Hello there!<br>
<br>
I was having a look on alternative ways to handle SIP users
authentication other than local/static and through ARA when I found
ticket <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=5424">"https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=5424"</a>.<br>
Unfortunately this ticket was put on hold since 2007.<br>
<br>
I found other people with similar needs than mine, that is a way to
make Asterisk use external means (mostly some sort of server) to
authenticate SIP users, and it seems that it could be usefull to IAX
users as well.<br>
<br>
The question is: Why has this ticket got abandoned? Not enough people
interested? Not enough people/time available to handle it?<br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards,<br>
<br>
