Hi everybody,

I want to test openser 0.10.x and its TLS capabilities. Therefore I plan to install two proxies, sip.atlanta.com and sip.biloxi.com. Two users, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sip.biloxi.com, should communicate over the two proxies secured by TLS. The UAs are snom360 phones.

------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | <-------> | sip.atlanta.com | <-------> | sip.biloxi.com | <-------> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ------------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------

Mutual authentication should take place between the UAC and the outbound proxy, the two proxies and between the inbound proxy and the UAS. The problem is that I am not sure about the organisation of the certificate's infrastructure. I don't know which would be the best solution to implement.
So please look at my suggestions and feel free to you make your comments.

1.. user certificate for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2.. server certificate for sip.atlanta.com
3.. server certificate for sip.biloxi.com
4.. user certificate for bob.biloxi.com
The root certificate is self signed (Does this work with openser?)


a.) One common CA (=root) signs all components.

         -----------
        |    CA     |
         -----------
        /  /  \  \
       /  /    \  \
      /   |    |   \
    ---  ---  ---  ---
    |1|  |2|  |3|  |4|
    ---  ---  ---  ---

b.) Tow separate CAs (= each one's root) sign their proxy and UA. Mutual import 
of the other domains root certificate takes place.

    -----        -----
   |CA A |      |CA B |
    -----        -----
    /   \        /   \
   ---  ---     ---  ---
   |1|  |2|     |3|  |4|
   ---  ---     ---  ---

c.) One common root signs two CAs which sign their proxy and UA.

         -----------
        | root-cert |
         -----------
        /        \
       /          \
    -----        -----
   |CA A |      |CA B |
    -----        -----
    /   \        /   \
   ---  ---     ---  ---
   |1|  |2|     |3|  |4|
   ---  ---     ---  ---


Thank you very much for your help!

regards,
Philipp
