[Asterisk-Dev] Comedian Mail's ADSI implementation broken on phones needing unlock codes?

[Darren Nickerson]

Bill,

I think you may have misunderstood my email. Apologies if it was not clear.

You need to read my entire post in context.

app_adsiprog.c says:

SECURITY "_AST"                                ; Security code
FDN 0x0000000f                          ; Descriptor number

and  adsi_begin_download is called as follows:

if (adsi_begin_download(chan, scr->desc, scr->fdn, scr->sec, scr->ver)) {

which is useful and intuitive, and because scr->fdn and scr->sec are
extracted from a plaintext script which is external to the compiled
app_adsiprog binary, it allows me to customise the slot (FDN) and SECURITY
code I want to use by editing the script. I don't have a problem with this.

On the other hand, comedian mail hardcodes the following values into a
compiled app:

static char *adapp = "CoMa";
static char *adsec = "_AST";

The variable naming here counter-intuitive and inconsistent with
app_adsiprog.c. A better scheme might be:

static char *adfdn = "CoMa";
static char *adsec = "_AST";

but the above codes won't work with my ADSI handset. Not only does changing
these require a recompile of app_voicemail, but it means I can only use the
newly compiled app with a single type of handset. The inability to
configured these on a per-extension basis greatly limits the usefulness of
the ADSI implementation within Comedian Mail.

Again, I'm sorry if my original post was not sufficiently clear.

-Darren
