I would like to restrict rtmp publishers to only those that use a token on the end of their streamname. I can’t use username/password because a lot of my users are publishing to both a CDN and the Wowza servers at the same time from FMLE. If they put the username/password in, it drops the CDN stream, if they don’t put the username/password in, anyone can stream to their accounts.

I don’t need to use the token for the player, only publishing.

I’ve tried utilizing the RTMP Authenticate module but have had no success.

Use the 2nd link Jason showed in your case: ModuleSecureURLParams
