FMS 3.5 Authentification Add-In

Hey everyone,

So I have a FMS 3.5, which I want to do live streams. The thing is I want several different people to be able to do the live broadcast, and I would like the server locked down at least a little and not allow anyone that wants to, to start a broadcast.

With that said, I have FMS 3.5 installed, and I installed the Authentificaiton Add-In (3.0). I added a user to the authentification add-in, but it's still doesn't require a username / password, doesn't even prompt me.

Is there a setting / config I have to set to enable this?

    Follow this link

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaEncoder/2.5/help.html?content=config_automate_33.html this tells how to configure Flash Media Encoder 2.5 Authentication Add-in.

    After installing Authentication Add-in open command prompt go to FMS installed directory and then go to conf directory and use following commands to create user and check it :

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\conf> users add -u <username> -p <password>

    Operation Successful:  New user entry added.

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\conf> users check -u <username> -p <password>

    Operation Successful:  Username and password match.

    You will be prompted for username/password on FMLE side which is used to publish to FMS and not on FMS side.

    I hope this will be useful. If still getting problems provide some other details like which FMLE and Authentication module you are using.

    Regards,

    Amit

    Thank you for the answer, but like I said in the original post, I have already installed it and put in users. I have checked that the users are valid and everything appears fine on that end.

    After I did that, I restarted the fms & adminserver. After noticing no changes, I restarted the whole system just to make sure it wasn't something else.

    FYI: This is a linux based machine.

    Can I know which publishing client are you using to connect to fms? And also authentication prompt will come when some body tries to connect using FMLE(publisher) to FMS and not with any custom publisher. With custom publishers you will not be prompted and connection will fail with message NetConnection.Connect.Closed.
