Hello,

For specific application matters, I need to access Wowza Server on port 8087 using basic authentication.

When I set the AuthenticationMethod to “basic”, the manager stop working.

When I set the AuthenticationMethod to “basic,digest”, the basic authentication works correctly, the manager is able to access the server… but I realized I was able to connect through the manager with any password or login ! That is, i can connect with a non-existing login and with an empty password.

Am i missing a configuration ?

Thank you,

Ben
