[asterisk-dev] Asterisk LDAP res_config_ldap.c Bounty

[Faraz Khan]

Dear all,
In brief we need help in making res_config_ldap.c stable and fully  
functional. Code will be contributed back to Asterisk and we even  
intend (as a Digium Reseller) to work with Digium in having this code  
incorporated in the next ABE version so that it can interoperate with  
our product.

Details follow.

As of Asterisk 1.6.0-beta2 the status of res_config_ldap is as follows  
(as evaluated by
us):

1. extensions realtime: Simple (non pattern based) extensions work  
fine, but patterns are
not working (realtime_multi_ldap func is being called)
2. Queues realtime: ldap lookup works fine with Queues, but  
QueueMember lookup fails
(realtime_multi_ldap func is being called)
3. Voicemail works fine
4. sip peers work fine.

We need:
Priority 1: A fix for the above issues in Asterisk 1.6.x TRUNK for  
immediate use. We
think the culprit is the multi_ldap function being called). Complete  
stress testing of res_config_ldap.c under a heavily loaded PBX using  
OpenLdap 2.4 (Library and server).    Bounty: $1000

Priority 2: Backport of the code to the 1.4.X branch for inclusion in  
the next Asterisk Business Edition. We will work with digium to have  
this feature incorporated after the code in 1.6.x TRUNK is considered  
stable. This obviously makes sense only after the above task is  
considered stable. Bounty: $400

Please respond with timelines and a brief overview of past experience  
with Asterisk.

The existing asterisk 1.6.0-beta2 needs a simple patch to start  
working which we have
contributed at:

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12112

The same patch should work with TRUNK as the res_config_ldap.c file is  
unchanged.
