1. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway
Overview
Overview
NATs and firewalls break end-to-end connectivity for VoIP, video conferencing, and unified
communications. AnyConnect™ Gateway is an enterprise session border controller (E-SBC) based on
SIP, STUN, TURN, and ICE, which works with firewalls to enable enterprises to securely use and manage
VoIP, video conferencing, and unified communications on any network, through any firewall or NAT, and
to any device.
AnyFirewall ™ Technology is the world's most widely deployed NAT and firewall traversal technology,
having been deployed to more than 20 million subscribers by licensees including Comcast, Digital
Lifeboat, Fujifilm, Intel, Maxis, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks, Polycom, Research in Motion, Smartvue,
and more.
AnyConnect Gateway can be deployed with AnyFirewall Engine and AnyFirewall Server for an end-to-end
firewall and NAT traversal solution, or can be combined with third party, standards-based products.
Network Security
AnyConnect Gateway protects enterprise networks from attacks with topology hiding and provides secure
delivery of SIP, VoIP, and video conferencing services. AnyConnect Gateway supports TLS encryption
for secure SIP signaling and SRTP encryption and VPN connections for secure data transport with
confidentiality, message authentication, and replay protection. Together these protocols protect VoIP,
video conferencing, and unified communications from eavesdroppers, hackers and spoofers.
SIP Trunking
Many ITSPs (Internet Telephony Service Providers) offer SIP trunks - combined Internet and VoIP
connections that provide a flexible and low-cost alternative for connecting VoIP, video conferencing, and
unified communications systems to service provider networks. AnyConnect Gateway offers a broad range
of features for the deployment of SIP trunks in enterprise networks.
AnyConnect Gateway terminates SIP trunks, connects VoIP, video conferencing, and unified
communications systems, secures access to hosted and cloud-based services, and enables
communications with remote workers.

Guaranteed Firewall and NAT Traversal
AnyConnect Gateway includes Eyeball's patented AnyFirewall Technology to guarantee 100% call
completion over any fixed or mobile network and through any NAT or firewall.
Supported Platforms
AnyConnect Gateway supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS.
Architecture
AnyConnect Gateway consists of two components: an edge server component and a state server
component. Clients connect only to edge servers; state servers are internal servers and should not be
accessible directly. Edge servers and state servers communicate with each other and with the database.
The edge server component handles the signaling and media traffic and the state server serves as in-
memory cache for dynamic information about user and call status.
In the simplest possible configuration, one edge and one state server are required and both server
components can run on the same machine. In addition, both server components of the AnyConnect
Gateway interface with a database to obtain user information (used for authentication, etc.) and to
perform user activity registration. In addition, each server component uses the database to obtain the
status and location of the other server components (edge and state) forming the AnyConnect Gateway.
AnyConnect Gateway supports ODBC as database interface, which means any database with an ODBC
driver can be used.
Load Balancing and Fault Tolerance
Multiple AnyConnect Gateway edge and state server instances can be clustered to support load
balancing and fault tolerance. After being started, new edge or state servers are automatically integrated
into the existing AnyConnect Gateway infrastructure without additional configuration requirement or
interruption of the service. Once the new server is started, it can immediately process requests from
clients (edge server) or will take load off the already existing server components (state server). In the
same manner, it is possible to dynamically take out single servers, e.g., for maintenance reasons. This
will not lead to an interruption of the entire service; the remaining server components will take over the
load from the server that was removed.

System Requirements
System Requirements
AnyConnect Gateway has been certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 and CentOS 5 and 6.
Eyeball Networks does not guarantee correct operation other than on the certified distributions.
AnyConnect Gateway has been tested using unixODBC, which is freely available from
http://www.unixodbc.org/. AnyConnect Gateway may be configured to use more than one ODBC data
source for fault tolerance and load balancing purposes. In this case, AnyConnect Gateway will randomly
connect to one of the data sources and automatically switch in case of failures.

Installation
Installation
The AnyConnect Gateway package contains the binaries of both edge and state server components (
acgd and stated) and the necessary scripts, tools and documentation to install AnyConnect Gateway.
A valid license file (obtained from Eyeball Networks) is required to start each edge server ( acgd). State
servers do not require access to a license file.
For details on installation and setup, please refer to the INSTALL file found in the root directory of the
AnyConnect Gateway package. This file contains a description of the installation and initial configuration
of the server components.

