[Serusers] how can I look up the username in the location table?

[Dana Olson]

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't sure about the URI and the To/From
thing. I looked at the packet and when you register, the username is
in both To and From. I guess I mistook the URI for that or something.
Thanks for your clarification on that.

I'm trying to limit the number of people using each username to a
single person at a time. I read the mailing list of people trying to
do this before me, and everyone, including Jiri, didn't understand why
someone would want this.

Well, I have a bunch inbound agents logging into my SER proxy with
softphones, receiving calls from an AudioCodes Mediant 2000 (T1 <->
SIP) that is getting calls from an Avaya PBX. These inbound calls have
to go to whoever is logged in as that agent name, and only to them. We
can't have multiple people logged into the same name, because each
name corresponds to a certain phone number on the Avaya PBX. I hope
this makes sense. It's not really a normal SIP application in this
sense, which is why I need to remove the ability of a normal SIP
application.

I'm using the latest stable release of SER, and can't be putting
anything less into production. I know that the next release has the
max_contacts option, but until it goes stable, I don't have a green
light to use it.

I'll look into the avpops module, as I haven't really heard of it until now.
