Description:	My need was to be able to retain the accountcode of a transferred call for CDR purposes. This patch allows to optionally forward the accountcode via IAX2 only: this way the box that receives a call gets the same accountcode the user was registered with on the transferring box. The receiving box can optionally accept the accountcode and use it for CDR identification. This is IAX2 only ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** I'm adding two new configuration directives in iax.conf: sendinfo=[yes|no] default no. We want to send the peer an accountcode and possibly more info about the call to be added later (i'm thinking about a network-unique-id that follows a call across your entire network) trusted=[yes!no] default no This identifies the user as "trusted" so we accept the "info" he is sending, including accountcode, and use it locally (or forward to the next iax peer)

By: jerjer (jerjer) 2004-04-06 13:46:09 I can see some possible uses for this patch, but one would have to make absolutely sure it is secure...like not sending clear text over the wire. my 2 pesos By: Olle Johansson (oej) 2004-04-24 16:59:12 lele: Have you disclaimed this patch to Digium (see http://bugs.digium.com for more info) ?? All: Any more test results? Can we make this more general, following the syntax for internal variable passing that we're working on? _VARIABLE is always transfered - arrives as VARIABLE (no _) __VARIABLE is always transfered - arrives as __VARIABLE (two underscores, stays) Meaning that the later variable will continue to be transferred if forwarded over a second IAX2 link. By: Olle Johansson (oej) 2004-04-26 16:16:46 reminder... By: lele (lele) 2004-04-26 16:59:19 I have disclamed long time ago. There are already a few of my patches in * code By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2004-04-28 22:40:15 It's an interesting patch, but I don't think I want to see account code carried across IAX2 in general.
