Yate telephony engine on pfsense 2.1 ($ plz quote)

xbipin

its simple, first u goto the conf.d folder which r the config for each module, u need to rename each to modulename.conf and basically tog et started u need only the below ones

accfile.conf
manager.conf
regexroute.conf
sipfeatures.conf
yate.conf
yrtpchan.conf
ysipchan.conf

then u simply open each and configure as mentioned each of the fields, comments on how to configure r provided. the accfile is where ur userid/pass of remote sip server will go, manager is for telnet acces, regexroute is used for routing calls to gateways etc, sipfeatures u dont need to modify, yate also no change required, yrtpchan is to set ur local ip, port for media in voip calls, ysipchan is used to configure sip related things, such as local ip, port, udp, codecs, etc etc

when u configure these stuff and simply run the yate binary in console, it will read out some stuff which will tell u if something went wrong in locading a module or no, if nothing went wrong its loaded, it will process calls as configured

What errors are you getting with package I've published on my repo?

xbipin

i havent tried it coz i dont know how to go about it in freebsd.

marcelloc

well, I just…

installed it using pkg_add from my repo(as described above)
edited /usr/local/etc/rc.d/yate changing from yate_enable=${yate_enable="NO"} to yate_enable=${yate_enable="YES"}
exec /usr/local/etc/rc.d/yate start

And it's started with default config options…

I saw a lot of config options, it may take a while to code into gui and create the config files.

As you can see, default config is unable to bind sockets on pfsense and startup script returns some shell cmd erros too if /usr/local/etc/yate/cdrfile.conf has no file set.

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/yate start

ok it seems to run fine i guess looking at the log, would u attempt the latest version which is v4.3 as 2.1 is very old and lack many features and has few bugs related to SIP

marcelloc

it will need a port update on freebsd first.

the latest version on ports is yate-4.0.0.p1

xbipin

so would u do that or some1 from freebsd needs to do that as yate is pretty easy to compile i guess

xbipin

regarding the web gui for yate on pfsense, for a start just a start/stop button and text boxes to edit those conf files in yate would be enough, meaning click the conf file and its content load up, then u edit and hit save and the new content gets saved after which just a reload command would apply them immediately. the reason y this coz it would be better than using console or ssh etc and yate is so good that this would be more than enough

marcelloc

It has some patches applied on yate freebsd port package. It will need some work to update it. I'll try to contacto it's maintainer.

xbipin

any update on this?

marcelloc

@xbipin:

any update on this?

I'll ping developer again.

marcelloc

ports package was updated on feb 15. It still has some bugs but I'll try to compile.

marcelloc

package compiled sucessfull.

Can you check if it works the way you need?

can you try to install this package before?

pkg_add -r http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages/8/All/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26_2.tbz

All not found messages point to an existing package on repo, I'm not sure what is happening

I'll install a testing vm for it.

xbipin

still a bunch of errors and not founds

You can use sasldb2 for authentication, to add users use:

        saslpasswd2 -c username

If you want to enable SMTP AUTH with the system Sendmail, read
Sendmail.README

NOTE: This port has been compiled with a default pwcheck_method of
      auxprop.  If you want to authenticate your user by /etc/passwd,
      PAM or LDAP, install ports/security/cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd and
      set sasl_pwcheck_method to saslauthd after installing the
      Cyrus-IMAPd 2.X port.  You should also check the
      /usr/local/lib/sasl2/*.conf files for the correct
