RFC7616 and RFC8760 allow more than one WWW-Authenticate or
Proxy-Authenticate header per realm, each with different digest
algorithms (including new ones like SHA-256 and SHA-512-256).
Thankfully however a UAS can NOT send back multiple Authenticate
headers for the same realm with the same digest algorithm. The
UAS is also supposed to send the headers in order of preference
with the first one being the most preferred. We're supposed to
send an Authorization header for the first one we encounter for a
realm that we can support.
The UAS can also send multiple realms, especially when it's a
proxy that has forked the request in which case the proxy will
aggregate all of the Authenticate headers and then send them all
back to the UAC.
It doesn't stop there though... Each realm can require a
different username from the others. There's also nothing
preventing each digest algorithm from having a unique password
although I'm not sure if that adds any benefit.
So now... For each Authenticate header we encounter, we have to
determine if we support the digest algorithm and, if not, just
skip the header. We then have to find an auth object that
matches the realm AND the digest algorithm or find a wildcard
object that matches the digest algorithm. If we find one, we add
it to the results vector and read the next Authenticate header.
If the next header is for the same realm AND we already added an
auth object for that realm, we skip the header. Otherwise we
repeat the process for the next header.
In the end, we'll have accumulated a list of credentials we can
pass to pjproject that it can use to add Authentication headers
to a request.
NOTE: Neither we nor pjproject can currently handle digest
algorithms other than MD5. We don't even have a place for it in
the ast_sip_auth object. For this reason, we just skip processing
any Authenticate header that's not MD5. When we support the
others, we'll move the check into the loop that searches the
objects.
Changes:
* Added a new API ast_sip_retrieve_auths_vector() that takes in
a vector of auth ids (usually supplied on a call to
ast_sip_create_request_with_auth()) and populates another
vector with the actual objects.
* Refactored res_pjsip_outbound_authenticator_digest to handle
multiple Authenticate headers and set the stage for handling
additional digest algorithms.
* Added a pjproject patch that allows them to ignore digest
algorithms they don't support. This patch has already been
merged upstream.
* Updated documentation for auth objects in the XML and
in pjsip.conf.sample.
* Although res_pjsip_authenticator_digest isn't affected
by this change, some debugging and a testsuite AMI event
was added to facilitate testing.
Discovered during OpenSIPit 2021.
