[Freeswitch-users] Authenticating end points by IP

[Mathieu Rene]

Check out: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/ACL#Users

It'll automatically add users with a cidr= attribute to the ACL list.  
This way you can set channel variables in the users and use them  
through your dialplan, all authenticated by ip address.

Cheers,
