[Freeswitch-users] FreeSwitch Error: "username param is REQUIRED!"

[Ken Rice]

Just put nothing or BS in the username and password fields for the gateway
if you are using IP auth on the other side like with alcazar...

If they don¹t 407 the gateway doesn¹t mind having the extra info
there...also keep in mind to set the caller id in from field setting on the
gateway
