[asterisk-users] Password protect a queue from callers?

2008-01-01 Thread Caza Henha

Hi, We currently testing a trixbox/asterisk installation and have used Freepbx 
to set-up and configure the box and it is running tremendously well. We have an 
generic IVR configured to which can transfer callers to a child IVR. This child 
IVR has a number of options to send the caller off to various queues. However 
we would like to protect some of the options with a password/pin number so that 
only callers with a valid pin can gain access to the queues. We have looked at 
pin sets but this doesn't seem to be the correct route, we also searched on the 
Internet but the queries we have used bring up options to password protect 
queues from agents not callers. 

Initially we are happy with using just the one pin number for all customers for 
testing purposes then to proceed to using a sql backend to allow us to uniquely 
give each customer their own pin. Has anyone any suggestions on which direction 
we should proceed; we presume it could be the customer_app route which from 
our limited experience will hook into a custom asterisk script but being new to 
freepbx and asterisk we are not sure how to go about implementing this solution 
or if it has already been done? Any advice is appreciated...

I put something together like this for a finance company - Asterisk
looked up the callerid in a MySQL database, and put the call into a
queue, with a higher priority if the call was from certain clients.

If the callerid was not found, it them allowed for a clientid and
pincode to be entered.

The only thing someone else wrote was the web front end to manage it
all.
