Registering with digest authentication, but empty password. How?
Hi all, This is going to sound like a weird problem. I'm trying to test a SIP trunk from a vendor that requires registering with digest authentication, but an empty password, and I don't know how to specify the empty password in my profile. If I configure my sofia profile like this "<param name="password" value="boguspassword"/>", the vendor gives me a 407, so I know that they need that empty password. If I configure it like this: "<param name="password" value=""/>", Freeswitch complains that "[ERR] sofia.c:2703 ERROR: password param is REQUIRED!". So is there any way to configure the profile with an empty password? Thanks, Bob Hartwig
You can't digest auth without a password... What exactly are you trying to do? On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 4:24 PM, Bob Hartwig <bobjectsfreeswitch@gmail.com> wrote:

Botnets that scan the net looking for insecure VoIP servers are extremely common. You'll probably get one trying the door once every couple of days. Given that, allowing access to your server with an insecure password is an *extremely* bad idea. If they want to digest auth, then they should be using a proper password.

Agreed. I told you it was a weird problem - digest auth with an empty password really doesn't make much sense, especially over the Internet. I'll let them know that we either need a real password, or to use IP auth. Thanks, Bob Hartwig On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 2:22 AM, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:
