Understanding the Issue:
The error message "Sorry, Your Phone Login and Password are Not Active in This System" can be confusing, even though you have entered right phone login and password, but it simply means that there's a problem with your vicidial configuration and vicidial mode of working.
Possible causes and Troubleshooting:
Here's the list of possible causes for this particular vicidial issue and troubleshooting the same.
Incorrect Login Credentials:
Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the right one. Double-check your login details—username and password—to ensure they're entered correctly. Typos or outdated credentials can lead to this error.
Special characters :
By default vicidial wont support the use of special characters (@ # $ % etc) in the login credentials ,while submitting the configuration the special characters are removed and only the AphaNumeric characters are saved in the Database.
Asterisk configuration file update:
Once a new phone login is created in the vicidial , it will take approximately 1 to 3 minutes to update the phone entries in the asterisk configuration file which in turn become active in the asterisk sip peers.
So wait for 1 to 3 minute once you create new phone entry in vicidial followed to that login to agent portal with newly created phone login and password.
if still you face the issue "phone login and password is not active" follow the below troubleshooting steps
1. Check the newly added phone entry is update in asterisk configuration file, if it is SIP phone check the sip.conf file,which is located under /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
vi /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
if it is iax protocol phone then check the iax.conf
vi /etc/asterisk/iax.conf
2. Check the SIP or IAX peer entries update in asterisk running config type the below command to check whether the peers are updated
asterisk -rx "sip show peers"
asterisk -rx "iax2 show peers"
If the entries are updated in sip.conf or iax.conf but not updated in the asterisk running config, then run the reload command to update configs to running configs
asterisk -rx "sip reload"
asterisk -rx "iax2 reload"
or better run full reload , make sure no calls are active in systems
asterisk -rx "reload"
3. If the phone entries not updated in the sip.conf or iax.conf then run the below vicidial script in the linux console and follow the above steps to make sure phone entries are updated in asterisk
/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl --debugX
Asterisk running as service on startup
The most mistake while installing the vicidial in scratch install is the running the asterisk as a service at startup instead of running in background by vicidial. Vicidial by default runs the asterisk on background as screen where the configuration will be update by the vicidial scripts. Stop the asterisk running as service at startup by running below command
chkconfig asterisk off
Vicidial Phone status:
Make sure the phone status is set to active in the vicidal admin portal under ADMIN > Phones > Modify phones.
Vicidial Phone Protocol:
Make sure the phone Client Protocol is set properly either SIP or IAX according to your endpoint device. Also if any template is attached to phone entry make sure the settings without any syntax error or overwrite or duplicate entry
