Ok, thank you. One final question:

I see that it's possible to have multiple auth's in an endpoint. For
incoming traffic to be
authenticated, how does pjsip know which auth to consider? By looking at
the From: address
in the SIP header, and matching that up with the auth id?
For example if the From: header is <[email protected]>, will it find the AOR
from the IP
address, and the auth from the '10000' ?
