8.13 SIP Authentication Example
The gateway supports basic and digest authentication types, according to SIP RFC 3261
standard. A proxy server might require authentication before forwarding an INVITE
message. A Registrar/Proxy server may also require authentication for client registration. A
proxy replies to an unauthenticated INVITE with a 407 Proxy Authorization Required
response, containing a Proxy-Authenticate header with the form of the challenge. After
sending an ACK for the 407, the user agent can then resend the INVITE with a Proxy-
Authorization header containing the credentials.
User agent, Redirect or Registrar servers typically use 401 Unauthorized responses to
challenge authentication containing a WWW-Authenticate header, and expect the re-
INVITE to contain an Authorization header.
The following example describes the Digest Authentication procedure including
computation of user agent credentials.
The REGISTER request is sent to Registrar/Proxy server for registration, as follows:
REGISTER sip:10.2.2.222 SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.1.200
From: <sip: 122@10.1.1.200>;tag=1c17940
To: <sip: 122@10.1.1.200>
Call-ID: 634293194@10.1.1.200
User-Agent: Audiocodes-Sip-Gateway/TrunkPack 1610/v.4.20.299.412
CSeq: 1 REGISTER
Contact: sip:122@10.1.1.200:
Expires:3600
On receiving this request the Registrar/Proxy returns 401 Unauthorized response.
SIP/2.0 401 Unauthorized
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.2.1.200
From: <sip:122@10.2.2.222 >;tag=1c17940
To: <sip:122@10.2.2.222 >
Call-ID: 634293194@10.1.1.200
Cseq: 1 REGISTER

Server: Columbia-SIP-Server/1.17
Content-Length: 0
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="audiocodes.com",
nonce="11432d6bce58ddf02e3b5e1c77c010d2",
stale=FALSE,
algorithm=MD5
According to the sub-header present in the WWW-Authenticate header the correct
REGISTER request is formed.
Since the algorithm used is MD5, take:
The username from the ini file: M2K-AudioCodes
The realm return by the proxy: audiocodes.com
The password from the ini file: AudioCodes.
The equation to be evaluated: (according to RFC this part is called A1).
'M2K-AudioCodes:audiocodes.com:AudioCodes’.
The MD5 algorithm is run on this equation and stored for future usage.
The result is: ‘a8f17d4b41ab8dab6c95d3c14e34a9e1’
Next we need to evaluate the par called A2. We take:
The method type ‘REGISTER’
Using SIP protocol ‘sip’
Proxy IP from ini file ‘10.2.2.222’
