[Freeswitch-users] CURL directory issue

6 Aug 2009

      Afternoon All

I wonder if someone (perhaps even the illustrious intralanman) could help me out with a problem I am experiencing with a CURL directory.

In the interests of understanding how the mechanism works, I am using a super-braindead php script to return info about a specific set of users. I plan to move to something more sophisticated once the proof of concept is complete, possibly based on intralanman's scripts.

The basic problem is that all works fine (boot, register, voicemail etc), except that user's <variables> seem not to be being read correctly, eg 'toll_allow' and 'user_context'. Here's a typical user XML message I am returning:

<document type="freeswitch/xml">
  <section name="directory">
   <domain name="pbx.redmatter.com">
    <params>
      <param name="dial-string" value="{presence_id=${dialed_user}@${dialed_domain}}${sofia_contact(${dialed_user}@${dialed_domain})}"/>
    </params>

    <variables>
      <variable name="record_stereo" value="true"/>
      <variable name="default_gateway" value="$${default_provider}"/>
      <variable name="default_areacode" value="$${default_areacode}"/>
      <variable name="transfer_fallback_extension" value="operator"/>
    </variables>

    <groups>
      <group name="default">
        <users>            <user id="1009" cidr="172.30.99.0/24">
               <params>
                 <param name="password" value="$${default_password}"/>
                 <param name="vm-password" value="1009"/>
                 <param name="vm-email-all-messages" value="true"/>
                 <param name="vm-attach-file" value="true"/>
                 <param name="vm-mailto" value="1009@redmatter.com"/>
                 <param name="vm-keep-local-after-email" value="true"/>
                 <param name="vm_message_ext" value="mp3"/>
               </params>
               <variables>
                 <variable name="toll_allow" value="domestic,international,local"/>
                 <variable name="accountcode" value="1009"/>
                 <variable name="user_context" value="default"/>
                 <variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="Extension 1009"/>
                 <variable name="effective_caller_id_number" value="1009"/>
                 <variable name="outbound_caller_id_name" value="$${outbound_caller_name}"/>
                 <variable name="outbound_caller_id_number" value="$${outbound_caller_id}"/>
                 <variable name="callgroup" value="techsupport"/>
               </variables>
             </user>        </users>
      </group>
    </groups>
   </domain>
 </section>
</document>

I return this kind of message in all cases except the (sip_auth_method=="REGISTER") request message where I return

<document type="freeswitch/xml">
  <section name="directory">
    <domain name="pbx.redmatter.com">
      <user id="1007">
        <params>
          <param name="password" value="1234"/>
        </params>
      </user>
    </domain>
  </section>
</document>

Also it's probably worth mentioning that I have removed all trace of xml from conf/directory and I don't believe there is a conflict happening there. 

The phones register correctly. The trouble is they don't operate on the correct dialplan context (I fixed that by hardcoding the internal gateway to dialplan default), but the 'toll_allow' variable is now not working so that outbound calls fail, which is what made me think that the user variables are being ignored.

Freeswitch version is 1.0.4, built by me and running on a dell 1950 running Centos 5.3 x86_64. HTTP application is running on standard Centos 5.3 apache/php.

Any ideas gratefully and humbly received.

All the best
Jim
