1.1 Features

1.2 Components

• Nginx (http://nginx.com/)
– NGINX accelerates content and application delivery, improves security, facilitates avail-
ability and scalability for the busiest web sites on the Internet.
• PHP (http://php.net/)
– PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source
general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can
be embedded into HTML.
• Lua (http://lua.org/)
– Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports pro-
cedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven
programming, and data description.
• MySQL (https://www.mysql.com/)
– MySQL is a freely available open source Relational Database Management System
(RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL). SQL is the most popular language
for adding, accessing and managing content in a database. It is most noted for its quick
processing, proven reliability, ease and flexibility of use.
• FreeSwitch (https://freeswitch.org/)

2.Write or improve our project documentation : Which is me :)
3.Become a translator : If you have good command over other language then here is one more options for you to
become a translator for documentation or portal labels.
4.Suggest a feature : If you have an idea you feel could improve the project, you can suggest us.
5.Help with design : If you have a talent for design, why not offer to help design the project’s website or logo? If you
fancy a bigger challenge, you could volunteer to give the project’s user interface a makeover.
6.Donate by money : You can contribute to survive project, speed project development and to encourage team.
Donation paypal id is [email protected].
7.Build a community : As we are an open source, to survive it needs to become the center of a large, engaged
community. Community means more people to discover and report issues, suggest new features, and generally help
to spread the word. There’s lots of ways you can help to grow a project’s community, but a few popular methods are
writing blogs and tutorials, promoting the project on social networks, and becoming active on its mailing list and/or
forums, particularly when it involves answering questions newcomers have about the project.

Security

Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention system that works by scanning log files and then taking action based on the entries
in those logs.
You can configure Fail2Ban in a way that will update iptables firewall rules, when an authentication failure threshold
is reached which helps in preventing SIP brute force attacks against FS instances.
Fail2Ban scans your freeswitch log file and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules
to reject the IP address.
Fail2Ban is available at fail2ban.org as well as more documentation.

3.1 Apache Authentication

Apache authentication can be configured to require web site visitors to login with a user and password.
We protect cgi-bin apache directory which contains important perl scripts for dialplan, configurations and directory.
Step # 1: Make sure Apache is configured to use .htaccess file
You need to have "AllowOverride AuthConfig" directive in apache configuration file in
˓→order for directives to have

any effect.

For CentOS
vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Save the file and restart Apache

19
ASTPP Documentation, Release latest

# service httpd restart

For Debian
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Save the file and restart Apache

# service apache2 restart

Step # 2: Create a password file with htpasswd

htpasswd command is used to create and update the flat-files (text file) used to
˓→store usernames and password for

basic authentication of Apache users.General syntax: htpasswd -c password-file

˓→username

Where,
-c : Create the password-file. If password-file already exists, it is
˓→rewritten and truncated.

username : The username to create or update in password-file. If

˓→username does not

exist in this file, an entry is added. If it does exist, the password is

˓→changed.

Create directory outside apache document root, so that only Apache can access
˓→password file. The password-file should

be placed somewhere not accessible from the web. This is so that people cannot
˓→download the password file:

# mkdir -p /home/secure/
Add new user called astpp
# htpasswd -c /home/secure/apasswords astpp
New password:
Re-type new password:
allow apache user apache to read password file:

For CentOS
# chown apache:apache /home/secure/apasswords
# chmod 0660 /home/secure/apasswords

For Debian
# chown www-data:www-data /home/secure/apasswords
# chmod 0660 /home/secure/apasswords

Now user astpp is added but you need to configure the Apache web server to request a
˓→password and tell the server

which users are allowed access.We have directory /var/www/cgi-bin and we would like
˓→to protect it with a password.

For CentOS
# cd /var/www/cgi-bin
# vim .htaccess
For Debian

20 Chapter 3. Security
 ASTPP Documentation, Release latest

# cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin
# vim .htaccess
Add following text:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
AuthUserFile /home/secure/apasswords
Require user astpp

Now add username and password to following files:

# vim /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/xml_curl.conf.xml
<!-- set this to provide authentication credentials to the server →
<param name="gateway-credentials" value="astpp:your_password"/>

# vim /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/xml_cdr.conf.xm
<!-- optional: credentials to send to web server -->
<param name="cred" value="astpp:your_paasword"/>

Now restart freeswitch

# service freeswitch restart

You can test it by running below url in browser

http://localhost/cgi-bin/astpp/astpp-fs-xml.cgi
You will be asked for username and password for authentication.

3.2 Secure Freeswitch

Change Event Socket credential

# vim /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml
<param name=”password” value=”your_password”/>
Restart freeswitch service #service freeswitch restart

Set FreeSwitch Event Socket credential in UI

1. Login to ASTPP portal and Open Switch -> Freeswitch Server page.
2. Edit configured FreeSwitch settings to new credential which you just configured in event socket file.

3.3 Secure Portal

Steps : 1. Login to ASTPP portal

2. Open Accounts -> Admins page
3. Set strong password for admin

Note: Always use strong passwords to keep system secure.
