SIP in higher education

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla <>]

Hello,

somehow related to the conference I participated last autumn regarding 
openser, I should mention that global AVPs were not added in upcoming 
1.2.0, but the usual AVPs (per transaction)  can be used in 
onreply_route -- the feature requested by many and the main driver in 
the past to look at adding global AVPs.

Most of the other features in TODO list at that moment are in place 
right now: SRV-based failover, IP blacklists, SIMPLE presence&XCAP, SNMP 
and substantially improved config scriping via script variables and 
transformations:

In my opinion, interesting for sip.edu deployments might be the new PERL 
module -- this is an interface to execute embedded Perl scripts. It is 
similar to AGI interface in Asterisk, so one can have access to many 
internals of OpenSER in the Perl script, as well as to different 
functions that can be used in openser config file. Could be good for 
your LDAP checks/operations. The module already includes kind of LDAP 
connectivity library -- see more at:

http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.2.x/perl.html

Alternative, but not that flexible, is exec_avp() from exec module which 
can be used to execute external application and return the result lines 
in AVPs.

ETA for 1.2.0 is March 12 (testing started at beginning of February), by 
then a page with detailed new features should be available on project's 
site.

Cheers,
Daniel
