Hi Guys,

I know this is not the Programming forums but this forums is related to the wowza and my question is totally related to the WOWZA.

I have check this JSON String

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/stream-targets-query-examples-push-publishing](https://www.wowza.com/docs/stream-targets-query-examples-push-publishing)

```auto
<?php
$username = 'test';
$password = 'test';
$data = array(
"restURI" => "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource",
"serverName" => "_defaultServer_",
        "sourceStreamName" => "myStream",
        "entryName" => "RTMP",
        "profile" => "rtmp",
        "host" => "rtmp",
        "application" => "myStream",
        "streamName"=> "test",
        "userName" => "",
        "password"=> "",
        "debugPackets"=>"true",
        "sendReleaseStream"=>"false",
        "sendStreamCloseCommands"=>"false",
        "debugLog"=>"true",
        "destinationName"=>"rtmp",
        ); 
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
$url = 'http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ':' . $password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec( $ch );
echo $result;
echo "data";

```

ERROR:

```auto

        Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
        Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:43:07 GMT

Hello,

Have you followed the steps here previously:

> **[Access reference documentation for the REST API](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-access-documentation-for-wowza-streaming-engine-rest-api)**
>
> Enable the local servlet and download reference documentaion for the Wowza Streaming Engine REST API.

to disable the authentication?

Can you then make these calls through the documentation interface?

If this has already been tested, can you post what you now have for:

> On the computer that has the Wowza Streaming Engine software installed, open the [install-dir]/conf/Server.xml file in a text editor.
> 
> Change the / property from:
> 
> digest
> 
> to:
> 
> DocumentationServerAuthenticationMethod\>none

Regards,

Jason Hatchett
