I suggest you also have a look at the Diax IAX based client. It is much easier to setup and as it used the IAX client there are far fewer problems running it remotely with firewalls and NAT.

Question
xlite client fails to authenticate to asterisk server
I just got asterisk running on my linux server and I'm trying to establish a connection with an xlite client on my LAN. When xlite attempts to log on, asterisk displays this error:
chan_sip.c:10879 handle_request_register: Registration from 'My Name <sip:2007@my.domain>' failed for 10.0.1.106' - User name / auth name mismatch
Following the O'Reilly book on Asterisk, my sip.conf file looks like this:
(the lan is nat'd, but the connection is internal - I'm not testing that part of the network yet, although my pix allows 5060 and 5004 connections)
[general]
context=default
srvlookup=yes
[2007]
type=user
secret=hello
qualify=yes
nat=no
host=10.0.1.106
canreinvite=no
context=internal
My extensions.conf file shows:
[internal]
exten => 100,1,Dial(SIP/2007)
exten => 611,1,Echo()
And my xlite log file shows this:

My xlite configuration looks pretty straightforward, but if you need I can send entries for that too. Let me know what's wrong, thanks.

Frabble I had tried that earlier and many more asterisk errors appeared. Here they are:

This time, after following your advice and changing the setting back to type=friend, I changed my account in sip.conf to show host=dynamic and xlite shows that I'm logged in.
Now I'm trying to make an actual call, starting with an echo test (all I get is a ring tone or a busy signal) but that's another question, wouldn't want to push my luck too far ;)
But before closing this one out, I'd like to understand why a dynamic host is key to sip authentication - it seems to me that it would be easier to authenticate from a static address than from a dynamic one, although it would be unusual to get incoming calls from fixed ips.
Here's my understanding of the references I could find ...
The configuration file uses common variables for the different client types. Type "user" is an entry for handling calls placed with Asterisk, type "peer" is an entry for Asterisk to send calls and type "friend" internally creates both "user" and "peer" types.
Usually the host value will be an IP address or FQDN of the client, however, to allow a peer to register (which is what you're configuring the X-Lite login settings and sip.conf extension settings for) the host value must be set to dynamic. It's a successful registration that provides the IP address/port that Asterisk uses to send calls for that extension.
Good luck with the rest of the configuration. I'm using AMP which hides all that stuff from me :)
You have to be sure that the host is even dinamic or your static ip address of the computer ur running xlite. The other thing i suggest u should double check is the username and secret. U probably should include a line defining the username for 2007 sip extension,in sip.conf
username = yourusername
and fill the requested field for the username in the xlite gui

Hi klukac
Under the extension header, use type=friend
