[Serusers] outgoing calls with alias

[Ralph.Wabel at swisscom.com]

My only intention is to associate a phone number to a user so that the called PSTN will see the correct phone number instead of the main phone number of the number block. 
Isn't there an easy way to make a translation of the username to a phone number?
Or is for what I want to do the only way to make a radius server? Because it seems that for rpid you need to make a Sip-Rpid entry in /usr/local/etc/raddb/users

Thanks a lot

Ralph

p.s. @jiri sorry I thought my mail goes to the usergroup and not only to you :-)

that depends on what you wish to accomplish. For authentication, you can use
several database systems.

there is administrator's guide at SER webpage.

>>I have the problem that when I make an outgoing call over a Cisco Gateway to a PSTN phone. I've defined an alias for the user, works fine for incoming calls, but for the outgoing calls it shows always the number of the main number of the number block. When I make a debug I see that it goes out with the username instead of the alias. Here is my ser.cfg, maybe I've done something wrong in the config file. If someone could help me it would be great. Let me know if the config from the Cisco Gateway is also important.
