I guess you can use other modules such as http_client
to interact with the
web service. The jansson module can be used to parse the result.
Also, it should be possible to do it without interacting with the web
service, because you can compute the password using the shared secret key.
So, in this case, Kamailio doesn't need to interact with the web service.
Thanks for that, and to Carsten who also sent explanation.
It seems like all that documentation about the web service is indeed a
red-herring since the module is neither a client nor a provider of such a
service. There is no obligation to implement such a service as documented
- since in any event auth_ephemeral neither implements nor consumes this
web service.
All auth_ephemeral does it to authenticate clients using a secret
(password) that is encrypted using a shared key. auth_ephemeral I guess
decrypts the secret which is structured so that auth_ephemeral can tell
that it is legit and unexpired.
Do I have this right?
Gotta say that the docs really don't make this clear.
Thanks,
Steve
