Chapter 11. SIP Traffic
Authentication settings
SIP Authentication
Decide whether SIP authentication should be On or Off. If Off, the Telecommuting Module will not ask clients for authentication for any SIP method, regardless of what settings are made in the SIP Methods table.
SIP Realm
When authentication is required for a method, the SIP client will ask for a password. The Realm is what the client will present on your screen when asking for a password. If you, for example, use sip.3com.com as your Realm, the client will ask for password with a text which looks like this:
Enter the password for sip.3com.com
SIP User Database
Select SIP User Database
You can either enter SIP users on the Local Registrar page to allow them to use SIP, or use an external RADIUS database to which the Telecommuting Module connects to verify users. You can only use a RADIUS database if the SIP authentication is turned on.
Select if the Telecommuting Module should use a local SIP user database (entered on the Local Registrar page) or an external RADIUS database.
If a RADIUS database is used, at least one RADIUS server must be entered on the RADIUS page under Basic Configuration.
Note that when a RADIUS database is used, the RADIUS server has no means of distinguishing different SIP domains, but will authenticate only the username. As a consequence, you can’t have users on different domains with the same username.
RADIUS Database Settings
If RADIUS is used for SIP user authentication, all SIP users get the same privileges. Select the network from which they can register. Select from the networks defined on the Networks and Computers page under Network Configuration.
When RADIUS is used, you must also enter a RADIUS server on the RADIUS page under Basic Configuration.
