Hi,

When using moduleOnConnectAuthenticate then firstly ensure that authentication is disabled in Source Security for the particular app, and add the user and password query parameters to the RTMP connection URL, e.g.

```auto
Server: rtmp://[wowza-ip]:1935/live?username&password
Stream: myStream

```

By default the module will authenticate using the credentials found in [install-path]/conf/connect.password. Please see [this article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2%28ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2%29) for more details.
