Kamailio UAC – Remote Registration Enhancements

The UAC module is a user agent that you can use to transmit any SIP message. It also includes functions to let Kamailio register SIP accounts in other SIP servers and route the call back to Kamailio. During the summer several enhancements was added to the UAC module in the trunk code and we need help testing it!

Several commits where pushed lately on GIT master branch to enhance the handling of remote registrations with the UAC module. Among them:

• uac.reg_info – rpc command to get the details of a remote registration record using filter on uuid, local/remote/auth username
• uac.reg_enable and uac.reg_disable – rpc commands to enable/disable registration of a record from memory at runtime, without restarting kamailio
• uac.reg_reload – rpc command to reload remote registration records from database (avoid restarting when adding new records in database)
• uac.reg_refresh – rpc command to load a record from database based on l_uuid. If record is already in memory, then the password field is updated, otherwise a new full record is added in memory

We are asking people using this feature to give it a try! Please test the UAC module from the master branch and report the issues to mailing list <sr-dev [at] lists.sip-router.org>.

You can read more details about the new features in the readme of the uac module:

New YUM-RPMs Repository for Kamailio

Courtesy lod.com (sponsoring the hardware and bandwidth), Fred Posner/Palner Inc andAsipto.com for helping with configuration and maintenance, we got a server located in USA to use for the project. Main purpose for now is using it as a RPM repository, available as rpm.kamailio.org.

The server takes the packages from open suse build service, making a local mirror. It is not yet automated, but should happen in the future (anyone that can help here with some script, is more than welcome to join the team) — anyhow, we generate the rpms only at stable releases.

The mirror should be usable as an yum repository or individual package download via http, more details at:

• http://rpm.kamailio.org

We are asking interested people in the community to give it a try and report eventual issues to mailing list .

Also, if you build packages for other distributions, we can mirror them on the server — get in touch to setup the process.

The annual Cluecon conference, an event focused as usual on open source telephony and real time communications, starts soon in Chicago for the 10th edition, during August 5-7, 2014.  Make sure you meet Kamailio developers and users if you attend the conference!

Expect many from our project environment to be there speaking or in audience. Also, be sure you don’t miss Alex Balashov, from Evariste Systems and member of Kamailio project management team, who will give a presentation with tips and tricks about Kamailio on the 6th of August at 15:30.

Definitely an event one should attend, giving the opportunity to get in touch and learn updates from developers of other popular open source projects such FreeSwitch, Asterisk, Jitsi or Kazoo. Also, take the chance to connect with friends of our project from Truphone, Simwood, Ziron, Star2Start Networks, 2600hz or Aeriandi. Security is a hot topic (as always), Phil Zimmermann and Alan Johnston will be there to discuss the challenges and possible solutions.
