Would it be possible to include an example of the exact error message? I admit I'm not familiar with this one.

Ben,
Here is what I did from the AHN console
Adhearsion::OutboundCall.originate 'IAX2/[email protected]'
And Asterisk gave back:
chan_iax2.c:11243 socket_process_helper: I don't know how to authenticate
4443 to 184.75.215.106

So this is where we get into a grey area. The problem you're seeing comes from the fact that you dialed an IAX URI, rather than a preconfigured peer. If you had a peer definition in iax.conf and called it by name (eg, dial "IAX2/4443@peer"), you would not have received that error. The same would be true of SIP, though it's very probable that the error message is different. My feeling on this is that we either need to go into (potentially a lot) more detail regarding best practices for Asterisk config, or we need to refer the reader to documentation that explains these nuances. I lean toward the latter, if it can be found.