4.1. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway:
Configuration Files
Configuration Files
The configuration files, acgd.conf and stated.conf, are required to run AnyConnect Gateway.
In order for the server to access the configuration file, it must be readable by the owner of the server
process. If not specified by –c command line argument, both server processes will look for their
configuration files in the /etc system directory.
acgd.conf
In the succeeding sections, we give detailed descriptions of the configuration parameters for acgd. Most
of the values should not be changed. The following parameters are available, starting with the parameters
that must be changed in order to get the server running.

Network Configuration
Network Configuration
Parameters Description
bind_address
(Must be changed)
Specify this numeric IP address to bind the service to a specific local
interface or to any local interfaces. A system may have more than one
network interface. Use ifconfig command to get a list of available
interfaces. If a specific interface is given, the server will allow connection
only through that interface. If this IP address differs from the one specified
in public_address, it will be used as the internal interface address of
AnyConnect Gateway.
private_address
(No need to be changed)
This numeric IP address will be used to communicate with the state
server and other SIP Edge Proxy Servers. The administration port used to
access the command line interface will also listen on this address. If this
field is not specified, it will default to the bind address. In order to separate
the internal from the external SIP network, internal clients should connect
to the private address and external clients should connect to the public
address.
public_address
This numeric IP address will be put in Via headers in SIP messages. If
this field is not specified, it will default to the value of bind_address. In
order to separate the internal from the external SIP network, internal
clients should connect to the private address and external clients should
connect to the public address.
sip_port
Specifies the port where the AnyConnect Gateway listens to SIP UDP and
TCP client requests. By default, the SIP port is set to 5060. Clients send
messages to this port. Since clients initiate the connection to the server,
you must make sure that clients can reach this port. This can be done by
running the server outside a firewall, opening this port on the firewall, etc.

sip_tcp_port
(Should be changed)
Specifies the port where the AnyConnect Gateway listens to SIP TCP
client requests. This is usually set as the TCP port 443 for HTTP tunneling
and TCP port 80. Clients can send messages to this port. Since clients
initiate the connection to the server, you must make sure that clients can
reach this port. This can be done by running the server outside a firewall,
opening this port on the firewall, etc.
sip_tls_port
(Should be changed)
Specifies the port where the AnyConnect Gateway listens to TLS client
requests. This is usually set as the default SIP TLS port 5061. If this is not
set or is set to 0, no TLS port will be opened for client requests. Clients
can send messages to this port. Since clients initiate the connection to the
server, you must make sure that clients can reach this port. This can be
done by running the server outside a firewall, opening this port on the
firewall, etc. Once this parameter is given, the TLS subsystem must be
configured using the other TLS related parameters in the configuration
file. By default, the TLS port is not set. Please refer to Section 7.
xmpp_server_port
Specifies the port where the AnyConnect Gateway listens to TCP server-
to-server connection requests, e.g. by Google Talk. By default, the value
for this port is set to 5269.
domain_name
(Must be changed)
This is the SIP domain used by AnyConnect Gateway. If an incoming SIP
message is addressed to a different domain, the message is forwarded. If
an incoming SIP message is addressed to this domain, it is processed.
No default value provided. You must configure this parameter. For
simplicity, you may use the IP address of the server as the domain. This
parameter takes a string value.
forward_udp_port
This UDP port defaults to 7021. It is used to receive UDP packets
forwarded from other AnyConnect Gateway servers within the distributed
server.
forward_tcp_port
This TCP port defaults to 7020. It is used to receive TCP packets
forwarded from other AnyConnect Gateway servers within the distributed
server.
tcp_connections
This defines the maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections that
the server will accept. This parameter can be used to limit the allowed
number of incoming TCP connections. By default, the maximum number
of TCP connections is 90,000.

tls_connections
This defines the maximum number of simultaneous TLS connections that
the server will accept. This parameter can be used to limit the allowed
number of incoming TLS connections. By default, the number of TLS
connections is 90,000.
tcp_connection_timeout
This defines the duration (in seconds) for which TCP/TLS connections are
kept open without any messages being sent or received. By default, there
is no connection timeout, i.e., TCP connections are kept open.
tcp_sendbuffer_size
Specify to change the TCP send buffer size. The default is 10,240 bytes
(10 KB).
recvbuffer_size
Specify to change the TCP receive buffer size. The default is 133,072
bytes (128 KB).
num_threads
Specify the number of worker threads. The default is 16.

