number of seconds a query may take until it's considered as "failed".
The Status Interface is the external interface for monitoring and controlling the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper will send out messages about ongoing calls to all connected clients and it can receive commands via this interface.
The interface is a simple TCP port (default: 7000), you can connect to with telnet or another client. One example of a different client is the Java GUI, aka GkGUI.
What you do with the powers of the Status Interface is up to you, but here are a few ideas:
See GkGUI.
Analyse the CDR messages and forward them to a billing application.
If you don't want to publish the source code to additinal features, just publish the core functionality and interface to it through the status interface and keep the external part private.
Suppose you are just interested in the CDRs (call details records) and want to process them as a batch at regular intervals.
Here is a simple Perl script (gnugk_cdr.pl
) that starts the
gatekeeper and also forks a very simple client for the Status Interface and
writes just the CDRs into a logfile.
#!/usr/bin/perl # sample program that demonstrates how to write the CDRs to a log file use strict; use IO::Socket; use IO::Handle; my $logfile = "/home/jan/cdr.log"; my $gk_host = "localhost"; my $gk_port = 7000; my $gk_pid; if ($gk_pid = fork()) { # parent will listen to gatekeeper status sleep(1); # wait for gk to start my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $gk_host, PeerPort => $gk_port, Proto => 'tcp'); if (!defined $sock) { die "Can't connect to gatekeeper at $gk_host:$gk_port"; } $SIG{HUP} = sub { kill 1, $gk_pid; }; # pass HUP to gatekeeper $SIG{INT} = sub { close (CDRFILE); kill 2, $gk_pid; }; # close file when terminated open (CDRFILE, ">>$logfile"); CDRFILE->autoflush(1); # don't buffer output while (!$sock->eof()) { my $msg = $sock->getline(); $msg = (split(/;/, $msg))[0]; # remove junk at end of line my $msgtype = (split(/\|/, $msg))[0]; if ($msgtype eq "CDR") { print CDRFILE "$msg\n"; } } close (CDRFILE); } else { # child starts gatekeeper exec("gnugk"); }
There are several Graphical User Interface (GUI) frontend for the gatekeeper.
Developed by Jan Willamowius. You can monitor the registrations and calls that go through the gatekeeper. A right-click on a button gives you a popup menu for that endpoint.
This GUI works with Java 1.0 built into most web browsers. For security reasons the GUI must be run as a standalone application or served by a web server on the same IP number as the gatekeeper (you cannot run it as an applet via a local file).
The program is available at http://www.gnugk.org/h323gui.html¡C
A new standalone Java program developed by Citron Network Inc. It requires Java 1.4. New features include:
The GkGUI is released under GNU General Public License, available at http://www.gnugk.org/h323develop.html#java¡C
