Hello,

Seems that is not possible put the user and pwd authentication data directly inside application configuration(like old 3.6, per application pwd)

but only in the Server-\>Publisher list .

this mean that when deleting application is necessary manually delete user and pwd also from Publisher list (right ?)

how to configure per application pwd ? I think this help to keep more clean the pwd file …

thanks,

steve

Steve, What version of Wowza are you running?

Can you explain your process of configuration?

Any errors showing in the logs that may point to an issue?

Hi,

Please find an article below which shows how to set a password for publishing on a per application basis.

Steve, I am not positive that the new UI supports this, but you should still be able to configure application level user authentication via the old method.
