SIP in higher education

["Timothy P Shortall" <>]

Hello Prashant,

 

We are currently in the middle of a VOIP RFP.  I personally support the routing and switching for UMD, but understand that we are currently looking seriously at Kerberos as well so your suggestion is very good.

 

Regards,

Subject: [sip.edu] Kerberos based authentication for SIP

 

Hello All,

 

Recently I spoke to some of our customers and they said that SIP RFC 3261 not supporting Kerberos based authentication is a huge problem in the University environment since there is no mechanism in HTTP digest to get the the un-hashed password (token) back.

 

Is there a huge interest for Kerberos Authentication in SIP environment? If yes, I could work on a draft which proposes Kerboros based authentication scheme in SIP.

 

Thanks,

Prashant.
