[SR-Users] Change from_uri

[arun Jayaprakash]

Alex, thank you for your pointers. I will work with Asterisk to see how I can change the caller ID instead of messing with the UAC module. Thanks again.

Regards,
Arun

The uac_replace_from() function exported by the 'uac' module can do this:


http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/4.1.x/modules/uac.html#uac.f.uac_replace_from

However, you should carefully give some consideration to whether you really want to change the value of the From header. It is quite inadvisable, and is not something proxies are formally permitted to do. The UAC module gets around this requirement through some rather complicated spoofing.

You might consider instead reconfiguring your UAC to send different From values, most likely by changing 'caller ID' settings in Asterisk, in your case.  For instance, there is the 'callerid' option for sip,conf peers.
