I've been searching around for a while, and haven't found an answer to this question, so here goes: Does anyone know if AMI can be configured to allow requests from another client without having to authenticate first? I would like to be able to restrict it based on IP address, and not require a login. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -- Brooks R. Bridges Telecommunications Manager Ifbyphone, Inc.

Bear in mind that you cannot always trust the source ip (you can work around this by blocking external connections from ip addresses used by the internal machines). -- Kind Regards, Matt Riddell Director _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com (Great new VoIP end to end solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.venturevoip.com/newrssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss)

One place where quite a similar approach is used: http://monast.sourceforge.net/ -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
