Opal changes often its API and Ekiga does not work with latest opal. Abetter idea is that you try the development branch of Ekiga, which usesa much more version of opal, see "master/trunk (unstable branch)" athttp://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Download_Ekiga_sources.

Thanks Eugen, that gives me some place to look next. I'll go build the
latest Opal and go from there.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for your analysis.

Unfortunately, the only way to change this behaviour is to modify the
source code of opal, which is used by ekiga and takes care of SIP.

Perhaps this bug has been fixed in opal since Ekiga was released, but
currently there is no one working on Ekiga.

Best regards,
Eugen

New to Ekiga and trying to find a Linux client that I can use with my
company's SIP gateway (MetaSwitch).

Inbound calls work ok.

Outbound calls though do not work. After the initial INVITE our switch is
setup to answer back a '401 Unauthorized' after an initial INVITE. The
expected response would be that the client would send a new INVITE

without

reusing the TO tag provided in the 'Status 100 Trying' message. When the
second INVITE from Ekiga is sent, it provides authentication but it

reuses

the TO Tag.

When trouble shooting this with our VOIP engineers, they pointed me to

RFC

3261 8.1.1.2

A request outside of a dialog MUST NOT contain a To tag; the tag in
     the To field of a request identifies the peer of the dialog.  Since
     no dialog is established, no tag is present.

After Metaswitch answers with the '401 Unauthorized', it deletes the
reference to that TO tag and when Ekiga reuses it, Metaswitch can't match
it to any current session.

I've captured packets using Linphone and it behaves in the way our
Metaswitch is expecting, to not include a TO tag when sending the second
INVITE that includes authentication.

Is there a way Ekiga's behavior can be changed locally via configuration
file to either:

      1. Not include the TO tag on the second INVITE
      2. Include Authentication on the initial INVITE

Is/could this be a feature request that I need to submit vs. a bug?

Thanks.

-Sean
