SBC 1000/2000.

  • After the initial INVITE from the Mediation server, 
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    (UA) sends an INVITE request to the ITSP proxy server (UAS).
  • Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
     then receives 100 Trying and then 401 Unauthorized request from the ITSP proxy server.
  • Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    , acting as a UA, then re-sends the request and authenticates itself by including an Authorization header field with the request.
  • The Authorization field value consists of credentials containing the authentication information of the UA for the realm of the resource being requested as well as parameters required in support of authentication and replay protection.
  • The Realm, Username and Password information are taken from the Remote Authorization Table entry based on the username that is provided by the realm provided by the UAS.
