[Synopsis]
Authenticate a user


   Options:
      a - Set the channels' account code to the password that is entered

----------

You probably could use option a.

But, I'd suggest that instead of using authenticate, you code something 
using the read option.

I use read to authenticate conference administration.

[check-password]

exten => s,1,Read(get-admin-password|enter-password|||3|)
exten => s,n,Gotoif($["${LEN(${get-admin-password})}" < "1"]?9:3)
exten => s,n, some dialplan magic here.
