SIP Authentication methods available? Ramon F Herrera 02-07-07

I have an AS-5300 used by several SIP phones (mostly through Asterisk)
to dial from VoIP-land to POTS-land. My current "authentication"
method is rather draconian, poor and inflexible: I just played with
the routing tables to make sure that the only phones that can have IP
connectivity with the voice gateway are those in certain subnets.

Now, I would like to move up to something that provides better
granularity. I understand that Radius is an option? There is also an
md5 digest authentication method which may or may not be supported by
the Cisco gateway?

I am guessing that another (very inefficient) solution would be to set
the 'canreinvite=no' option in Asterisk, thereby forcing it to be in
the middle of all calls. That would work, right? This solution really
sucks.

Can somebody knowledgeable discuss and/or point to some documentation
on this topic?

TIA,

-Ramon F Herrera

ps: my phones are Linksys/Sipura. Tips on configuring them for
authenticated calls are most welcome.

Most Cisco gateway can support MD5 digest authentication. If you have
a MS-windows platform, maybe you can try miniSipServer. It is also
support this authentication and very easy to use.
