Configuring Linphone with Encryption
If you decided to use SIP TLS - call encryption along with Linphone please follow these steps:
1. Make sure your Main account or sub-account has "Encrypted SIP Traffic" enabled.
Bear in mind, if this setting is enabled and your device sends UDP/TCP or RTP you will be rejected with error code 488.
Enable this setting for the Main Account at Main Menu>> Account settings>> Advanced tab.
For a sub-account enable it at Sub accounts>> Manage sub-accounts by clicking on the orange icon with a pen and finally click at "Advanced Options (Click here to display)".
2. Now that your account/sub-account has this setting enabled, your Linphone needs to send TLS and SRTP.
- Fill in the information according to your account.
- Append the port 5061 to the server. (E.g. atlanta1.voip.ms:5061)
- On the option Transport select TLS.
- Click on the menu that is on the top right corner and click on Preferences.
- Click on the tab Call and Chat and enable "SRTP".
