David, 

The "is_from_local" function is just what I needed. It will allow me to 
decipher whether or not the user appears local or not, and authenticate them if 
so (ie: a subscriber), or check their IP if not (ie: from my gw). 

Thanks!

It depends on your configuration. 

You can place it before or after. 

Because you dont want to authenticate inbound calls, you can have a simple if 
statement that checks if the user is not local and alias exists, then relay to 
that alias. 

Not real code: 

if(not_from_local){ 
if(alias()){ 
relay; 
} 
}

Hi David, 

As far as I can tell, the alias module is independent of how the call is 
authenticated. My understanding is that it will look for a replacement URI 
based on the current one, and replace if a new one is found. It appears as 
though this "function" would go into the config file somewhere after the 
section I'm working on now. 

Is my understanding correct? 

I'll need some way to determine if this is an inbound call (i.e.; not 
originating from a subscriber's phone) prior to mapping it to the alias module. 
Also, I'd like to determine if the incoming call is from my PSTN gateway and 
give different aliases than if the call was a SIP URI call.

Hi Brett, 

The common practice is to use the alias module for inbound routing. 

You can look at the docs for its usage, but essentially you can map DID's to 
local users.

Hello! 

I have an OpenSIPS 1.6.3 installation that is working well. I have subscribers 
registering to OpenSIPS, and they can dial between each other and outside of my 
domain (to my media servers and to the PSTN). All is well. 

I am now beginning to write the configuration that will process inbound calls - 
meaning calls from non-subscribers. This will include calls from the PSTN 
gateway, as well as direct SIP URI calls to the OpenSIPS subscribers. For 
example, a person can call 515-555-1212 from a regular phone, and the call will 
come to OpenSIPS as an un-authenticated call from my PSTN gateway. Also, I'd 
like to accept SIP URI's for incoming calls. For example, calling 
[email protected] from a soft phone might route the call to subscriber 
A's phone. 

The code I have that applies to this is: (This is currently configured to 
authenticate all outbound calls from subscribers only.) 
# authenticate if from local subscriber 
if (!(method=="REGISTER")) { 
if (!proxy_authorize("", "subscriber")) { 
proxy_challenge("", "0"); 
exit; 
} 
if (!db_check_from()) { 
send_reply("403","Forbidden auth ID"); 
exit; 
} 

consume_credentials(); 
# caller authenticated 
} 

I am looking for direction on how to expand this to determine if the call is A) 
from a subscriber calling outbound, B) inbound from the PSTN, or C) inbound 
from any other user calling my SIP URI's. Once I am able to determine this 
information, I'll be able to route the call appropriately within the rest of my 
scripts. 

My problem is that my SIP phones usually attempt to place calls without 
including authorization in the header (because they are registered already), 
then OpenSIPS replies requiring proxy authentication. The SIP phones will then 
try the call again including the credentials in the header, which works. How 
can I re-write this section of code to allow inbound SIP URI calls and calls 
from my PSTN gateway, while still asking my subscribers to authenticate? Or, is 
there a method that might work better? 

Notes: 
- Each of my PSTN gateway's has a static IP. 
- It's safe to assume a single-domain setup (mysipdomain.com). 

Thanks in advance!
