<![CDATA[User Login Passwords not 'Syncing']]>Hello,

When a user changes their voicemail password through the ARI or voicemail prompts this change is not reflected in FOP2 until Asterisk is reloaded. Is there something I'm missing? My config is:

PBX in a Flash Version = 1.7.5.6
FreePBX Version = 2.9.0.7
Running Asterisk Version = 1.6.2.18

You can modify the autoconfig-users-freepbx.sh script and use whatever tool you like to create user configurations, including ldap queries. But you will have to install the proper tools and write/modify the script to suit your needs.

Best regards,

In regard to "use a big long password for FOP2" what is the easiest way to implement this? If I use the FreePBX FOP2 Admin module can I set one long password for all the users easily? Is there an easy way to let users manage their own pass from the panel settings menu? Even better yet can I sync this pass with Active Directory?

There is a button to update all labels in the fop2 buttons page, or you can modify them individually.

Best regards,

What should be triggering this?

In /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf set:

externpassnotify = /usr/local/fop2/tickle_fop2.sh

And then have a script like this:

# cat > /usr/local/fop2/tickle_fop2.sh 
#!/bin/bash
sudo /usr/bin/killall -HUP fop2_server
exit 0;
<CTRL><d>

# chown asterisk.asterisk /usr/local/fop2/tickle_fop2.sh
# chmod u+x /usr/local/fop2/tickle_fop2.sh

Don't forget to add user asterisk to /etc/sudoers (using visudo):

asterisk ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/killall -HUP fop2_server

Cheers,

JPS

good you have it working. Regarding the update of passwords, changes from any external tool cannot be tracked, the feature should be added to that tool (it must send some kind of event to AMI). Changing the password from voicemail might be possible, but I *think& that comedian mail does not broadcast any event at all in AMI.. in that case, the feature should be added to asterisk, not fop2.

In any case, my recommendation is to use a big long password for fop2 and not resuse the easy to guess voicemail pin number.

Changed the default port on the original FOP panel seemed to do the trick. Even though I have the original FOP set to not startup in amportal.conf this still was affecting things somehow?

For now I'll just reload asterisk every so often to refresh the login password. If this could be added as a feature in the next update it'd be much appreciated.

You should start fop2_server in debug mode and try to capture the output and look for clues there.

service fop2 stop
cd /usr/local/fop2
script capture.log
./fop2_server -X 511

then change status a couple of time and look for UserEvents or activity when you do the change.

Just noticed when I set my presence to "at lunch" or any other status FOP2 doesn't reflect the change till you log off and in again. Something must be a miss here.

Unfortunately, there is no way in fop2 to know if the password have changed, except for an asterisk reload. You are not missing anything. I can investigate the AMI output when you change the password from the phone, perhaps there is a way to track the password change in that case (not ari).. but I think voicemailadmin does not broadcast anything in AMI.
