Hi Richard,

just as an add on - note that TM accepts the custom timeout values both as integer and string. So, for this particular case, you do not need to convert to value - just load it at auth time. also be sure to correlate the AVP names in tm and authdb.

Hi,

I am trying to use load_credentials modparam in auth_db to load some colums in the subscriber table. In mysql db table, what type should I use the columns? For example,

modparam("auth_db", "load_credentials", "i:15=timeout")

If I define timeout as varchar, it gets the value. If as int, it doesn't generate the avp.

Is this supposed to be this way? Do I miss anything?

at this moment only string values can be loaded via load_credentials. You can use avp_copy() to convert from string to integer afterwards. Ability to load int values should be introduced in the future.

Hi Richard,

if you try to do automatically conversions, you run in several troubles: 1) first, some scripting error may be overlooked in case of differences of avp value types; with no error/warning to user; 2) to which type should you convert? to string or to int? to try first int and if not possible to string? Quite unreliable...;) 3) will complicate a lot the function...since you can apply this idea to other functions, not only to avp_check().

Thanks both for the tips.

Besides timeout value, I also need to use avp_check with "and" operator. The function complains about incompatible value if the avp is a string value. It would be nice to convert the value automatically and do the "and" operation.