XMPP Server to Server Communication
(required for peering with Google Talk)
XMPP Server to Server Communication
(required for peering with Google Talk)
Parameter Description
server_to_server
(May be changed)
Enable or disable server-to-server communications. Set this to “Y” to enable
and “N” to disable. By default, server-to-server communications is disabled.
allow_all_domains
(May be changed)
When server-to-server communications is enabled, set to “Y” to allow servers
of all domains to communicate. If this is set to “N”, communication will only be
allowed for domains specified in the XmppPeerDomains database table. By
default, this is set to “N”.
server_require_sasl
(May be changed)
Incoming server-to-server streams require SASL if this is set to “Y”. If this
option and server_require_tls is set to “N”, server dialback will also be
available for those streams as an authentication option. By default, this is set
to “N”. If this is set to “N”, SASL can be required for specific domains by
setting the IncomingRequireSASL column in the XmppPeerDomains table to
“Y”.
server_require_tls
(May be changed)
Incoming server-to-server streams require TLS if this is set to “Y”. If this option
and server_require_sasl is set to “N”, server dialback will also be available for
those streams as an authentication option. By default, this is set to “N”.

4.4. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: SIP
Behaviour
SIP Behaviour
max_sip_message_size
This defines the maximum size in bytes of SIP messages accepted by the
server. The server discards messages longer than this value. If this
parameter is omitted, the default value is 65536.
register_challenge
If this parameter is set to “yes”, server will challenge for authentication
(WWW Digest) when it receives a SIP REGISTER message. Setting this
parameter to “no” allows any client/user to register to the server. The default
setting is yes.
proxy_challenge
If this parameter is set to “yes”, server will use proxy authentication
whenever applicable, such as when a SIP INVITE message is received. The
default setting is yes.
stat_reg_timeout
Users that have registered will be removed for statistical purposes after this
timeout. It defaults to 7200 seconds (two hours). Users that have been
registered for more than this time, but have neither re-registered nor logged
out, will be expired and removed from the count of online users. Their
registration will also be added to the SipLoginsHistory table.
stat_calls_timeout
Established calls will be removed for statistical purposes after this timeout. It
defaults to 1,209,600 seconds (two weeks). Calls that are started but not
ended within this time will be added to the CallsHistory table.

Administration

Scalability
Scalability
Introduction
AnyConnect Gateway uses a two layer server architecture with edge servers handling the actual SIP
protocol and media traffic and state server serving as in memory cache for status information and
interface to a database for persistent storage. For example, state servers store information about user
locations, i.e. the actual edge server a SIP user is connected to.
In order to add a new AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server to a cluster of servers, the only requirement is
to setup a new acgd process on a new computer and configure it to connect to the main database using
the database_host parameter in the new edge server’s configuration file. The new server will
automatically be discovered and integrated in the server cluster. The server administrators have to make
sure that client’s requests are directed to the new edge server, for example, by adjusting the DNS
settings accordingly.
The same procedure applies when adding a new state server with the exception that no additional setting
changes are required. New state servers are automatically integrated into the server cluster upon
successful startup and the load is equally balanced among all available state servers.
Adding a AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server
To add an AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server, first start the server by issuing the following command:
$ <install-root>/eyeball-acgd-9.0.0-60-el5/etc/init.d/acgd start
Confirm that the server is up and running by checking the log file.

The AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server should write an entry into the SipEdgeServerHistory database
table. The other AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers and AnyConnect Gateway State Servers are
unaware of the presence of the new AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server, except after a user logs in. A
record of the user will be updated in the SipLoginState database table that indicates that the user is
connected to the new AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server. When there are calls directed to this user,
AnyConnect Gateway messages will be forwarded to the new AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server.
While the AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers do not maintain a list of other AnyConnect Gateway Edge
Servers, the server load is distributed using DNS load balancing, where different AnyConnect Gateway
clients connect to different AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers. In this case, DNS SRV entries need to
be added to DNS tables. Please refer to the DNS SRV entries in the example below:
SRV _sip._udp.mydomain.com
_sip._udp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 100 5060 sip1.mydomain.com.
In addition, entries in the firewall may be required to allow incoming UDP and/or TCP packets to reach
the new AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server.
Removing a AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server
To remove a AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server, enter the following command:
$ <install-root>/eyeball-acgd-9.0.0-60-el5/etc/init.d/acgd stop
When a AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server is properly shutdown, all TCP connections to that
AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server will be closed, users will be logged out, and active calls will added to
the CallsHistory database table, but no BYE messages will be generated. Please wait for a few seconds if
the AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server does not completely shutdown immediately, as it may be busy
closing connections and logging users out.
SIP clients attempting to connect to the removed AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server should fall back to
one of the other AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers, which are discovered using a DNS SRV lookup.

