[OpenSIPS-Users] Stir Shaken: Failed to load certificate

Hello Mickael

if the goal is only to keep your key out of opensips plain sight, the simplest way is using exec.so module, load the private key from a local file or an external data source with an external command, and then store it securely in the local cache for future calls stirshaken signing.
you could also use the rest_client.so module and get your key/certificate from a secure external webservice (my personal fav)
another option is avpops module to get your private key from a sql database on demand (or sqlcacher to full cache your table on script startup)
in case you're considering using the avpops module with its default table, the value column can by default only hold 128 characters. for an RSA private key in PEM format, it can go up to 800 chars.
hope this helps

Hi,
Can you tell me what is the best way to load our private key please ?
It would be great not to have it as clear text in opensips's configuration.

thanks in advance

Hi Ryan,

You have to provide to the stir_shaken_auth() function the actual
content of the certificate file and not just the path. The same goes for
the private key.
