Description

It was noticed through a misconfiguration of upstream PBX at congress that osmo-sip-connector does not handle a 401 response from upstream.

In this case the upstream was responding with a 401 to our BYE.

osmo-sip-connector just terminates it's own leg anyway, leaving the other leg hanging.
granted, there's not a lot to be done from our side if upstream SIP stubbornly refuses to hang up, but we should probably handle this (what do RFCs say?) and indeed have some kind of credential system in osmo-sip-connector.

that sounds like a bug.

The assumption so far was that osmo-sip-connectors is not used directly with user-agents
on the remote side, but that it's always some SIP trunk. It was my understanding that
user/password based authentication is only used for UAs? If it's also commonly used with
sip trunks, then we should implement at least the most common authentication method[s].

random notes...

  • digest authentication should be used these days, no basic authentication
  • SOFIA-SIP supports digest authentication, see auth_digest.h
