Hello 'serusers,
I would love a quick hint ...
what is the difference between www_authorize and proxy_authorize ?
I heard that the second is to prefer, but in many examples that I
used for my config I have seen the first ...
Tnx !

www_authorize is usually used when the entity generating it is the
final destination of the request. Registrar uses www_authorize, for
example. When ser reiceives a REGISTER, it will not forward it
anywhere but it will process it internally using save("location"). In
this situation www_authorize should be used.
When ser receives an INVITE, it will (optionally) look up the Request
URI in the location database and then forward it. In this case
proxy_authorize should be used because ser will forward the request.
The only difference between the two commands is the name of header
fields used for digest challenge and response.

It depends. A proxy (ser without pa module) forwarding SUBSCRIBER will
use proxy_auhorize, presence server (ser with pa module) will use
www_authorize.
