asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Script to Authenticate User and Dial Out

Hello.  I'm looking for a script that I can use that will ask users for
a password, and then let them call any extension on the asterisk server.
 Does anyone know of a premade script that can do this, or a resource I
could use to make my own?

Thanks,
Josh

DISA?

It seems the simplest approach is to create an extension(s) with the 
password(s) and then if the incoming caller gets it correct, jump them 
to another context.  Otherwise stay in the default context and give 
default prompts.  I suppose you can find a way to read the password from 
a DB or file or as you say, put it in a script.

[maincontext]

exten => 11112222,1,Goto(youwin,s,1)
exten => 22223333,1,Goto(youwin,s,1)
exten => s,1,Backgroun(vm-password)

exten => i,1,Goto(maincontext,s,1)

[youwin]

exten => s,1,Background(extension)
exten => 1,1,...
exten => 2,1,...
exten => 3,1,...

That seems great, except for some reason, its not working.  I'm able to
dial any extension on the system, not the ones I'm trying to define in a
context.  Here's what I have that accepts the incoming calls:

[did]
exten => 9995,1,Answer
exten => 9995,n,Background(welcome)   
exten => 9995,n,WaitExten
include => didcalling

The context didcalling has the contexts you suggested.  However, since I
can make any call on the system (in the default context), its pointless.
 What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Josh