Adding an AnyConnect Gateway State Server
AnyConnect Gateway State Servers are typically behind a firewall and invisible to the outside world.
Private IP addresses are typically used. The network configuration must allow UDP traffic between
AnyConnect Gateway State Servers and AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers.
To add an AnyConnect Gateway State Server, first start the server by issuing the following command:
$ ./bin/stated -c etc/stated.conf -s SIP
Confirm that the server is up and running by checking process list.
$ ps ax
The AnyConnect Gateway State Server will register itself in the StateServerRegistry database table. The
AnyConnect Gateway Edge Server will periodically check the entries in this table and send queries to the
new AnyConnect Gateway State Server.
Removing an AnyConnect Gateway State Server
To remove an AnyConnect Gateway State Server, issue the following command:
$ kill `cat stated.pid`
The AnyConnect Gateway State Server will continue running for 10 to 20 seconds, to allow time for the
AnyConnect Gateway Edge Servers to update their internal lists of AnyConnect Gateway State Servers
and stopping making queries to the AnyConnect Gateway State Server that is shutting down.
If the AnyConnect Gateway State Server is terminated improperly, the AnyConnect Gateway Edge
Servers may experience timeouts connecting to the AnyConnect Gateway State Server. This error
condition should only last for at most 20 seconds, after which the AnyConnect Gateway Proxy will resume
normal operation.

5. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway:
Password Settings
Password Settings
Password File
The edge server component of the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway uses a password file (usually named
eyeball.auth) to store various passwords and keys in encrypted format, e.g., the password for the
command line interface and the key for securing user passwords. The tool ebpasswd found in the
Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway installation package is used to encrypt the contents of the password file.
The password file is generated during the installation (see Section 3. Installation). It contains entries of
the form
<entry>: <encrypted string>,
where < entry> denotes the purpose of the entry (e.g., 3des denotes the key used to encrypt user
passwords) and the encrypted string represents the actual password or key. The cleartext of the
encrypted strings is not stored anywhere.
The following encrypted passwords and keys are by default found in the password file:
1. database password (defined during the installation)
2. command line interface password (default entry: cli)
3. key to encrypt the user passwords (default entry: 3des)
4. TLS key passphrase if TLS was configured (defined during the installation)
In order to change the value of an entry, i.e., a password or key, the ebpasswd tool can be used. The
password for the command line interface can be changed directly from the CLI itself. It is recommended

to change the key used to encrypt the user passwords (entry 3des) only if it was compromised. Otherwise
the whole set of user passwords must be re-encrypted.
User Accounts: pass3des
The tool pass3des, found in the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway installation package, is used to encrypt
and decrypt user’s passwords in the database and used for provisioning (see Section 13.1) or password
changes.
pass3des implements 3DES symmetric encryption. The key used to encrypt user passwords is kept in the
password file stored in the entry 3des (see section Password File above). The Eyeball AnyConnect
Gateway uses this key to access the user passwords stored in the database. In case this key needs to be
changed, e.g., in case it was compromised, it is necessary to decrypt the user passwords with the old key
and re-encrypt the passwords with a new key.

Command Line Arguments
Command Line Arguments
acdg
The acgd executable supports the following command line arguments.
Command Line

7. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: TLS
Configuration
TLS Configuration
AnyConnect Gateway needs to be configured in order to allow outgoing and incoming SIP connections
using TLS. TLS is also required to enable peering with Google Talk. To enable TLS connections to and
from the AnyConnect Gateway, the parameter sip_tls_port must be set in the configuration file (see
Section 4 Server Configuration) and a TLS certificate must be generated and installed as described in this
section. The server administrator must generate the TLS certificate and the TLS certificate key. Several
options are available for generating the certificate. In this section, the procedure using the publicly
available openssl toolkit is briefly outlined. Please refer to the openssl website ( http://www.openssl.org)
for further reference.
First, a keyfile must be generated. This keyfile is used to protect the certificate and must be specified in
the configuration file (parameter tls_cert_keyfile, see Section 4 Server Configuration). Here is an example
of how this can be done using openssl.
/> openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 2048
The program will ask for a password to protect the keyfile and generate the keyfile privkey.pem, which will
be password protected. The password must be added to the eyeball password file using the password
utility ebpasswd. It is possible (but NOT recommended) to omit the password protection. The keyfile must
be protected from unauthorized access as it protects the actual certificate and prevents others from using
the certificate.
After generating the keyfile, an actual certificate request can be generated. This means, a file is
generated that must be sent to a certificate authority (CA). Then the CA will issue a valid certificate for
your server. The certificate request file is generated as follows:
/> openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out cert.csr

