asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Fromuser required but overrides SetCallerID

Hi all,

I have an asterisk box connecting to a SER instance for outbound
(termination) calling. In order to authenticate with SER it seems that
I have to use "fromuser" in the sip.conf in the peer section for the
SER connection - with fromuser set I can make calls, without it I get
a "Forbidden - wrong password on authentication for INVITE" error.

The problem is that setting fromuser in the sip.conf overrides
anything that I have set in the dialplan with SetCallerID. How do I
work around this?

TIA,
Max

You convince the operator of the SIP proxy to accept your caller IDs and
only authenticate on the digest auth user.
