Example:

meetme.conf

conf => 1000

extensions.conf

; ** Normal users enter the conference here **
exten => 4823,1,SetMusicOnHold(random)
exten => 4823,2,Meetme(|Msciw)
exten => 4823,3,Hangup()

; ** Extension to mark conference users*

exten => 4824,1,Authenticate(12345)
exten => 4824,2,Meetme(|Asci)
exten => 4824,3,Hangup()


Users using extension 4823 and entering conference 1000 will listen to 
hold music until the marked users enters.

Users using extension 4824 and entering a password of 12345 will be able 
to select conference 1000 as the marked user.