The resulting file cert.csr must be sent to the CA. The CA will then issue a valid certificate for your server,
which must be placed in the appropriate directory and added to the configuration file using the parameter
tls_cert_file (see Section 4 Server Configuration).
Another option is to generate a self-signed certificate. This is NOT recommended because it provides no
way for clients to actually verify the integrity and validity of the certificate with any trusted third-party. This
should only be used for testing purposes.
/> openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
The resulting file cert.pem can be used as server certificate and must be added to an appropriate
directory and specified in the configuration file using the parameter tls_cert_file. The certificate file is
expected in PEM format. openssl can be used to convert certificates from other formats to PEM.
In some cases, it is necessary to install one or more intermediate CA certificates in addition to the actual
server certificate. These certificates should be appended to the server certificate file given in tls_cert_file.

Peering with other SIP Domains/SIP
Proxies (Outbound Proxy)
Peering with other SIP Domains/SIP
Proxies (Outbound Proxy)
AnyConnect Gateway can act as SIP proxy and Enterprise Session Border controller, thus not requiring a
separate SIP proxy. In addition, it is possible to only use the Enterprise SBC functionality for terminating
audio/video and data connections, network security, etc. AnyConnect Gateway can act solely as an
outbound proxy This is useful, for example, when AnyConnect Gateway is used in addition to an existing
SIP proxy server.
In order to enable peering with other SIP domains, e.g. in order to use AnyConnect Gateway as outbound
proxy, it is necessary to allow (or deny) the SIP domains AnyConnect Gateway is peering with. This
configuration step is described in the following.
Two files are used to restrict accepting SIP INVITE messages from other domains/computers or
forwarding SIP INVITE messages to other domains/computers. These two files are domain.allow and
domain.deny. AnyConnect Gateway uses a mechanism similar to the one employed on UNIX systems
(which uses host.allow and host.deny files).
domain.allow and domain.deny contain IP addresses or domain names. Each line in the file is an entry.
Each entry is a rule that consists of two fields. The first field is a FROM or a TO. A FROM rule regulates
where messages are accepted from, while a TO rule regulates where messages are forwarded. The
second field is an IP address, a sub-network, a hostname or a SIP domain name.
Rules in domain.allow specify other domains where SIP INVITE messages will be accepted from or
forwarded to. Rules in domain.deny specify other domains where SIP INVITE messages will not be
accepted from or forwarded to. The keyword ALL matches any possible IP address, hostname or domain
name, and can be used as a wildcard.

Example (domain.allow):
FROM 123.123.123.123
FROM 64.85.36.162
TO ALL
In the previous example, SIP messages are accepted when they were sent from the IP addresses
123.123.123.123 and 64.85.36.162. These messages are interpreted as messages from other SIP
domains and are not challenged. That means, any message received from those IP addresses will always
be forwarded. The username and the proxy_challenge parameter in the configuration file (see Section 4 .
Server Configuration) will be ignored. In the above example, messages are forwarded to any other SIP
domain, IP address or hostname (indicated by the entry TO ALL).

 8.2. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Accepting Messages from other SIP Proxies (FROM rules)

Forwarding Messages to other SIP
Proxies (TO rules)
Forwarding Messages to other SIP
Proxies (TO rules)
The basic access control mechanism for forwarding works as follows. First, the SIP message is parsed to
obtain a target domain. Then domain.allow is searched for an entry matching the target domain. The
domain.deny is checked for an entry matching the target domain. The entries are checked one-by-one,
starting from the beginning of the file. The check terminates when the first match is found. If a match is
found in domain.allow, the message will be forwarded, and domain.allow is not checked. When the target
of a message is an IP address or hostname, the same mechanism applies. If no match is found, the proxy
assumes the message should be forwarded.
Restricting the destination for a message is useful, for example, to restrict access to a PSTN gateway
server.

