Hi,

Can anyone please help me with sending publish.password from AS3? I have wowza server with configured publish.password. When i connect from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 it prompts me for username and password. And after that, it works fine.

How I can do this from action script? I got error: NetStream.Publish.Failed (Not authorized to publish).

Actionscript:

nc = new NetConnection();

nc.connect(rtmpUrl, myUsername, myPassword); \<\< i guess this is ok for connect.password, but not for publish.password

…

…

nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);

nsPublish.publish(streamName); \<\< this one gives me error “NetStream.Publish.Failed (Not authorized to publish)”

Thank you and best regards,

Ivan

RTMP authentication is not supported in Flash applications. [Here is an alternative](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2)
