Open Issue: Registration Authentication
•Clarifying registration examples raised a question about 3rd party registration authentication.  RFC 3261 in Section 10 talks about To URI instead of From URI for authentication
•
•Proposal:  Support these two modes:
•
•REGISTER
•To: <sip:HelpDesk@example.com>
•From: <sip:HelpDesk@example.com>
•
•Bob will need to have the credentials for HelpDesk when challenged.
•
•REGISTER
•To: <sip:HelpDesk@example.com>
•From: <sip:Bob@example.com>
•
•And when challenged, Bob provides his credentials.  The Registrar is provisioned to allow Bob to register against HelpDesk and everything works.
