CONFIGURING THE FRONTEND/UI

+------------------------------------------------------
TBD
+DATABASE PREREQUESTITES FOR THE API
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Hermes expects that Kamailio is installed and configured to use MySQL backing,
+with teh Siremis SQL structure, with subscribers in a 'subscribers' table, and
+aliases stored in 'dbaliases'. An SQL structure script for the tables used by
+Hermes is included in doc/sql-data/structure-kamailio.sql That file is included
+as a guide to verify the Kamailio configuration, and as a structure to use in
+development/testing as a replacement for a real Kamailio installation.
+
+Hermes itself requires a MySQL database on the same MySQL server, with the
+structure defined in doc/sql-data/structure-hermes.sql
+A database must be created, and the structure loaded prior to configuring
+the API.
+
+
+You may also choose to load the sample data. Note that the sample data does
+include a R/W API key, tied to the host 10.0.2.5. Replacing the IP
+address of that key may be used to boot-strap authorizations...
+
CONFIGURING THE API
--------------------------
+------------------------------------------------------
The API needs to be configured separately from the UI.
API configuration is done by creating the PHP file
Needs RW access to kamailio and provision db's
sql_password -> Password for the above username
kamailio_db -> Database name of kamailio db.
-provision_db -> Database name of provision db.
-
-standard_dialplan -> Dialling pattern to use for new users
-default_domain -> What domain should always be listed first
-permit_multiple_e164alias -> Currently not used ...
+hermes_db -> Database name of hermes db.
The following configuration options define SQL table names
for respective data-sets, values for the sample-data.sql
kamailio_domain_table (domain)
kamailio_subscriber_table (subscriber)
kamailio_alias_table (dbaliases)
-provision_users_table (users)
-provision_phones_table (phones)
-provision_servers_table (servers)
+kamailio_domain_table (domain)
+hermes_users_table (users)
+hermes_phones_table (phones)
+hermes_servers_table (servers)
numbers_table (numbers)
+apikeys_table (apikeys)
+authorizations_table (authorizations)
+sessionkeys_table (sessionkeys)
+
+Configuration parameters not related to database:
+
+auth_backend
+ -> Backing store plugin for API user auth.
+
+sessionkey_lifetime
+ -> The amount of time an auth_key is valid in an API session.
+ Aka max ping-interval.
+
+standard_dialplan
+ -> Dialling pattern to use for new users
+
+default_domain
+ -> What domain should always be listed first
+
+permit_multiple_e164alias -
+ -> Currently not used ...
