Hi, I forced with one issue setting up ModuleRefererValidate module.

It has been enabled fine and I’ve got log messages about connection rejection. But when I changed _ **refererValidateReferers** _ property to add my IP address - I didn’t get any changes! I tried to restart aimed application, restart Wowza as a whole, but it still prints in logs _**ModuleRefererValidate.checkSession [“my\_ip\_add”: null]**_

That’s how I applied this property in my _ **conf/myapp/Application.xml** _

> refererValidateDebugLog
> 
> true
> 
> Boolean
> 
> refererValidateReferers
> 
> localhost, 121.2.3.4, 125.6.7.8
> 
> String
> 
> refererValidateImagePath
> 
> /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/content/image.gif
> 
> String

Is it right to put properties inside of the last application directive?

The **refererValidateReferers** property is the domain names or ip addresses of the web servers that will be serving player pages that connect to your server. It isn’t the ip addresses that are allowed to connect.

Do you actually have a web server on **121.2.3.4 or 125.6.7.8**?
