[Users] Mbuni: getting MSISDN from Cisco AS5300 access server
Hello Users!
Here is the story. I`m working in mobile telecommunications company.
We are using Kannel WAP and SMS gateway for serving our customers.
For some newer phones we also run squid http-proxy. WAP-aware phones
are served by our dedicated Cisco AS5300 network access server.
A few month ago we decided to run Mbuni MMS gateway. Almost everything
works good, but one problem: MSISDN! By default, incoming MMS messages
are signed with IP-address of sender, not the MSISDN. It is unacceptable
for us.
Mbuni expects special http-header (X-WAP-Network-Client) to be set by
Kannel.
This header contains user MSISDN. The Kannel configuration, in its turn,
must
be RADIUS-aware. So, Kannel get`s MSISDN from the RADIUS server and passes
special http-header toward Mbuni.
Looks fine? But what about some newer phones, which use squid instead
of Kannel`s wapbox? Squid is unable to set a magic MSISDN header for us.
May be there is a better way to solve this problem (e.g. see Mbuni
detokenizer
library), but I have my own. It consists of three pieces. They are
1. Patch for Mbuni 1.0.0
2. Tiny perl script with RSH Cisco commands
3. Snippet of Cisco configuration to work with Remote shell (RSH)
The main idea is very simple. Suppose that WAP-phone is currently
connected to the Cisco.
# show call calltracker active
This Cisco command shows active calls.
Command output (phone numbers are changed):
-- call handle= 2154 --
status=Active, service=PPP, origin=Answer, category=Modem
DS0 slot/port/ds1/chan=0/0/0/1, called=123, calling=123456789
userid=wap, ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, mask=0.0.0.0
setup=09/27/2005 15:01:59, conn=0.10, phys=22.77, service=36.59,
authen=36.59
init rx/tx b-rate=33600/31200, rx/tx chars=193160/1155850
resource slot/port=1/47, mp bundle=0, charged units=0, account id=0
idb handle=0x61EED7E8, tty handle=0x619C4C84, tcb handle=0x0
We see that user with MSISDN '123456789' called the number 123.
User IP-address is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. This is exactly we want: mapping
between IP-address and MSISDN!
Using this patch, Mbuni will run RSH command 'show call calltracker active'
to find MSISDN of a user with a given IP-address.
To run RSH commands on Cisco you need something like this:
=8===
no ip rcmd domain-lookup
ip rcmd rsh-enable
ip rcmd remote-host Cisco_user aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd mbuni enable
=8===
First lines are used to enable RSH on Cisco.
Last line permits RSH for user 'mbuni' from host aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.
Cisco_user is a valid user on Cisco NAS.

Good luck!

Re: [Users] Mbuni: getting MSISDN from Cisco AS5300 access server
Alexander,
This is very welcome indeed and am sure a lot of people will find
it handy.
I would suggest the following: This more properly fits within the
detokenizer module framework. That is, one needs to add a library
that one can call. It's arguments (passed in config file) would
include the the path to the script, etc.
The only gap so far is the detokenizer module is not being sent the
client IP. This is easy to add (I shall do so in CVS). Your patch
would then be an additional module (much like mms_detokenize_shell)
that would do what you describe.
