Evergreen SIP Server with SIP2Mediator (Testing Edition)

• Install the latest working branch from bug #1901930
• If necessary…
  • Apply SQL changes
  • Apply opensrf.xml additions to support the new open-ils.sip2 service and restart Evergreen.
  • Apply Apache eg_vhost.conf and eg_startup changes required to load the new Apache module and reload Apache.
  • Create an Evergreen user account with adequate permissions to perform as a SIP user (See Adding SIP Users).
    • The password for this Evergreen account can be anything (the stronger the better). It will never be used directly.
    • For testing, the stock 'admin' account works fine.
• In the staff client, navigate to Administration => Server Administration => SIP Accounts and click 'New Account' to create a new SIP account.
  • Set the "ILS Username" to match the Evergreen user account created above.
  • Click the "Set Password" button to apply a SIP account password.
  • "Workstation", "Transient", "Activity Who" are optional.
  • Check the 'Enabled' checkbox.
  • Save changes.

These instructions assume the SIP2Mediator is running on an Ubuntu server. It also assumes the SIP2Mediator is running on the same host as Evergreen. See the –help options to specify non-default listen address for SIP and the target HTTP address.
