Thanks for your unequivocal answer. FS was sent a HUP signal with `sudo /etc/init.d/freeswitch reload` with the standard FS apt-get install Ubuntu server 9.10. I now realise that this command was not reloading ${FREESWITCH_CONF}/directory/default/201.xml and I needed to do a restart instead. I can see that I need to get to the freeswitch command line (like *'s -r) for better configuring/debugging so I'll look into running FS in screen, hopefully without destroying the Ubuntu standard init script too much. Thanks. Your unequivocal answer made me do a lot more debugging :-) On 04/05/2010 17:48, Anthony Minessale wrote:

There is no such limitation did you do reloadxml and or restart FS after you changed the configuration?

Hi,

I'm very new to Freeswitch - I want to move from Asterisk to Freeswitch for my home VoIP switch.

In Asterisk sip.conf I have defined extensions like this

[201] type=friend username=201 secret=mypass <...SNIP...>

If I create ${FREESWITCH_CONF}/directory/default/201.xml starting like this:

<include> <user id="201"> <params> <param name="password" value="mypass"/> <...SNIP...>

and just change the server the phone connects to to be my new freeswitch server then the phone cannot authentcate:

2010-05-04 11:48:28.936358 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1030 SIP auth failure (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [201@10.0.0.10 <mailto:201@10.0.0.10>] from ip 10.0.0.228

But if I set the value element of the password param to a number and also change the password in the phone to that number then the phone will authenticate.

Does freeswitch only allow numeric passwords for SIP phones? I can't see a definition on the freeswitch web site for what is valid for a password, and all my Googling has failed too :-(

I'd _like_ to keep the passwords unchanged, but I can live with changing them if needed. I was just wondering if I missed something on the freeswitch web site.

Thanks in advance.
