Detailed Description

Object holding authentication information.

Note
The object's fields should not be accessed directly. Prefer using the accessor methods.

In most case, authentication information consists of a username and password. Sometimes, a userid is required by proxy, and realm can be useful to discriminate different SIP domains.

Once created and filled, a LinphoneAuthInfo must be added to the LinphoneCore in order to become known and used automatically when needed. Use linphone_core_add_auth_info() for that purpose.

The LinphoneCore object can take the initiative to request authentication information when needed to the application through the auth_info_requested callback of the LinphoneCoreVTable structure.

The application can respond to this information request later using linphone_core_add_auth_info(). This will unblock all pending authentication transactions and retry them with authentication headers.

Instantiates a new auth info with values from source.

Parameters
[in]sourceThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object to be cloned
Returns
The newly created _LinphoneAuthInfo object.

Function Documentation

void linphone_auth_info_destroy ( LinphoneAuthInfo obj)

Destroys a LinphoneAuthInfo object.

const char * linphone_auth_info_get_domain ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the domain.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The domain.
const char * linphone_auth_info_get_ha1 ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the ha1.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The ha1.
const char * linphone_auth_info_get_passwd ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the password.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The password.
const char * linphone_auth_info_get_realm ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the realm.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The realm.
const char * linphone_auth_info_get_userid ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the userid.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The userid.
const char * linphone_auth_info_get_username ( const LinphoneAuthInfo info)

Gets the username.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
Returns
The username.
LinphoneAuthInfo * linphone_auth_info_new ( const char *  username,
const char *  userid,
const char *  passwd,
const char *  ha1,
const char *  realm,
const char *  domain 
)

Creates a _LinphoneAuthInfo object with supplied information. The object can be created empty, that is with all arguments set to NULL. Username, userid, password, realm and domain can be set later using specific methods. At the end, username and passwd (or ha1) are required.

Parameters
usernameThe username that needs to be authenticated
useridThe userid used for authenticating (use NULL if you don't know what it is)
passwdThe password in clear text
ha1The ha1-encrypted password if password is not given in clear text.
realmThe authentication domain (which can be larger than the sip domain. Unfortunately many SIP servers don't use this parameter.
domainThe SIP domain for which this authentication information is valid, if it has to be restricted for a single SIP domain.
Returns
A _LinphoneAuthInfo object. linphone_auth_info_destroy() must be used to destroy it when no longer needed. The LinphoneCore makes a copy of LinphoneAuthInfo passed through linphone_core_add_auth_info().
void linphone_auth_info_set_domain ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  domain 
)

Sets the domain for which this authentication is valid.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]domainThe domain. This should not be necessary because realm is supposed to be unique and sufficient. However, many SIP servers don't set realm correctly, then domain has to be used to distinguish between several SIP account bearing the same username.
void linphone_auth_info_set_ha1 ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  ha1 
)

Sets the ha1.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]ha1The ha1.
void linphone_auth_info_set_passwd ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  passwd 
)

Sets the password.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]passwdThe password.
void linphone_auth_info_set_realm ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  realm 
)

Sets the realm.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]realmThe realm.
void linphone_auth_info_set_userid ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  userid 
)

Sets the userid.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]useridThe userid.
void linphone_auth_info_set_username ( LinphoneAuthInfo info,
const char *  username 
)

Sets the username.

Parameters
[in]infoThe _LinphoneAuthInfo object
[in]usernameThe username.
void linphone_core_abort_authentication ( LinphoneCore lc,
LinphoneAuthInfo info 
)

This method is used to abort a user authentication request initiated by LinphoneCore from the auth_info_requested callback of LinphoneCoreVTable.

void linphone_core_add_auth_info ( LinphoneCore lc,
const LinphoneAuthInfo info 
)

Adds authentication information to the LinphoneCore.

This information will be used during all SIP transactions that require authentication.

void linphone_core_clear_all_auth_info ( LinphoneCore lc)

Clear all authentication information.

LinphoneAuthInfo * linphone_core_create_auth_info ( LinphoneCore lc,
const char *  username,
const char *  userid,
const char *  passwd,
const char *  ha1,
const char *  realm,
const char *  domain 
)

Create an authentication information with default values from Linphone core.

Parameters
[in]lcLinphoneCore object
[in]usernameString containing the username part of the authentication credentials
[in]useridString containing the username to use to calculate the authentication digest (optional)
[in]passwdString containing the password of the authentication credentials (optional, either passwd or ha1 must be set)
[in]ha1String containing a ha1 hash of the password (optional, either passwd or ha1 must be set)
[in]realmString used to discriminate different SIP authentication domains (optional)
[in]domainString containing the SIP domain for which this authentication information is valid, if it has to be restricted for a single SIP domain.
Returns
_LinphoneAuthInfo with default values set
const LinphoneAuthInfo* linphone_core_find_auth_info ( LinphoneCore lc,
const char *  realm,
const char *  username,
const char *  sip_domain 
)

Find authentication info matching realm, username, domain criteria. First of all, (realm,username) pair are searched. If multiple results (which should not happen because realm are supposed to be unique), then domain is added to the search.

Parameters
lcthe LinphoneCore
realmthe authentication 'realm' (optional)
usernamethe SIP username to be authenticated (mandatory)
domainthe SIP domain name (optional)
Returns
a _LinphoneAuthInfo
const MSList* linphone_core_get_auth_info_list ( const LinphoneCore lc)

Returns an unmodifiable list of currently entered LinphoneAuthInfo.

Parameters
[in]lcThe LinphoneCore object
Returns
A list of LinphoneAuthInfo objects.
void linphone_core_remove_auth_info ( LinphoneCore lc,
const LinphoneAuthInfo info 
)

Removes an authentication information object.
