[asterisk-users] Registrations stops after 403 FORBIDDEN

[Jonas Kellens]

Hello list,

I have in sip.conf :


/maxexpiry=60                 ; Maximum allowed time of incoming 
registrations
                                 ; and subscriptions (seconds)
minexpiry=60                   ; Minimum length of 
registrations/subscriptions (default 60)
defaultexpiry=120              ; Default length of incoming/outgoing 
registration

;----------------------------------------- OUTBOUND SIP REGISTRATIONS  
------------------------
registertimeout=240             ; retry registration calls every 20 
seconds (default)
;registerattempts=0            ; Number of registration attempts before 
we give up
                                 ; 0 = continue forever, hammering the 
other server
                                 ; until it accepts the registration
                                 ; Default is 0 tries, continue forever/


When I register to my SIP provider and this provider sends a 403 
FORBIDDEN as SIP response, then Asterisk stops registering.

I thought that with "registerattempts=0" Asterisk will keep on sending a 
REGISTER untill the other ends accepts it ?

To be clear, my SIP provider sometimes rejects a registration but that's 
a bug in their system at the moment. So I need Asterisk to try multiple 
times until the providers's system accepts it. It happens often and at 
the moment I notice too late that the number is not registered to my SIP 
provider. While if Asterisk keeps on trying, the registration will 
finally come through again.


So are my settings wrong ?


Kind regards,
Jonas.
