Hello
I have to do a test for AT&T where the Display Name set on the phone
is forwarded with the outbound Invite to the ITSP. However, I notice
that sipXproxy seems to drop the display name when forwarding.
Attached is a merged and filtered trace (I filtered the relevant
sections using sipx-trace ).
Notice that in Frame 17 the INVITE has the display name "user six" in
the From header. However notice that in Frame 19, the display name is
dropped. Not sure if I should I be setting the display name
elsewhere. If this is a possible bug, I can file a report.
The display name was removed because you had configured a caller alias.
You can tell because the Record-Route header has a fromalias attribute
in it - this can be decoded using the sipx-readroute script:
sipx-readroute
Record-Route:

The 'caller' attribute is the original caller url, and the 'alias'
attribute is the value it is replaced by.
The CallerAlias authplugin takes the value from its IMDB table and uses
it as a full url, replacing only the 'tag' value.
Apparently, sipXconfig won't let you enter a full URL value in the
alias, but if it would, then you could control any part of the url sent
in the aliased call except the From tag.
Not sure why sipXconfig has this limitation. But if it's just an overly
eager error checking that should be easy to remove.
There is a JIRA issue on it:
