Conference server configuration

[conference-server]

# Make the conference server listen on localhost since
# it only needs to communicate with the SIP proxy, which is
# on the same host usually.
transport=sip:127.0.0.1:6064;transport=tcp

# SIP identity of the conference server. This identity is
# used by the other user agents when they need to communicate
# with the conference server (for creating a new
# conference/chatroom for instance).
conference-factory-uri=sip:conference-factory@sip.linphone.org

# Address of the proxy to use for sending requests.
outbound-proxy=sip:127.0.0.1:5060;transport=tcp

# The database to use for chatroom persistence. The schema
# is automatically created by the conference server if the
# database is empty.
database-backend=mysql
database-connection-string=db='flexisip_conference' user='flexisip_conference' password='test' host='localhost'

# The conference server needs direct access to the Registrar
# database used by the proxy. To do so, the parameters about the
# registrar db in module::Registrar section must be set and REDIS
# backer must be used.
[module::Registrar]
db-implementation=redis
redis-server-domain=localhost
redis-server-port=6379

See [conference-server] section documentation for an exhaustive list of handled parameters.
