The basic steps are to use the Read() application to get the user’s login ID.
Match the login ID to a password.
Use the Authenticate() application to accept the password. (You could use read() for this as well, but that would require more dialplan code)

There are several options for storing the login ID and passwords.

  1. hard coded in the dialplan code
  2. Store in the Asterisk DB
  3. Store in an ODBC database
  4. Store in an external file

I prefer to use the ODBC option because I can maintain the data through external programs.
