asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Is it possible to register without sending the password?

Hi List;

I noticed that if I disabled secret in the context by
placing ( ; ) before it, then at the asterisk the log
will be:

-- Registered SIP 'bilal_sip' at 0.0.0.0 port 5060
expired

The IP address of the endpoint was not captured!!!
Why?

If secret enabled, then some endpoints can not
register (maybe due to compatibility in reading the
negotiation packets), so what is the solution?

Also in SIP registration: why I do not see the log for
registration packets periodically while I can see this
in IAX2? Is it related to my v tracing level?

Last point: I noticed that some endpoints that are not
able to register (when secret is required), then I was
not able to see any log at the asterisk side while SIP
client still not registered. At least, it should
display the fail for registeration, why does not
display it? Is it related to my v tracing level? Where
in the same tracing level, I am able to see the
registeration fail if the endpoint sent an wrong
username. For example if the context was [bilal_sip]
and the endpoint username was "bilal_1000" then I see
a the message (log) that declare that registeration
from bilal_1000 failed (ofcourse because bilal_1000 is
not configured while bilal_sip is configured in the
sip.conf).

Any help?

I'm sure they can. Maybe you could tell the list which
endpoints don't work?

Probably. How about you try with more vvv?
If you *really* need to see what's going on you might add
"verbose"
and "debug" to the "console=>" entry in logger.conf. But
that's
probably not what you want.

Could you send the part of your sip.conf? Sounds like a
configuration issue.
