asterisk users - Dec 2009 - realm authentication

Hello List;

Anyone can advise how realm authentication method is working? I mean, where to
create the SIP username and password and where to create the realm that will be
used for the authentication method for registration?

Any help?

Bilal

You want something different than sip.conf?
AFAIK it's all in there. And what you name "realm" should possibly
be a
"context" in asterisk language.

Or did I get you wrong?

Actually yhe best one who answered me before is xavimes, but did not understand
well his explaination, so I am still searching and need a help.

The realm is like a domain and it is used for authentication, this kind of
authentication is used when we are going to register from a wireless phone (like
nokia mobile and so on), it gives more security.

Well, the client software on the mobile is SIP, but how to setup at Asterisk the
username and password under the realm domain, and how to setup the domain name,
I am not able to know until now and I am looking for help.

Any help?

I wrote below what xavimes wrote for me:

Have you set the realm in the sip settings in the mobile? Default one is
"asterisk" . It's important too, defining Registration to
"Always on", because if not, it doesn't enable the wifi
connection. Finally, don't enable compression and security
