Anyone know how I would set up so when someone calls an extension, it asks for a password?

And if someone can figure it out, how would I restrict it to only outside callers would have to do it, but internal callers wouldn't have to.

Thanks in advance for any help!

To explain more clearly:

Someone calls in and tries to dial extension 789.

It asks caller for a password.

If password is correct, call goes through.

If password is incorrect, call hangs up.

Thanks!

You could get your hands dirty and make a custom context.

As a very short example,(please expand to suit) where 987 as the acceptable password,

[custom-allowme]
include => from-internal
exten => s,1,read(PASSWORD,vm-password,3)
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${PASSWORD}" = "987"]?from-internal,789,1:hangup)

make a "custom destination" that points to

custom-allowme,s,1

and send external calls there, I believe it is close to a direct implementation of your posted "pseudo code", if you find that useful please take it from there.
