Re: [OpenSER-Users] Aliases table and db aliases

Thanks. But I don't understand the use of aliases table. I have defined some subscriber users, with username (like BOB) and password (BOBPWD). So, if I wanted to access the system, I would send a REGISTER message with correct username and password (authorization required). Then my proxy address will be "sip:BOB@IP_PROXY" and my Contact will be "sip:BOB@MY _IP_ADRRESS". These information are saved into USER LOCATION table (save("location") function). Now, through DB_aliases module and dbaliases table, I can define some aliases for BOB (like "sip:1234@IP_PROXY", etc...), so if an INVITE for bob has "sip:1234@IP_PROXY" as R-URI, with db_aliases_lookup() function I can rewrite R-URI with Bob's URI ("bob@IP_PROXY") and then call the lookup("location") function. But I don't understand how I can use the ALIASES table. Are there any example explaining its use ? Sorry.

"aliases" table is same as "location" table but it should be used to look for alias with the function lookup("aliases"). Of course, aliases are simpler than the complex location or aliases tables that manage more info about users, so in order to implement alias system in a simpler way the module ALIAS_DB exists and its table dbaliases. Note that dbaliases table is much simpler (it's just valid for aliases), Look at the module doc: http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.3.x/alias_db.html -- Daniel Grotti ________________________ e-mail : d.grotti(a)gmail.com
