[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
Hello all, I am looking for a way to restrict users from logging in two separate phones with the same authorization name/password at the same time. Meaning, I only want users to be able to place a call from one phone in one location, but have the ability to move from computer to computer. Has anyone found any sort of solution for this type scenario? Thanks, Bryan Mahin Please visit us @ www.uneta.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
:) I should rephrase my question. And included a bit more information on what I am trying to accomplish. Solution 1 (preferred) I am working on an asterisk installation where most end users will use softphones. If I am not able to lock down calling to one phone at a time, the end users will share their login information with friends, family, neighbors, and the some girl they meet on myspace. Currently, I am able to register two phones at separate locations with the same account on each phone and make concurrent calls. For example, If I login extension 333 at location A, and 333 at location B, simultaneous calls can be placed from both phones at the exact same time. I only want calls placed from extension 333 to work from either A or B not A and B concurrently. Here is my ideal solution. Location A wants to make a call, but location B has a call in progress. Location B has to either close their phone, or hang up before Location A can make the call. OR.. Solution 2. :) A way I can distinguish in my CDR the IP address or some other recognizable difference between the two locations when they make concurrent calls using the same extension. The complication here is; I can currently the log IP addresses, but as the end phones are on the internet, Nat'd, and I am using a siparator for traversal. As a result, my logs show the IP address of the siparator and I don't have any other data to distinguish the end phones. OR.. Solution 2.5 One thought I've had is to send logs from the siparator to a syslog server, parse them, hunt for simultaneous calls placed by the same accounts from different locations, and bill the end users accordingly. But I really dislike this idea as no one likes to be hit with surcharges. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
If I lock the account down to one simultaneous call, this will resolve one problem but create another. The user will only be able to place or receive one call and not be able to conference call two or three people at a time. Correct? I really need to be able to lock the account down so multiple calls can be placed from an account at Location A but not the same account at Location B at the same time. Kind of like the old version of AOL instant messenger. If you logon in a second location, it'll bump off the first location. You couldn't use it in two places at once. An even better scenario would be that both locations can be logged in but only the second location to login can place calls. This would cause someone to have to close their phone and re-open it to place calls (bumping off the other phone). -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Darren Wiebe Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:07 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jonathan k.

[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
Correct, and I can lookup the registration IP's but they are NAT'd. I'm using a siparator for traversal. This means the only IP's asterisk is seeing are that of the siparator. At this point I'm not aware of a fix to see the end user's IP while using NAT traversal. I'm not opposed to ditching the siparator if there's a better solution. All ideas are welcome. (That's within budget of course) :) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Eric "ManxPower" Wieling Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 5:27 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations The only thing registration does is inform Asterisk about what IP the device is at.

[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
Correct, and I can lookup the registration IP's but they are NAT'd. I'm using a siparator for traversal. This means the only IP's asterisk is seeing are that of the siparator. At this point I'm not aware of a fix to see the end user's IP while using NAT traversal. I'm not opposed to ditching the siparator if there's a better solution. All ideas are welcome. (That's within budget of course) :) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Eric "ManxPower" Wieling Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 5:27 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations The only thing registration does is inform Asterisk about what IP the device is at. It has nothing at all to do with Device -> Asterisk calls. Registration only affects Asterisk -> Device calls. In a Device -> Asterisk call, Asterisk does not care what IP the device is at as long as the correct user/password are provided. Bryan Mahin wrote:> :) I should rephrase my question.

[Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations
If I lock the account down to one simultaneous call, this will resolve one problem but create another. The user will only be able to place or receive one call and not be able to conference call two or three people at a time. Correct? I really need to be able to lock the account down so multiple calls can be placed from an account at Location A but not the same account at Location B at the same time. Kind of like the old version of AOL instant messenger. If you logon in a second location, it'll bump off the first location. You couldn't use it in two places at once. An even better scenario would be that both locations can be logged in but only the second location to login can place calls. This would cause someone to have to close their phone and re-open it to place calls (bumping off the other phone). -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Darren Wiebe Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:07 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to restrict simultaneous phone registrations -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jonathan k.
