Hello, in which way did I have to add the parameters for the AMFDataList-object?
I used the example for the user authentication: ([https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-user-authentication-for-flash-rtmp-client-using-jdbc-connection-to-mysql-database](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-user-authentication-for-flash-rtmp-client-using-jdbc-connection-to-mysql-database)).
```auto
public void onConnect(IClient client, RequestFunction function, AMFDataList params)
{
String userName = getParamString(params, PARAM1);
String password = getParamString(params, PARAM2);
```
I tryed to parse parameters about the url “rtmp://a:b@localhost/test” and “rtmp://localhost/test?a&b” without success. I use the Flowplayer. Did I have to add the parameters there?
Thanks.

The AMFDatalist contains the parameters sent in the connect function and I believe that the A:B@localhost etc is not a supported method in Flash so this will not work.
You will need to modify the FlowPlayer code and change the connect function so adding the username/password as part of that, it is not trivial.

You can get the querystring from the connect url
```auto
String[] qs =client.getQueryStr().split("&");
getLogger().info(qs[0]);
```

Ah ok. In this case the sample code “User Authentication” is for people, who programmed their own flashplayer, right? Thats a pitty. Is there an other posibility for a user authenticaton with password?

Great! Works fine.
