I’ve modified the cidlookup module significantly to provide support for LDAP lookup.
I now use it extensively to perform caller id lookups against active directory.
You can find it in ticket #2389. It supports an area-code prefix and a number format option.
If you set prefix to 417, and format to (XXX) XXX-XXXX
then a caller by the number of 4173161234 will be searched as
4173161234
3161234
and
(417) 316-1234
This should cover most number formats, though if you need more (like ‘316-1234’ to match a formatted local
number) I’ll have a look.
Note that its called ‘ldapcidlookup’ until the changes are (if ever) integrated into the real cidlookup module.
Please don’t enable cidlookup and ldapcidlookup at the same time. They use the same database and naming
convention.
better to post it in one place but np. I’ve actually added it to a new contributed module repository that we are creating and will be soon able to provide svn write access to the authors of such modules so stay tuned.

thank you for the link. I tried with freepbx 2.5.1 but when installed I cannot add inbound routes, because freepbx complains about missing “channel”-field in cidlookup_incoming. I tried adding that field, then there is no error anymore but no lookup is done. I selected “ldap” as source in the inbound route with no success. Nothing is inserted in “channel” and looking at the route again says: no source. My OpenLDAP is not queried.
This is from mysql-table “cidlookup_incoming”
cidlookup_id extension channel
4 5399086
As you can see, there is an id but no channel. What does this mean ?
Third party modules are unfortunately exactly that. done by third parties and not included in the base program when new versions are upgraded. It is up to that author to update it when a new release comes out.
I’d take a look code and see who the author is and contact them to see if it is compatible with 2.5.x or if not when they plan on doing it.
After installing ldapcidlookup-1.3.0.3 module on FreePBX 2.5.1 my freepbx does not work more. Freepbx page is completely empty!
Wow to uninstall the module through the shell? Or any other ideas for the repair freepbx?
Thanks
