Kamailio & Asterisk SIP Registration Forwarding - Asterisk replies 401 Unauthorized
by Ben Fitzgerald 17 Apr '26

17 Apr '26

Hi, I've been following this integration tutorial http://kb.asipto.com/asterisk:realtime:kamailio-4.0.x-asterisk-11.3.0-astdb and have a successful registration and I can even make calls through my asterisk box. However what is unusual to me is that every time a phone registers with Kamailio, that is forwarded to Asterisk (as expected), yet Asterisk replies with 401 Unauthorized. Oddly enough the phone registers and can still make calls. What worries me is that as we scale to 100's of cps, this seemingly erroneous message may slow down Asterisk because it's trying to handle authentication for users which have already been authenticated by Kamailio. If this behavior is expected, then that would be good to know as well. This is the sip debug from ASTERISK (I have replaced IP's with the names of the servers): <--- SIP read from TCP:kamailio:41205 ---> REGISTER sip:asteriskIP:5060;transport=tcp SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/TCP kamailio;branch=z9hG4bK998f.2846e405000000000000000000000000.0 To: <sip:40081@asteriskIP> From: <sip:40081@asteriskIP>;tag=32fda68bf54efeeb04e3edc67b53c63d-cfb0 CSeq: 10 REGISTER Call-ID: 0005ce130bcee5c4-26538@kamailio Max-Forwards: 70 Content-Length: 0 User-Agent: kamailio (4.3.0 (x86_64/linux)) Contact: <sip:40081@kamailio:5060> Expires: 3600 <-------------> --- (11 headers 0 lines) --- Sending to kamailio:5060 (no NAT) Sending to kamailio:5060 (no NAT) <--- Transmitting (no NAT) to kamailio:5060 ---> SIP/2.0 401 Unauthorized Via: SIP/2.0/TCP kamailio;branch=z9hG4bK998f.2846e405000000000000000000000000.0;received= kamailio From: <sip:40081@asteriskIP>;tag=32fda68bf54efeeb04e3edc67b53c63d-cfb0 To: <sip:40081@asteriskIP>;tag=as404bac9a Call-ID: 0005ce130bcee5c4-26538@ kamailio CSeq: 10 REGISTER Server: Asterisk PBX 11.6-cert2 Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, INFO, PUBLISH Supported: replaces, timer WWW-Authenticate: Digest algorithm=MD5, realm="asterisk", nonce="262b338e" Content-Length: 0 <------------> Scheduling destruction of SIP dialog '0005ce130bcee5c4-26538@ kamailio' in 32000 ms (Method: REGISTER) Scheduling destruction of SIP dialog '0005ce130bcee5c4-26538@ kamailio' in 32000 ms (Method: REGISTER) Really destroying SIP dialog '0005ce130bcee5c1-26536@ kamailio' Method: REGISTER ========================= sip.conf for kamailio trunk: [kamailio-inbound] type=friend dtmfmode=auto host=kamailioIP allow=all context=sipout insecure=port,invite canreinvite=no ======================== Asterisk version: 11.6-cert2 Kamailio version: 4.3 Benjamin Fitzgerald LETS Corporation (925) 235-1154 ben(a)letscorp.us *******Confidential Notice: This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Support for TLS server_name extension (aka SNI=server name indication)
by Barry Flanagan 04 Sep '25

04 Sep '25

Hi, Back in Kamailio 1.5, the release notes state: "support for TLS server_name extension (aka SNI=server name indication)" However, I cannot find any indication of this in the current TLS docs, and trying to set tls_server_name or server_name in tls.cfg fails with "unsupported option". Is this actually supported? Thanks. -Barry Flanagan

[4.2] how to send out BYE successfully to close a TCP/TLS connection which misses the connection ID?
by Jack Wang 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

