Publish stream for specific users

There are a couple of ways to do it.

The simplest way would be to keep a list of usernames/passwords in an array in an .asc file, and then validate credentials in the application.onConnect or application.onPublish methods (whichever suits your needs best).

You can pass the credentials from the client in two ways... as query string vars or as vars passed as arguments in the onConnect:

nc.connect("rtmp://myfms.com/app?username=foo&password=bar");

nc.connect("rtmp://myfms.com/app", "foo", "bar");

In your application.onConnect, you'll grab these vars and store them for use when you validate the client. If you're using query vars, you'll inspect the client.uri property to extract them.

In the method where you'd like to authenticate, you'll compare the supplied credentials to the valid credentials. Let's assume you're passing the credentials to FMS as arguments in your nc.connect method. On the server side, the code might look something like this (don't copy and paste this... it's a rough example):

application.onAppStart = function(){

application.validUsers = new Array();

application.validUsers[0] = {username:foo, password:bar}

application.validUsers[1] = {username:foo2, password:bar2}

}

application.onConnect = function(client, username, password){

client.username = username;

client.password = password;

}

application.onConnect = function(client, stream){

   var valid = false;

   for(var a=0;a<application.validUsers.length; a++){

      if(client.username == application.validUsers.username && client.password == application.validUsers.password){

         // Valid

        valid = true;

        break;

      }

   }

   if(!valid){

      // This user does not have permission to publish. Do something about it

     application.disconnect(client);

   }

}

This is just one way of doing it. You could also store your credentials in a database, and build a webservice for FMS to connect to for validation.
