SIP 100 Trying vs 438 Invalid Identity Header

SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 438 (Invalid Identity Header) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 100 indicates that the request has been received by the next-hop server and an unspecified action is being taken to process it. The UAC should expect additional responses. In contrast, 438 means that the server obtained the certificate from the Identity-Info header but the signature in the Identity header is invalid.

Mô tả

The request has been received by the next-hop server and an unspecified action is being taken to process it. The UAC should expect additional responses.

Khi bạn thấy mã này

Immediately after sending an INVITE. The proxy has received the call and is searching for the callee. This is the SIP equivalent of a dial tone.

Cách khắc phục

No fix needed — this is normal call setup behavior. If stuck on 100 Trying for too long, check network connectivity and proxy configuration.

Mô tả

The server obtained the certificate from the Identity-Info header but the signature in the Identity header is invalid.

Khi bạn thấy mã này

When the cryptographic signature in the Identity header does not match the message content, indicating possible tampering.

Cách khắc phục

Regenerate the Identity header with a correct signature. Ensure no intermediary is modifying signed headers after signing.
