Hello List,
I have a little issue with calls placed to a provider declared on
sip.conf, because of a not clear (*for me*) behavior of 'remotesecret'
parameter.
Before continuing, this is my environment:
Asterisk: 1.6.2.16.1
OS: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
Details:
I have this block on sip.conf
----- start ----
...
register => john:[email protected]
...
[john-peer]
type=peer
defaultuser=john
remotesecret=j0nhp4ss
;secret=j0nhp4ss
host=66.128.XX.XXX
directmedia=no
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=jonh-context
----- end ----
When I send a call to that block, I receive the following response
unless (I explicitly indicate a 'secret' parameter, no matter if
'remotesecret' parameter was indicated):
"Forbidden" from '"Test Account" <sip:[email protected]>;tag=as749a7ced'
If I set the 'secret' parameter, everything goes smoothly as expected.
Maybe I'm obviating something 'basic', but the CHANGES file says:
-----
Added a new configuration option "remotesecret" for authentication to
remote services. For backwards compatibility, "secret" still has the
same function as before, but now you can configure both a remote secret
and a local secret for mutual authentication.
-----
and on sip.conf.sample
-----
;remotesecret=guessit ; Our password to their service
-----
I thought that 'remotesecret' is used to authenticate myself when
placing a call to the remote network, as I used to do with 'secret'
parameter.
Doing a: grep -ir 'remotesecret' . (inside the Asterisk source
directory) indicates that only this files mention that parameter:
./ChangeLog
./channels/chan_sip.c
./CHANGES:
./configs/sip.conf.sample
Could someone please point me to documentation regarding this two
parameters?
Thanks in advice.
