[Freeswitch-users] How to set PIN after conference created?

[Duncan Pierce]

Thanks for responding Michael. Do you have any hints for getting started
with implementing PIN security in the dialplan? I can see how a PIN could be
prompted for and gathered but I can't see how to "attach" a PIN to a
conference.

Best regards,
Duncan
