SWF Verification with chat login?

Question

HI All,I am having a problem/confusion, please clear out the issue.When i apply SWF Verification on a chat application (which has video and audio streaming as well) everything is fine, video and audio streaming works when same file exists in SWF folder and all that, shared objects only works when swf files match etc. But user cannot connect to a chat session.We can see the list of rooms available to join(because they come through shared object) but when we try to join a room FMS rejects user.In FMS Admin console it throws exception when FMS rejects login. When we provide that exception(FlashCom/3.0.4 or FlashCom/3.0.1 depending upon which version we'r using) in the <UserAgentExceptions> tag the login works fine and chat session is created, but then FMS is not secure anymore, we can connect from any other swf file also which donot exist in SWFs folder.On the Adobe SWF Verrification help page it says Note: SWF files connecting to Flash Media Administration Server cannot be verified.Is this note related to my problem? I think it is, if it is then what is the solution?Anyone know what exception should be provided to only allow chat session verification to pass or something like that.

No, this is specific that you're having FMS connect back to FMS itself, and it's not capable of being s SWF Verification client. So, you'll need to open that hole in SWF Verification like you wanted. However, you should patch that hole in another way. For instance, when a client connects to chat you should make sure that its IP is from the local IP - that way you can be sure it's the local FMS connecting. You can do this via script or you can configure a special connection path for it if needed.
