Hi,

I know that this question has been discussed many times on this list but
I lost track of the current state of the rules when SipX challenges an
incoming INVITE for credentials.

So the question is: what are the exact rules which determine whether
SipX challenges an incoming INVITE for authentication?

The motivating scenario is the following.

There is a Cisco gateway connected to SipX. External calls are correctly
routed to SipX and everything works fine for basic call scenarios.
However, there is a problem of transferring an incoming call from the
gateway. 

Steps are the following:

- The external incoming call coming from the gateway to SipX is
established between the gateway and an internal SipX extension (Snom
300)
- The internal SipX extension transfers the call to a number. Therefore
it sends a REFER to the gateway.
- The gateway places an INVITE to the transfer destination.
- If the transfer destination is an internal SipX extension, the INVITE
is proxied by SipX and the transfer is successful.
- If, however, the transfer destination is a number on a trunk (selected
by a dial rule), SipX challenges the gateway. As the gateway does not
know about the credentials of the extensions, the gateway cancels the
transfer.

I would like to know, how to get rid of that challenge. Any idea?

Regards,
Gabor
