Thank you klaus, what you say makes sense, but I was under the impression that it could be set from the config file, I will take a look at the kamctl script

I just tried and the phones register but I still see the password on the password column as clear text.

modparam("auth_db", "db_url", DBURL)
modparam("auth_db", "calculate_ha1", 0)
modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "ha1")
modparam("auth_db", "load_credentials", "")
modparam("auth_db", "use_domain", MULTIDOMAIN)

I create the users like this:

kamctl add 300 abc

Hello
I am trying to store the password on the subscriber db as encrypted instead of plain text and when I do it then the registration fails,

modparam("auth_db", "db_url", DBURL)
modparam("auth_db", "calculate_ha1", yes)
modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "ha1")
modparam("auth_db", "load_credentials", "")
modparam("auth_db", "use_domain", MULTIDOMAIN)

If I change the 3rd line to this it works but it shows the password in clear text:

modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "password")

This is how my subscriber table is defined

mysql> describe subscriber;
+---------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field         | Type             | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+---------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id            | int(10) unsigned | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| username      | varchar(64)      | NO   | MUL |         |                |
| domain        | varchar(64)      | NO   |     |         |                |
| password      | varchar(25)      | NO   |     |         |                |
| email_address | varchar(64)      | NO   |     |         |                |
| ha1           | varchar(64)      | NO   |     |         |                |
| ha1b          | varchar(64)      | NO   |     |         |                |
| rpid          | varchar(64)      | YES |     | NULL    |                |
+---------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

and this is how it looks like in the db:

[root@registrar ~]# /usr/local/kamailio-3.1/sbin/kamctl db show subscriber
+----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
| id | username | domain        | password | email_address | ha1                              | ha1b                             | rpid |
+----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
| 1 | 100      | 192.168.169.1 | abc      |               | 4a169916d58247f9e7eac55251fa7467 | 28787e5b5d3a2c6e2e0a80d3e9e3c6de | NULL |
| 2 | 200      | 192.168.169.1 | abc      |               | 0b15f8f9e348ec64a2e7d5fca6b629c3 | 99eea8b456956d67e7915ed9c96e420b | NULL |
+----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+------+

please give me hand figuring this one out, I can't see what I am doing wrong
