Yet another SIP authentication problem.
I have SER running, and passing calls to a PRI-enabled Asterisk server from a large
range of Media Terminal Adapters, and a few other Asterisk systems set up as
"clients". I have this PRI-enabled Asterisk server functioning as a very simple media
gateway to hand off my toll-free calls to a PRI - this is a one-way configuration
(calls go to the PRI-enabled Asterisk server but don't originate _from_ that machine.)
I have apparently hit a very strangely shaped brick wall with authentication requests
and the actual characters inside the request string - numeric characters seem to cause
problems, while alpha characters do not. I'm running CVS-HEAD-07/13/04-21:34:00.
Here's the definition of my SER proxy in sip.conf:
[ser-to-tollfree]
type=peer
insecure=yes
host=128.151.224.35
context=from-proxy1
secret=cracksmokingpassword
In the first two examples I show below, things work great. The first query is
(AsteriskPBX -> SER -> AsteriskPRI) and seems to work fine; my calls go through, no
problem. The second query is (MTA -> SER -> AsteriskPRI) and also works fine - no
problems. Note the address of record - it's "JohnTodd" in the second working example.
The third example is from the exact same MTA, with the only change being that I have
altered the address of record to be "1301222" instead of "JohnTodd", which is the
phone number of the device. For some inexplicable reason, Asterisk wants to
authenticate the call if I have a number inside the quotes, despite my "insecure=very"
statement on the peer definition. There are apparently _no_ other reasons for this
authentication request. My call fails, since I don't have authentication set up in
this environment. I have now tested this back and forth half a dozen times to make
sure I'm not going crazy, and it does seem to be the contents inside the quotes that
is causing the "407 Proxy Authentication Required" messages to be produced.
I suspect this is a bug in Asterisk, but I know that the "insecure=" model is very
touchy. Can anyone shed some light on this before I open a ticket?

correctly}

Now, if I modify my contact information to be a phone number (as it "should" be, in my
model) then this is what I get:
