Summary:                    Wrong behaviour using "d" and "D" options in
MeetMe(confno,d/D,pin)
Description: 
The doc says:
     'd' -- dynamically add conference
     'D' -- dynamically add conference, prompting for a PIN

But try this:

exten => 1,1,MeetMe(1,D,1234)
exten => 2,1,MeetMe(2,D)
exten => 3,1,MeetMe(3,d,1234)
exten => 4,1,MeetMe(4,d)


And call to each one:

  1: It doesn't ask for pin -> ¿?¿
  2: It asks for pin -> OK
  3: It doesn't ask for pin -> ¿?¿
  4: It doesn't ask for pin -> OK

So cases 1 and 3 are unexpected. IMHO they should be:

  1: It asks for pin (1234)
  2: It asks for pin (user provided)
  3: It asks for pin (1234)
  4: It doesn't ask for pin

Yes, cases 1 and 3 are the same. I think that "D" options should ask for
user provided pin just in case pin is not defined in "MeetMe()". About case
3 I'm not sure of what should be the behaviour.


But in conclusion, for now is not possible to create a dynamic conference
with fixed pin (not user provided when creating the conference).

I'm not really an authority on MeetMe, but I think you are misinterpreting
the d and D options.

When the first person calls into a MeetMe, since the conference is created
then, it will set a PIN by either using what is provided in the dialplan or
by asking for one (note that if you use the d option and provide a PIN in
the dialplan it is silently ignored). Now that a PIN has been set, when
subsequent callers enter, that's when it will either ask for a PIN (D
option) or not ask for one (d option). Try making additional calls into the
MeetMe after the first caller and see if the behavior seems correct.