Accepting Messages from other SIP
Proxies (FROM rules)
Accepting Messages from other SIP
Proxies (FROM rules)
The access control mechanism employed when deciding whether or not to forward a message is applied
to each incoming SIP INVITE message. It determines whether the message is authenticated, and then
whether to forward the message or not. The mechanism must be applied and configured carefully.
To determine whether a message is from a trusted source, the access control mechanism checks
domain.allow and then domain.deny in the way described in previous subsection. If no match is found,
the proxy assumes the message is from a trusted source.
The SIP proxy resolves SIP domains and hostnames as part of the startup phase. Each entry in the two
files, domain.allow and domain.deny, is checked to determine whether it represents an IP address,
hostname, or SIP domain. This process works as follows:
1. When the entry represents an IP address, this IP address is added to the internal access control
structures.
2. When the entry does not represent an IP address, the SIP proxy checks whether the entry
represents a SIP domain. DNS SRV lookups are carried out for each of the protocols UDP, TCP,
and TLS. When successful, the respective IP addresses are added to the internal access control
structures.
3. When the entry does not represent an IP address and the DNS SRV lookup is unsuccessful, the
SIP proxy tries to interpret the entry as a hostname. If the entry can be resolved to a valid IP
address, this IP address is added to the internal access control structures.
Examples:
1. Defaults
By default, the Eyeball SIP Proxy does not accept messages from other SIP domains, but allows
forwarding to any other SIP domain.

domain.allow:
TO ALL
domain.deny:
FROM ALL
2. Default-deny Strategy
The following example shows how to implement a default-deny strategy, denying access from and to any
IP and SIP domain except for those specified in domain.deny. In this example, messages to and from the
SIP domain eyeball.com are accepted.
domain.allow:
TO eyeball.com
FROM eyeball.com
domain.deny:
FROM ALL
TO ALL
The domain eyeball.com is resolved during proxy startup, resulting in one or more IP addresses being
added to the internal access control structures
3. Default-allow Strategy
The following setting results in a default-allow strategy, i.e., messages are accepted and forwarded by
default, with only the exceptions defined in domain.deny. Note, that specifying FROM ALL and/or TO ALL
in domain.allow would lead to acceptance and forwarding of all messages as the search stops when the
first match is found. Thus, the exceptions specified in domain.deny would be ignored.
domain.allow:
domain.deny:
TO xyz.com
FROM 192.168.0.100
FROM 123.123.123.123
It is very important to carefully design the FROM rules. In the case of the default-allow strategy, it cannot
be verified whether or not incoming SIP INVITE messages were really sent from the domain specified in
the message.

Peering with Google Talk
Peering with Google Talk
AnyConnect Gateway supports protocol conversion from SIP to XMPP/Jingle and allows interoperability
of SIP clients with Google Talk for voice and video calls. In order to peer with Google Talk, it is required to
configure the AnyConnect Gateway for inter domain communication using server dialback.
Setting up DNS SRV for Server Callback
Google Talk uses server dialback for inter-domain communication. It is necessary to create DNS SRV
settings to allow Google Talk servers to locate your domain. The following example illustrates the
required DNS SRV setting for two AnyConnect Gateway edge servers (the server names are
acg1.mydomain.com and acg2.mydomain.com and port 5269 is used for inter-domain traffic):
_xmpp-server._tcp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 50 5269 acg1.mydomain.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 100 5269 acg2.mydomain.com

 9.2. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Enabling SASL
 9.3. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Forcing TLS or SASL for incoming connections
 9.4. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Example: Peering with Google Talk

Specifying the peering method
In order to specify a peering method, set the OutgoingAuthMethod column of the XmppPeerDomains
table to one of " auto", " SASL", or " dialback". Setting the " Active" column to "N" will disable peering with
that realm. Incoming and outgoing peering methods need not be the same. For example, it is possible to
specify dialback for incoming and SASL for outgoing connections.
In order to setup peering with Google Talk, the peering method must be set to dialback.

Enabling SASL
Enabling SASL
SASL secrets must be created and inserted into the database table XMPPPeerDomains for each domain
you are peering with. Use the pass3des utility to encrypt the secrets with the 3DES key specifically
generated for each server. For each server, encrypt the incoming and outgoing secrets, specify the
server’s key, the domain you are peering with, and the secret on realm a.net:
$ ./tools/pass3des 85987523cbab6d892f645d762a9745f86bbaf7d5b0cdc16d b.net password
$ ./tools/pass3des 85987523cbab6d892f645d762a9745f86bbaf7d5b0cdc16d b.net password2
Add the encrypted secrets to the database table XMPPPeerDomains, specifying the domain you are
peering with.

Forcing TLS or SASL for incoming
connections
connections
Specify either server_require_tls or server_requires_sasl to force incoming peer connections to use TLS
or SASL. Both can be enabled and disabled via the command line interface CLI.

