Rameshkumar Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi, I'm using vodia version 63.0.5. How can I find the SIP password of an extension? I do not want to reset it. I want to check what is the SIP password of that extension? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There is no way to find the password. It is generally considered a bad practice to find passwords, at least if they were entered by a human. You should instead create a new password. If you have lost the root password, you can reset the account from the file system. From there on you can always drill down on domain and user to overwrite passwords.

Rameshkumar Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Situation is like this. I've a user using Deskphone in the office and he need to register Softphone at home. He need to know SIP password. How can I gave him? You don't think it's needed? Admin should have capability to find the password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nope, not needed. He can just create a new SIP password (if he's the domain / system admin) or ask the domain admin to create a new password for him and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameshkumar Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 If he create a new SIP password. The desk phone will deregister. right? Because desk phone is using still old SIP password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nope it won't unless that deskphone reboots or re-provisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameshkumar Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yes this is the problem, Phones are Fortinet which can not provisioned via Vodia and I program them manually. Now what is the solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 1) If you programmed them manually, can't you reuse the same password then? 2) Even if you use a new password now, it won't affect your deskphone because you've manually registered them. Should be fine. You can try with one phone and see the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 You can assign the new password both on the desk phone's GUI and user portal and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 If you automatically provision the desktop phone, the PBX will generate a MAC-dependent password for the VoIP phone. Then you can change the SIP password without any problems. If you use the SIP password also in the desktop phone, well then you need to change it there as well.
