asterisk users - Jan 2005 - mySQL-sipfriend dials to another SIP-endpoint - How to set the from-user

Hi,

I have some mySQL-sipfriends and connectivity to PSTN.

When a call from PSTN comes, it shows a callerid,
and that callerid is displayed at the called sip phone.

When the call comes from another sip user (defined as
mySQL-sipfriend), no callerid is displayed at the called
sip phone.

I turned on sip debug and discovered, that in the last case
in the SIP-header to the called phone:
From: "Unknown" <sip:Unknown@...

I put in a noOp(${CALLERID}) and found in both case reasonable
callerids.

I even set the callerid with setCallerID("test user"<12334>)
to absolute identical values:

When call comes from PSTN, those values are displayed in the
outgoing SIP header (and finally the called sip phone).

When call comes from SIP, there is still "unknown" displayed
in the outgoing SIP header (and nothing in the called sip phone).

How can I force chan_sip to use the values from ${CALLERID}?


Thanks for hints!

Roger.

Hi,

this seems to be a bug in chan_sip.c (asterisk-1.0.3).

Whenever a column "restrictcid" is defined, the
variable restrictcid was set to 1 in chan_sip.

Now I changed line 1067 to

u->restrictcid = *(rowval[x])-'0';

Now restrictcid really reads the value from the database.
Thus setting this value in sipfriends to 0 lets this var
to 0

=> callerid is send to the remote sip end.
