[asterisk-users] Authenticating SIP user in LDAP database instead of SIP.conf file

[Anthony Francis]

You will need to extend your schema to include all of the attributes 
that can be used in sip.conf plus the extra ones that allow realtime to 
store connection information. Please refer to the realtime info at 
voipinfo.org to get a feel for what your schema should look like.
