[Freeswitch-users] Best practice for centralized user registration database

[Brian Foster]

I'd use LDAP. Unfortunetly mod_ldap does not look as if it is being
maintained, and from the looks of it the module needs a rewrite. So, use
your new/existing openLDAP server (every company should have), and there
are plenty of PHP examples on the interwebs to create a connector so FS can
talk to the database via XML (you could use mod_xml_curl on FS side).

It's a lot of work, but it's worth doing.
