Is it possible to use the FlashRTMPPlayer software in the LiveVideoStreaming example with a Live application that has password authentication required? There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to enter the username and password.

Hi,

Our username and password authentication in WSEM is for publishing a stream not playing it. Perhaps the following article will provide you with some more information on player authentication.

[How to do file-based authentication with RTMP client and credentials in querystring of the RTMP URL (ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-file-based-rtmp-authentication-with-url-query-strings-onconnectauthenticate2)

Hi agajania, with passing parameter to your stream url like

rtmp://xxx/live?username=emre&password=123/new

[http://xxx:port/live/new/playlist.m3u8?username=emre&password=123](http://xxx:port/live/new/playlist.m3u8?username=emre&password=123)

then in wowza module, on connect methods overriding , you can reach the query string , then you are free to choose the auth mechanism .

I generally use webservices for it after taking the username and pw .

Hi,

For this, I believe you could use the article below.

[How to secure publishing from an RTMP encoder that does not support authentication](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-secure-publishing-from-an-rtmp-encoder-that-does-not-support-authentication-modulesecureurlparams%28ModuleSecureURLParams%29)

Thanks for your response. What I’m looking for is an app that will publish webcam video to the live application via RTMP with authentication.
