I have not found any way to require a certain publisher to an application or even better, a stream name within an application.

I would like to make sure that one live publisher credentials can only send to a certain stream, preferably without creating a live-application for every publisher. Any hints on how to achieve this would be appreciated.

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

There is nothing built-in to do exactly what you are after, but you can use this module as a starting place and extend it or modify it to only allow publishing a certain stream name:

[How to limit publishing of live streams by IP list (ModuleOverridePublishRestrictIP)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-limit-publishing-of-live-streams-by-ip-list)

If you find you need assistance with this project you can post a request to the [find a consultant forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7)
