I am trying to use Authenticate() in the dialplan for something other than “my password”. The message says “Please enter YOUR password followed by the pound key”.

I’m not using this for my password. Is there any way to change the message to “please enter the password followed by the pound key”?

or is there another version of Authenticate() that I’m not aware of or another way to prompt for a password?

Thanks,

Jerry

  • As Steve said, use read. This is a snippet from my dial plan

    exten => s,1,Read(get-admin-password,enter-password,,,3,)
    exten => s,n,Gotoif($[“${LEN(${get-admin-password})}” < "1"]?5:3) Doug
