As this might be interesting for other users I cc'ed the list again.
Just to be sure: you know that their is no alias table any more, right? Alias
or not is just a matter of the flag value in the uri table.
In general there is no need any more for re-writting a request which was
targeted towards an alias. Request towards an alias are handled exactly the
same way as "normal" requests, because both will get the same UID value.
If you used the alias table for re-distributing the requests outside of your
domain, which is actually more a forwarding function then an alias, then you
could have this function as one (out of many) possible alternative(s) with
AVPs like this:
(Note: non-tested pseudo code)
lookup_user("$t.uid", "ruri");
...
if ($t.uid) {
load_attrs("$tu", "$t.uid");
if ($t.forwarding_target) {
attr2uri("$t.forwarding_target");
t_relay();
}
}

Thanks for the reply, Nils! I suppose I am a more of
a newbie than I first
appeared as your answer is a little over my head. What I am trying to do
with the new version of SER is what used to be done (in previous versions)
with
If (lookup("aliases")){
Route(1);
To redirect users based on a few entries in the aliases table. I won't be
using the SER server as a registrar or to handle dynamic user locations or
even authenticated accounts -- it will be open to the public without
authentication to access SIP accessible numbers and users. Mostly what I
want to do is just to route calls that SER receives (like john(a)iptn.org,
5555555555(a)iptn.org etc.) to the domain/uri that used to be accessed in the
aliases table (openser worked this way too).
Sorry for not explaining better and thanks again for your help!

I am coming over from OpenSER because I ran some

are easy to do. I have a working config with the 12/22/06 development
snapshot
of 0.10 but I would like to lookup aliases to
redirect inbound calls to
another domain. I filled in the domain table and the uri table with a
user
and I looked through the sample config but
can't seem to get it to work.
I
have also loaded the domain module, then the uri
module, then the avp and
avpops modules (among others).
Any idea what I might need to put in my route? This doesn't seem to work
(stolen from ser.cfg.sample):
if (lookup_user("$t.uid", "@ruri")) {
setflag(1);
route(1);
break;
};
from looking at your code snipset I'm not sure what you really want to
achieve.
In general you should just do the lookup_user and then examine the AVPs
afterwards. I think that it is easier then looking at the result code of
the
lookup_user function.
If you really want to distingiush if the call was targeted to an alias or
the
non-alias URI of an user then check for the AVP ruri_canonical. If it is
set
(to the value 1) the URI contained the canonical (=non-alias) URI of the
user.
If you just want to know if the URI is a know one and belongs to a user,
just
check for the presence of the uid AVP after the lookup_user call. If it is
present the user is know to the system under the value of the uid AVP.
Otherwise the user/URI is not known to the system.
Hope this helps
