Hi everyone,

My intention for using Wowza to perform live stream is allowing every user to initiate they live channel. Each user, after requesting, sends a request to Wowza server. The server will then call an API to contact my web server for authentication purpose before creating a live stream.

I do not know how to do this authentication handshake. Do we have a way to create a custom API inside Wowza rest api which calls my web server API?

Thank you!
