[asterisk-users] FOSDEM

[Matt Fredrickson]

Hey All,

For any interested in potentially meeting up to talk about Asterisk
and other fun things, Ben Ford from Digium's Asterisk development team
and myself will be in Brussels for FOSDEM Feb 3-4.

I hope to see many of you there!

AMI can operate over TLS.

Thank you both. That was (most likely) what I was looking for - but
still some worries about sending plaintext passwords... For my simple
commands a simple netcat command works for me. Previously used asterisk
-rx in scripts. But now asterisk servers and other processes are split
over multiple physical servers.
A binary or script, making use of encryption and miming asterisk -r
would be best. I am wondering, why such a tool is not part of asterisk
itself... maybe I give this a try setting up a user (group asterisk)
with asterisk -r as "login shell".. and use ssh.. or something like
that. It should be that safe, no other commands can be executed..

As others have mentioned: the manager interface is normally better for
running over network.

The manager interface also has an action calld 'Command' that runs a CLI
command. In fact, contrib/scripts/astcli uses it to allow providing a
remote console.

Permissions needed for your manager user: For most things just:

write=command

To also be able to originate calls:

write=command,originate

To also be able to restart / reload:

write=command,system

> Sharing the unix socket through NFS, if that's working?

No.

> Or any other approaches, despite using SSH or rlogin, rsh.

SSH: should work, sure. However, it means you ssh to root at the remote
host. Better set a key with 'command' explicitly set in authorized_keys
for this.

Rlogin, rsh: seriously? Anybody still uses those? Not only are they
way less secure than SSH, they are also way less conveninet than any
decent SSH implementation.

Anyway, as mentioned before: you should probably use AMI.

Re: [asterisk-users] remote Asterisk console

[Khalil Khamlichi]

Hi,

The easiest way would be to use asterisk manager interface (some
simple steps to activate it on asterisk are easily found in the docs)
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/AMI+Examples

Now you will need a good python library to make it even easier
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asterisk-ami/0.1.0

example :

# 1- import
from asterisk.ami import AMIClient
from asterisk.ami import SimpleAction

# 2- connect
client = AMIClient(address='192.168.1.100',port=5038)
client.login(username='username',secret='password')

# 3- use
action = SimpleAction(
'Originate',
Channel='SIP/2010',
Exten='2010',
Priority=1,
Context='default',
CallerID='python',
)
client.send_action(action)

# 4- take a break your work is done

REMARQUE: opening up your server to external access need to be done
with a lot of care.

Re: [asterisk-users] how do i enable call features??

[Atux Atux]

at the moment i have in each extension in sip.conf the call-limit=2.
Everytime someone calls that extension and that extension is busy, there is
not any notification:
- to the extension that there is a second call
-to the calling party that this extension is on call. So the calling can
either wait or hang up.


How can i make that happen, please?

 Define your *72 and *73 extensions in your internal context, Have them
 set a value in the ASTDB that you then check when dialing your handsets.

 The same can be done for call forwarding, store a number in the ASTDB
 and check if it's present, if it is forward the call to that number.

[asterisk-users] remote Asterisk console

[Paul Neuwirth]

Hello group,

what is the preferred method to connect to asterisk cli over network? I
need to run asterisk cli commands remotely.
Sharing the unix socket through NFS, if that's working?
Or any other approaches, despite using SSH or rlogin, rsh.

Thank you

Paul
