Hello Christian,
the new module looks very good. I will do complete review it next day
and talk with the contributor of auth_ldap to use your module as soon as
we get it in the trunk. Your module gets higher priority now as it
offers common LDAP API to be used from the other modules.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi all,
I am a member of the ITS Telecommunications R&D team at the University
of North Carolina, and we would like to contribute a new LDAP module
for the openser SIP server.
This new module implements an LDAP search operation interface for
openser and allows to import data from an LDAP directory into the
openser script variable space.
The following features are offered by this module:
* LDAP search function taking an LDAP URL as input
* LDAP result parsing functions to store LDAP data as AVP
* Support for accessing multiple LDAP servers
* LDAP SIMPLE authentication
* LDAP server failover and automatic reconnect
* Configurable LDAP connection and bind timeouts
* Module API for LDAP search operations that can be used by other
OpenSER modules
This is the first of two modules we'd like to contribute to the
openser project. The other module, called H350, is using the LDAP
module API in order to implement an ITU-T H.350 interface for openser.
H.350 is an emerging ITU-T standard that defines how SIP (and other
RTC protocol) account data is stored in an LDAP directory. We are
working together with other companies who are very interested in this
feature as well. The H350 module is not yet ready for contribution.
We are using these modules in production since about two months and
had no issues so far. Performance measurements have shown that this
LDAP interface is very fast. We could achieve better call rates than
with MySQL.
It might be worth to consider using the LDAP module API for other
modules as well, like e.g. the proposed auth_ldap. The LDAP module
handles all LDAP connection and configuration related issues, whereas
the module using the LDAP module API only has to care about the
specific LDAP search operation.
The source code of this new LDAP module is available at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1748544&group_id=139143&atid=743022
Please have a look at the code and documentation and let me know your
thoughts. We'd be glad to commit maintaining these modules for at
least one year.
thanks,
Christian
