tcp_accept_aliases should work if you trust the other side. But do not accept aliases from untrusted nodes (e.g. SIP phones)

Thank's for reply klaus

you are correct when said "Unless you have s strange setup with strange
requirements", but I was reading RFC 5923 to try solve my strange
requirements and found some benefits to forcing all messages into a
single TLS connection.

I have included the flag *"tcp_accept_aliases = yes"* on kamailio.cfg
and now if kamailio received a message with the parameter "aliases" at
header Via, all messages will be forced into a single TLS connection
with SIP server. I'm testing this config yet.

        Hi all,

        There is the possibility to kamailio reuse the TLS connection
        created by
        other SIP server?  When kamailio use t_relay function to send a SIP
        request message to other server, kamailio verify if already
        exist some
        connection established with the destiny and use it even if this
        connection was created by the other SIP server.

        In short, I want to keep only one connection between kamailio
        and SIP
        server. Sometimes kamailio will be a client and others a server.


    This is quite difficult. For example, on a server with a single IP
    address may run several SIP proxy instances with different purposes.
    Each of these proxies uses another listening port, e.g: 1.1.1.1:5061
    <http://1.1.1.1:5061>, 1.1.1.1:6061 <http://1.1.1.1:6061>,
    1.1.1.1:7061 <http://1.1.1.1:7061>.

    If on of these proxies establish a TCP connection to another proxy,
    e.g. 2.2.2.2:5061 <http://2.2.2.2:5061>, it uses an ephemeral
    source-port. Thus, for the TLS-server (the receiver of the TLS
    connection) there is no way to know which of these SIP proxies on
    1.1.1.1 established the connection. There are lots more issues e.g.
    with certificate validation - a proxy may use various certificates
    for several domains. Maybe you can overcome these problems if all
    the proxies are controlled by you, but in an open environment this
    kind of connection reuse does not work.

    Thus: connection reuse can only be used for transactions in the same
    direction with the same target domain. For example if you have a
    proxy at 1.1.1.1:5061 <http://1.1.1.1:5061> authoritative for
    a.example.com <http://a.example.com> and b.example.com
    <http://b.example.com> and you have a proxy at 2.2.2.2:5061
    <http://2.2.2.2:5061> authoritative for y.example.com
    <http://y.example.com> and z.example.com <http://z.example.com> then
    you will end up with 4 TLS connections:

    1. 1.1.1.1 as TLS client to a.example.com <http://a.example.com>
    2. 1.1.1.1 as TLS client to b.example.com <http://b.example.com>
    3. 2.2.2.2 as TLS client to y.example.com <http://y.example.com>
    4. 2.2.2.2 as TLS client to z.example.com <http://z.example.com>

    Unless you have s strange setup with strange requirements I do not
    see any benefit in forcing all messages into a single TLS connection.

    regards
    Klaus
