• after setting up our extensions, we need users
  • SIP phones login to the server using name/password
  • define these at the end of sip.conf
  • [jeremy]
    type=friend
    password=jeremy
    context=linux3
    host=dynamic
    nat=yes
  • password is unencrypted in this file
  • nat=yes tells asterisk to ignore address info in the SIP headers, in an attempt to work around NAT
  • context is where the extension is defined (we already did that)
  • 'friend is matched on username for incoming calls, where peeris only matched on IP
  • Short answer: always use friend
