Hello Folks,

I am running Wowza on OS X10.5.

We presently use the mod_auth_ldap module to authenticate access to the web server on this box. What is the recommended method for authenticating access to the Wowza media using ldap?

Thank you,

ross.

Should be pretty easy to do by sending login/authentication parameters to the server onConnect event method through the client side NetConnection.connect(url, [params]…) method. This post covers how to do authentication against a database:

I believe Java contains the code to communicate with an LDAP server. If you do a little Googling around you should find some sample code. Here is an interesting looking article:
