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

[William King]

mod_xml_ldap is on a list to be rewritten. Currently there are 3 main
ways to solve this issue: mod_xml_curl, or mod_xml_radius or direct
pgsql access. There is another method that involves (re)generating the
static xml files, then calling reloadxml.
