Hi,

Kamailio / RTPEngine was set up on CentOS 8 running SIP to SIPS and RTP to SDES SRTP conversion. This worked as expected

Attempted to duplicate the setup on RHEL but errors were seen. These errors were present on both RHEL 7 / RHEL 8.

The errors seen were as below

kamailio -c

####### Routing Logic ########

If load module lines for TLS are move to near the top of the config file, config will parse and non-SIPS calls will work

loadmodule "sl.so"

loadmodule "tls.so"

But logs will show

WARNING: <core> [main.c:2985]: main(): tls support enabled, but no tls engine  available (forgot to load the tls module?)

WARNING: <core> [main.c:2987]: main(): disabling tls...

Presumably loading the module before configuring it just gives it default values so the latter config is ignored

Any advice on the matter would be appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Chris
