Adobe Media Server and the Authentication Add-In

  • October 3, 2012

The Authentication Add-In (used to authenticate Adobe Live Media Encoders connecting to FMS) will not install with Adobe Media Server because it looks for Flash Media Server and does not recognise Adobe Media Server.

Is there a workaround or a new version of the Authentication Add-In?

Correct answer

It seems Adobe knows about the problem but just ignoring it or they were too quick to release the new version. I have my server filter IP addresses through a custom main.asc file which does me no good except block legitimate publishers. We need to have this plugin. Also, if Adobe can work on blocking Wirecast FM 1.0 publishers on the new version of the plugin, that would be great!


Hi,

The new Add-In has been updated here : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fmle3

This was the same place where you could grab the old add in from so please don't get confused. The 64-bit Add-Ins will now work with AMS 5. Please try it out and let me know if you're still facing an issue.

Thanks,

Hi Justin,

Could you tell me more specifically what the issue is that you're facing? Now that Flash Media Server has been rebranded to Adobe Media Server, the default installation path for AMS is /opt/adobe/ams. While installing the Authentication Add-In please change the install path to /opt/adobe/ams and try. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Apurva

I have install Adobe Media Server Pro 5.0 on a Windows Server 2012 machine. The installation is working fine. When I try to install the authentication add-in I get the error "Please install Adobe Flash Media Server prior to installing this add-in", screenshot below.

I assume the problem is that the installation package looks for Adobe Flash Media Server and does not recognise the new name for the software.

The new auth plugin still doesn't work against Wirecast/FM 1.0 agents. The only way I was able to block these agents was through the main.asc file you put in your application. On the function application.onConnect insert this

if( (p_client.agent.search("Wirecast")!=-1) || (p_client.agent.search("FM 1")!=-1) )

    {

        trace (p_client.agent + " FM 1.0/Wirecast agent detected ...rejecting connection from "+p_client.ip);

        return false;

    }

How do you require WireCast agents to be forced to enter a password?

Where/how do you put this action script, does anyone have any examples?
