Making Callers (Phone) anonymous

[James MacLean]

Callers via phone enter the BBB session with their phone number or caller ID.

Is it possible to not have this information get to BBB sessions? We have students that we offer anonymous help to, but, if we enable the phone in option, they will have their phone number registered and recorded in the session.

I've tried using set and export in the dialplan check_if_conference_active extension with variables including:

   <action application="export" data="caller_id_number=1000"/>

   <action application="export" data="caller_id_name=Student"/>

   <action application="export" data="username=Student2"/>

   <action application="export" data="user_name=Student3"/>

   <action application="export" data="effective_caller_id_name=Student4"/>

   <action application="export" data="effective_caller_id_number=1001"/>

   <action application="export" data="origination_privacy=hide_name:hide_number"/>

   <action application="export" data="privacy_hide_name=true"/>

   <action application="export" data="privacy_hide_number=true"/>

BBB session still took the original phone number or caller id.

Thanks,

JES

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the suggestion, but, it was already one in the list of variables below I had tried without success.

Throwing in an update in case anyone has more suggestions.

I have also tried doing it in the conference startup extension area bbb_conferences in bbb_conference.xml and with conference specific settings:

       <action application="set" data="conf_caller_id_name=${conference($1 set caller_id_name ThePhone)}"/>
       <action application="set" data="conf_caller_id_number=${conference($1 set caller_id_number $1)}"/>

which I can confirm in the log get actioned and do not throw any errors. 

Still, the conference is joined with either the original caller id or caller phone number.

Another one that has me stumped :(.

Cheers,

JES

For now I am just going to override bigbluebutton-html5/imports/api/users/server/modifiers/addDialInUser.js and voiceOnlyUser -> name: to 'Phone' :).

You can also try using lua to setup your dialplan instead of the xml. You modify the callerid on the script.

We use xml_curl to handle dial-in users where we xhange the last few digits to xxxx.

Here is the callerid masking in ruby.

# Do caller ID phone number masking
	cid_name = params['Caller-Caller-ID-Name']
	cid_hide_name = params['Caller-Privacy-Hide-Name']
	cid_hide_number = params['Caller-Privacy-Hide-Number']
	if cid_name.present?
	if /^\d+$/.match?(cid_name) # It's actually a number
	if cid_hide_number.blank? || (cid_hide_number != 'true')
	masked_number = cid_name[0..-5]
	masked_number += 'X' * (cid_name.length - masked_number.length) if masked_number.length < cid_name.length # rubocop:disable BlockNesting, LineLength
	@caller_id = masked_number
	end
	elsif cid_hide_name.blank? || (cid_hide_name != 'true')
	@caller_id = cid_name
	end
	end
	@caller_id = 'Unavailable' if @caller_id.blank?

Hi Richard,

May I ask if you also make your conference call from ruby, or do you return back to the XML and let it occur there? 

I am asking as I am starting to think it might work if it all happens within the scripting. I have a python IVR frontend but it hands back to XML. If yours works withing Ruby then it would be worth the time for me to try it there.

Thanks,

JES

You can have the dialplan be generated by your python scripts instead of the xml dialplan that comes with BBB. You can remove them and replace with dynamically generated dialplans using your python IVR frontend.

In our case, we still use the xml dialplan that comes with BBB because we make changes to the callerid on another FS to receive calls from our sip trunk provider. This FS instance uses xml curl to determine which BBB server the meeting is running on and route the call there.

Here is some code to mask a telephone number all in the dialplan logic.

 

This takes the number and only shows the last 4 digits,  so  xxx-xxx-3963, its for 10 digit us/can numbers but can be adapted for any number.

Bash is your friend 😊

 

Add the 2 bolded lines below to public dialplan block right before the transfer action.

 

Then at shell to reload changes

 

/opt/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x "reloadxml"

 

    <action application="play_and_get_digits" data="5 5 3 7000 # conference/conf-pin.wav ivr/ivr-that_was_an_invalid_entry.wav pin \d+"/>

 

    <action application="set" data="MASK=${system echo ${caller_id_name} | grep -o -P '.{0,4}$' | sed 's/^/xxx-xxx-/' }"/>

    <action application="set_profile_var" data="caller_id_name=${MASK}"/>

 

    <action application="transfer" data="SEND_TO_CONFERENCE XML public"/>

 

Let me know if you have issues.

 

Regards,

Stephen
