Maybe it is just me, but I think you are trying to go the hard way about
getting this done.

Other than dialing out, there isn't really a need to change any
information in the sip.conf file when a user logs in. You could just as
easily link in your DB the dumb device you have with the user and when a
call needs to go to that user, you just look up the device to send the
call via your scripts that you have already.

Dialing out of these dumb devices could also take a short trip through
your scripts to verify who they are and then attach that information to
the call before allowing the call to finish progressing.

So unless you are changing the way the device behaves when they log in,
there doesn't seem to be a need for code changes.
