Hello,
Kamailio is used a lot in enterprises. Apart of the media processing services (e.g.,
voicemail, audio conferencing), kamailio offers all needed in an enterprise, including
instant messaging and presence.
We've done quite a lot of enterprise-style
installations and also integrated with LDAP. As Daniel patiently have repeated, there is a
problem with the
authentication so we can't simply use LDAP authentication, but have successfully
implemented LDAP-based authentication in many places.
Do you have any other concerns or ideas on what we can do in the enterprise sector?
We're quite open on discussing it.
/O
It still seems to be unclear for you where is the problem with Kamailio and M$ directory
or other existing user authentication systems. Let me rephrase: the problem is in the
specifications of SIP, respectively in the user authentication mechanism required by this
protocol.
SIP requires www-digest authentication mechanims. www-digest authentication requires that
password is stored in clear text or in HA1 format. Maybe reading the page at next link
puts more light:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication
Now, the devices are the problem, because they can authenticate to the server only using
www-digest. Kamailio cannot do anything alone.
Alternative to www-digest authentication is to use ssl certificates. That is fine for
Kamailio, but not many sip phones support it.
Hope is more clear now. Kamailio is as friendly to enterprises as it is for carriers or
operators. It is nothing that can be done more to run in enterprise environment.
Cheers,
Daniel

Don’t get me wrong… Kamailio is just a great product as it is. Actually I think it does
much more than it would be necessary as a carrier grade software. My idea is to have more
people involved discussing the “enterprise” issues and possible solutions for problems
like the one I described. The “impression” that I have is that Kamailio’s community is
much more devoted to the “carrier” side of the software than to the use of it on
enterprises.

http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users So my next question is: is it there on the
Kamailio community anyone
willing to work on a “Kamailio Enterprise Edition”?
what do you mean by such an edition? do you want to integrate asterisk
like pbx capabilities to k or what? if so, my understanding is that
most k folks want to keep them separate and just connect ip pbxes to k
like any other sip uas.
