 Re: using mac address as registering parameter in asterisk I believe you do not have access to the MAC address at the SIP [application] layer. Unlesss....are you talking about TFTP? --------------------- Jeremy McNamara PBX Phone Service      |

| Re: using mac address as registering parameter in asterisk If the intent is to authenticate SIP REGISTER message from phone, then Digest authentication is a better choice. Digest authentication can be enabled by setting secret in sip.conf. By the way, phone's MAC address will be available at Asterisk if both are directly connected on the same broadcast subnet. |

| Re: using mac address as registering parameter in asterisk Not sure if that is a good idea. In IPv6 there was a long discussion about exposing your MAC address as a "routable" address. There are just too many security issues associated with that, and it would be a bad idea to repeat the mistake in SIP. Interestingly, some Cisco phone versions register with a UUID that contains a lot of 0 and the MAC address of the phone. Maybe that is a security problem... |
