How do I set an outbound route to use a “Authenticate password file”? I’ve created the file and copied it to /etc/asterisk/route_pass.conf. When I enter the path and file in the box for the route password and hit submit changes, I get a pop up message telling me it must be numeric or leave blank to disable. I’m wanting to have a different password for each person (not per extension) allowed to make long distance calls. Local calls, 8xx and 911 will not need a password.
I’m using AsteriskNOW 1.7 with asterisk 1.6.9 and FreePBX 2.7
Hello and thank you for your attention.
I really need to use that function.
According to the documentation, using Authenticate with a password file and the options a and m, we can populate the CDR accountcode with the relative username of the entered password:
"…When one of the passwords is matched, the channel will have its account code set to the corresponding account…"
Is there any way to set it within FreePBX?
PS: the hint that appears on FreePBX when you hover the mouse on the Route password field says:
"A numerical password, or the path to an Authenticate password file can be used."
How?
Thanks again,
