GNU Gatekeeper 3.4

GNU Gatekeeper version 3.4 was released on September 19th, 2013.

Highlights and new features:

  • implement H.460.26 (RTP over TCP)
    together with H.460.17, this allows endpoints to operate on a single outbound TCP connection
  • implement H.235.6 media encryption of data channels
  • automatically update H.235.6 media keys after 2^31 packets
    enable with EnableH235HalfCallMediaKeyUpdates=1
  • implement TLS support to encrypt call signaling channel
    important to secure the H.235.6 key exchange, allows a fully encrypted GnuGk-to-GnuGk trunk

  • set RTP source IP on OS that support it (Linux, FreeBSD, Win Vista+)
    important for multi-homed servers with H.460.19 or IP failover
  • new routing policy 'ldap'
  • new authentication modules: LDAPAliasAuth and LDAPPasswordAuth
  • ability to send post dial digits after call connects
  • allow non-gateways to use additive registration, fix H.460.x support
    now always enabled and important for LifeSize interoperability
  • new accounting variables %{caller-vendor} and %{callee-vendor}
  • allow "0.0.0.0/0" in ModeSelection and ExplicitRoutes=
    this allowes you to set one default setting and other rules for exceptions
  • access to the SSH status port can be restricted by additional IP rules in [GkStatus::Auth]
  • setting on/off config switches to y/n or a/? is now depricated, use 1/0
    check your config, these will stop working shortly!
  • a number of bug fixes

We are providing executables for Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Solaris for download.

Please note that not all executables have all features compiled in. Especially if you want good SNMP support, you should compile GnuGk for your specific OS distribution.
