RTMP - Set a username and password for publisher

[RafaelRibeiro]

Hello!

How can I add a password and username to publishers on RTMP?

Good day.
You can pass credentials as RTMP connection parameters

rtmp://host:1935/live?user=val1&passwd=val2/streamName

then use /connect REST hook to authenticate a user.
RTMP connection parameters can also be passed as stream parameters if necessary

rtmp://host:1935/live/streamName?user=val1&passwd=val2

To do this, set the following parameter in flashphoner.properties file

rtmp_use_stream_params_as_connection=true

Where do you set the username and password on the server?

 

[Max]

You should set up a backend server to handle /connect REST hook, username and passord will be passed to it. Please look at user authentication by domain example that can be used as basis for your custom backend setup.

How does WCS connect to the WEB SERVER? Where can I configure it?

 

[tanjiro]

How does WCS post to a rest-hook? How do you configure the url to send the POST data?

You can do that from CLI

1. Connect to ssh localhost

ssh -p 2001 admin@localhost

2. List apps.

show apps

3. Update FlashStreamingApp if you publish from OBS or live encoder

update app -l "http://10.10.10.10/app" FlashStreamingApp

or Update defaultApp if you publish via Wevsocket/WebRTC

update app -l "http://10.10.10.10/app" defaultApp

The address 10.10.10.10 is your back-end server.

Hi Max,
