No. The server you register with can often be different to the one you 
pass calls to so keeping them completely separate makes a lot of sense.
You can put the authentication information in the dial command itself 
but that is generally not a good idea because it can expose the username 
and password to other applications which integrate into asterisk or when 
viewing the asterisk console.
