asterisk users - Jul 2011 - What is the use for the agent password if login via exten?

Hi All;

Why we use the agent password when we configure the agent in the agents.conf if
the agent login by dialing the number configured in the extensions.conf?

example: exten => 28, 1, AgentLogin(1001) 

I know that agent username is used to assign the agent to the queue, but when we
use the agent password?

Regards
Bilal

you have 2 options, add an agent to the queue or add a registered ip phone(
or pstn line) to the queue.
in first option, your operator must enter a password to identify as agent.
but next option does not need password.