For some reasons, My settings will cause kamailio to be restarted even if there were connections connected to it. And when one SIP client in a connection wanted to hangup the call with a WebRTC Client (SIP over websocket) after the proxy-restarting, local client was closed, however , the other side was not. >From the log below it seems that the connection missed. Jan 30 18:19:31 ./kamailio[27857]: WARNING: <core> [msg_translator.c:2777]: via_builder(): TCP/TLS connection (id: 0) for WebSocket could not be found Jan 30 18:19:31 ./kamailio[27857]: ERROR: tm [t_msgbuilder.c:1365]: assemble_via(): assemble_via: via building failed Jan 30 18:19:31 ./kamailio[27857]: ERROR: tm [t_msgbuilder.c:1545]: build_uac_req(): build_uac_req(): Error while assembling Via Jan 30 18:19:31 ./kamailio[27857]: ERROR: tm [uac.c:379]: t_uac_prepare(): t_uac: Error while building message So, Is it equivalent to connection ID missing? And is there any way to make Websocket found the connection? Btw, after proxy-restarting for seconds , I typed `sh kamctl stats` : websocket:ws_current_connections = 1 It showed that the WebRTC Client will re-connect automatically, So I think this connection could be found by proxy, Any suggestion? Thanks :)

Via header force change protocol to TLS?
by Anthony Alba 30 May '24

30 May '24

I have kamailio behind a TLS termination proxy so the sockets are correctly deduced to be TCP. However the clients only talk TLS to the proxy and are confused when the top Via header added by Kamailio is TCP. Is there a way for Kamailio to forcibly pretend its protocol is TLS? Like advertised_address but "advertised_protocol" instead. (With pjsip testing: it has a flag use_tls which ignores TCP from Kamailio and continues to use the persistent TLS transport to proxy. Linphone fails because it tries to honor TCP in Via and is unable to establish TCP transport). BTW I am using t_relay_to_tcp so Kamailio will return traffic to the proxy as TCP even though the contact addresses specify transport=TLS.

Dialog and DMQ on restart
by Björn Klasen 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

Hi everybody, I'm just testing Kamailio 5.4.1 with dialog replication over DMQ. This seems to work very good. Dialogs are replicated without problems. When I'm restarting one node I would have expected, that all dialogs are synced again, just like in dmq_usrloc. But this does not happen. After a restart the nodes dialog-list is empty. Did I miss somethin? Is there a special parameter that I have to set?

Is Min-SE check broken?
by harneet singh 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hi All, I am facing an issue in understanding how the min_se should be working in kamailio. As per the SST documentation, it seems like if the min_se is configured as 500, then any value of Session-Expires OR MIN-SE if lower than 500, can be responded to by a 422. However, I strangely see the reverse happening. To investigate further, I looked in to the ki_sst_check_min() code in the master, and these seems like a potential issue. Ref Code: Inside ki_sst_check_min(), there is an if condition like below: if (sst_min_se < MIN(minse, se.interval)) { However, shouldn't it be the other way around? ie if (sst_min_se > MIN(minse, se.interval)) { because we need to send 422 if the received value(in INVITE etc) is smaller than the sst configure min_se value? I also found a different documentation, at https://git.sgu.ru/oldssu/ex-opensips/blob/cb9df8d59dbb254a9d862569fd5d11f6… where the check is as below? if (sst_min_se > MIN(minse, se.interval)) { Can someone confirm if this is broken, or my understanding is incorrect?

Config works fine with mysql as topos backend. So the bug is restricted to topos-redis.

Possibility of mirroring the rpm/deb.kamailio.org repos efficiently via rsync?
by Malte Schmidt 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Hello, is there an rsync endpoint available or is there a possiblity of setting this up? Creating a mirror via HTTP is a rather quick and dirty solution and while the deb-repo can be mirrored using debmirror, the rpm repo is hard to sync to a non-CentOS-based machine due to missing dependencies such as yum and reposync in latest Debian-based systems. Would be great to get some input in regards to this topic. Cheers
