	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		The Permissions module provides functions for handling
		IP based access control lists (ACL) in a number of ways.

		The Address permissions and Trusted request handling supports
		using a database to load ACLs into RAM for fast processing.
	</para>
	<section id="sec-call-routing">
		<title>Call Routing</title>
		<para>
		The module can be used to determine if a call has appropriate
		permission to be established. Permission rules are stored in
		plaintext configuration files similar to
		<filename moreinfo="none">hosts.allow</filename> and <filename
		moreinfo="none">hosts.deny</filename> files used by tcpd.
		</para>
		<para>
		When <function moreinfo="none">allow_routing</function> function is
		called it tries to find a rule that matches selected fields of the
		message.
		</para>
		<para>
		&kamailio; is a forking proxy and therefore a single message can be sent
		to different destinations simultaneously. When checking permissions
		all the destinations must be checked and if one of them fails, the
		forwarding will fail.
		</para>
		<para>
		The matching algorithm is as follows, first match wins:
		</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Create a set of pairs of form (From, R-URI of branch 1),
			(From, R-URI of branch 2), etc.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Routing will be allowed when all pairs match an entry in the
			allow file.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Otherwise routing will be denied when one of pairs matches an
			entry in the deny file.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Otherwise, routing will be allowed.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
		A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an
		empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing
		no permission control files.
		</para>
		<para>
		From header field and Request-URIs are always compared with regular
		expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
		<filename moreinfo="none">config/permissions.allow</filename>.
		</para>
	</section>
	<section id="sec-registration-permissions">
		<title>Registration Permissions</title>
		<para>
		In addition to call routing it is also possible to check REGISTER
		messages and decide--based on the configuration files--whether the
		message should be allowed and the registration accepted or not.
		</para>
		<para>
		Main purpose of the function is to prevent registration of "prohibited"
		IP addresses. One example, when a malicious user registers a contact
		containing IP address of a PSTN gateway, he might be able to bypass
		authorization checks performed by the SIP proxy. That is undesirable
		and therefore attempts to register IP address of a PSTN gateway should
		be rejected. Files <filename
		moreinfo="none">config/register.allow</filename> and <filename
		moreinfo="none">config/register.deny</filename> contain an example
		configuration.
		</para>
		<para>
		The function for registration checking is called <function
		moreinfo="none">allow_register</function> and the algorithm is very
		similar to the algorithm described in
		<xref linkend="sec-call-routing"/>. The only difference is in the way
		how pairs are created.
		</para>
		<para>
		Instead of the From header field the function uses the To header field because
		th To header field in REGISTER messages contains the URI of the person
		being registered. Instead of the Request-URI of branches the function
		uses the Contact header field.
		</para>
		<para>
		Thus, the pairs used in matching will look like this: (To, Contact 1),
		(To, Contact 2), (To, Contact 3), and so on..
		</para>
		<para>
		The algorithm of matching is the same as described in
		<xref linkend="sec-call-routing"/>.
		</para>
	</section>
	<section id="sec-uri-permissions">
		<title>URI Permissions</title>
		<para>
		The module can be used to determine if a request to a destination
		is allowed, based on an URI stored in a pvar. Permission rules are
		stored in plaintext configuration files similar to
		<filename moreinfo="none">hosts.allow</filename> and
		<filename moreinfo="none">hosts.deny</filename> used by tcpd.
		</para>
		<para>
		When the <function moreinfo="none">allow_uri</function>
		function is called, it tries to find a rule that matches
		selected fields of the message.
		The matching algorithm is as follows, where the first match wins:
		</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Create a pair &lt;From URI, URI stored in pvar&gt;.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Request will be allowed when the pair matches
			an entry in the allow file.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Request will be denied when the pair
			matches an entry in the	deny file.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			Otherwise, request will be allowed.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
		A non-existing permission control file is treated as if it were an
		empty file. Thus, permission control can be turned off by providing
		no permission control files.
		</para>
		<para>
		The From URI and the URI stored in pvar are always compared with regular
		expressions! For the syntax see the sample file:
		<filename moreinfo="none">config/permissions.allow</filename>.
		</para>
	</section>
	<section id="sec-address-permissions">
		<title>Address Permissions</title>
		<para>
		The module can be used to determine if an address (IP
		address and port or DNS domain name) matches any of the
		addresses stored in a cached &kamailio; database table.
		IP addresses in the database table can be subnet addresses.
		Port 0 in cached database table matches any port. The
		address and port to be matched can be either taken from
		the request (allow_source_address) or given as pvar
		arguments (allow_address).
		</para>
		<para>
		Addresses stored in the database table can be grouped
		together into one or more groups specified by a group
		identifier (positive integer value, i.e., equal or greater than 1).
		The group identifier is given as an argument to the allow_address() and
		allow_source_address() functions.
		One group can contain all of the three types of addresses: exact
		IP address, subnet IP address or DNS domain name.
		</para>
		<para>
		When the argument is an IP address, it is tried to be matched with the
		records from that group that are of type exact IP or subnet. If the
		argument is not an IP it is tried to be matched
		with the records that are DNS domain names. No DNS lookup is performed,
		only strict matching.
		</para>
		<para>
		As a side effect of matching the address, non-NULL tag
		(see tag_col module parameter) is added as value to
		peer_tag AVP if peer_tag_avp module parameter has been defined.
		</para>
	</section>
	<section id="sec-trusted-requests">
		<title>Trusted Requests</title>
		<para>
		The module can be used to determine if an incoming
		request can be trusted without authentication.
		</para>
		<para>
		When the <function moreinfo="none">allow_trusted</function>
		function is called, it tries to find a rule that matches
		the request.  Rules contain the following fields:
		&lt;source address, transport protocol, regular
		expression&gt;.
		</para>
		<para>
		A requests is accepted if there exists a rule, where
		</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			source address is equal to the source address of
			the request or the source address given in pvar,
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			transport protocol is either "ANY" or equal to
			the transport protocol of request or the transport
			protocol given in pvar, and
			</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
			<para>
			regular expression is either empty (NULL in
			database) or matches the From URI of request.
			</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
		Otherwise the request is rejected.
		</para>
		<para>
		As a side effect of accepting the request, the peer's
	non-NULL tag (see tag_col module parameter) is added as value to
	peer_tag AVP if the peer_tag_avp module parameter has been defined.
		</para>
		<para>
		Rules are stored in a database table specified by the module
		parameters.  There is a module parameter called
	        <varname>db_mode</varname> that
		determines if the rules are cached into memory for faster
		matching or if the database is consulted for each invocation
		of the allow_trusted() function call.
