Re: [SR-Users] sip invite proxy-authorization

Cheers Alex for your insight. My problem still remains in that my invites are not being challenged even though AUTH is defined.

Registration is an inbound concept, not an outbound concept. You can make calls without being registered. You can make outbound calls using different AAA mechanisms. Being registered in no way implies being able to make outbound calls. They're just completely unrelated. There is a common authentication mechanism used in both scenarios: digest challenge authentication. As a practical matter, Kamailio sends a 407 proxy challenge for requests it is meant to relay (e.g. INVITEs) and a 401 Unauthorized challenge for requests of which it is the logical destination (e.g. REGISTER), and both draw on the same set of authentication credentials and otherwise work the same way. The AUTH route covers both of these cases. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/ _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
