Hi,

This [thread](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/37912) both reports and resolves a similar problem.

Basically the solution is to use [SecureURLParams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-secure-publishing-from-an-rtmp-encoder-that-does-not-support-authentication-modulesecureurlparams%28ModuleSecureURLParams%29), a different method of authentication.
