Hello all,
I'm pretty new to the SIP world and appreciate if somebody can help me out.
In the SerWeb login page I noticed a link "Have-My-Domain!", and it looks like
that the result would be having something similar to email forwarding service. Suppose
that I have my own domain (e.g.
mydomain.com), and I have added an SRV record to it and
pointed it to iptel's sip server. Then following the link I was able to create a new
username (e.g. user01). Now based on what I've understood, whenever somebody calls the
sip uri user01(a)mydomain.com my soft phone that is registered with the above account should
ring (my soft phone is using user01 for username,
mydomain.com for server and
iptel.org
for registerar and it seems that it is registered without any problem).
My questions:
1. What prevents others from impersonating a new username in my domain ? It seems that
if somebody knows that
mydomain.com has an SRV record pointed to
iptel.org, can create
another username (user02(a)mydomain.com) and use it without my knowledge, what is worse is
that my DNS provider doesn't have any logging options for DNS requests, so I'll
never find out about it.
2. In my account in iptel ( user01(a)mydomain.com ), there is another sip uri ( something
like 123456(a)mydomain.com ), which I guess is supposed to be used by somebody who uses a
device without alphabets (for example if somebody wants to call me via sipbroker
gateways), I've already tried *478 - 123456 ( *478 is the code for iptel), but it
doesn't work and it goes to voice mail, how can I use sipbroker to call
user01(a)mydomain.com ?
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the long message !
