Title: User-Agent ID
Post by: IPInstaller on April 21, 2016, 06:00:08 AM

Hello.

Does anyone know if there is a way to alter the  SIP properties of a 5000/HX to change "User-Agent: Mitel-5000-ICP-5.1.0.46" in SIP messaging?

Many thanks.

I don't believe so... Why would you want to?

There are certain RFC's and industry standard accepted guidelines for what the User-Agent field must be which Mitel follows... Is there a problem?

Hi acejavelin.

Just looking at this from a security angle.

If a hacking attempt saw this, they would then be aware if the make, model and version of system they are attempting to access and use known methods for that system.

Any thoughts welcome.

True, although I have not heard of a case of this occurring... It is using an industry standard format, to my knowledge it cannot be changed. Sorry.

IPInstaller,

There are some SIP Proxies (?) out there that can change "customize" the User-Agent field, but I am sure that setup would not be supported my Mitel.

Thanks,
