Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / August 2008WMS On-Demand Unicast Stream - Authentication and Encryption
Here is what I want to do. Provide on-demand unicast streams from WMS that require authentication and encrypt the stream contents for secure content delivery. The use case is a user wants to login to a website and then be able to access content securely across the internet. The stream content is private to everyone but the user and server. If I was using IIS I would just setup SSL and provide an authentication mechanism. It does not look like there is an easy way to do this with WMS. I am guessing I can accomplish this with a custom authentication plug-in and DRM some how. Looks like all of the DRM documentation is geared for iTunes type use and not on-demand streams. I really don't care about how the content is used other than it is transmitted securely. So is there an easy way to do this? IF it is a single user, the easy way to do this is to setup an access list based on the single users IP address If this is for multiple viewers, then the way most folk do it is to DRM the WMS files. A typical example of an on-demand unicast streams is downloading pay per view movies. All of these have DRM with different rulesets (number of views, duration, etc) It isnt 'easy' > Here is what I want to do.

You need to use DRM solutions to encrypt the stream and issue licenses to the clients. Regards, Vladimir V.

Not necessarily--DRM is used to encrypt the video itself and prevent redistribution. I've successfully streamed WMV content over SSH using port forwarding (rtsp - 554). This allowed me to encrypt the network stream (but not the video itself.) SSH can also double as your authentication with either password or private key exchange. See http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html for details on installing SSH within Windows. Probably not exactly what the OP was looking for, but it does provide what was asked for. > You need to use DRM solutions to encrypt the stream and issue licenses to > the clients.

Mike Lowery , would tht work if ihad a vbulletin database, so they ca subscribe, watch the stream when it will ask their "forum username an password" and also 1 slot..thats used on the site. -- alls http://forums.techarena.i |
