Hello, I'm new to openser and am trying to get things set up with OSP on freebsd (5.4, but I'm open to using another version).
I have one question and one suggestion:
Suggestion: the docs at http://openser.org/docs.php should point at the manuals present at iptel.org (Admin guide and Developer's guide). Without that info, there is an enormous gap in what one has to know.
In particular, 'man openser' says:
Full documentation on openser is available at http://www.openser.org/.
but, AFAICT, it's not "Full" without the critical foundation provided by these documents:
http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/seruser/seruser.pdf http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/serdev/serdev.pdf
Question:
The INSTALL for openser-1.0.1 says:
- default values (database url, users and passwords) are:
- DEFAULT_DB_URL="mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/openser"
- r/w user: openser ; passwd: openserrw
- r/o user: openserro ; passwd: openserro NOTE: for security reasons, do change the values of passwords after installation
Once the passwords are changed in mysql (using mysql directly), what is the best and complete way to let openser know about the new passwords?
The passwords seem to appear in openserctl and openser_mysql.sh. Are we really supposed to edit these scripts? Where else should we "record" these passwords?
Thanks, -mark

this docs are quite outdated and specific for SER, so they are not 100% relevant for OpenSER.

you need to change the db_url module parameters that need mysql access.

not necessary - you may use "rc" files in /etc/openser/ /usr/local/etc/openser/ ~/ names: .opensermysqlrc and .openserctlrc
for .opensermysqlrc you may define: DBNAME, DBHOST, DBRWUSER, DEFAULT_PW, DBROUSER, RO_PW
and for .openserctlrc SQL_DB, SQL_HOST, SQL_USER, RO_USER, RO_PW
