Detailed Description

Requests authentication.

Author
Lorenzo Miniero loren.nosp@m.zo@m.nosp@m.eetec.nosp@m.ho.c.nosp@m.om

Implementation of simple mechanisms for authenticating requests.

If enabled (it's disabled by default), each request must contain a valid token string, * or otherwise the request is rejected with an error.

When no token_auth_secret is set, Stored-token mode is active. In this mode the Janus admin API can be used to specify valid string tokens. Whether tokens should be shared across users or not is completely up to the controlling application: these tokens are completely opaque to Janus, and treated as strings, which means Janus will only check if the token exists or not when asked.

However, if a secret is set, the Signed-token mode is used. In this mode, no direct communication between the controlling application and Janus is necessary. Instead, the application signs tokens that Janus can verify using the secret key.

Function Documentation

◆ janus_auth_add_token()

gboolean janus_auth_add_token ( const char * token)

Method to add a new valid token for authenticating.

Parameters
[in]tokenThe new valid token
Returns
TRUE if the operation was successful, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_allow_plugin()

gboolean janus_auth_allow_plugin ( const char * token,
janus_plugin * plugin )

Method to allow a token to use a plugin.

Parameters
[in]tokenThe token that can now access this plugin
[in]pluginOpaque pointer to the janus_plugin instance this token can access
Returns
TRUE if the operation was successful, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_check_plugin()

gboolean janus_auth_check_plugin ( const char * token,
janus_plugin * plugin )

Method to check whether a provided token can access a specified plugin.

Note
verifies both token signatures and against stored tokens
Parameters
[in]tokenThe token to check
[in]pluginThe plugin to check as an opaque pointer to a janus_plugin instance
Returns
TRUE if the token is allowed to access the plugin, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_check_signature()

gboolean janus_auth_check_signature ( const char * token,
const char * realm )

Method to check whether a signed token is valid.

Parameters
[in]tokenThe token to validate
[in]realmThe token realm
Returns
TRUE if the signature is valid and not expired, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_check_signature_contains()

gboolean janus_auth_check_signature_contains ( const char * token,
const char * realm,
const char * desc )

Method to verify a signed token contains a descriptor.

Parameters
[in]tokenThe token to validate
[in]realmThe token realm
[in]descThe descriptor to search for
Returns
When the token based authentication is enabled: TRUE if the token is valid, not expired and contains the descriptor, FALSE otherwise. When the token based authentication is disabled: always TRUE.

◆ janus_auth_check_token()

gboolean janus_auth_check_token ( const char * token)

Method to check whether a provided token is valid or not.

Note
verifies both token signatures and against stored tokens
Parameters
[in]tokenThe token to validate
Returns
TRUE if the token is valid, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_deinit()

void janus_auth_deinit ( void )

Method to de-initialize the mechanism.

◆ janus_auth_disallow_plugin()

gboolean janus_auth_disallow_plugin ( const char * token,
janus_plugin * plugin )

Method to disallow a token to use a plugin.

Parameters
[in]tokenThe token this operation refers to
[in]pluginOpaque pointer to the janus_plugin instance this token can not access anymore
Returns
TRUE if the operation was successful, FALSE otherwise

◆ janus_auth_init()

void janus_auth_init ( gboolean enabled,
const char * secret )

Method to initializing the token based authentication.

Parameters
[in]enabledWhether the authentication mechanism should be enabled or not
[in]secretthe secret to validate signed tokens against, or NULL to use stored tokens

◆ janus_auth_list_plugins()

GList * janus_auth_list_plugins ( const char * token)
