[Serusers] ser-0.9.6: modules/postgres bugreport & patch
by Alexandre Snarskii 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi! I'm running ser-0.9.6, on FreeBSD 6.1-stable, database backend is postgresql version 8.1.3. Today I got errors in logfiles, saying: messages.2.bz2:May 29 14:35:03 <XXX> /usr/local/sbin/ser[51448]: ERROR:avpops:dbrow2avp: dbrow contains NULL fields The similar problem reported in: http://lists.iptel.org/pipermail/serusers/2005-May/019681.html with much more detailed description of error, database contents and config samples. Patch is trivial, and looks more like a fix to copy'n'paste error: in mysql/val.c function str2val states: if (!_s) { memset(_v, 0, sizeof(db_val_t)); VAL_TYPE(_v) = _t; VAL_NULL(_v) = 1; return 0; } VAL_NULL(_v) = 0; and the last line mentions that 'well, that's value is not NULL'. In postgresql/db_val.c, line 182, function str2valp, the same statement is the: if (!_s) { DLOG("str2valp", "got a null value"); VAL_TYPE(_v) = _t; VAL_NULL(_v) = 1; return 0; } without explicit notification that this is not-NULL value. More than, nowhere else in this function VAL_NULL(_v) not set to 0. So, if a value _v.val contained anyting but 0 at the function start, resulting value will be threated as NULL despite the fact, that _s is NOT NULL. Patch is obvious, just add VAL_NULL(_v)=0; after cited block (line 188) and everyting will be ok. At least for me it's ok for some hours :)

[Users] bug in radiusclient ng for 64b
by Stuart Clark 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hello, I have a 64bit machine running openser 1.1.0, and wish to log radius accounting details to radius using the acc module and radiusclient-ng. I am facing issues talking to a freeradius server, as described at: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=7442&group_id=1208 Basically, the server reports: Error: Received Accounting-Request packet from w.x.y.z with invalid signature! (Shared secret is incorrect.) I have updated to the cvs version of radiusclient-ng, but the problem still exists. It would appear that the md5 routine is not compatible with the md5 routine used by the freeradius software. Just wondering is anyone else has worked their way around this problem.

[Users] OpenSER administrator issue
by Pat wang 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hi, Just managed to install the new openser administrator and everything just works. Thanks to Mike for this nice application. However I can't add user with openserctl anymore. The following error appears: ERROR 1054 (42S22) at line 1: Unknown column 'phplib_id' in 'field list' ERROR: introducing the new user '5702' to the database failed On the other hand, adding new users from administrator GUI does not have this problem. This happened right after installation of aministrator so I think it is related to the administrator mysql table changes. Any suggestions please? Thanks, Patrick

[Serusers] SER server as a client
by jk 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hello List, I am working on an assignment to develop a load balancing asterisk cluster. I started with google and found out that SER+ASTERISK is the best way to do it. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a sip account / DID (18xx xxx xxxx ) from an abc company. Now the company is gateway for between my asterisk server and PSTN network. My Asterisk server registers with abc company's gateway to receive and make calls. How can I do load balancing in this case. I understand that my SER server should register with the gateway, the gateway should forward call to SER server and then the server should forward call to one of the asterisk servers. Is it possible have the SER server register with another SER or Asterisk server and act like a client to receive and make calls? Can some one please point me to some documentation or case study? Thank you, -JK

[Serusers] Re: How to change Caller ID in FROM field ?
by lawrence k.y. lin 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi all, Appreciate if someone can give me a suggestion or even an answer. Since the call from SIP device to PSTN phone did not have Caller ID and our Telco carriers request for the Caller ID, we have to set a number before the calls are routed to PSTN gateway. I did it in Asterisk before with the function calls SetCallerID(CLID) or Set(CALLERID(number)=CLID) (depends on the Asterisk version) and these function calls worked. But because of the scalabliity issue, I changed to SER and would like to do the similar thing as in Asterisk. I read the SER document and awared SIP_HF_FROM has the data for the entired FROM field. Is there any other variables for Caller ID only ? I searched the mailing list for SER and did not find any related topic (only found one with title: caller-id with raius using sip-rpid, but it is irrelevant). Thanks in advance.

[Serusers] append_rpid_hf() replacement in CVS-HEAD
by Hendrik Scholz 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hi! append_rpid_hf() was removed from CVS in 2005 with the following note: "Rpid support dropped, it will be implemented using AVPs." Is there a standard way of implementing this? OpenSER utilizes avp_printf() for this which isn't part of SER: http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@openser.org/msg02248.html What is the Best Current Practice to add the Rpid header? If there is none I'd help implementing something new since I'm already tackling some Rpid to P-Asserted-Identity transformation things. It would also be handy to add the privacy tag according to another AVP (although I'm not using it).

[Users] forwarding requests...
by Frogger 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

I am trying to forward requests so that the request is completely gone and the UA is forwarded to the final destination with no signaling from the forwarding system. For example: "5551212@" would be forwarded to 1.1.1.2 but 1.1.1.2 would not get a redirect request from 1.1.1.1 rather, directly from the UA. Any thoughts? Thanks!
