Set up an “involuntary” conference call with Freeswitch

This is a workaround that I found that is OK for my situation, but I'd generally consider it a gross hack. I found this gem in chan_sip.c:

/* Always OK if no secret */
if (ast_strlen_zero(secret) && ast_strlen_zero(md5secret))
  return AUTH_SUCCESSFUL;

So, my workaround is to put:

secret=

In the config for each extension. This is OK for me because I'm not worried about someone on my network trying to register for an extension that isn't theirs. In general, however, it's totally insecure because it bypasses any further authentication (including my issue with the username mismatch).

I stumbled upon this question when I where looking for some answers of my own, and decided to answer your question.

In Bluebox you need to creative a number and then link it to your voicemail box. You start by adding a new feature code in "Applications" -> "Feature Codes" and click on "Add Feature Code". Then you choose "Check Voicemail" in Feature. Then under "Number assignment" you click on "Add Assignment" and then on "Add Number". In the pop-up box you fill in the number you want to link to Voicemail. For security you can choose to make the voicemail only accessed internally. After you have saved your new number you can save your newly created feature code and your access to the voicemail system.

I hope this helps..

Best Regards
