Question

FMS Security

Hi,

Is it possible to control who can stream to my streaming server?

I have 4 locations in Europe that have a pc with a Webcam and Flash Media Encoder Installed

Each FME is profiled to stream to my FMS and I have a 4 Camera Console Built for Live Meeting Situations. It works fine.

It seems though that the local "IT" guys have figured out the rtmp streaming path and I have seen on FMS on several occasions these guys having their own "Video Chats" just by changing the stream name.

I want to stop this if possible.

Any suggestions or ideas would be grateful.

    I assume that you have FMSS 3 edition, SWF authentication should help in following way:
    1. Using your swf with "hard coded stream name" & enable swf authentication FMS to allow only your swf to connect to FMS.
    OR/AND
    2. take stream name parameters from HTML page hosted on you HTTP domain + enable HTML & SWF domain authentication using relevant .txt files in {Program Files}/Flash Media Server 3/applications/live. This would help in ensuring that your swf is allowed only when it is hosted on trusted machine and loaded on a trusted HTML page.


    On the other hand, FMIS has full scripting, authentication plugin support etc.

    I hope this helps.

    hi,

    can you be more specific in FMSS security? I'm interested in blocking other connections to the server with flash media encoder. I want to be able to grand acces to a specific list of IPs. Thank you very much
