Description:In a Dial() statement, if I do not specify a username the Asterisk server seems to pick one at random.

e.g. Dial(IAX2/peer/${EXTEN}) will dial using the peer alright, but it will choose a random username...  I have had names like uGJREldiDc and even the user "iaxtel" which is odd because that username does not occur anywhere in my configuration files.

Can we either get * to spit out an ERROR, or to use the 'username' field in the peer configuration (again, ERRORing if it doesn't exist) instead of pretending to do something useful?

Maybe thats how it was designed to work.  Properly configure it with a user@

If you don't specify a username, the remote side will choose one on your behalf based upon any entry it selects that matches criteria.  Always specify a username if you want one.

Interesting.  Thank you for that explanation, markster.  Is there a place to log things that should go into the documentation (handbook) ?  What are the criteria that the remote end uses to match up the connection?

By design. Specify user@peer
