THE PROBLEM
A user gets a SIP User Agent (UA), either software or a device. How does that user configure it so that it can be used? Ideally, the user should just be able to connect the UA to the network where it is needed and it should configure itself.
CHARTER
The goal of the UA Configuration Task Group is to prepare a Recommendation that specifies a means by which at most the user must enter a username, password, and domain identifier to obtain the UA configuration. Where appropriate, the Recommendation should support deployments in which a unique UA identifier alone (without user credentials) is sufficient to obtain configuration.
In either case, the Recommendation should also provide for a notification mechanism by which a configured UA can be told that there is new configuration data available that the UA should retrieve and begin using.
A repository of UA Configuration Task Group documents and presentations has been created HERE.
STATUS OF THE WORK IN PROGRESS
The UA Configuration Task Group has submitted the latest draft of the User Agent Configuration Recommendation to the IETF as an AD-sponsored Internet Draft (ID). This draft is now currently in IESG review for ratification as a new RFC:
There are also two other IDs on which the specification depends that are already approved and in the RFC Editor's queue awaiting publication:
