# Admin Guide

## Overview

This module aims to implement several sanity checks on incoming requests which are suggested or even required by a RFC, but are not available yet in the core of &kamailio;.

These checks are not required by &kamailio; itself for its functionality. But on the other side it does not make much sense if a broken request traverses through a SIP network if it is rejected sooner or later by a SIP device any way. As every sanity check cost extra performance because of additional parsing and evaluation it is with this module now up to the &kamailio; administrator what checks should be done on which request.

The following checks are available:

- ruri sip version - (1) - checks if the SIP version in the request URI is supported, currently only 2.0.

- ruri scheme - (2) - checks if the URI scheme of the request URI is supported (sip[s]|tel[s]) by &kamailio;

- required headers - (4) -checks if the minimum set of required headers To, From, CSeq, Call-ID and Via is present in the request.

- via sip version - (8) - disabled.

- via protocol - (16) - disabled.

- Cseq method - (32) - checks if the method from the CSeq header is equal to the request method.

- Cseq value - (64) - checks if the number in the CSeq header is a valid unsigned integer.

- content length - (128) - checks if the size of the body matches with the value from the Content-Length header.

- expires value - (256) - checks if the value of the Expires header is a valid unsigned integer.

- proxy require - (512) - checks if all items of the Proxy-Require header are present in the list of the extensions from the module parameter proxy_require.

- parse uri's - (1024) - checks if the specified URIs are present and parseable by the &kamailio; parsers

- digest credentials (2048) - Check all instances of digest credentials in a message. The test checks whether there are all required digest parameters and that they have meaningful values. NOTE: the message will be considered invalid if the authorization scheme differs from "digest",

- duplicated To/From tags (4096) - checks for the presence of duplicated tags in To/From headers.

- Authorization header (8192) - checks if the Authorization header is valid if the scheme is "digest" (see "digest credentials" above), always returns success for other schemes.

- first via header (16384) - checks if the first Via header is available, can be parsed and has an address value.

## Dependencies

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

- sl - Stateless replies.

## Parameters

### `default_checks` (integer)

This parameter determines which of the checks from the sanity module are executed if no parameter was given to the `sanity_check` function call. By default all implemented checks are included in the execution of the `sanity_check` function. The integer value is the sum of the check numbers which should be executed by default.

Default value is 3047. This resolves to the following list of checks: ruri_sip_version (1), ruri_scheme (2), required_headers (4), cseq_method (32), cseq_value (64), content_length (128), expires_value (256), proxy_require (512), digest credentials (2048).

#### Set `default_checks` parameter

    ...
    modparam("sanity", "default_checks", 1)
    ...

### `uri_checks` (integer)

This parameter determines which URIs are going to be checked if the 'parse uri' will be executed.

Default value is 7. This resolves to the following list of parsed URIs: Request URI (1), From URI (2) and To URI (4). Additionally the Contact URI can be also checked (8).

#### Set `uri_checks` parameter

    ...
    modparam("sanity", "uri_checks", 3)
    ...

### `proxy_require` (string)

This parameter sets the list of supported SIP extensions for this &kamailio;. The value is expected as a comma separated list (leading and trailing whitespaces are stripped from each token) of extensions. This list is separated into single tokens. Each token from a proxy require header will be compared with the tokens from this list.

#### Set `proxy_require` parameter

    ...
    modparam("sanity", "proxy_require", "foo, bar")
    ...

### `autodrop` (integer)

This parameter controls whether the module drops the SIP message automatically if the sanity checks fail. Default value is 1 (auto drop). If set to 0, sanity_check() function will return -1 (false) to configuration file, allowing to write log messages for example - be sure you exit execution of config without sending a SIP reply because it is sent by module itself.

#### Set `autodrop` parameter

    ...
    modparam("sanity", "autodrop", 1)
    ...

### `noreply` (int)

If set to 1, then the module does not send a SIP reply internally in case there is an error detected when performing the sanity checks. There is the option to send the reply from config file with functions from sl or tm module as well as sanity_reply() from this module.

Default value: 0.

#### Set `noreply` parameter

    ...
    modparam("sanity", "noreply", 1)
    ...

## Functions

### `sanity_check([msg_checks [, uri_checks]])`

This function makes a row of sanity checks over the given SIP request. The behavior of the function is also controlled by `autodrop` parameter. If autodrop=0, the function returns false (-1) if one of the checks failed. When autodrop=1, the function stops the execution of configuration file. In both cases, if one of the checks fails the module sends a precise error reply via SL `send_reply()`. Thus there is no need to reply with a generic error message.

The parameters can be static integers or variables holding integer values.

#### `sanity_check` usage

    ...
    if (!sanity_check()) {
    	exit;
    }
    ...

Optionally the function takes an integer argument which overwrites the global module parameter `default_checks`. This makes it possible to run certain tests from script regions. The integer value is again the sum of the checks (like for the module parameter) which should be executed at this function call.

#### `sanity_check` usage with parameter

    ...
    if (method=="REGISTER" && !sanity_check("256")) {
    	/* the register contains an invalid expires value and is replied with a 400 */
    	exit;
    }
    ...

Optionally the function takes a second integer argument which overwrites the global module parameter uri_checks and thus determines which URIs will be checked if the parse uri test will be executed.

#### `sanity_check` usage with two parameters

    ...
    if (method=="INVITE" && !sanity_check("1024", "6")) {
    	/* the INVITE contains an invalid From or To header and is replied with a 400 */
    	exit;
    }
    ...

### `sanity_reply()`

Send a SIP reply using the code and reason text set internally by the module when detecting errors while performing the sanity checks. It is done only when parameter noreply is set to 1.

#### `sanity_reply` usage

    ...
    if(!sanity_check("1024", "6")) {
       xdbg("sanity checks failed\n");
       sanity_reply();
       exit;
    }
    ...
