Hello,

I enabled the token authorization on a “Stream targets” but I have a message saying "

Your authorization configuration is being prepared. This may take a few minutes."

It’s been 3 hours… how long does it take ?

Hello Stephane,

Yes, there is still an issue with token auth and geo blocking on the Wowza Cloud platform currently. Please be sure to check out [Status Site](https://status.wowza.com/) for the latest updates.

You will see the current post there that refers to this issue.

For now, please log a support request (if you haven’t already) and provide the stream target details and we can request a manual provisioning for your token auth need.

I hope this clarifies.

Regards,

Mac

Hey @Mac Hill - How are we looking with this issue? We’re looking at provisioning a half dozen new streaming locations over the next few weeks and could really do with a quick turnaround on token generation. Are you still handling this on a case-by-case, or are you working on automating the process again?

Cheers!

George
