Hi all i'm planing to create a simple application interface to administer subscriber and alias data directly in the mysql db backend (i will use Andreas Granig's userloc-cl module). Looking at the mysql database that comes with ser, there seem to be a lot of fields in the subscriber and aliases table that are not needed by ser itself but only by serweb. Do i get this right? If so, is there any specification of the fields that are required by ser (incl. valid value range) so i know which fields i have to administer? Are there any fields needed by ser which i may not touch? If there is no such documentation, maybe someone knows and would be willing to place a few comments to the table listings below? Thanks a lot for your help! Kind regards Frank
The ones needed for ser, I'll comment (and what they're needed for as far as I know... please feel free to make corrections)
subscriber
phplib_id username(needed -- this is just as it says, the username someone registers with... either a word or a number) domain(needed -- this is the domain for that user. Multiple domains are supported, so SER needs a way of knowing which users to put with which domains) password (needed -- this is the plaintext password for the user) first_name last_name phone email_address(needed for things like SEMS in order to send voicemail... not otherwise necessary) datetime_created datetime_modified confirmation flag sendnotification greeting ha1(needed -- this is an md5 of the string "<username>:<domain>:<password>" needed if you're using digest authentication) ha1b (needed -- another md5 string... this one is "username@domain:<domain>:<password>" ) allow_find timezone rpid domn uuid aliases
username(needed -- this is the alias itself i.e. what someone would dial to get the original user) domain(I imagine it's needed for multiple domains, but no matter what I set my SIP_DOMAIN to, it's always blank on mine) contact(this is a SIP URI of the actual username which the alias maps to. sip:originaluser@domain.com ) received expires(needed -- a date in the past makes this permanent) q callid cseq last_modified replicate state flags(not sure what this is for or if it's needed) user_agent
The rest of those are all superfluous and not absolutely necessary.
