How to create md5 string for pjsip.conf

[proftech]

I have an endpoint that works fine with a plain text password. I would like to convert to md5. This is for outbound only. I checked with the ITSP and they said they support md5. I copied the auth section from the wiki:

[flowroute]
type = auth
auth_type=md5
md5_cred=md5string
username=1234567

But it doesn’t work. I’m trying to use the command “echo -n “STRING” | md5sum” to generate the hash.

1. Do I need to use a different utility to generate the string?
2. The wiki shows “username:realm:password” for input to the md5sum utility to create the md5 string. Is that the correct input? I’m unsure of what to use for the realm.
3. the wiki also shows a “realm=” directive for the auth section but does not show its use in the example??

One simple way to check what is realm value is looking into SIP/401 reply message sent from PABX to client that is registering.
