asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Authenticating SIP user in LDAP database instead of SIP.conf file

Dear all,
 May I first introduce myself. I'm a student of HAW Hamburg University
currently working for my professor on a VOIP project.  We have a Debian
Linux system (server) on which Asterisk 1.2.6 has been successfully
installed and running. Also the asterisk SIP server has been connected to
the PSTN so users could make calls externally. We use Xlite softphone to
make calls between users in the network.  Currently there are very few users
and I have been able to register them in the in *sip.conf *file and declare
extensions in the *extensions.conf *file.
   Now there is a requirement to assign extensions to all students in the
university(over thousand) whose credentials and information is stored in the
Novel based LDAP database. Moving along I've managed to successfully install
astirectory which is a real time database driver that allows to fetch
configuration data from LDAP directories. Have also installed the LDAPget
module that can lookup data in the LDAP directory. I'm looking for SIP
attributes on LDAP  or an LDAP schema that would facilitate astirectory or
LDAPget to retrieve the username, telephone number and password from the LDAP
database to register the soft phone user.  I'd be extremely grateful for any
help or suggestion in this connection.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

You will need to extend your schema to include all of the attributes 
that can be used in sip.conf plus the extra ones that allow realtime to 
store connection information. Please refer to the realtime info at 
voipinfo.org to get a feel for what your schema should look like.
