LYNC - SIP "413 - Request entity too large" error to SUBSCRIBE requests

2.2k views Asked by At

I'm currently trying to federate two Lync domains with one custom SIP proxy in the middle. The problem is that the Lync server will reply "413 - Entity too large" to subscribe requests (msrtc-adrl-categorylist) coming from the other Lync domain after passing through the proxy.

However, when I sent a similar message with SIPp, a SIP emulator, the subscribe is accepted even though it went through the SIP proxy.

The two messages are much alike. The proxy adds a record route and appends an ID at the end of the From tag. It doesn't get its hands on the body.

The difference of content-length is because SIPp adds a CRLF at the end of the body, which Lync doesn't.

I cannot see anything wrong with the request. The following messages were logged on the Lync Edge of the destination domain.

Does someone know what can trigger this error? The error message is not really of great help here ...

I finally managed to spot the problem.

The Lync server store the "Dialog ID" which is the "Call-ID" + "From tag" + "To tag". By appending some extra data at the end of the "From tag", the size of the "Dialog ID" exceeded its limit size.
