Hi, I re-stream video from an IP camera (RTSP/RTP re-streaming) but some IP cameras need Authentication. In many models i can disable Authentication for RTSP. **But for security reason this may not be the right solution.** Does WOWZA server support this kind of authentication? If so while I re-stream RTSP/RTP source according to to the tutorial [How to re-stream video from an IP camera](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming)where should I put IP cameras username-password pairs? Best Wishes Mahmut ---

It simply works ```auto rtsp://username:password@192.168.X.XXX/stream1 ``` without any other setting. Thanks… Mahmut ---

Please see this doc on how to accomplish this: **[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-enable-username-password-authentication-for-rtmp-and-rtsp-publishing#rtsp](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-enable-username-password-authentication-for-rtmp-and-rtsp-publishing#rtsp)** ---

you usually have to enter the complete address when creating the stream files, the address syntax depends on the cam manufacturer or model, but it´s usually this way: rtsp://USER:PASS@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 ---
