  • In order to prevent DoS attacks, a new throttle mechamism has been implemented in the incoming wac-core websocket connection If the rate limit of 10 messages per milisecond is exceeded on a given connection, the system enters in a burst mode where a total of 100 messages are allowed. Otherwise, the connection is dropped with a 4429 status code and this log is provided: “Client reached maximum messages allowed in burst mode. Disconnecting!”. This count applies to each individual WS connection and counts only the messages in the inbound direction (client to server). (ROAD-3341)

Bug fixes

  • Crash loop back error when deploying Loki 2.4.2 (ROAD-3227)

  • Typo in the sippo-maintainer job template that was causing a malfunction in this service (ROAD-3226)

    • Adapted WAPI/Erebus and @quobis/peers to allow propagating the close reason set by wac-core downstream. In the event of a server-side session close, the reason code will be 4401. An SDK implementor should treat that 4401 code as a logout, so the local status of the session must be unauthenticated.

    • REST API documentation is now alphabetically ordered.

  • Recording:

    • a new parameter customize_user_video_tag_text added in recording.toml to indicate the content of the overlay text. Available variables are {{username}}, {{domain}} and {{id}}. You can combine them and use static texts, for instance User: {{username}}@{{domain}}

    • removed log “Recordings folder: that.config.server.recording” that was misleading (ROAD-2762)

Released 25th March 2022

New features

  • User login and authentication process has changed in v5.0 in order to provide a better and more secure authentication process. Two new elements have been added in v5.0: Keycloack (a third-party open source IAM server) and Kitter (a service responsible for user provisioning and coordination between Keycloack and wac service). User authentication and provisioning is made now using these new services and their associated APIs, instead of using the wac REST API endpoints.

v4.2.0

Released 08/01/2021

New features and changes

  • A SIP load balancer service is now available to route incoming SIP calls to a pool of audiomixers using several call routing strategies (round robin, priority based, etc…) for better performance and scalability.

  • Support to SIP authentication using INVITE & REFER authentication has been added so to the SIP proxy.

  • A new service called “Erebus” has been included in the architecture. Erebus is an API gateway that implements a websocket multiplexer that enables clients to access all of the system services using just one single connection. It reduces login and setup time (less TLS handshakes) and reduces the required bandwidth. This new way of connecting to the server is backward compatible.

  • Three client websocket connections (into wrapper, sippo-server, and QSS services) have been multiplexed via Erubus into a single websocket connection. This change reduces significantly the call setup and connection setup times. More connections will be passed via Erebus in the upcoming versions.

  • Added a websocket keepalive message in the websocket connection from the clients in order to prevent the drop of the connection by a firewall. This ping message is automatically sent by the SDKs each 75 seconds and is answered by the system (wrapper service). The 75 seconds value is hardcoded and cannot be changed.

  • Asterisks are allowed as part of the username and alias fields.

Support to several redirect URIs in the oAuth2 authentication process in order to support several type of devices (desktop browser, mobile browser, native app, etc…) with a single oAuth2 host.

  • Added a new functionality “agent assigner” that allows the dispatching of incoming calls to a set of users depending on several criteria. The assignment decision can be taken by an external system (typically, a contact-center or PBX) or locally by the Quobis wac.

  • A “404 Not Found” SIP error code is sent as a failure message when user does not exist in the system or if the domain in the Request-URI does not match any of the domains handled by the recipient of the request, as defined in RFC-3261.

  • SDK clients can now register into a SIP or IMS network via a SIP REGISTER. A valid registration on the system will triger a delegated SIP registration into an external SIP network using the ims-credentials values. Please note that this configuration has been deployed in stand-alone configuration only.

  • Conference URLs path for public rooms is now configurable and set by default to htttps://wac-public-uri/c/public_room. This change has been done to isolate meeting URL from conference URLs

  • A major refactor has been made in order to provide a easiest way to manage and consume contact information. Some methods have been deprecated in the Javascript and iOS SDK. Two new services, “UserContacts” and “Addressbooks”, have been created as result of this refactor.

