[asterisk-users] md5secret for IAX?

Hi All,

In an effort to avoid storing cleartext passwords for users, I was looking
around to see if iax.conf had a similar setting to sip.conf's 'md5secret'.
It looks like it doesn't. I've set auth=md5 which, by the look of it, makes
Asterisk work out the md5 on the fly of the cleartext password and compares
it to whatever the client sends (in md5). Unfortunately this means storing
the password in cleartext.

Is it possible or am I forced to store the password in cleartext?

Thanks
- Gonzalo
