Hi, Does someone have any idea/experience with Quintum DX radius server's support for digest mode authentication. The Access-Request packets sent by SER are getting an error back. Guide.

[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 :)

[Serusers] Carrier-grade framework for SER
by Andreas Granig 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi guys, I'd like to propose another possibility for a highly-available and scalable system design based on SER: The problems I've encountered for scalable systems are: - Distribution of the user location and alias location among the nodes (user location is based on registrations, alias location comes from web interfaces and is used for call forwarding). - Reloading up to date location tables after breakdown and recovery of a node So I'm just thinking loud about the following provisioning system: - Write a client which fulfills the this demands: - Receive one or more locations from SER via a SER module or from a web application and distribute them to other known clients. Take care of retransmissions if a client isn't reachable or reports a temporary failure. - Receive one or more locations from other clients and write them into the SER FIFO. If writing into the FIFO fails, try to write directly into the database (location-table, alias-table etc.). Report a temporary failure if this also fails. Maybe a centralized server should be used which receives the locations from the clients and distributes them to other clients, so that the nodes just know about the server and nothing about other nodes. This would make integration of new nodes easy. On the other hand, it's another single point of failure, so a decentralized solution should be considered. But that would mean that you've to inform every node about the existence of a new node. The protocol used between the nodes should be simple and fast. So I think SOAP drops out here. Maybe XMLRPC or ICE (http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html) could be used. One might think now why not just use replication on SIP layer, but t_replicate only supports one peer and you've no possibility to get locations on a node while it's down. Replication of other location tables like the alias-table is also not possible. I'd be willing to release these parts as GPL for creating an open framework for carrier-grade SER integration, so any feedback, improvements or flames are highly welcome. Cheers, Andy

[Serusers] Routing users to other SIP server
by KaveH Aasaraai 03 Aug '06

Hi, I was wondering how I can route my SER users to other SIP servers, without need of authentication to other server. I mean this: My User -> Auth -> My SER My SER -> Auth -> Other SIP Server My User --------make call--------> My SER --------route call-------> Other SIP Server Thank you.

[Users] Parallel ringing
by Andreas M. 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hello, how could it be done through AVP´s and database lookup, to do a parallel ringing. Following setup: If uri eg example(a)test.dom is called, this call should be forwarded in parallel to a pstn-gateway. That means, receive the AVP with the telephonnumber associated to uri example(a)test.dom, rewrite uri, rewrite host/port and forward in parallel to gateway. I tried "append_branch", but was not able to put in the AVP (phonenumber), rewrite host/port points directly to the gateway. I have no troubles to load the AVP, only to make is possible, that the SIP Client and PSTN Phone are ringing in parallel. Some suggestions ? regards, Andreas

RE: [Serusers] RTP proxy between two subnetworks with private @s
by Jose Soler 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi Joao, No I was not able to solve the issue. It seems (this is my guess tough) that the Portaone RTP proxy assumes that it has one public IP adress, so the valid configuration to use it is Public Nt-Private Nt. I was not able to make it work in other configurations (neiher I got feedback from Portaone to do so). Nevertheless the code is available, so it could be modified...as long as you have the time and will to do so. I did not ;).

Dear all, Does anyone know if SER (0.8.14) supports PRACK messages ? I want to know if it forwards them.I want to add in my configuration if(method==PRACK) {..} and I want to know if I can do that and if SER allows this configuration line. Best regards, Razvan
