<p class="MsoNormal">Registrations work by the client sending a REGISTER to the server, which returns 401 to challenge and client resends REGISTER with the authentication details.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The register has an expiry time. To remain registered the client must reREGISTER within this time, and each REGISTER has its own 401 authentication (to prevent replay attacks).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What you're seeing is a log message each time the registration is renewed. That's why you still see it even though FS is apparently idle.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The log message really is only informative. It logs at WARNING level so that you can use fail2ban while only logging serious messages so you don't get massive log files.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">FS will log both the initial REGISTER/401 then at the 2nd REGISTER whether it succeeds or fails. Both are required to detect bots looking to break into an insecure or DDOS a SIP server, since the client might never send the 2nd REGISTER.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are not using fail2ban and want quieter logs, set the log-auth-failures param to false on the relevant Sofia profile. Add it if it doesn't exist.<o:p></o:p></p>
