Token Authorization + RefererValidate

Wowza Video (Formerly Streaming Cloud)
1

Hi,

I currently use secure token v2 + RefererValidate to protect my stream that only work under my domain.

Now, I need CDN for one of my stream , I connect stream target to wowza cdn.

For secure token , I setup Token Authorization and Trusted Shared Secret.

I would like to know

1 : RefererValidate work with wowz CDN

2 : I use sample php code to generate “Generate query parameters”

, but nothing output. Is there a more simple hash generate code like secure token V2?

for secure token v2 , I used this code to generate hash

<?php $wowzastart = '0'; $wowzaend = strtotime(date('d-m-Y H:i')) + 1800; $secret = 'mysecret'; $wowzatoken = 'tokenname'; $hashstr = hash('sha512', 'stream-path?'.$secret.'&'.$wowzatoken.'endtime='.$wowzaend.'&'.$wowzatoken.'starttime='.$wowzastart.'', true); $usableHash= strtr(base64_encode($hashstr), '+/', '-_'); echo "http://wowza-ip/stream-path/playlist.m3u8?".$wowzatoken."endtime=".$wowzaend."&".$wowzatoken."starttime=".$wowzastart."&".$wowzatoken."hash=".$usableHash.""; ?>

hash will output and work well.

Hello @Silencer,

As you discovered, the Wowza Streaming Engine secure token will not work with the Wowza CDN. The Akamai CDN token auth handles all security playback requests.
