Asterisk Manager API SIPPeers - Permission Denied
- by Matt H
I'm wanting to use the asterisk manager api to show the status of all my SIP lines in a PHP web interface.
I thought I'd start simple and use telnet to see it working.
So I created a user in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
[portal]
secret = password
read = all,system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
Then telnet to localhost on port 5038
This is what I get.
asterisk ~ # telnet localhost 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Action: login
Username: portal
Secret: 8u9sdgk
Events: off
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted
Action: SIPPeers
Response: Error
Message: Permission denied
Why am I getting permission denied? I thought the user has basically full access?
Do I need to restart asterisk to make this work? I didn't restart it. On the other hand, I was able to log in which makes me think that the manager.conf has been reloaded as the portal user didn't exist before.
Any ideas?
