[Freeswitch-users] mod_ldap

[Anthony Minessale]

That's what I was trying to explain.

The xml files comprise a compiled xml registry document where all of the 
meta data for FreeSWITCH is stored.  

There is a way for a loadable module to bind to various sections of that xml
document so when something tries to access the document the loadable module's
function is called giving it the opportunity to generate the xml on the
fly.  mod_xml_curl is an example of this.  It can bind to one or more sections
of the xml registry and when the user directory or the dialplan is accessed,
the module will perform an http request to a cgi on a webserver with all
the relevant data of the request and that cgi can return the exact portion
of the xml document in place of the static version making it possible to
make both purely dynamic.  My suggestion in my last email was that 
you could either use this or create the equivalent module that does
an ldap request and converts it to xml on the fly.

Ok, maybe to rephrase my question a bit....is there a way to use
realtime databases, or maybe via radius to get the data for the users
or dialplans, instead of using xml files.... if there is can someone
write the procedure, and if not let me know if ppl are interested to
see such implementation, and I can probably start writing , or
somebody's acctually working on it?



Thanks in advance...

  mod_ldap
is a plugin for the directory interface abstraction.

Basically the directory interface is a clone of the ldap api but

can have pluggable modules to use other means such as sql of providing
the data.  The only thing that uses this interface is

  

mod_dialplan_directory which is an example dialplan that uses

the directory interface.

  

This may start to sound confusing so keep in mind the ldap

api is called the "directory interface".

  

There is also the "xml directory" which is a section of 

the FreeSWITCH virtual meta xml config registry. This is 

where the domains and users are kept.

  

To use ldap for this a module similar to mod_xml_curl would have to be
made called mod_xml_directory that would allow the "directory
interface" to generate xml when the "xml directory was queried"

  

Basically, you would create a blank xml object then using 

the param strings passed to you make an ldap query via the 

directory interface that matches what is being looked for.

then as you get results you take the data and create tags into

the xml object until it's fully populated and return the object to

the caller.

  

If this seems like too much, you can also use mod_xml_curl to do

a CGI request to your web server then take the params and do the ldap
conversion from there and send back a text representation of the xml.

Hi everyone,

  

since I can't find any info's regarding mod_ldap, I wonder if anyone 

made it work...and if can somebody wrote something about it on the wiki
  

or on the reply for this mail... I would really like freeswitch to use 

ldap for users and dialplans, just till yet I didn't managed to make it
  

work.

  

Thank you all in advance.

  

J.
