[Serusers] Forwarding user authentication info

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

SER keeps the authentication info in INVITEs and relays it further by 
default. The questions is whether the switch would be able to 
authenticate the user or not if the challenge was generated by ser.

It would be better to set another trust relation between ser and switch, 
based on ip, for example -- all requests coming from ser's ip are 
trustfully.
