Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, 2nd Edition

Name

VMAuthenticate() — Authenticates the caller from voicemail passwords

Synopsis

VMAuthenticate([mailbox][@context[,options]])

Behaves identically to the Authenticate() application, with the exception that the passwords are taken from voicemail.conf.

If mailbox is specified, only that mailbox’s password will be considered valid. If mailbox is not specified, the channel variable AUTH_MAILBOX will be set with the authenticated mailbox.

If the options parameter is set to the letter s, Asterisk will skip the initial prompts.

; authenticate off of any mailbox password in the default voicemail context