  • Support to “Lightweight Kubernetes K3s” deployments (www.k3s.io) in addition to standard Kubernets K8s deployment. K3s is a highly available, certified Kubernetes distribution designed resource-constrained systems. Quobis recommends k3s deployments for lab and testing deployments.

  • Deployment using docker-compose is no longer supported.

  • The audiomixer, SFU and SIP-proxy services are now running as pods inside the Kubernetes cluster.

  • K8s cluster can check the health status of the XMPP, o2p, sippo-server, wrapper, dispatcher and QSS containers.

  • A storage quota parameter (maxStorageQuota) can be set in the installation process via the Ansible installer. This parameter is optional, applies to the entire namespaced and defaults to 60GB for the disk space used by databases, uploaded files, chats and backups. It the parameter is removed, there is no space limitation.

  • Ability to configure the system to use dynamic TURN credentials to prevent fraudulent usage of the media server and DoS attacks. This functionality is configured by setting two new parameters in file quobis-dispatcher-config.js (“secret” and “expirationHours”)

  • Meetings can be optionally password-protected for better privacy and security. This password protecion applies both for system users and external users as well.

  • Meeting organizer automatically receives the meeting invitation email when the meeting is created.

  • Meeting URLs path for public rooms is now configurable and set by default to htttps://wac-public-uri/m/meeting_ID. This change has been done to isolate meeting URL from conference URLs

  • Added “VALARM” support into the attached ICS file of the meeting invitation emails as defined in RFC2445. That allows the calendar client to raise a reminder before the meeting starts. This time can be configured in the “remindBefore” parameters, which defaults to 10 minutes.

  • Join/leave group announcements are now available in the chat history.

  • Two different Callkit push certificates can be configured for the same APNs: one for VoIP pushes and another for chat pushes.

  • Mobile push notification payload now includes contact information of the caller party, following the standard order (contact name, display name, username and finally phone number) so the applications don’t need to resolve that information locally.

  • Added parameter “recordingType“ that allows the selection of which media streams are recorded: audio and video, only audio, only video or nothing at all.

  • Audio and video raw files used during the preprocessing phase are deleted from the temporary folders after they are successfully processed if the configuration parameter “clean_temporary_files” in config/config.json is set to true

  • Ability to set a client IP source ranges to be excluded from rate-limiting (configuration option: limit-whitelist). This is useful in some specific scenarios like contact-centers where most of the traffic is coming from the same IP range.

  • A password policy can now be set with some rules such as minimum length, minimum number of letters/numbers, lowercase/uppercase usage, symbols and spaces, password blacklist, etc…) in order to comply with ISO-27001 requirements. These policies are system-wide and can be configured at file config/passwordpolicies.json

  • Restricted avatar uploads to base64 format URI with images to prevent potential XSS attacks.

  • Added a homoglyph check to reject usernames that might look alike to the existing one, in order to avoid homograph attacks and typosquatting. For example, that happens where the Latin character “a” (Unicode U+0061) is replaced with the Cyrillic character “а” (Unicode U+0410)

Bug fixes

  • System was not taking into account the participants limit value when we have users with different media options (JW-63)

  • It was possible to create and domain with an empty domain name which leaded to a login failure (SRV-1692)

  • System does not start when the agent assigner services is enable and there are not agents defined (SRV-1674)

  • Meeting invitations are not sent to guests that are a user contact but don’t belong to the user’s domain (QUOBDEV-654)

  • Meeting invitations are not sent if the user domain is written completely with uppercase letters (QUOBDEV-651)

  • Calls transferred to a SIP destination caused a wrong entry in the conference log in parallel-SIP scenarios which also caused a crash in the iOS SDK (QSS-281)

  • Calls were not correctly setup after a redirection from one audiomixer to another with parallel-sip configuration and HA setup (QSS-288, QSS-234)

