1.1. Usage Basics 1.2. LDAP URLs The LDAP module implements an LDAP search interface for Kamailio. It exports script functions to perform an LDAP search operation and to store the search results as Kamailio AVPs. This allows for using LDAP directory data in the Kamailio SIP message routing script. The following features are offered by the LDAP module: * LDAP search function based on a LDAP URL * LDAP result parsing functions to store LDAP data as AVP variables * Support for accessing multiple LDAP servers * LDAP SIMPLE authentication * LDAP server failover and automatic reconnect * Configurable LDAP connection and bind timeouts * Module API for LDAP search operations that can be used by other Kamailio modules The module implementation makes use of the open source OpenLDAP library available on most UNIX/Linux platforms. Besides LDAP server failover and automatic reconnect, this module can handle multiple LDAP sessions concurrently allowing access to data stored on different LDAP servers. Each Kamailio worker process maintains one LDAP TCP connection per configured LDAP server. This enables parallel execution of LDAP requests and offloads LDAP concurrency control to the LDAP server(s). An LDAP search module API is provided that can be used by other Kamailio modules. A module using this API does not have to implement LDAP connection management and configuration, while still having access to the full OpenLDAP API for searching and result handling.
