Being able to easily federate SIP systems and subscribe to presence can
both be a security problem or a feature. I am looking for an explanation
on how this is supposed to work in a practical sense:

 

a)       What credentials are required if a user of a sipXecs system
wants to subscribe to the presence of another user of a different
sipXecs system on a different domain?  Who provides these credentials
and where are they entered and by whom (admin or user)?

b)       Same scenario if I want to create a speed dial entry on my
phone connected to sipXecs for another SIP contact registered with a
different system. Where and how would I enter the credentials

 

As we resolve XECS-1606 should it be configurable whether we require
authentication or not?  How should this work eventually?  It seems to me
that somehow there is a need for a policy that says that certain domains
can be federated and others cannot, maybe even on a per user basis. Can
someone explain how this is intended to work or what the SIP standards
community thinks how this should be done?
