Voicmailpwcheck.py fails

cisconotes1981 · January 20, 2021, 3:43am

I have google searched for a solution to trivial passwords in asterisk mail
I have added the following to voicemail.conf
externpasscheck=/usr/local/bin/voicemailpwcheck.py

I have copied this script from this link https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/contrib/scripts/voicemailpwcheck.py
I have pasted into notepad++ and saved as a python file
I pasted the python script into /usr/local/bin/

When I reset the password to the extension number and login to voicemail using *97 , ComMedial mail forces me to change the password, Whatever i enter for a new password, whether it is a trivial password or complex, i get the prompt “that password does not meet the minimum requirements”

the asterisk user has the following permissions
root@raspbx:~# ls -l /usr/local/bin/voicemailpwcheck.py
-rwxr–r-- 1 asterisk asterisk 1763 Jan 18 22:23 /usr/local/bin/voicemailpwcheck.py
root@raspbx:~#

Does any one have a suggestion on what may be causing this error?

I found the error doing a little digging with python on the following script.

github.com

asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/contrib/scripts/voicemailpwcheck.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
''' Sample externpasscheck script for use with voicemail.conf

The externpasscheck option in voicemail.conf allows an external script to
validate passwords when a user is changing it.  The script can enforce password
strength rules.  This script is an example of doing so and implements a check
on password length, a password with too many identical consecutive numbers, or
a password made up of sequential digits.
'''

import sys
import re


# Set this to the required minimum length for a password
REQUIRED_LENGTH = 6

This file has been truncated. show original

I changed the first line of the script from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/python
The script appears to be working correctly now.

Thanks
