I mean:

http://opensips-cp.sourceforge.net/screenshots/nathelper-cache_list.jpg

I see no tabs for MediaProxy module config etc.

I meant that do you just need some modules pointing OpenSIPS to MySQL and then
the control panel puts everything in there, or does the control panel
edit opensips.cfg?

You must need to bootstrap OpenSIPS so everything can be driven via the cp?

Ah, ok. That sounds good.

Great.

Are there any plans for LDAP auth to login into the CP with roles? That
way you could just add some config for an admin group and junior admin
group LDAP lookup etc, for authentication to login.

Ok, but no specific ones you've seen or can point me too? Don't want to have
to write one specifically. But yeah, will look at some RFCs and see if
there is anything.

Of course, as always ;-)

OK. Right now I am just on chapter 4 of the book and have added MediaProxy into
the loop to test two uac behind the same NAT.

OK, great. Read a lot about rtpproxy and mediaproxy, but I guess it just depends
on what you need (billing fixes). Maybe also depends if you're a Emacs
or Vi guy ;-)

Exactly. This really is SIP data munging. "OpenSIPS...Perl for SIP" ;-)
