[Freeswitch-users] Authentication of SIP phones against LDAP directory?

[Kevin Long]

Hi Stanislav,  thanks for the response.

Even if I do need some separate attributes, plaintext or A1 hashed,  does the functionality exist in Freeswitch to do the authentication from LDAP from these attributes?

My goal here is to run Freeswitch via Docker, because I intend to deploy it many, many times for small groups of users in an ephemeral way.  So the configuration files, including the users extensions etc,  would not be permanent and need to be generated on-the-fly when the instance is booted up.


If there is another way people are doing this kind of thing,  I would love to know.  


Thanks again,

Kevin Long
