Use ModuleRTMPAuthenticate in the Security Addon:

Install the Wowza IDE [Wowza IDE](http://wowza.com/ide.html) and refer to the User Guide to get started. And there are many examples to help you get started:

I think you mean from FMLE. Take a look at this example:

You just need ModuleRTMPAuthenticate in the Security Addon to get the login challenge in FMLE

The Module /Class has path but no class name. See if this works:

```auto
<Module>
	<Name>Prueba_MySQL</Name>
	<Description>Prueba_MySQL</Description>
	<Class>com.wms.cehis.module.mysql5.Prueba_MySQL</Class>
</Module>

```

Restart Wowza to ensure that you reload the application.

but I can’t to runnig the example, I do not know if I am putting good step 5,

There any downloadable or tests to compare and debug my code?

Thanks

Thanks, Richard

The Login is good,

The parameters FMLE request for login without problem.

The problem is that it does not execute any query to MySQL, and JDBC are properly configured.

It’s as if they were reading the property.

With regard to the code, all I did was copy and paste into my Wowza IDE, and add the parameters in the Aplicattion.xml.

This is the Example that I am follow,

But when you say “Add this Property to the /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /Properties list” What is the position in which I include that property.

Specifically, what is the order?

Thanks

I followed all the steps in this link:

> Use the ModuleCoreSecurity module to intercept requests for username and password to use a database instead of a password file to authenticate encoders with Wowza Streaming Engine.

however, when I restart the Wowza server, printed a message that says:

Sorry, the problem in the last code was when I try to connect with my FMLE the validation of the User and password makes with the publish.password file, I want the validation with a MySQL database.
