Per the paid helpdesk, this is a feature request for evaluation/discussion. Below is my original request.
Hi all,
I’m introducing a large customer to their new phone server solution (Yours) today.
When I’m setting someone up in VitalPBX under Extensions >> Extension# >> Advanced >> User Portal, I give them a Portal Username and a Portal Password. That lets them get to their Extension settings.
When I set them up under VitXi, they also have a User and a Password, that does not necessarily synchronize with the password above.
If I set them up as a Switchboard user, there’s yet another Username/Password combo that doesn’t match the above two.
Is there a way to synchronize these passwords, so if the user changes their password in one place, it changes them in all the places?
-Or-
Alternatively/Even Better, is there a way to specify an external database, like LDAP (which would be Active Directory, for most people I suspect) and use their username and password from AD to control these things?
I ask because I’m setting their password right now to a generic password, and each person is going to have to change it in all those places. Inevitably this question is going to bubble to the surface.
