Question

User ID in Flash Media Server log files?

We may be using Flash Media Server in an intranet only scenario.  All users will be watching the videos from Windows boxes.   Our users who are creating the videos want to track usage by user ID.  Does the server log the client's user ID? Is that what c-client-id is?  If c-client-id is used to store Windows user name do I need to turn on AD/windows authentication to get that info?  I see that IP address is stored, but it would be simpler if the user Id were in the log file.

    Hi,

    c-client-id field denotes the unique client-id assigned by FMS to a connecting client. This id is valid from the time "connect" event is received in the access.00.log to the time "disconnect" event is received. It is not the Windows user-id.

    You  would have to track the usage based on the c-ip field.

    Thanks
