Elastix , which is a free forked version of asterisk pbx product comes with integrated ready to use add-ons like a2billing\u00a0 ( billing module for voip\/telephony ) , vtigercrm\u00a0 etc.,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After installing we must change default passwords for elastix admin , a2billing and vitigercrm admin .<\/p>\n
This can be done easily while installation time ( with new versions ) , or after logging into the panel with default passwords( older versions).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But\u00a0 there was serious security bug ( i think it is patched now ) with elastix , where somebody can hack\u00a0 the elastix box with the default password of built in user ‘asteriskuser’\u00a0 and\u00a0 able to make calls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are the steps i followed to change astersikuser password<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step1 :<\/strong><\/p>\n changing\u00a0 password in database<\/p>\n -ssh to elastixbox with root privileges<\/p>\n -connect to sql\u00a0 console\u00a0 by typing\u00a0 # mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n -now enter the mysql root password ( you can find this in \/etc\/elastix.conf\u00a0 and you can even change it by typing #mysqladmin -u root -p’oldpassword<\/em>‘ password ‘newpassword<\/em>‘)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n mysql> show databases; mysql> use mysql; Database changed<\/p>\n mysql> set password for ‘asteriskuser’@’localhost’ = PASSWORD(‘newpassword<\/em>‘);<\/p>\n Step2:<\/strong><\/p>\n change asteriskuser password in \/etc\/amportal.conf<\/p>\n now run command\u00a0 # \/usr\/src\/AMP\/apply_conf.sh to apply the changes<\/p>\n Step3:<\/strong><\/p>\n type #grep -r “asteriskuser” \/etc\/asterisk\/*\u00a0\u00a0 to find files with asteriskuser entries and change the password to newpassword<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [root@vm2 ]# grep -r “asteriskuser” \/etc\/asterisk\/* <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *replace newpassword<\/em> with your own password<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elastix , which is a free forked version of asterisk pbx product comes with integrated ready to use add-ons like a2billing\u00a0 ( billing module for voip\/telephony ) , vtigercrm\u00a0 etc., After installing we must change default passwords for elastix admin , a2billing and vitigercrm admin .
