I'm interested, too in how to accomplish this. I have tried earlier today
with a Snom360 to register it using its mac address as the authentication
username. I can't seem to get it to work (hopefully I'm just doing
something wrong).
My sip.conf (asterisk 1.2.12) looks something like:
[9580]
type=peer
auth=000413242fff:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
With this the handset registers itself with asterisk, however I don't think
it is working as I can change the username and password without affecting
the registration on the handset. If I try and set secret=secret, or
md5secret= then asterisk refuses to register the handset with a
'Registration from ... failed for ... - Username/auth name mismatch' How
can I specify the authentication username in sip.conf?

In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
And there is your problem. Using the extension as the SIP User ID does
not scale, is confusing, and limits your thinking about devices and
extensions. There are several reasons this is a bad idea. Multiple
extension numbers ringing on the same device / line appearance is the
most common.
We use the MAC address of the device as the SIP User ID. We append a
-a, -b, -c, etc to the MAC address for each line appearance. This does
not work well for Softphone, but since All Softphones Suck(TM), we don't
really care about this limitation.
Users seldom need to know their SIP User ID.
Can you please tell me more about this. I don't follow you weary well. I
understand that we need to treat phone and users different, but I don't
thing that is easy to do with Asterisk 1.2. Maybe something will change, but
till then...
