[Freeswitch-users] VM Force Password Change

[Robert Hadley]

Hi Tim,

Think of the vm-password in the lineId.xml file as an alternate or back-door
password.  Mod_voicemail stores the user's main voicemail password in its
database (db/voicemail.db is the default), set via the VM IVR.  It only uses
the alternate if the main password check fails.  You can set the lineId.xml
file vm-password to "user-choose" to get part of the functionality you want:
i.e. there is no alternate password set by default.

Regards,
Robert

If you use this method, what happens when a user tries to change their
password from within the
voicemail app?  Is there some sort of hook in mod_voicemail that we can use
to push the update to
the database via the web server?
