I found in the archives about how to preserve the original number when
using alias_db_lookup. I am still learning OpenSER, and AVP is a
challenge for me. I am looking for an example that I can use that can
save the $rU in an avp before the alias_db_lookup and restore it
afterwards.
Thanks

Hi Stagg,
I found in the archives about how to preserve the
original number when
using alias_db_lookup. I am still learning OpenSER, and AVP is a
challenge for me. I am looking for an example that I can use that can
save the $rU in an avp before the alias_db_lookup and restore it
afterwards.
You can do something like:
$avp(backup) = $rU;
If alias_db_lookup("dbaliases") {
xxxx
xxxx
} else {
avp_pushto("$rU","$avp(backup)");
}
Or whaever you need to do... just save the original uri and restore it
with the avp_pushto() function.
Regards.
Saludos

You can use $oU variable (also $ou, $od, $op...):

I guess where I am most confused is the interaction that AVP has on
the current message. Does AVP have the ability to rewrite the current
message URI before I use t_relay to send it to its destination? Is it
as simple as the following:
avp(s:$rU) = $oU;

The above is incorrent, you cannot do "avp(s:$rU), it makes no sense. An AVP
must have an intenger or string identifier:
avp(s:name1)
avp(s:name1)
avp(i:1)
avp(i:2)
But you cannot do:
avp(s:$rU) <-- Why it???
Anyway what I mean is that if you have modified RURI (maybe using
alias_db_lookup, lookup('location')...) you still can get the
**original**RURI via $ou, $oU... variables.
Example:
-------
RURI = sip:boby@domain.com
alias_db_lookup();
# Now RURI => 201(a)domain.com
$ou => sip:boby@domain.com
lookup('location');
# Now RURI => 201@99.88.100.123:5060
$ou => sip:boby@domain.com

Thank you Iñaki. Not only did I find that my syntax made no sense, I
also found that openser would not start because of it.
I believe that I have found my solution with your help. The below
syntax appears to be working with the results I intended.
alias_db_lookup("dbaliases");
if (!lookup("location")) {
...
}
}
else
{
avp_pushto("$ru/username", "$oU");
}
What the above does for me is that OpenSER can receive an invite from
one of my SIP providers. I can determine if the call is intended for
one of the PBX's that are registered to OpenSER and appropriately
route the call to the PBX that serves the number.
Thanks

Hi, first this complex syntax is not needed anymore:
avp_pushto("$ru/username", "$oU");
because you can just do:
$rU = $oU;
But anyway I can't understand why you do it. In your case, please re-read the
doc of "lookup" function. When you do:
if (!lookup("location")) {
that will change the RURI ****just**** in the case the original RURI is an AoR
existing in the "location" table, this is: that user is registered in
OpenSer.
But in the case it's not registered then the RURI ***won't*** be changed so
you don't need, at all, to restore the RURI.
Well, imagine an example with your code:
- There is an alias:
boby(a)domain.com => 201(a)domain.com
- 201(a)domain.com is not registered in OpenSer.
- Your code:
=> RURI = boby(a)domain.com
alias_db_lookup("dbaliases");
=> RURI = 201(a)domain.com
if (!lookup("location")) {
=> User not registered so RURI still is 201(a)domain.com and this block
is not executed
....
}
else {
avp_pushto("$ru/username", "$oU");
=> Now RURI = boby(a)domain.com
}
The question is: why do you need RURI being the original? it makes no sense
(IMHO).
Regards.

I will re-read the lookup function documentation.
The reason why I am having to do this is because in my particular case
I have many asterisk PBX's registering to OpenSER. When asterisk
registers to OpenSER it has a contact id in the REGISTER message of s(a)w.x.y.z
. After using alias_db_lookup OpenSER is using the contact id in the
To: field. When the message gets to asterisk, I cannot route it to
the correct extension, IVR, Queue because the message is being sent to s(a)w.x.y.z
instead of 5551212(a)w.x.y.z

Also, the other reason why I want to do this is because I have many
hundreds of DIDs that are assigned to many asterisk PBX's. I am
thinking that having asterisk register to OpenSER and then have the
DIDs as aliases to the registration credentials would be easy because
it's all contained in the database.
I'm so new with OpenSER that I don't know what the best way is, and I
don't want to bombard the list with all of my newbie questions. I'm
just trying to learn how to make it work, and then will come around
and refine what i've learned along the way.

Asterisk allows just one registration to a server. If you have two incoming
DID's then it's better if your Asterisk matches the "To" header.
In fact, I don't like using the "To" header for this purpose since it can be
different if it comes from a SIP already diverted call (so "To" is no one of
your DID's but the original destination has forwarded the call to some of
your DID's).
What I do is the following:
- When my OpenSer receives an incoming call from PSTN I convert the RURI to
E164 format:
RURI:
0034999000111 -> E164 = +34999000111
999000111 -> E164 = +34999000111
- Then I add a header to the INVITE:
append_hf("X-E164-Called: $rU");
- Then I do the db_aliases to get the AoR of the local user associated to that
E164 number.
RURI:
+34999000111 -> sip:user01@mydomain.com
- And later a lookup in 'locaiton' table to get the real location of the
registered user.
RURI:
sip:user01@mydomain.com -> sip:s@IP_ASTERISK
- After that I just do the "t_relay" to send the INVITE.
- When it arrives to Asterisk it must check the header "X-E164-Called" to know
which DID was called.
Regards.

New subject: [OpenSER-Users] Preserving original number when using alias_db_lookup
Hi Stagg,
This is a common issue when you have an Asterisk with multiple
extensions and a single registration to OpenSER. A trick you can do is
to save the username part of the RURI (the extension) and restore if the
location lookup (for registrations) was successful:
......
$avp(s:tmp) = $rU;
if ( !lookup("location")) {
# no location found
sl_send_reply("404","Not Found");
exit;
}
# registration found -> restore the username part
$rU = $avp(s:tmp)
t_relay();
......
Note that is is better to use an AVP (or a variable) to store the
username before the lookup, instead of using the $oU (original
username). Original username is the username that openser received from
the net, but you may consider that your script does other RURI
processing (like aliases) before the lookup("location") - so you need
the username value from before the lookup and not the received one.
Regards,
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, will any SIP UA allow a call if the RURI username doesn't match the
username in the "Contact" during UA registration?
Well, sure a PBX would allow it (like Asterisk), but what about single phones?
By my experience, most of the phone just allow receiving INVITE's for the same
RURI username as the "Contact" send by the UA in the REGISTER.

Hi Iñaki,
Most of the UAC will reject an incoming call if the RURI is not the
contact they registered - and I by contact I mean URI + URI params (like
SNOM encodes as contact param the line of the account)
But particularly talking about devices with PBX-like behaviour (with
multiple extensions behind some registration), it really does not matter
- there is impossible to force any relation between the contact (which
is one) and accepted RURIs (which can be for multiple extensions).

Bogdan
