How to grant another application permission to access?

I am trying to configure a GUI, however it appears that Asterisk isnt recognizing it as a valid ‘user’. I am running Asterisk 1.2, what setting do I change to allow access? The specific error it gives me is as follows:

127.0.0.1 tried to authenticate with nonexistent user ‘destarman’

DeStar being the GUI I am using, and ‘destarman’ is the managing app for it. Any thoughts from the Asterisk gurus on site?

1.2 is unsupported. Moreover, I thought that internal web servers in Asterisk didn’t arrive till 1.4.

While the Asterisk GUI doesnt support version 1.2, the DeStar GUI claims they do. I can see the DeStar app trying to connect to the Asterisk server (hence the error message about the ‘nonexistant user’), I just dont know what to add to the manager.conf file to allow it. Any thoughts?

In the SVN head version of 1.2, the specimen user configuration starts at line 24 of manager.conf.sample, with:

You’d obviously need to change mark to destarman.

Ok so you are suggesting I edit the manager.conf.sample file? Do I need to give it a password or simply add ‘destarman’? Also, if I replace ‘mark’ with destarman will that cause issues, or should I add another line item instead (leaving both)?

I just checked, and I dont have a manger.conf.sample file in my Asterisk directory. Below is the list of files that do appear there:

root@LS-GL7D6:/etc/asterisk# ls
[ul]
adsi.conf.orig extconfig.conf.orig modules.conf.orig
adtranvofr.conf extensions.ael musiconhold.conf
agents.conf extensions.conf.orig osp.conf

Which one should I edit?[/ul]

Also, here is the contents of my manager.conf file

;
; Asterisk Call Management support
;

; By default asterisk will listen on localhost only.
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

; No access is allowed by default.
; To set a password, create a file in /etc/asterisk/manager.d
; use creative permission games to allow other serivces to create their own
; files
#include “manager.d/*.conf”
