mod_event_socket Password

[Griffinm84]

We are looking at the config and see that the Event Socket password is set by default to "ClueCon". I was wondering if one was to change the password in the fusion GUI, if that could negatively effect the connection to the switch?

Hi. Yes I remember changing this one thinking I would make it something more "secure" but then found out it lost connectivity to freeswitch. I couldn't view active calls or registrations so I changed it back. Not sure what else it affected.

isnt it a security flaw if the event socket only works with the known password?

The event socket only listens on the loopback adapter by default so no threat.
