asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Encrypted password for voicemail

Hello all,

I was wondering whether the only way to store the
passwords for the voicemail is in extensions.conf. Is
it perhaps possible to store it (encrypted) in a DB or
store the hash of the password (as is standard in
unix) in the extensions.conf file?

Finally, it does not seem to me that the password the
user enters to obtain his voicemail is encrypted
between the user and Asterisk. Is this correct?

Thanks,

jez

Storing an encrypted DB? Encrypted in what way? What exactly do you want
to defend against?

Basically, not.
