Outgoing Authentication Protocol

Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for obvious reasons.
However, some vendor’s implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It will
disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is
stronger than specified. If you encounter the case where the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication,
please make sure that you specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.

Note: Generally, the authentication option is decided by the server hence, for outgoing calls it is not

necessary for you to configure this field except in cases where you are told by the remote server’s

operator.
