Hi,

I would like to set parameters of “live \> Source Security” by using xml file.

But I can’t find where the parameters are.

- RTMP Sources : Open

- RTSP Sources : Open

- Client Restrictions : Only allow publishing from the following IP addresses: 127.0.0.1

Please tell me how to set parameters of “Source Security” with xml file.

Thanks,

Ami

Hello Ami,

You would be changing the Application.xml file in several locations.

For the RTMP Sources just make sure the following Property is either not added or is set to false:

```auto
			<Property>
				<Name>securityPublishRequirePassword</Name>
				<Value>false</Value>
				<Type>Boolean</Type>
			</Property>

```

For the RTSP Sources setting the PublishMethod to none would set the authentication to Open.

```auto
		<RTP>
			<Authentication>
				<PublishMethod>none</PublishMethod>
			</Authentication>
		</RTP>

```

The Client Restrictions setting is also managed by a property just like the RTMP Sources

```auto
			<Property>
				<Name>securityPublishIPWhiteList</Name>
				<Value>127.0.0.1</Value>
				<Type>String</Type>
			</Property>

```

Hope this helps,

Alex
