asterisk athentication app

Hello,

i would like to build an application:
calling your pbx (asterisk based) and running some operations (restart apache/mysql/bind etc). I have found how to run scripts but the problem is how to athenticate users (providing userid/pass). I can make a script but i don;t know how to pass user's keys (password) into the script.
Thanks in advance.

 

you could load the digits into a $var and then use the System command to pass the $var to a script that will check authentication?

 

I would love to have a look at the script when you are done making it, and for sure I could use it
