Hello,

My goal is to have dynamic (through CURL XML) defined users AND gateways; to be able to accept incoming calls from gateways, having those calls authenticated as the user that the gateway belongs to, and to be able to send outgoing calls to those gateways.

Below is detailed description of my testing setup which works with static configuration and does not work with dynamic configuration. Kindly asking for advice!


I have configuration in which ACL “domains” is defined as:
acl.conf:
<configuration name="acl.conf" description="Network Lists">
  <network-lists>

    <list name="domains" default="deny">
        <node type="allow" domain="$${domain}"/>
    </list>

  </network-lists>
</configuration>



It is used to allow and accept calls from specific IPs without authentication, having those IPs matched to users. Sofia profile (important part of it):
<param name="apply-inbound-acl" value="domains”/>
<param name="auth-calls" value="false"/>




Matching is done by parameter “cidr” in user definition. According to the documentation each user “cidr” is added to the above list.
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3965687
domain
Scans the user definitions of the specified domain from the directory, and if your domain's users have cidr attributes, the ACL will be automatically built.

Example usage:

<node type="allow" domain="$${domain}"/>


Those gateway IPs are defined using <gateway> configurations and are currently visible in the CLI:
freeswitch@zz-freeswitch-test> sofia status
                     Name   Type                                      Data State
=================================================================================================
            authenticated profile         sip:mod_sofia@194.153.118.45:5060 RUNNING (0)
                   trunks profile         sip:mod_sofia@194.153.118.45:5070 RUNNING (0)

=================================================================================================
2 profiles 0 aliases




When I define users in static XML files, then incoming calls are properly authenticated (this is file that is included in the directory xml files):
User definition:
<include>
    <user id="1347a7ad-ff67-11eb-9528-9a306e6cb08d" cidr="194.153.118.28/32,194.153.118.34/32">
        <params>
            <param name="a1-hash" value="97f2bba16d30623aa245353ff8ae2513"/>
            <param name="auth-acl" value="195.230.3.104/32"/>
        </params>
        <variables>
            <variable name="accountcode" value="1347a7ad-ff67-11eb-9528-9a306e6cb08d"/>
            <variable name="user_context" value="context_1"/>
        </variables>
    </user>
</include>

When I define those using CURL XML (returning the same content as the static file, this is XML response) user is able to successfully register:

                        <user id="1347a7ad-ff67-11eb-9528-9a306e6cb08d" cidr="194.153.118.28/32,194.153.118.34/32">

                            </variables>

                    </users>
                </group>
            </groups>

        </domain>
    </section>
</document>


But then incoming calls are not authenticated /please note “cidr” parameter in user definition/:

Digging this for a few days, came to conclusion that the ACL “domains” is not properly updated when a user registers.
