Hi all,
I'm new to SER, so maybe the question is trivial. What I'm wondering if
there's
a way SER can itself (!) authenticate using digest authentication on a PSTN
gateway?
no, see

Obviously I can't use "rewriteuserpass"
because this doesn't support
digest authentication.
Background: I'm using a hardware SIPphone (BT100) that can only connect to one
single SIP server. I'd like to make it connect to SER running on my Linux box.
SER would not need to authenticate the phone itself (it's my private LAN segment
anyway). SER should register itself (not the phone) as a UA to several SIP
servers in the Internet on behalf of the BT100 (like Stanaphone, Sipgate,
Nikotel, etc). To do so, my credentials for these servers are placed on the
Linux box (in cleartext). Of course these servers require digest authentication,
jence my initial question. As soon as I make a call on teh BT100, SER can use a
dialing plan in order to decide what PSTN to connect it to - but this should be
invisible to the BT100, the SER proxy should even take care itself of the digest
authentication.
I browsed the auth module - but I can only find actions in there that would
allow the proxy to digest-authenticate incoming requests - or did I miss
something? I don't really feel like installing a MySQL server either (for my 2-3
accounts), unless really needed. What I need though is a way how the proxy could
itself - independent of the calling client - authenticate on different servers
(using different credentials at each server). Is this possible using SER? Or
maybe some other software?
Thanks, Andy
