Re: [asterisk-users] checking 'voicemail" externally - doesn't work

[Andrew Joakimsen]

Second authentication DISA is for additional security

Actually that's called paranioa
 

and it doesn't
cause any problem,

Obviously you do have a problem accessing your voicemail, else you would not be posting this

the authentication is giving me access to voicemail
but password is not recognized.

It's giving you access to the voicemailmain application. What is the mailbox? Is it PSTN3434 like your caller ID? If you are calling in from (presumably) "any" phone does it make sense to use the caller id as the mailbox number? Why not use this:

[voicemail]
exten => 1000,1,NoCDR()
exten => 1000,2,Answer()
exten => 1000,3,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM})

[disa-access]
include => tollfree
exten => 1000,1,VoicemailMain()

 

You will have to enter the mailbox number now as well as the password, so instead of being protected by two passwords it is not protected by two passwords AND the mailbox number. So you can remove the disa and the hacker still has to know two unique numbers to access the voicemail... same amount of security.
