Because I want to have asterisk know the context, callerid and the 
accounting code so that the user can be billed properly and put into the 
correct context.

I don't actually want the user to have to input their credential twice - 
I am assuming that if the realm, username and password are the same that 
this will allow authentication to take place. Is this incorrect?

Essenstially, I want users to be registered on openser, and that all sip 
to sip local calls happen within openser. Calls to and from the PSTN, 
and voicemail, etc. I want to go to/from asterisk.
