    Try looking at the adapter.xml > Adaptor > Allow directive. However that may be for pull and push (record). I have never used this because we have written our own auth adapter in C where you have a lot more control (good starting point http://blog.denivip.ru/index.php/2011/01/flash-media-server-4-urls-tokenization/?lang=en). However it may be what you want...
