IAXRPT is a specialized windows soft phone program which allows users to connect from their PC's to an Allstar node. Setting up IAXRPT access is similar to seting up dial-in access, but a different command line switch is used in extensions.conf, and user autheorization is done in iax.conf.

Security Issues
| Incoming IAXRPT connections need to be authorized by making sure the incoming IAX user stanza is protected with a secret. This is the case because incoming IAX calls are not checked against a nodes stanza. |
Setup
First, a user stanza needs to added to iax.conf to allow incoming IAXRPT calls to be routed to a context in extensions.conf. A modified on the following stanza should be placed in iax.conf:
[gui] type=user context=radio-gui auth=md5 secret=nunya ; *** Important! Change this!!! host=dynamic disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=gsm transfer=no
Second, a context stanza is added to extensions.conf to transfer control to the Rpt application:
[radio-gui] exten = 1234,1,Rpt,1234|X ; Change 1234 to your node number
The X option passed to the Rpt application disables the normal security checks. Because incoming connections are validated in iax.conf, and we don't know where the user will be coming from in advance, the X option is required.
