Hi,

To use a per application you’ll first need to copy the [Wowza-Install]/conf/publish.password file to the [Wowza-Install]/conf/[AppName]/ directory.

For the application to use this new file, add the following Custom Property using Wowza Streaming Engine Manager

Path: /Root/Application

Name: rtmpEncoderAuthenticateFile

Type: String

Value: ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/publish.password

Or edit the Application.xml file using a text editor and add to the Properties container at the bottom and save the changes.

<Property>
	<Name>rtmpEncoderAuthenticateFile</Name>
	<Value>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/publish.password</Value>
	<Type>String</Type>
</Property>

After editing the application (using either method) you’ll need to restart the application for the changes to take effect.

Regards,

Jason

Note: the Property required is the same one documented in the following article and is added to the same place.