  • Users were allowed to set another username in uppercase as their alias (SRV-1610)

  • Incoming SIP that matched a wac-ims-credentials that starts with a (+) symbol were rejected (QSS-179)

  • Filters createdAtBefore and createdAtSince were not working as expected, as they used LessThanOrEqual or GreaterThanOrEqual filters rather than``LessThan`` and GreaterThan filters (SRV-1664)

  • The call does not progress when calling to a ringing group and the first user of the group is offline (QSS-266)

  • An ongoing call ends if the user logs out from another session (QSS-270)

  • Making a call to a user group with a space in its ID gets no answer and ends after a timeout (QUOBDEV-694)

Known issues

  • Service sippo-exporter crashes sending a GET to api/queues (DEVOPS-301)

  • Presence remains as “busy” if a user is in a call and the connection is closed abruptly (ASLO-33)

Technical improvements

  • Mobile push notification implementation has been completely redesigned in order to comply with the last iOS policies and to accomodate both hybrid and native applications. All push notifications are now sent from the sippo-server services, including chat notifications which were previously sent by the XMPP server.

  • Unify user group events into a single one (group-updated)

REST API

v4.0.0

The list below shows the overview of the main features added since the previous version at each category. A detailed list is provided in the next subchapter.

New features

  • The internal architecture has been separated into Sippo AS and Sippo MS. Besides that, new features have been implemented as a number of microservices -interconnected by a high performance message broker- to improve resilience and scalability.

  • On the client side, two new mobile SDKS have been added for iOS and Android operating systems.

  • Sippo manager has been released to provide better logging and monitoring capabilities. Logs can also now be sent to an external ElasticSearch server for analytics and troubleshooting.

  • Added delegated authentication against Microsoft ADFS servers and upgraded Google oAuth to work with newer Google versions

  • Added a number of PBX-like features such as ringing groups, attended transfer, unattended transfer, onHold, etc… That means that Sippo wac can provide signalling capabilities on its own, without requiring a third-party PBX o SIP backend.

  • A new service named “conferencelog” allows also to retrieve the conferences where a user has participated, including those where multiple participants are joining and leaving during the conference and also including low-level information on invited participants, rejected and accepted invites, transferred users, etc..

  • Integration with external SIP backend has been also improved with a “SIP parallel leg” approach. That means that service providers can easily add collaboration to exiting voice-only networks.

  • Room management is more powerful in this version, as it’s possible to mix and match PSTN users, Sippo users and guest users in the same room. We’ve also changed the associated logic so room ownership is now handled in a more efficient way.

  • Phonebook service has been added to better handle shared contacts and group contacts. In addition to personal contacts and domain contacts, administrators can now define a set of contacts that are assigned to specific users or groups. Users can also manage their own private phonebooks in addition to the ones created by the administrator. Improved mobile and directory synchronization of contacts is also included in this version.

  • Deployment over Docker infrastructure is now fully supported and it’s the recommended deployment choice for trials and PoCs. Automation has been done with Ansible scripts that don’t require any manual installation. On the other hand, deployment over Kubernetes infrastructure is now the default choice for production environments. Deployments over public cloud are now also supported in Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

  • On the testing side, a number of load testing scripts and functionality testing scripts are available using third-party QA tools, in order to test the deployment before production.

  • Sippo MS has been included into the architecture so a third-party WebRTC media server is now an optional choice. This media server can handle H264, VP8 codecs and is also able to interact with traditional voice networks using G711 codecs.

  • This version also enables screen sharing from Chrome and Firefox without requiring a plugin (desktop only).

  • Meetings have been refactored to make them more flexible and manageable, so that they can have a DDI assigned to access the meeting from PSTN or PBX (dial-in).

  • This version incorporates a completely redesigned messaging service, that allows to have permanent chat between users, personal chat rooms, predefined chat rooms and other improvements. It also adds new user capabilities so administrators can allow or disallow messaging functions to users and user groups.
