remote user requesting port 8185

[Tony Graziano]

I was troubleshooting a remote phone (4.4). Once the phone (polycom)
checked the bootrom via ftp, it got really slow to respond. Puzzled I ran a
packet capture at the firewall and then checked the states at the firewall
where the sipx server is.

I saw the ftp session information, but then I saw port 8185 being requested
by the phone. I was puzzled and so I opened the port and behold, the phone
was "auto provisioned". Someone had miskeyed the mac address and in the end
the phone was trying to reach the provisioning service.

So my question is this... as I read through the tracker, I see port 8185 is
used internally for auto provisioning:

http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-6624

An example sipxprovision-config file would look like this:
log.level=NOTICE
log.file=/var/log/sipxpbx/sipxprovision.log
provision.profile.tftproot=/var/sipxdata/configserver/phone/profile/tftproot
provision.servlet.port=8185
provision.sipxchangeDomainName=ca.nortel.com
provision.username=~~id~sipXprovision
provision.password=RTbQJjuxrk
provision.configUrl=https://master.ca.nortel.com:8443

I am not sure this is known to work. I am just finding this out and other
people knew it? Does it need to be documented? If not, does it make sense
to use the provisioning service more transparently behind https in the
future.
