Authenticate Incoming INVITE

[AIC2000]

Hello,
When I setup an extension on FreePBX and on the phone enable "Authenticate Incoming INVITE" it works fine, however when I setup an extension on FusionPBX, when i enable the "Authenticate Incoming INVITE" setting it fails and doesn't authenticate, and rejects the call.

Is there a way to enable INVITE authentication using FusionPBX?

How is the phone authenticating the INVITE?

Using the auth ID and password - it just doesn't work with FusionPBX though and calls get rejected.

Looks like it would have to be a feature request. The extensions screen doesn't give the option. According to the FreeSWITCH wiki you would need to specify the parameters "reverse-auth-user" and "reverse-auth-pass" ; see https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/XML+User+Directory in section "reverse authentication"

Ah ok. Thats a shame!

Thanks for the pointer though

Why do you want to do this? I have never seen this asked?

It's a feature on Grandstream phones for increased security. You can only accept messages from configured proxies, but also authenticate them requests. It works fine with Asterisk! Strange it doesn't with FusionPBX.

Its an extra load on the server, I wouldn't want my server to do that.

I always assumed it was a best practice option to tick in the security settings, along with things like "Don't accept random calls from random IP's". I won't use it then

I always set my phones to only accept calls from the proxy but that should be enough.