Example: Peering with Google Talk
connections
The following describes how to setup the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway to peer with Google Talk. This
requires to enable communication with the domain ‘gmail.com’ using dialback.
1. set the xmpp_server_port configuration parameter to port 5269 in the configuration file:
xmpp_server_port = 5269
2. set the server_to_server configuration parameter in the configuration file:
server_to_server = y
3. Specify the servers you would like to peer with by inserting a record of the server into the database
(this applies to both incoming and outgoing connections). In order to enable peering with Google Talk, the
realm ‘ gmail.com’ must be specified by adding a record to the XmppPeerDomains table:
INSERT INTO XmppPeerDomains SET Domain = "gmail.com", OutgoingAuthMethod =
"dialback"
4. Peering with Google Talk is now enabled via dialback, start/restart the AnyConnect Gateway server.

Peering with Microsoft Lync Server
Peering with Microsoft Lync Server
Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway supports protocol conversion from SIP to Microsoft SIP and allows
interoperability of SIP clients with Microsoft Lync Server for voice and video calls.
Setting up connection between ACG and Microsoft
Lync
Connection between ACG and Microsoft Lync can be established in two ways:
 Microsoft Lync Server can be configured to initiate a connection to ACG host via TCP or UDP
port 5060.
 ACG can be configured via acgd.conf to initiate a connection to Microsoft Lync Server.
In order to specify a peering method, set the OutgoingAuthMethod column of the MicrosoftPeerDomains
table to one of " auto" or " dialback". Setting the " Active" column to " N" will disable peering with that
realm.
Forcing TLS for incoming connections
Specify either server_require_tls to force incoming peer connections to use TLS. This can be enabled and
disabled via the command line interface CLI.

Starting and Stopping the Server
Starting and Stopping the Server
In order to run the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway, both edge and state server components must be
started. If you are using the init.d scripts provided in the installation package the server may be started
with
<install-root>/ eyeball-acgd-9.0.0-60-el5/etc/init.d/acgd start
When AnyConnect Gateway runs as daemon, the output is redirected to the file specified in the
configuration. Otherwise, the standard output is used.
To ensure that the server is running, please connect to the administration port running the command
telnet localhost 7015 (port 7015 is used for the command line interface in the default configuration). You
can also check that the process is running by using the ps –ef command.
In the event of an unsuccessful startup, the AnyConnect Gateway exits with an error code for one of the
following reasons:
 Cannot read the configuration file. The configuration file is not specified or the specified file
cannot be read.
 Error during initialization. The Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway gives a detailed error message on
the console or in the output file indicating the cause of the failure. The most common reasons
include failure to obtain a license from Eyeball Monitoring Server, server ports are already in use,
cannot read the database authentication file, or failure to connect to the database.
The servers may be stopped with:
<install-root>/ eyeball-acgd-9.0.0-60-el5/etc/init.d/acgd stop
Unless specified by –f option to run in foreground, the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway runs as daemon in
the background.

Command Line Interface
Command Line Interface
The Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway can be monitored and administered using the command line interface
available via a telnet connection to the administration port of the server.
Connection to the administration port is password protected. The initial default password is ‘eyeball’.
Changing this password is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED upon first login. The password is encrypted using
the password utility ebpasswd and stored as user cli in the file specified by password_file in the
acgd.conf. Several simultaneous connections to the administration port are possible.
Connection to the administration port can be established using the telnet command. The administration
port is specified in the server configuration file.

The AnyConnect Gateway supports the following administrative commands.

Database
Database
This section describes how the Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway uses the database and how to setup new
accounts. The database tables can be created using the database script included in the Eyeball
AnyConnect™ Gateway package.
If you are running multiple Eyeball servers, it is recommended to use the same database for all servers to
simplify the provisioning process.
Administrators only need to access the tables required for provisioning and statistics. All other tables are
required for internal purposes only and should not be touched or changed.
Adding, removing or modifying information in database tables must be made with great care as it may
interfere with the proper operation of the server .

Provisioning
Provisioning
Adding and removing user accounts requires accessing the account table in the database.
The table has the following columns:
Column Type
account_id unsigned auto_increment
user_id varchar (32)
password varchar (32)
active varchar (1)
created datetime
In order to add a new user, the user’s ID (the name of the user, e.g., ‘eyeball’) and the password must be
added to the account table. The server expects the password in encrypted format. The pass3des tool
found in the archive in the tools subdirectory is used to encrypt the password. This tool implements a
3DES encryption of the password. The key is stored in the file eyeball.auth and the respective username
is 3des.
The column active is used to define whether the user’s account is active (‘Y’) or not (‘N’). This can be
used e.g. to temporarily deactivate a user without deleting the account so it can be activated later. In
addition, the account table contains a timestamp of the time when the user account was created. This is
automatically filled with the current timestamp when a new user is added (see Section 13.3).
The Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway installation package also contains a sample script that can be used for
provisioning.

