Guys. Since ARA is not available in stable 1.0.9 I was wondering how to use externpass in voicemail.conf to update mysql based voicemail password. My question is, can externpass send parameters to the called file? I couldnt find any examples on the wiki so, does anybody have any tips on this? Thx !

Hello, If I change the password in the Voicemail-Menu without externpass, the password gets changed correctly. But if I use a extern script, the password is still the same as before. What do I have to do in my external script to change the password in the asterisk's memory, too? Thanks for your help!! Sebastian

Hello, I have an #include file containing user voicemail configurations. This works fine for the most part, but when a user changes their password via the phone the #include file is not updated. Is there a way to do this? I have something like this: In voicemail.conf: [default] #include "vmail_accounts.conf" 5551234567 => 0000, Customer, email@domain.com 5552234567 => 0000,

In Asterisk 1.2.13 in app/app_voicemail.c, line 4700 ext_pass_cmd is checked to decide whether to use vm_change_password or vm_change_password_shell to change a user's password for his voicemail account. I wonder, what is the difference between vm_change_password and vm_change_password_shell - what is that shell? The only reference I found on the Internet was the following bug report:

Hello. One question... When we use voicemail with flat file configuration (voicemail.conf) the vaicemail user can change his password by voicemailmain (voice menu) this change the value in voicemail.conf. When we use Realtime the password is stored in the database. What the voicemailmain (voice menu) application do? change the database value? As I see it doesn't work. Regard. Jsalas.

Does anyone know of a way to force the voicemail password for users to be of a certain length? We've setup operator=yes within our voicemail.conf and want to have the users use a long password to prevent possible guessing by external parties. I'm not seeing any such option in my research. If it doesn't exist it might be a decent feature. Thanks. Running: 1.4.25, on CentOS 4.7

Meanwhile, *I don't think it's possible to not allow password changes (correct me if I'm wrong). *Using externpass to run a script that will copy a backup voicemail file to voicemail.conf could potentially work, but it won't save password changes. Nothing generated from voicemail is showing up in the asterisk logs, nor does the console show any error after changing a password. Any assistance on this st...
