Description:	The Authenticate() application has a flag (d) that lets you state that the path provided by the first argument is the path to the AstDB key. Unfortunately I can't seem to make this work. When specifying the 'd' flag and providing the path to the AstDB, authentication never happens ****** STEPS TO REPRODUCE ****** <pre> *CLI> dialplan show Authentication [ Context 'Authentication' created by 'pbx_config' ]  'start' =>        1.

Comments:	By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2011-02-18 07:10:56.000-0600 Actually it appears as if I'm using it wrong. The way I was using it is how I would have expected it to work, but c'est la vie. The database key provided should be something like: /authentication/temp_password/1234 And the value of that family/key value doesn't matter, as the last key name is what gets used for the password, not the value. I'm leaving this open as a documentation task.
