Take a look at the server-side API. There are several variations of the method IClient.rejectConnection that will send back the proper error status.

Hi,

is there a way to pass a parameter back to the client which can be used to detect the reason for disconnection?

i would love to be able to tell my client if his connection was rejected due to authentication error / if it was rejected by some other reason (i am using other server side modules too like limiting maximum number of connections). I was hoping to find a way to return a parameter to the client from the onConnect method … when the connection is rejected.

Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

(I am a veteran at java, rookie at wowza and novice at best at action script)

thanks,

Addy

can I just call a client Method (which is defined inside the client CustomNetConnection class) inside the onConnect so I would tell the client the reason of rejection/acceptance ?

omuleanu,

See this post for an example:

sendClientOnStatusError(client, "NetStream.Play.Failed", "The client IP was rejected");

I stumbled upon this method while digesting the wowza apis… am I moving in the right direction? :confused:

on the above thread Charlie has used the piece of code sendStreamOnStatusError(stream, “NetStream.Play.Failed”, "Access denied: "+streamName);

which looks like some way of telling the client “ACCESS DENIED” … am hoping to find something similar… but inside the onConnect method. In charlie’s code the play method has been overridden.

Help!!

thanks.

That sounds like a job for a content management platform such as Drupal or PHPNuke.

I’d imagine so, if you can query the user table in the CMS database.

Hi,

I want to add SQL user authentication to my membership website.

Is there anyone who could assist me? On here, email or via msn?

Hi mate,

I run Amember, its similar to PHPnuke and should work in the same way database wise.

Would this script work with it?

16

well currently I have icecast linking off the database and it works fine.

Now I need to find someone willing to help me install flash/wowza/authentication as I cant even get flash installed on my servers!

Tried both CentOS and Debian :(!!

I have emailed you John Thanks :slight_smile:
