- At the time of user calls somewhere, we (after checking its auth
data) rewrite its URI using custom plugin for OpenSER (which utilizes libsqlora8 library). It's not a rocket science, and (in simplified form) it looks like the following:
Is libsqlora8 working with latest API libs from Oracle?
Yes. We use it in conjunction with Oracle 10g.
When I checked the project looked dead.
I would say that libsqlora8 is finished :) - it works well and therefore doesn't need to be updated.
From 1.4 on, there is a dedicated driver for Oracle. Have you tried it? I wonder what is the maturity of that module.
No, we haven't tried yet.
I don't know if this has been discussed earlier but it would be nice to point some key requirements for a system supporting prepaid users and possible solutions to those requirements. I think several of us is doing the same things so, we can benefit from other experience and may be we can find a pattern (of course not perfect and "fit all") for this problem using open source alternatives.
I am talking about something like this:
- How to store and retrieve user category (postpaid, prepaid, etc). LDAP, Radius, SER groups?
- Callflows
- What IVR to use for user notifications (no credit, etc) and user balance check? Asterisk, SEMS, etc?
- How to enforce call tear down when credit is exhausted? What B2BUA to use?
- How to manage recharges?
Etc, etc.
