Is exist any module , whitch can enable RTMP publish authentication from URL ? like ```auto rtmp://user:pass@wowza_adress:1935/application ? ``` or the same for rtsp authentication ? ```auto rtsp://user:pass@wowza_adress/application ``` ---

You can use URL params as shown in this [example](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-secure-publishing-from-an-rtmp-encoder-that-does-not-support-authentication-modulesecureurlparams%28moduleSecureURLParams%29). You’d put the credentials on the end of the URL. ---

What are you trying to do, secure RTMP publishing? If so, take a look at the the MediasSecurity Addon’s ModuleRTMPAuthenticate [https://www.wowza.com/docs/media-security-overview](https://www.wowza.com/docs/media-security-overview) Otherwise, explain in detail what you are doing and what you are trying to prevent, exactly.

Randall : Yes … it works OK … on FMLE … Where server/application and stream\_name are 2 fields … How to use it on FFMPEG , where is only one line ? this not works : ```auto rtmp://wowza_adress:1935/application/streamname/_definst_/doPublish=12345 ``` ---

I see same problem … I setup ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 by guide … It works in FMLE in two fields (rtmp://wowza/application?user&pass , and second field is streamname) … But not works in single field rtmp://wowza/application/streamname?user&pass ---

> Note that the onConnect method runs for both Flash publishers and Clients. There are other examples in the Security section of the Tutorials to overide onPlay (for clients only) or onPublish (for publishers only). Does ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 support onPlay and onPublish methods ? or just onConnect ? I cant see it in Tutorials … I need only onPublish … onPlay will be without authentication … ---

Pytkin, Sorry I mixed up “QueryString” and “URLParms”. I meant to give you a different module the first time. Here is a module that parses the URL for the QueryString, so that you can use encoders that don’t support RTMP authentication: [ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2). Note that the onConnect method runs for both Flash publishers and Clients. There are other examples in the Security section of the Tutorials to overide onPlay (for clients only) or onPublish (for publishers only). ---

secureURLParams doesn’t work with ffmpeg. I’ve tried everything I can think of to refactor the rtmp URL form to get Wowza to pick up the stream name and the ‘doPublish’ and nothing works. ---
