SIP 200 OK vs 438 Invalid Identity Header
SIP 200 (OK) is a 2xx Success response, while 438 (Invalid Identity Header) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 200 indicates that the request has succeeded. For INVITE, the call has been answered. For other methods, the action has been completed successfully. In contrast, 438 means that the server obtained the certificate from the Identity-Info header but the signature in the Identity header is invalid.

Cuándo lo verás
When the cryptographic signature in the Identity header does not match the message content, indicating possible tampering.
Cómo solucionarlo
Regenerate the Identity header with a correct signature. Ensure no intermediary is modifying signed headers after signing.
