Hello to all,
sending streaming with Adobe FMLE 3.2.
I’ve noticed that I can send the stream, without the server asking me the password. I entered the username and password in the file conf / publish.password, like this: user password. But it does not work, continue to publish the stream without the password prompt. What are the steps to enable password protection? I do not want to use dbase / password, I would like a simple authentication, user password.
Thank you !
You need to enable ModuleRTMPAuthenticate, then you will get password challenge in FMLE. Take a look at this guide:

I forgot … with FMLE gui, it works fine, I check a popup window, with a request for user and passwd, I enter the credentials and can transmit the video …
You can probably use SecureURLParams instead of ModuleRTMPAuthenticate for that:
Richard
I don’t have experience with FMLECmd, but take a look at this reference:
Looks like you put username and password with /ap setting, but I am not sure if that will get passed to Wowza using ModuleRTMPAuthenticate.
Did you try this form with ModuleRTMPAuthenticate
rtmp://username:pwd@[wowza-address]/appName
Richard
and whats the problem ? im using it about a 2-3 years without problems …
The problem is that, with FMLEcmd.exe, I can not do authentication on the server with a username and password. With the gui, I can, but with command line (FMLEcmd.exe), the connection is refused by the server.
im using it daily , and it works … /r switch is for registering automatic starting with launcher … if U want to run FMLEcmd manually , dont use it …
JasonH : you example is OK…
"C:\Programmi\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2\FMLECmd.exe" /p "C:\profiles\newstream.xml" /ap user:passwd
after this command FMLEcmd will start with newstream.xml (previously saved from FMLE GUI), and authenticated with user and passwd … If U add /r switch , then this stream will be registered for automatical starting with FMLElauncher … If U want to show all registered streams , then run
"C:\Programmi\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2\FMLECmd.exe" /r
If U want autostart of registered streams , u need add start FMLElauncher.exe into task scheduler in windows …
Hi
Can you post the FMLEcmd you’re submitting?, you can edit the username/password part and any other specifics such as IP address.
Jason
Hi
Try this command:
"C:\Programmi\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2\FMLECmd.exe" /p "C:\profiles\newstream.xml" /ap user:passwd /r
I think that you may have made a mistake when entering the command, just so you know whats been changed :
I’ve removed the spaces where I believe they’re not needed, I’ve replaced “3,2” with “3.2” (possible typo), added extra quotes ("") and removed “/l” from the command as its not needed.
I’ve noticed that you have “Programmi” rather than Programme but I assume that this is because you’re OS is not in English, this may mean that 3,2 will work so do check as I’m not familiar with Windows in any other language.
You may also need a “P” for C:\profiles\newstream.xml - C:\Profiles\newstream.xml but you willl have to check the path for typos.
I hope I’ve provided some help to you and hope that you get this working.
Jason
Hi
@Pytkin, I think it would be much more helpful for everyone if your comments were constructive.
If you have experience in using FMLEcmd then posting the exact command that you’re using would be helpful for others struggling with this issue.
A perfect working example would be much appreciated.
Jason
Hi Pytkin,
Thanks for the example it’s a big help!
Hopefully this will provide the needed guidance to this user and others.

Hi,
Please forgive me if this is just a typo on your end but the Module and the Property have to be in the same Application.xml file.
based on the description able they are in different Application.xml files.
Can you clarify if this is correct and if so try adding to the same file.
Do you see anything in the Wowza logs which would indicate an issue or possible cause?
Jason
Hi,
You’re welcome, I’m glad we could be of assistance.
Thanks for the update.
Jason
Ok, it works in FMLE, request a popup window.
But I use FMLECmd command line, how do I send the username and password automatically without request?
Again, thanks!
You can probably use SecureURLParams instead of ModuleRTMPAuthenticate for that:

Nothing, with FMLECmd.exe I can not pass a string that contains user and password.
What to do?
I’ve got to start FMLECmd automatically, so I have to find a way to enter the username and passoword in the string rtmp

Possible don’t there is a solution?
I tried so
rtmp / ip / live? doPublish = 12345
rtmp / ip: 1935/live? doPublish = 12345

Using / ap user: pwd, do something different …
FMLECmd.exe using a string without / ap the result is this:

Hello,
So, I made these attempts:
“C: \ Programmi \ Adobe \ Flash Media Live Encoder 3,2 \ FMLECmd.exe” /p c:\profiles\newstream.xml /l c:\profile\log\log.txt /ap user:passwd /r
“C: \ Programmi \ Adobe \ Flash Media Live Encoder 3,2 \ FMLECmd.exe” /p c:\profiles\newstream.xml /l /ap user:passwd c:\profile\log\log.txt /r
“C: \ Programmi \ Adobe \ Flash Media Live Encoder 3,2 \ FMLECmd.exe” /p c:\profiles\newstream.xml /l /ap user:passwd /r
Thanks !

The problem is that, with FMLEcmd.exe, I can not do authentication on the server with a username and password. With the gui, I can, but with command line (FMLEcmd.exe), the connection is refused by the server.
Returning to Question replied by rrlanhan, I have the Wowza Version 3.6.2 running in Windows 2012 server. I tried to configure the ModuleRTMPAuthenticate as instruction at https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-enable-username-password-authentication-for-rtmp-and-rtsp-publishing. But not works. If I try to use In FMS URL field rtmp://[ip-address]:1935/point the encoder is connecting directly without request login/password. If I try use rtmp://[ip-address]/point, it requests login/password, but when informed the correct information returns that the user or password are invalid.
Bellow I show what I informed in files:
flvplayback
FLVPlayback
com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleFLVPlayback
ModuleRTMPAuthenticate
ModuleRTMPAuthenticate
com.wowza.wms.security.ModuleRTMPAuthenticate
maxApplicationConnections
2000
Integer
rtmpEncoderAuthenticateFile
${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/publish.password
After done it, I restarted the wowza, but not works.
Someone can help me to solve this issue? I done the same in an early version, like 3.1 and worked fine. But in this last version not is working.
I wait any reply to solve this issue.
Thanks
Pedro
You need to enable ModuleRTMPAuthenticate, then you will get password challenge in FMLE. Take a look at this guide:
