User Accounts

Purpose

Just like you specify Email accounts you may setup SIP user
accounts on the proxy. These accounts must always occur in the context
of a domain.
For example if you set up the account "bob" in the domain
"company.com", you could call that account with the SIP URL sip:
bob@company.com. If you specify alias names as well, you could call
bob also under these alias names without about having to register these
alias names as well. For example, you could set up bob.miller and bm
as alias and then what would also be reachable under the SIP URL sip:
bob.miller@company.com and bm@company.com. Please notice that user
names are case insensitive. if you set up alias names for the domain as
well, for example "company.net", Bob would be also reachable under the
SIP URL sip:bob@company.net, sip:bob.miller@company.net and sip:
bm@company.net.
Users may register more than one time with the proxy. When
a user agents registers with the proxy it also says all probable that
registration is. when the proxy is trying to find that account, it will send
out the request to all registered users, one after another if it is an invite
request. For more details, see below on sequential forking.
Sometimes that this behavior is undesirable, because you know
that there can be at most one registration. This is often the case if you
want to try registration with the user agents and that changes its IP
address constantly or if he register a device that exists only once (for
example, the fax machine). In this case you use a single registration.
Like with an e-mail account, you may specify credential
information with the account. This information consists of a user name
and a password.
name; however you may specify a different name if you want to make
authentication even more secure. The password is not transmitted directly
The user name is usually identical to the account
