STREAMING SERVERS
ORBAN MODEL 1010
Opticodec-PC Encoder and DSS on Different Computers
Any encoder running on a different computer from DSS requires DSS authentication
to connect. You have two choices: (1) allowing unlimited access from any encoder
user or (2) limiting access from encoder users. Implement DSS authentication by cre-
ating an access file and editing it accordingly.
If you allow unlimited access, any user is allowed server write access in the access
file. Only use unlimited access for internally controlled networks such as LAN/WAN
configurations. Because there is no authentication, any Orban Opticodec-PC or Ap-
ple QuickTime Broadcaster can connect to the server and use unauthorized stream-
ing bandwidth.
To limit access, you must add encoder users. Do this by adding DSS users and config-
uring the access file for write access (see Access Control on page 3-7). Opticodec-PC
can then create the .sdp file in the directory you specified (see
Filename
in
Opticodec-PC Encoder Destination Server Parameters on page 3-5).

Authenticated Client Player Access
To configure client player access for authenticated live streams and/or streamed me-
dia files, you must create an access file in the media directory you wish to secure. If
the access file is shared with encoder access entries, you must create or add the ap-
propriate entries to the access file. The directory that is used to store .mp4 and .mov
streamed media files and/or .sdp files for live streams can contain other directories
and each directory can contain its own access file. Currently, only QuickTime Player 6
(and above) supports authenticated client player access; RealPlayer 10 does not.
To disable authentication for a media directory, edit the file accordingly. If live
streams are used, remove the access file or rename it.
