Hi,

I was reading the following guide:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-wowza-media-server-to-use-proxy-server-to-communicate-with-license-server](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-wowza-media-server-to-use-proxy-server-to-communicate-with-license-server)

I do not want to store the password in plain text. Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks,

Hello

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community

Here is an article that can enable SSL on the manager UI:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/How-to-configure-security-using-Wowza-Streaming-Engine-Manager](https://www.wowza.com/docs/How-to-configure-security-using-Wowza-Streaming-Engine-Manager)

Other than that, that is the only option we have for security.

Hope this helps. IF any further questions, feel free to contact us.

regards,

Jermaine
