Hi, I have a misunderstanding with Origin-Edge configuration, I mean:

I created a Origin Edge configuration like appears in the tutorials and I was expecting to see the same streams that I have in Origin to appear on Edge configuration but nothing appears

Then I saw the target stream option and I tried it and then it worked when I put the live app as the destination, it doesn’t work with the liveEdge app that I configured, so

1. If I want to use Origin-Edge, had I to setup target streams? shouldn’t work without target streams?

2. why is not working the target stream with liveEdge app? (it says something about authentication but I set all the security to none)
