[Asterisk-Users] asterisk and passwords

[John Todd]

Currently there is no way to store SIP passwords in an encrypted 
form, and there is no user interface to change passwords that is 
built into the Asterisk system.

You will need to build your own user interface.

Note that you could, if you really, REALLY wanted to, build your own 
password encryption method using some of the tools in the ser 
toolkit.  An easier way to do it would be to allow users to change 
their passwords via an AGI script (perl?) that had an interface 
through a voice prompt menu within Asterisk.
