Issues with Out of Dialog OPTIONS and NOTIFY when extension name includes domain

Hello all,

Im experiencing a strange issue with PJSIP OPTIONS (Qualify) and NOTIFY. It seems that whenever I have an endpoint which includes a username and a domain, “gordon@arkafort.com” for example, SIP OPTIONS and SIP NOTIFY fail as per below;

Endpoint: gordon@arkafort.com Not in use 0 of inf

[2021-05-28 15:35:50] ERROR[26173]: res_pjsip.c:4396 create_out_of_dialog_request: Unable to create outbound OPTIONS request to endpoint gordon@arkafort.com

If I change the endpoint name to the username, “gordon”, SIP Options and SIP Notify messages go through. (Only the endpoint name is changed, same Auth, same AOR and same transport).

Endpoint: gordon Not in use 0 of inf

rtc1*CLI> pjsip send notify snom-check-cfg endpoint gordon
Sending NOTIFY of type ‘snom-check-cfg’ to ‘gordon’
(Phone receives NOTIFY)

Any help would be immensely appreciated!

PS: Some time ago I had already created another topic on the same issue, however this was before I tested extensively to pinpoint the issue. Unfortunately I was unable to work on the issue before and the thread got closed, but I am including it as a reference.

There was an issue for this [ASTERISK-28393] Multidomain support issue - Digium/Asterisk JIRA which had a fix merged 2 days ago. It is not yet in a release.

Thank you very much!

Have a great day and a nice weekend.

Hello, I have updated asterisk to version 18.5. Options now work as expected, thank you. However I still have an issue with NOTIFY as follows;

ERROR[2613]: res_pjsip_outbound_authenticator_digest.c:450 digest_create_request_with_auth: Host: ‘XX.XX.XX.XX:ZZZZ’: There were no auth ids available

Am I missing anything configuration related now? Ive tried various options to no avail.

Thank You,
Gordon

As an update, I have disabled check-cfg authentication on the phone and it worked since I was getting 401.

Can and should NOTIFY messages be authenticated? If so, how can this be achieved as authenticate_qualify does not seem to impact this (Provided my understanding is correct).

Thanks again
