Web: Example for Configuring SIP Over TLS ALG

This section provides an example for configuring SIP over TLS ALG.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, a SIP server is deployed on the enterprise intranet. When going online, each SIP client needs to send a register message to the SIP servers. The register messages are carried through SIP.

To enhance security, TLS is required on the SIP clients and SIP server to encrypt SIP messages. The FW is deployed between the SIP clients and SIP server to encrypt SIP messages and implement NAT ALG.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring SIP over TLS ALG

Configuration Roadmap

Configure IP addresses for interfaces and assign the interfaces to security zones.
Configure a security policy for communication between SIP clients and the SIP server.
Import the server certificate and its private key to decrypt SSL-encrypted traffic and authenticate the server identity.
Configure an inbound detection profile.
Configure an SSL-encrypted traffic detection policy to decrypt TLS-encrypted SIP messages.
Configure destination NAT so that the intranet SIP server can provide services externally (public address: 1.1.1.10).
Configure ALG to properly forward SIP messages.

Procedure

Assign IP addresses to interfaces, and add the interfaces to security zones.
1. Choose Network > Interface.
2. In Interface List, click for the GigabitEthernet 0/0/1.
  Set parameters of GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 as follows. Keep default values for other parameters.
  
  Zone
  
  trust
  
  Mode
  
  Route
  
  IPv4
  
  Connection Type
  
  Static IP
  
  IP Address
  
  10.2.0.1/255.255.255.0
3. Repeat the previous operation and set interface parameters for GigabitEthernet 0/0/2.
  Set parameters of GigabitEthernet 0/0/2 as follows. Keep default values for other parameters.
  
  Zone
  
  untrust
  
  Mode
  
  Route
  
  IPv4
  
  Connection Type
  
  Static IP
  
  IP Address
  
  1.1.1.1/255.255.255.0
Configure a security policy to allow SIP clients to send messages to the SIP server.
Choose Policy > Security Policy > Security Policy, click Add Security Policy.
Import the server certificate and its private key to decrypt SSL-encrypted traffic and authenticate the server identity.
Ensure that the server certificate imported by the FW is the same as the server certificate loaded by the SIP server. Contact the SIP server administrator to obtain the server certificate and its private key.
1. Choose Object > Certificates > Local Certificates.
2. Click Upload, and upload the server certificate and private key of the SIP Server.
  The private key of the server certificate may be independent or included in the server certificate. If the private key of the server certificate is included in the server certificate, set the certificate format to PKCS12 Certificate/PEM Certificate with Key. If the private key of the server certificate is independent, set the certificate format to Certificate/PEM Certificate Without Key. The private key is a confidential file and a password is required when you export it. The password indicates the one used to encrypt the private key file.
Specify the imported server certificate and private key as Internal Server Certificate.
1. Choose Object > Certificates > SSL Decryption Certificate.
2. Select the Internal Server Certificate tab and click Add.
  Click the right arrowhead corresponding to the imported server certificate in the Available list box to move the server certificate to the Selected list box.
3. Click OK.
Configure an inbound detection profile to protect the SIP server.
1. Choose Policy > Encrypted Traffic Detection > Detection Profile.
2. Click Add, and configure detection profile parameters, as shown in the following figure.
Configure an SSL-encrypted traffic detection policy to decrypt TLS-encrypted SIP messages.
1. Choose Policy > Encrypted Traffic Detection > Detection Policy.
2. Click Add, and set the SSL-encrypted traffic detection policy to reference the new detection profile.
Configure destination NAT so that the intranet SIP server can provide services externally (public address: 1.1.1.10).
1. Choose Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy.
2. In NAT Policy List, click Add and configure a NAT policy based on the following parameters.
Configure ALG to properly forward SIP messages.
1. Choose Policy > ASPF Configuration.
2. Select SIP.

Verification

Client A and Client B register successfully on the server.
Choose Monitor > Session Table to view the session table. You can find to session entries with source address 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3 respectively and NAT destination address 1.1.1.10.