Statistics
Statistics
The Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway periodically logs statistics and usage information to the database. In
addition, each user’s activity, e.g., logins, is written to the database when such events occur. The
information can be extracted from the table sipstatistics which is described in Section 13.3. This table
captures status and usage information of the AnyConnect Gateway, which is periodically logged. The
logging interval can be adjusted using the logging_interval parameter in the configuration file. The
information logged to this table covers the logging period.
In order to obtain information about a longer period of time, it is necessary to add the information from all
logging intervals covering the request period. For that purpose, each row in the table indicates the date
and time it was taken.
When used together with Eyeball clients, the Eyeball AnyConnect Gateway also logs information about
the call completion rate. For each call, the AnyConnect Gateway captures whether the call was
completed Peer2Peer or using a relay server. If a relay server was used, the actual relay method (UDP,
TCP, or TCP using HTTP tunnel) is given. Please refer to the table description in Section 13.3 for more
details.
In addition, each login (via SIP REGISTER) to the AnyConnect Gateway and each call are logged to the
database. For that purpose, the database tables siploginhistory and sipcallhistory are used. The
format of those two tables is described in Section 13.3.

Database Tables
Database Tables
This section describes and summarizes all the database tables used by the Eyeball AnyConnect
Gateway. The access mode of each table is also specified. The fields mentioned are required for the
proper operation of the server. Other tables and fields can be added on demand. The following two
database tables may optionally be placed in a separate database for logging purposes: sipcallhistory;
siploginhistory; sipserverhistory; and sipstatistics.

14. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Log
Files
Log Files
The AnyConnect™ Gateway writes messages to a log file. By default, the log file is written to
/var/log/acgd.log.
Writing to /var/log/acgd.log may require root access. Make sure that acgd is run with the proper user
privileges to write to the log file. The location of the log file can also be specified in the acgd.conf
configuration file with the log_file parameter.
Depending on the verbosity level 0 to 10, the log file may grow slowly or quickly in size. At verbosity level
0, only important messages or critical errors are logged. At verbosity level 5, all SIP messages are
logged. The recommended verbosity level is 4, where summary information about each SIP message is
logged. The verbosity level is set to 4 by default, and can be changed using the –v command line
argument on startup, as well as the verbose command in the command line interface.
When the log file grows too large, it may exceed the operating system file size limit, which may be 2GB in
certain cases. This may cause the server to stop working, blocking on trying to write to the log file. As
well, large log files may take a long time to load and to browse through. Rotating the log file solves this
problem by renaming the current log file with a number appended, and opening a new log file to be
written to.
The server automatically rotates the log file periodically, depending on the size of the current log file. This
eliminates the need for a server administrator to rotate the logs periodically, although it is still possible to
rotate the log file by issuing the rotate log command in the command line interface. The automatic log
rotation is configured by the log_max_file_size and log_max_file_count parameters in the acgd.conf
configuration file. By default, the log is rotated when it reaches 10 MB and a maximum of 100 log files are
stored. When the maximum number of log files is reached, the server will overwrite log files in a cyclical
manner. In other words, the server will write to acgd.log.000099, acgd.log.0000100, and then
acgd.log.0000001, acgd.log.0000002, and so on. This way, the last 1 GB of logs are preserved. Using
that schema, acgd.log.0000002 can be more recently updated than acgd.log.0000050. The sequence of
the log files can be determined by checking the time and date of the log files:
$ ls -l acgd.log.*

15. Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway: Port
Settings
Port Settings
The Eyeball AnyConnect™ Gateway requires at least 3 ports to be accessible from the public Internet in
order to allow SIP clients to connect. In addition to the default ports 5060 and 5061, the Eyeball
AnyConnect™ Gateway also listens for connections on ports 443 and port 80 in order to allow clients
behind restricted firewalls and HTTP proxies to connect.
Direction Destination Port Protocol Purpose
Incoming 5060 UDP/TCP SIP
5061 TCP SIP over TLS (if configured)
443 TCP SIP
80 TCP SIP
5269 TCP XMPP
5222 TCP XMPP
Outgoing 443 TCP
Connection to Eyeball licensing servers
