Hi Iqbal,
Thanks for the info!
I now have all SER users setup with numeric usernames, and have
asterisk reading from mysql, so updates are easy. I am still a little
concerned about the DIDs and alpha aliases. Maybe you can shed some
light on things...
What was the reason for putting your DIDs in a seperate table? I am
currently using the aliases table to store both alpha (softphones) and
numeric (DID) aliases. I am using SER's numeric SIP usernames for my
asterisk mailboxs/extensions. Is there anything I should be concerned
about with this setup?
One fear I have is that at some point my SIP usernames will be
confused with real world DIDs. For example, if I have a the SIP
username 3331234... If this number is actually a real PSTN phone
number, I can see this causing problems as SER matches the username
before looking up aliases.

I use numbers for all usernames in ser, and hence
voicemail boxes in
asterisk, makes it easier. All aliases are names, hence both work.
DID in separate table which is mapped to subscriber just like alias is,
hence I do two lookups, one in aliases and one in DiD_table, I was going
to drop aliases altogether , and may do in the future, but for those
using softphones it's easier.
As for updating get asterisk to read from mysql, and then when you add a
user simply create the voicemail entry in there.

who are using Asterisk for voicemail-only in their SER setup,
especially when it comes to planning username/extension/mailbox naming
schemes.
This is for a large-scale deployment (10K+ users) so I want to get it
right the first time. Many of my users will have DIDs tied to their
account while others will not.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to having alpha-numeric SER
usernames and using aliases for DID numbers?
I'm not sure if it matters, but we will be using a third party PSTN
provider and will need to support DIDs from multiple countries.
Also, are there any scripts available to automatically create an
Asterisk voicemail box when a new user is added to SER?
As always, your input is greatly appreciated!
