The function expects two parameters, the first one is the name of the table ("location" in your case) and the 2nd parameter is AOR (Address Of Record), the XML-RPC request should look like this: <?xml version=\"1.0\"?> <methodCall> <methodName>usrloc.show_contacts</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>location</string></value> </param> <param> &lt;value&gt;&lt;string&gt;jan(a)iptel.org&lt;/string&gt;&lt;/value&gt; </param> </params> </methodCall> Here is how you could find out what parameters does the function expect: Open ul_rpc.c and lookup function rpc_show_contacts. The function contains the following code at the beginning: if (rpc->scan("SS", &t, &aor) < 0) return; Function scan reads and parses the parameters. In this particular example you can see that the function expects two string parameters (hence double S in the formatting string) and from the name of the variables you could guess that the first one is the table name (well, t is not very descriptive, I admit), and the 2nd one is AOR.

I think I have figured out why it would only accept location or aliases as a valid table.

Doing a userloc.statistics returns to me those two specific table names listed as a member of domain.

Is it possible to add other tables under the accepted domain structure?

As for show_contacts I have run several more tests, but I still have not managed to get anything other than errors. I have manually added an entry into locations with the following data +-----------+--------+-------------------------+----------+---------------------+-------+-------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-----------+-------+-------+---------------------------------------+ | username | domain | contact | received | expires | q | callid | cseq | last_modified | replicate | state | flags | user_agent | +-----------+--------+-------------------------+----------+---------------------+-------+-------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-----------+-------+-------+---------------------------------------+ | 271nv1001 | | sip:271nv1001@localhost | NULL | 2020-05-28 21:32:15 | -1.00 | 3653736-e3498618-a7aa0347@localhost | 42 | 2005-08-15 16:07:31 | 0 | 0 | 0 | PolycomSoundPointIP-SPIP_500-UA/1.4.1 | +-----------+--------+-------------------------+----------+---------------------+-------+-------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-----------+-------+-------+---------------------------------------+ I still get an AOR error when I try the following AOR's in my XML query. <value><string>271nv1001</string></value> <value><string>271nv1001@localhost</string></value> <value><string>sip:271nv1001@localhost</string></value> <value><string>3653736-e3498618-a7aa0347@localhost</string> Those seem to be the only logical choices for the AOR. Why would it still be returning an AOR not found?

Jan, Thank you for your explanation, it has really cleared up a lot of my questions. I am confused on one point, where you said "location" should be the value that I am using. Are there a set number or only a specific few tables that will be accepted by this call? When I use location I get the XML reply <value><string>AOR Not Found</string></value> which is expected, because my "location" table is empty. When I switch "subscriber" for "location" I get the following reply <value><string>Table Not Found</string></value> That is perplexing since we both know that suscbribers is there. Looking at the library itself I have been able to determine that I will get this sort of reply when the system cannot find the domain. ul_rpc.c (lines 374 - 403) rpc_find_domain(&t, &d); if (d) { ... }else { rpc->fault(400, "Table Not Found"); } Why does the system find a domain for "location" but not for "subscriber"?
