Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to implement 1.6.0 with some ldap<br>
integration, but it's hard to figure out if I can do what I want.<br>
Basically I want to do only some lookup of values from ldap, as<br>
opposed to storing everything related to my sip users in ldap.<br>
<br>
For instance, would there be a way to lookup only certain context<br>
items from an ldap attribute in extensions.conf? Or in sip.conf?<br>
<br>
Something like this:<br>
<br>
<user.conf><br>
[6000]<br>
hassip = yes<br>
hasiax = yes<br>
userfrom = ldapattribute<br>
insecure = route<br>
secret = anotherldapattribute<br>
type = friend<br>
context = ldapattrib3<br>
<br>
<br>
It's looking to me like the way that ldap with 1.6.0 is meant to be<br>
used is more as a replacement for certain .conf files, like how odbc<br>
is used, and not really for referencing occasionally. I'm pretty new<br>
to asterisk so any guidance on this issue would be welcomed.<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe if I explain a little overview of my end goal someone can help<br>
me more efficiently.<br>
I have an ldap directory on an OSX server, I want to create asterisk<br>
extensions for all of those users based on the extension, name, and<br>
password held in the ldap database. But I do not want to store<br>
whole .configs in ldap.<br>
<br>
Any ideas on how to go about this would be great.<br>
<br>

<br>1. I would provide Asterisk its own LDAP directory and synchronize it with entreprise directory as I think it should be simpler to synchronize 2 LDAP directories than coordinate Asterisk and Active Directory evolutions.<br>
<br>2. IMHO, many people are confusing SIP secrets (from sip.conf) which somehow authenticate hardware with user passwords which authenticate persons. I wouldn't try to make those 2 values equal.<br><br>3. Asterisk's LDAP directory should be the reference for anything related to telephony. Changes could be automatically propagated from Asterisk to corporate directory.<br>
<br>4. Corporate directory should be the reference for user management. Changes should be manually propagated from corporate directory to Asterisk as I don't believe it could be easy to allocate nor free telephony resources whenever a user is created or deleted in corporate directory.<br>
<br>Hope this helps ...<br>
