Does Scalix support any integration with ..

ip phone and voip technology?

I've been involved in a couple of Asterisk implementations, including our office's PBX. We've had no problems.

Kevin, can you elaborate on what this integration provided for you? Is Asterisk polling the Scalix directory? What else?

[kanderson]

We've avoided any direct integration between asterisk and scalix.

We use the two together, and have success with both, but in terms of pulling data from an open LDAP server, that I haven't done. And in fairness, that's more of an issue on the Asterisk side, as I have configured Scalix to pull data directly from OpenLDAP (and Active Directory). I've just had no need to pull data from a directory into Asterisk.

I know there is documentation for pulling data into Asterisk though. I've browsed it, but I've never implemented it.

You mention pulling data from Scalix. You'll note above that I talk about pulling from OpenLDAP. Personally, I don't think Scalix's directory would be the right location to pull from. It's really not meant to be used like that, and I think you'll find much more success (particularly in the long term) if you use a generic repository like OpenLDAP, and sync the data into the "purpose built" directories from there. This is also true with Samba. I've build Samba/OpenLDAP/Scalix servers. But I pull data from OpenLDAP into Samba and Scalix. Adding Asterisk should be straight forward, and I know documentation is available for it.

Scalix's LDAP wasn't really meant to be extended with attributes for all of the other stuff that's available today, so that's an uphill battle. Populating Scalix from OpenLDAP is easy, common and supported. So go that route.

I think if that is always happening, you should hire a right person to maintain your PBX with a good focus in the system...
