[Freeswitch-users] Retrieving voicemail without entering user ID (extension)

[Joseph Puchalski]

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not trying to remove the requirement for a password, just the need to enter an extension from a user's "home" phone. The current methods I'm familiar with require that the user enter both a user ID and a password. I'm hoping there's a way that the user ID can be defaulted to be the calling extension. This way I can set up a "voicemail" key on a user's desktop phone and allow them to access vmail by entering just a password.

Thanks again,

Joe

Look at the end of:

Advisable?  With it enabled, I can walk up to anyone's phone and retrieve their VM w/out authentication.  It was removed on purpose due to that reason as far as I remember.

I'm trying to modify my dialplan so that I can press a single button on my phone, be connected to voicemail, and enter only a password to gain access.

Currently I use a programmable key to dial 4000. I am prompted for my ID, and then password.

I've poked around "mod voicemail" on the wiki and searched the mailing list and web, but haven't found enough info. I have discovered that this behavior seems to have been available in previous versions of the default dialplan.

Is it still possible? Is it advisable? Was this feature/behavior removed for security reasons?

I apologize ahead of time if the answer is somewhere in plain sight that I haven't looked yet. If so, I'd much appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

As always, thanks for any help,

Joe P.
