[Asterisk-Users] Pass variable to Authenticate?

[Moises Silva]

Hi Dana. 

Not sure how to do it with DBget, but currently im using AGI for all
the authentication process. I Think is a very good solution. Its a lot
easier to make a program in a high level language like PHP and tell
asterisk with a simple SetVar(authenticated=1) if the user is allowed
to continue.
Basically the flow of events is:

- the user dial some number
- asterisk prompts for the agent login and saves it in a channel variable
- asterisk prompts for the agent password and saves it in other channel var
- asterisk launch an AGI application
       - the agi script retrieves the login and password saved by Asterisk
       - the agi script check the database to find a match entry
       - the agi script set an Asterisk variable to tell if the user
its authorized or not
- asterisk reads the variable that agi should have set
- if the variable is 1 continue, otherwise ask the password again or
hangup, or whatever...

If you need more help just ask. I tough many people here knows other
options, or may be a better implementation.

Best Regards
