Hello,
Kamailio is used a lot in enterprises. Apart of the media processing
services (e.g., voicemail, audio conferencing), kamailio offers all
needed in an enterprise, including instant messaging and presence.
It still seems to be unclear for you where is the problem with Kamailio
and M$ directory or other existing user authentication systems. Let me
rephrase: the problem is in the specifications of SIP, respectively in
the user authentication mechanism required by this protocol.
SIP requires www-digest authentication mechanims. www-digest
authentication requires that password is stored in clear text or in HA1
format. Maybe reading the page at next link puts more light:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication
Now, the devices are the problem, because they can authenticate to the
server only using www-digest. Kamailio cannot do anything alone.
Alternative to www-digest authentication is to use ssl certificates.
That is fine for Kamailio, but not many sip phones support it.
Hope is more clear now. Kamailio is as friendly to enterprises as it is
for carriers or operators. It is nothing that can be done more to run in
enterprise environment.
Cheers,
Daniel

Don't get me wrong... Kamailio is just a great product as it is.
Actually I think it does much more than it would be necessary as a
carrier grade software. My idea is to have more people involved
discussing the "enterprise" issues and possible solutions for problems
like the one I described. The "impression" that I have is that
Kamailio's community is much more devoted to the "carrier" side of the
software than to the use of it on enterprises.

http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users So my next question is: is it there on the
Kamailio community anyone
willing to work on a "Kamailio Enterprise Edition"?
what do you mean by such an edition? do you want to integrate asterisk
like pbx capabilities to k or what? if so, my understanding is that
most k folks want to keep them separate and just connect ip pbxes to k
like any other sip uas.
