Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello,

O followed the steps from “How to create a self-signed SSL certificate” tutorial. I’ve been created the certificate but I already don’t understand some points:

  1. how to configure my application to use it

  2. how to configure the url player and player to access this application.

Can you help me?

Hi,

Please see the article below for configuration details.

How to get SSL certificates from the StreamLock service

The URL in the player needs to point to the StreamLock.net name.

Server: rtmps://StreamLockID.streamlock.net/vod

Stream: mp4:sample.mp4

Hi,

Currently JW Player does not support RTMPS, so that part, at least, is not going to work.

If you were to use HLS in JW Player instead, then you could use HTTPS, which JW player does support.

Jason,

I don’t intend to use StreamLock service for now but a self-signed SSL certificate. I followed the steps below:

  1. I created a self-signed SSL certificate named “ssl.dns024967.jks” in the path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0.1\conf”.

  2. I modified the VHost.xml file to enable SSL port

I set the SSLConfig/KeyStorePath value to

${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/ssl.dns024967.jks

and

set

SSLConfig/KeyStorePassword
  1. My application modules are configurated on the server according this:

base Base com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleCore

logging Client Logging com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleClientLogging

flvplayback FLVPlayback com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleFLVPlayback

ModuleCoreSecurity Core Security Module for Applications com.wowza.wms.security.ModuleCoreSecurity

My Custom Module My Custom Module br.com.bbts.modulos.MyCustomModule

ModuleRequireSecureConnection ModuleRequireSecureConnection com.wowza.wms.plugin.security.ModuleRequire

But There’s a step at the tutorial that I did not understand:

You must configure a domain name entry for the domain chosen above and all communications that use port 443 must use either SSL or RTMPS and the domain name specified in the certificate.

What does it mean?

Look at my player configuration:

[HTML]jwplayer(“myElement1”).setup({

file: “rtmp://dns024967/live/myStream”,

height: 480,

width: 704,

image: “/assets/myVideo.jpg”,

rtmp: {

bufferlength: 1.0,

}

});[/HTML]

In this case I receive the message:

INFO server comment - MediaCasterStreamValidator.init[live/_definst_]: Started
INFO server comment - ModuleCoreSecurity.onAppStart[live/_definst_]: Publish: AllowedEncoders: securityPublishValidEncoders:Wirecast/|FME/|FMLE/

INFO session comment 1418295069 ModuleRequireSecureConnection.onConnect: rejectConnection: clientId:1418295069
INFO session connect 10.8.1.172 -

In another way (the configuration below), i do not identify the request:

[HTML]jwplayer(“myElement2”).setup({

file: “rtmps://ssl.dns024967/live/myStream”,

image: “/assets/myVideo.jpg”,

height: 256,

width: 340

});[/HTML]
