Just to bug you all (feel free to rant at me),
a client wants to set his caller*ID number for outbound calls though us to PSTN. the client is using SIP to us, he can set the caller*ID name fine.
if he sets his caller*ID number to anything other than his account number (8440101), the call is dropped into the default context (and then hung up by our dial plan).
To get around this i updated CVS HEAD and changed the sip entity from type=user to type=peer (yes peer!) (type=friend works too but im making a point) the client now must register to set his outbound caller*ID Number. it works because when a call comes in asterisk checks its list of registered users connection info and matches against a peer entity.
this seems to be working but it hardly seems correct, i mean using a peer for inbound calls when the docs all say it is for outbound calls.
im not up on the sip protocol but wouldn’t it be better if, when receiving an unknown connection (ie when caller*ID number is set to a pstn number) it first sends an authentication request to the client, on return it checks that username/secret against its list of users. if it still doesn’t find it then drop it into the guest account.
iv posted a bug with a bit more detail but it was closed as a configuration issue (which i suppose it is...) http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0003621
