I was wondering if any NoSQL adapters are available for Kamailio to do "subscriber authentication" backend?

I was looking at Mongo or CouchDB as two possible backends

Seems like these would be good candidates for Backends for Kamailio.

Any ideas on this?

at this moment, there are connectors for memcached and redis, which are nosql servers. They don't implement DB interface (to be a replacement for db_mysql module, for example), but offer config file functions to interact with nosql servers.

Then, for doing authentication, simply load only auth module, query the db server via config functions and get the password in a variable and use pv_*_authenticate(...) functions to achieve user authentication:

http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/auth.html#pv_www_authenticate

Of course, if you do the development of a new module to connect to such server, implementing the db api might be more convenient and then use auth_db module.

Btw, today it was announced availability in near future (see earlier messages on this list) of cassandra connector, I don't know if it implements db api or not, since it is not yet in the public repository.
