tim, patrick,
SSO is a hot button for large orgs/corps... have heard it bantered for
years but no solution. I have seen a product that had a small utility
on windows that transmitted login info to a linux box. it was in every
users profile so upon login, the transaction was completed. I have
also seen cable testers that can find a break in a cable but how would
you find out which pc is next to what phone is beyond my current
visualization capability :)....
what I could invision is a) the above 'on login' utility handling
login name and ip address, or b) a web based login utility handling a
user login and current extension. and both with a table lookup with a
few fields:
user login id (static)
extension (static or updated via web login aka I am at this extension)
PIN (optional)
fname (static)
lname (static)
skill (static)
ip addr (updated automatically)
timestamp (at login) zero if logged out
and yes, it is an interesting idea... I don't require it now but I can
see a need for it and will probably require it at some point in the
future...

Thanks for the info Trevor. Was your proof
of concept also with Windows
PCs or *nix PCs? I haven't played with realtime yet so I might be in
for
a bit of a learning curve.
This was just on Linux user stations with a simple bash script that
send a request to a web server. The web server did the rest based on
the PC's IP address and user's username.
Might be a bit harder to do on a Windows based network with DHCP on the
workstations !
One way to try it would be to look for a service all PCs register for
already.
If you have a central fileserver I'd go for that.
The SNMP mib for windows (NT and upwards) lets you query things like
logged-on username, client IP address - and MAC addresses.
So you poll that, work out which user is on which MAC address (hence
PC)
then you just need a map that finds the nearest phone to a given MAC.
Use that to update the realtime database.
Sounds like a fun project, shame I don't need it !
