That is not an error message, it is simply an informational message that indicates that the network access control list named "domains" was not matched by the incoming i.p. address, therefore FS resorts to digest authentication. (That is controlled by conf/autoload_configs/acl.conf.xml but I would save that for later before messing with it.) The only vars.xml that should exist and that has any effect is located in the parent "conf" directory. There are numerous files named default.xml so perhaps that's what you meant? To keep your sanity I recommend swapping the ports back to the way they were originally while you learn the many facets of FreeSWITCH. While you can change them, FreeSWITCH should work as shipped right out of the box (as your soft phone test demonstrated) and long-time users assume this configuration so it will be less confusing as other questions arise. Best success to you. Bote -----Original Message----- From: TF Sent: Friday, 13 February, 2015 14:33 Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Rejected by acl "domains". Falling back to Digest auth. Within FreeSwitch, within the vars.xml I swapped the port settings for the external_sip_port with the setting for internal_sip_port and the error message: * Rejected by acl "domains". Falling back to Digest auth.* went away. Again, since there are about 6 different vars.xml files in different sub-directories, it was a quessing game as to which one would be the correct one so as to implement the change, but I got lucky. I was able to go into my FS_CLI window and type: *sofia status* and confirm the various listening ports. Things are still not working, but at least that error message is gone. -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/Rejected-by-acl-domains-Fallin g-back-to-Digest-auth-tp7596145p7596147.html Sent from the freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _________________________________________________________________________
