if use_uri_table is set, then the username/digest_id is checked
against a white-list of valid combinations in database. For
example user with id "mrpoliceman" can be allowed to have
"mrpoliceman" and "911" in URIs.
If unset, username is checked against digest_id. "mrpoliceman"
can only have "mrpoliceman" in URIs. No database lookep is carried
out.
At iptel, we deploy the latter simple policy:
if (method=="REGISTER") {
if (!www_authorize("iptel.org", "subscriber")) {
# challenge if none or invalid credentials
www_challenge("iptel.org", "0");
break;
};
if (!check_to()) {
log("LOG: To Cheating attempt\n");
sl_send_reply("403", "That is ugly -- use To=id in
REGISTERs");
break;
};
(If you try to login at iptel with Messenger and specify different URI
from digest identity, you will get 403)
The table-driven policy is good if subscribers may have various
appearances.

I've run into a problem (again) where I'm
worried about the registration
and invite identity. I've got the appropriate check_from() which
verifies
that the from uri contains a user in the subscriber table.
The README in uri :
-------
1.4.3. check_from()
Check From username against URI table or digest credentials.
--------
I can't tell from the description if this means that *any* user
will work? Can the user in the from() field be different that the
user in the digest credentials? How can I be sure that the from
matches the credentials?
