Subject: [Sip-implementors] Question on B2BUA acting as pass-through
forDigest-Challenge

Hi,
        Is it possible for a B2BUA, to act as an intermediate node
between a client
and a server when the server is trying to Authenticate the client ?

->.yes it can do so

Typically a B2BUA will change the INVITE coming from the Client to the
server ( ie. Generate its own Call-ID ) and forward the INVITE to the
server. What if the server challenges such an INVITE (  or REGISTER for
that
matter ) and the B2BUA does not want to store the auth credentials of
the
client ? Can the B2BUA act as a pass-through and forward the challenge
received from server to the client ?

->. no it can't do so as the response from server with challenge will be
actually meant for the B2BUA( not for the client), it's the
responsibility of B2BUA to reconstruct the response with the CallID, to
and from header as received from the Client. Actually the server will
never know from where the request is actually coming i.e the Client.

 ie. The message sent back to the client
will have a different call-id from that of the message in which the
challenge was received ?
->. The callID and other fields(like to and from) match will be done by
B2BUA by reconstructing the response for the Client.

Asheesh.
