Question

Securing Specific Videos by Username and Password

We currently have an FMS instance setup and running on AWS. We provide for a number of clients and one has queried if it is possible to secure their videos in some way. We are using Strobe Media Player to stream the videos which I assume will effect the outcome. Could someone please provide me with some details on how best to achieve this.

Many thanks in advance,

Steven

One of the ways to autheticate users for specific video is to send the "user-name" & "password" as parameters to connect URI and authenticate using auth plugin. You can process the connect URI under "IFmsAuthEvent::E_PLAY:" case and depending upon the stream name (which can be obtained from F_STREAM_NAME ) you can authenticate the users.

Please refer the auth plugin manual for more information : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0d662434-7fe8PluginAPI.html
