[tharun_n]

Hi ,

If we take SSL certificate e need to specify a domain name but in the dashboard page we are having domain name with ip address (https://instanceip:8444/admin/).But we need .com or .in for the domain name to obtain ssl certificate.So how should we proceed?

Thanks,

Good day.

You should register a suitable domain name using GoDaddy, Google.Domains or other service, and bind the name to a server address using Internet.bs or other domain management tool.
Then, you should buy an SSL certificate for the domain name form any CA service. You can also get a free certificate from Let'sEncrypt, but in this case you have to renew it every 3 months. Paid certificate may be actual for years and more.

Hi ,

We are having an root domain for an application like www.xyz.com and we need to add flashphoner https://instance ip:8444/admin as subdomain and add the SSL certificate to the server level of flashphoner.Is this a valid method?

Is this a valid method?

You should add a name (CNAME) for your WCS instance IP address, for example phoner.xyz.com. Use Internet.bs or other domain management tool. Then, you should import a wildcard SSL certificate, for example *.xyz.com to WCS as described here. If you have just www.xyz.com certificate, you should buy wildcard one.

Hi Team,

1. Can we purchase a seperate domain name for flashphoner server and add basic SSL certificate (not wildcard) to it.
2.Can your team provide continuous (24/7) record option of streams, whether the streaming is running in background.

Yes you can, but wildcard looks smoother in production use.

2.Can your team provide continuous (24/7) record option of streams, whether the streaming is running in background.

Please clarify your case: what kind of streams you plan to record: WebRTC from browser, RTMP, RTSP?
