asterisk users - Mar 2005 - sharing asterisk among several companies

Hello,

I am trying to configure Asterisk to be used by two (or more) different remote
companies, sharing the same instance of Asterisk on my host.

By setting specific entry contexts for each sip user, I can repeat extensions
among companies.

My question is: is it possible to have repeated users on sip.conf being
identified by their different passwords? I tried to do that but got an
authentication failure. Is there a way to do this? Or I should always have
different usernames?

Thank you
Dov

What about the case where a user works at two or more companies? For 
instance, an employee at one could have a permanent consultant desk at the 
other. Can one call him at home using either company's extension, and can 
he identify which identity is being contacted?

I think it would be less crazy best if you had a naming scheme, such as 
companyname-username, and stuck with it.

Cheers,
