[asterisk-users] No Authority Found
In over three years of using Asterisk in the lab and also in real-world deployments and supporting other Asterisk users, the single most common problem I have encountered and seen others encounter is the message No Authority Found and the inability to call between machines when using IAX. This is always a configuration problem which is solved after some tinkering with the iax.conf, however I still do not understand the behaviour fully, every time I am able to get it to work it is by pure luck, not by a set formula Even using the example iax.conf files I have seen the no authority found messages, and what puzzles me even more is that I can't find a detailed explanation of this error. Is there any resource with a detailed explanation of No Authority Found messages and how to troubleshoot them? Maybe it relates to the second part of my inquiry? Another thing is my understanding of the peer, user and friend. I thought that a peer can only receive calls from either a user or a friend, a user sends calls to a peer or friend and a friend is both a peer and a user, however in my production machine I have the following configured: register = user:[EMAIL PROTECTED][provider-ingress]type=peerusername=userhost=providerip[provider-egress]type=userusername=userhost=provideripThat's the basics, user, password, providerip are all the same. Now when the provier sends us a call, it always comes in through (according to the CLI and CDR) provider-egress. How can this be if a user is supposed to send calls, not receive them?? ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Peers terminate calls--that is they provide a connection to a remote endpoint. Users originate calls into your system from the outside world. Friends do both, but last I knew the cheeses have deprecated the use of friend in favor of explicit peers and users. And yes, this certainly could impact your connections both inbound and outgoing, causing the error message you report.

When asterisk receives an inbound SIP call it will match the IP against the list of peers. See comments from 1.2 sip.conf ; type = user a device that authenticates to us by from field to place calls ; type = peer a device we place calls to or that calls us and we match by host Leo ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
