Asterisk no longer allow connection via AMI

Asterisk Asterisk APIs
21

In my user section of my manager.conf file.

I replaced the bindaddr from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1

[matthew]

bindaddr = 127.0.0.1/127.0.1

I saved and did telnet like usual. Now it works with the response “Connection accepted” and I can see all the AMI events.

But my web interface using the Python framework now gives “connection refused error” Maybe cos I changed the bindaddr value from the Web IP address to 127.0.0.1

22

Now it suddenly works after putting two permit statement in the [matthew] section

[matthew]
permit=153.162.162.95/255.255.255.0
permit=127.0.0.1/127.0.0.1

Please do you think it just works luckily cos I want to know the problem so I can log it when next I see something like this

23

Not sure why it was restricted, but 127.0.0.1/127.0.0.1 is much too permissive. You should have 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255.

@david551 Okay I will do the change on the 127.0.0.1

25

To set another property that can be accessible via the AMI. All I need do is to set

same => n,Set(CHANNEL(email)=${user_email})

in the extensions.conf file

Am I right?

AMI can access ${user_email} directly.

The ${CHANNEL()} function has no option called “email”, so trying to set it will fail.
