I tried to implement authentication use the following post : [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2) The problem is that even when I do not enter the username and password in the URL , my client STILL CAN CONNECT to the application. I have already restarted the application several times but the problems still occured. I checked on the module list and I saw this line : moduleOnConnectAuthenticate Authenticates RTMP in Flash. com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 Does this module still work with the newest version of Wowza ( I am using the Developer License) ?? My client still can connect to the application even when I do not enter the username and password or put wrong username and password in it. Please tell me how to resolve this. Thanks. ---

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum. Please work through this guide, as it sounds like you have not properly configured the module: [How to do file-based authentication with RTMP client and credentials in querystring of the RTMP URL (ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2) Edit](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2%28ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2%29) Please let us know if you are still having trouble after you followed the guide correctly. Kind regards, Salvadore ---

The link I gave is the same as the link you gave. I restarted and also checked on the modules list (as I mentioned above). I also open Incoming Security \> RTMP Publishing \> Require Password Authentication . In the Modules list of my application, I also saw moduleOnConnectAuthenticate Authenticates RTMP in Flash. com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 I also restarted the application. I followed every step of the guide. Only for the usernamePasswordProviderClass, I do not set because I don’t use it. What makes you think I did not follow the guide correctly ?? Please tell me how to solve this. Thank you. ---

I am looking forward to your reply. sorry the email display was a bit mess up: Instead of _In the Modules section, I have this line_ _moduleOnConnectAuthenticate_ _In the Properties, Custom Properties I have this line :_ _Authenticates RTMP in Flash. com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2_ _/Root/Application rtmpAuthenticateFile String ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/connect.password_ _It should be_ _In the Modules section, I have this line_ _moduleOnConnectAuthenticate Authenticates RTMP in Flash. com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.module.ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2_ _In the Properties, Custom Properties I have this line :_ _/Root/Application rtmpAuthenticateFile String ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/connect.password_
