RTMP authentication is handled in a separate AddOn package. It is here:

We currently do not have a way to extend this system to provide custom methods of authentication. The current system uses a username/password lookup in a flat file. I will consider extending this support hooks for plugin in other methods but for now it will stay this way.

The RTSP/RTP mechanism is more extensible. Again, it take a little work but it can be customized.
