Re: [Linphone-users] Provisioning

[Filip Malenka]

Hi Zohair,

as I found it difficult to set up as well, maybe this info will get you
one step further.

First look at this xml and you will get the picture :)

https://github.com/oioki/asterisk-users-admin/blob/master/templates/provision-linphone.xml

When you compare the entries with your linphonerc file, they are all the
same.
CAUTION! That github example contains some variables as well, do not
blindly copy paste. Variables can do your xml more dynamic and can
differ per-user.

found in this github project
https://github.com/oioki/asterisk-users-admin.git

Prepare such a template on your own, either a static xml file, or a
complete dynamic template using e.g. php page that returns a valid xml
based on query string paramteres provided..

Your url could look like
https://yourdomain.com/provision_file.xml
or
https://yourdomain.com/provision_file.php?user=youruser&domain=yourdomain.com&;...

Beware that if you put confidential data to the url, you'd be better of
using https instead of http to not to let somebody steal your credentials..

I found the github project mentioned above while searching a how-to. For
me it was is a guide, not the final solution, as the projects xml
template configures your linphone with Asterisk. This config depends on
what sip proxy or domain or special setup you are trying to connect.
Again, do not just copy-paste.

Another mailing list explains a simple setup, I assume, this is
Linphone's default xml provision scheme when you just register for the
free sip.linphone.org account
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/linphone-developers/2014-07/msg00081.html

The most important things there are, that if you'd like to read and
apply the remote provision file only once, put
<section name="misc">
<entry name="transient_provisioning">1</entry>
</section>
in it.

If there are already entries in your linphonerc and you would like to
overwrite them, then exntend your xml tags with "overwrite=true"
attribute like this
<entry name="media_encryption" overwrite="true">srtp</entry>
This setting will be overwritten on every Linphone startup..

Just a side note, I managed to engage my ANTIFLOOD functions on my
Kamailio server with playing around with xml provisioning and repetitive
login logouts, so don't be surprised when you will get no registration,
or registration timeout after hours of experimenting :)

I have questions on my own as well:
Can I force a UA (e.g. Linphone) to restart remotely, once I change the
contents of remote provision xml?
Do the Linphones check for updates in xml regularly? Or only on startup?
Are there any culprits setting one provisioning url for both, desktop
and android clients? Because the linphonerc differs a markable bit..
Can I force the default ring tone on android with remote provision? Now
my phones ring with default Linphone's "old phone" and not my pohones
default ringtone and it's annoying..
