[asterisk-users] Putting a password on the international call
Dear List; To have better security, how can I put a password on the international calls (if the user dialed the international call, then it will be asked for password to send the call outside)? Can this password read from the CDR file to know whom did these international calls (using which password? As I might have mutliple passwords).

You can then add prompts for such passwords and read DTMF digit input from the dial plan -- you can find more info at www.voip-info.org.> Can this password read from the CDR file to know whom > did these international calls (using which password? > As I might have mutliple passwords).You mean, expect a certain password based on calling number or destination? You can do that using existing pre-built in global variables without having to touch the CDR file per se. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : +1-678-954-0670 Direct : +1-678-954-0671

I think he means "will he be able to tell what passwords were used by looking at the cdr, for planning purposes, and who used the passwords?" Bilal, using the CDR you could, of course, know who dialed international numbers. The password, however, will not make it back there unless you make sure of it. Two ways I can think of would be: make the extension for dialing an international number BEGIN with the password: *614*0116425..... Then I think you would see it in CDR. Another thing that might work for you would be account code? Set the account code for the CDR record to be the password? Not sure if either of these will work for you but just shots in the dark.
