CPE Authentication
==================
CPE to ACS
----------
.. note::
By default GenieACS will accept any incoming connection via HTTP/HTTPS and
respond to it.
The following parameters are used to set and get (password is redacted but
can be set) the username/password used to authenticate against the ACS:
Username: ``Device.ManagementServer.Username`` or ``InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.Username``
Password: ``Device.ManagementServer.Password`` or ``InternetGatewayDevice.ManagementServer.Password``
Enable CPE to ACS Authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CPE to ACS authentication can be configured in the web interface by using the
`Config` option in the `Admin` tab.
Go to the `Admin` -> `Config` page and click on `New config` button at the
bottom of the page. This will open pop-up which requires you to fill in a key
and value. The key should be ``cwmp.auth``. The value accepts a boolean.
Setting the value to ``true`` makes it so that GenieACS accepts any incoming
connection, setting it to ``false`` makes GenieACS deny all incoming
connections. This can be further configured using the ``AUTH()`` and ``EXT()``
functions.
The ``AUTH()`` function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``AUTH()`` function accepts two parameters, username and password. It
checks the given username and password with the incoming request to determine
whether to return true or false.
Basic usage of the ``AUTH()`` function could be as follows:
.. code:: sql
AUTH("fixed-username", "fixed-password")
This will only accept incoming request who authenticate with
"fixed-username" and "fixed-password".
The various device parameters can be referenced from within the ``cwmp.auth``
expression. For example:
.. code:: sql
AUTH(Device.ManagementServer.Username, Device.ManagementServer.Password)
The ``EXT()`` function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``EXT()`` function makes it possible to call an :ref:`extension
<extensions>` script from the auth expression. This can be used to fetch
the credentials from an external source:
.. code:: sql
AUTH(DeviceID.SerialNumber, EXT("authenticate", "getPassword", DeviceID.SerialNumber))
