[Asterisk-Users] username option in sip.conf

[Anton Yurchenko]

Hello,


what purpose does the username option for a peer serves in sip.conf? I 
saw a mention the you could for example define an extension like:

[999]
host=dynamic
secret=blah
username=blah at foo

but this doesnt work like this. Asterisk writes that registration failed 
on the console, and ethereal shows 401 Unauthorized responce that * sends.
but it works like:

[blah]
host=dynamic
secret=blah

the park in [] is used as a username always. But that would need one 
more string in extensions.conf, to forward 999 to sip extension.

or am I doing something wrong. I use the latest CVS, this issue AFAIK 
has been the same since I`ve started using *.

Thnx,
