[asterisk-users] IAX2 variable sharing

[Richard Lyman]

TP'n to follow broken flow.

As i stated, you must use a 'user to user' (friend) as the iax2_user 
structure has struct ast_variable *vars, the iax2_peer (and 
iax2_trunk_peer) do NOT.

Therefore you cannot pass *channel variables* when using peer-user 
setups, only user-user setups.

Which means, you must setup both sides as user (which 'friend' on both 
sides will do).

There are associated security issues with this setup (which is why is it 
not advised), especially when you do not fully understand this interaction.
(which you appear to not understand)

I have visually confirmed this is still true in up to asterisk 1.4.19
