[Freeswitch-users] Problem with using mod_xml_curl at user authentication

18 Dec 2011

      Hello list,

I'm a newbie FreeSwitch user, trying to learn how 
mod_xml_curl works. I've done the basics things mentioned in FreeSwitch 
wiki pages about using mod_xml_curl. Now my plan to use mod_xml_curl for
 user registration. So, what I've done is - I wrote a server end 
application which reads POST request from mod_xml_curl and tries to find
 whether it's a valid post request (REGISTER) or not. If the request is a
 REGISTER request - then the application extracts the user id, domain. 
Then, it queries the database and extracts password and creates xml 
response. One of my sample response are like below (the following 
response has been taken from /tmp):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
 <document type="freeswitch/xml">
  <section name="directory">
   <domain name="192.168.0.108">
    <groups>
      <group name="default">
       <users>
        <user id="1100">
         <params>
          <param name="password" value="sakib"/>
         </params>
         <variables>
          <variable name="user_context" value="default"/>
         </variables>
        </user>
       </users>
      </group>
    </groups>
   </domain>
  </section>
 </document>

With above response, I didn't had any luck. It fails to register, with following response:

2011-12-18 14:51:29.253474 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:2446 Can't find user [1100@192.168.0.108]
You must define a domain called '192.168.0.108' in your directory and add a user with the id="1100" attribute
and you must configure your device to use the proper domain in it's authentication credentials.

To
 figure it out, I've tried in different ways too. Like, I've used the 
above response patterns to create a user under conf/directory/default/ 
directory, but didn't work. Then I tried the following xml response 
pattern :

<include>
  <user id="1003">
    <params>
      <param name="password" value="$${default_password}"/>
    </params>
    <variables>
      <variable name="user_context" value="default"/>
    </variables>
  </user>
</include>

with
 the above xml I manage to create a user and authenticate perfectly. 
But, I've modified my server end application to give a that kind of 
response, but didn't work though. I've copied the server response (from 
the content dumped under /tmp) to create an user under 
conf/directory/default/ directory - but it works. So, my question is 
what am I missing here? FreeSwitch tries to get the response from the 
server, it gets the response too, but somehow not interpreting the 
response (or something else?) and gives "can't find user" error. Any 
hint's , suggestion will be very helpful. (note, I'm not using any 
webserver here.)

Thanks in advance,
Rakib
