univocal code for avoid fraudolent stream view .
any customer have already experience about this configuration ?
what can i do for make secure this environment ? is available some web solution able to working with Wowza server for pay per view solution ?
thanks

There isn’t anything built in to Wowza to support this, but a module can be developed to support authentication against an external service, or authentication against an external service.
The idea here is that you would develop a web service to allow users to log in or otherwise authenticate, and the webservice would generate an authentication token that would be provided in the request for the stream (as either a GET variable or connection argument in the case of RTMP, and a GET variable in the case of HTTP and RTSP requests). When the request is received on the Wowza side, the wowza module would then either authenticate the token internally, or make a call to the webservice to authenticate externally.
Regardless, the payment structure and user management will happen outside of the wowza environment.
