Question

Staus 401 for some of the connections

Hi,

In the FMS log I see status 401 (on connection) for some of my clients.
According to the docs, 401 stands for "Connection rejected by the application script", What does it mean? What might cause that? Why some of the user works fine, and other don't ?

Thanks,

Ofer

    Hi Ofer,

    It means that an attempt to either connect to an application, publish a stream, or play a stream was rejected by a server-side script or by the application. Which event is it -- the log will say "connect", "publish", or "play"? Does the app have a server-side script with logic to reject certain connections? Also, you can edit the Adaptor.xml and Vhost.xml configuration files to reject connections from certain domains and IP addresses, could that be the case here? Or are you using SWF Verification? Could someone be attempting to connect from an unauthorized SWF file?

    Hi Jody,
    The 401 message is on a "connect" attempt.
    I'm not a FMS expert, so there is no server script running (to the best of my knoweldge). its running under the default "vod" application.
    Also I'me using the SWFObject, with jw player, all over the application.
    Can it be something different on the client side ? (proxy, reverse proxy, firewall....)

    Thanks again,

    Ofer
