I was able to get my message back only once. After then I always ending up in voicemail setup. (I left message from the same phone, from soft phone several times). No luck.
Installed fresh Nethserver 7.4, updated, installed samba DC and voip pbx from Software Center. Created AD user markus.
My nethserver-freepbx is version 14.0.2-1.ns7
Enter admin name, password and mail:
Just submit:
Then I do âApply Configâ on top right corner.
Then I go to Applications/Extensions and do âQuick create extensionâ
Enter display name, extension number and mail:
Map the user and set voicemail PIN(this is the voicemail password):
Edit the extension again and set a secret:
Then again do âApply Configâ.
Now I connect my microsip softphone with following settings:
When I call myself or *4000 I can leave a message. When I call *97 I can listen to extensions messages. Same when I call *98 and enter 4000 and my PIN.
Created a second extension 4001 and connected my android phone. Extensions can reach each other plus voicemessages working.

The only difference I see is: I havenât install any samba part. I havenât touched it at all. And I install it on a real Dell Poweredge R710 server with two interfaces active. One for my internal network (192.168.10.0/24) and another for accessing directly to the internet. Also on addition Php-SCL and PhpMyAdmin has been installed. I donât think it may interfere with PBX
I will try to reproduce exactly your steps
Ok, I made minimum install as you described to exclude any other interference. Iâm testing only on soft phone this time. I can leave a message and I can listen it. The only problem I should go through mail set up every time I want to listen recorded message. For some reason voicemail setup starts every time I call *97 or *98.
How can I make system remember my voicemail set up?
Do you use the extension number as secret?

I should be less dumb then I am. Changing password helped.
Thank you to everyone helped me with all that staff, especially to mrmarkuz. I wasnât sure where I misconfigured it on a first place. (may be I havenât done it with AD). But now it works. At least I can make calls between extensions and voicemail works as designed. Letâs see where Iâll break it next time.
Youâre welcome. Thank you for providing such a case. It helps us to find these really difficult to find errors and to put the solution to a documentation/howto so in future this wonât happen again to other users.
We all know, one shouldnât have same passwords as extension or names because itâs very bad for security but for testing purposes I do it as well just to remember my testuser/testpasswords easier, so it has nothing to do with being dumb, itâs a kind of human weakness to like it comfortable. As we usually donât post passwords in the forum, I am happy in the end that it was possible to find this error.
I remember a weakpassword module in freepbx, maybe we can use it so users may be warned in future.
