Adding a user

Adding one or more users is a simple two-step process, which is as follows:

1. Create a new XML file for the user, usually by copying an existing file.

2. Modify the Local_Extension Dialplan entry.

In this example, we will create a new user for a person named Gwen and a username of 1100. Perform the following steps:

1. Open a terminal window, and change the directory to conf/directory/default.

2. Make a copy of 1000.xml and name it 1100.xml. A Linux/Unix session looks as follows:

   #>cd /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/directory/default
   #>cp 1000.xml 1100.xml

3. Open 1100.xml in an editor and make the following changes:

   • Replace all occurrences of 1000 with 1100

   • Change the value of effective_caller_id_name to Gwen

4. The new file should look as follows:

   <include>
     <user id="1100">
       <params>
         <param name="password" value="$${default_password}"/>
         <param name="vm-password" value="1100"/>
       </params>
       <variables>
         <variable name="toll_allow...
