Hello,

I am trying to implement rtmp encoder authentication by MediaSecurity\_2.0.zip pack on Wowza 3.03

Encoder when try to connect ask for username and password and then connect to server on providing of credentials.

I want to give username and password in RTMP single line address instead of popup of user/password menu like [livestream.com](http://livestream.com) do:

www.livestream.com/userguide/index.php?title=Use\_Flash\_Media\_Encoder\_On2\_Flix\_live\_or\_Wirecast\_with\_Livestream

The implemented username and password in a single line address in [livestream.com](http://livestream.com) is:

rtmp://publish.livestream.com/mogulus/[your\_channel]/username=[username]/password=[password]/isAutoLive=[true|false]

Tell me how can i implement it. I used similarly like this but its not working.

I’m not sure that is possible with FMLE. If Basic authentication was possible you could put username and password in from of the domain, but I don’t see that option in FMLE.

You could use this method instead:

Yes i am using this module but the problem is that this authentication is working on both encoder and player side.

I need authentication on encoder side only.
