authentication made easy?!
authentication made easy?!
hi, just found out that steamcast can handle authentication for my live vsn stream, but im getting confused with the whole 'mount' thing.
im using nsvcap to encode the audio/video and ive installed steamcast and i can get it to work, but as soon as i try and setup the the authentication i run into problems. can anyone spare me a few minutes with a quick guide on how to set this up? thanks.
also, read somewhere that users can easily be entered through an admin panel, how do i get that?
thanks in advance

hi, thanks for your reply jay.
ive found the admin control panel, was being a bit thick, sorry.
i have tried to get the authentications working and changed the config file as follows:
; SourceAuth: [Yes|*No]: Allows you to setup HTTP Basic Authorization on this
; mount point. All Authentication is currently file based. Please see steamauth.txt
; SourceAuth overrides the public bit and will force all SourceAuth'd streams to be
; private.
SourceAuth=Yes
and added this is the auth file:
; An example entry:
/live.mp3:hello:hello1
when i tried to get to the file before enabling the SourceAuth to yes, i could stream OK, now i get the popup window, but get the following error after entering the user/pass as above (hello:hello1)
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
but the user:pass im entering in the auth file is correct...
what am i doing wrong?
thanks!

yes it is...
now ive connected successfully but its not asking me for the user:pass ?!?! i would have thought that you have to enter the user:pass everytime you click on the link? or does it have to expire or something like that? or once you\'ve entered the username:pass does it remember it and allow you until you delete it from the admin panel?
thanks

ok, i think ive got it, ive worked it all out!
i can add users from the admin control panel, but figured out that until you delete the username and password of a user, they can get on without entering their details each time regardless of whether they close winamp and reopen it.. this actually work better for me.
thanks for your help!
