Hi there,
I am using Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5.2 (152) on OSX 10.5.2 and Darwin
Streaming Server 5.5.5 (Build 489.16) on Debian 3.1 Sarge. I have an
issue with the authorisation.
On this server, I have the following general settings:
| mediaserver:~# grep authentication_scheme /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
| <PREF NAME="authentication_scheme" >digest</PREF>
| mediaserver:~# grep movie_folder /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
| <PREF NAME="movie_folder" >/chroot/hosting/home</PREF>
The main directory is configured using the following parameters:
| mediaserver:~# ls -la /chroot/hosting/home/qtaccess
| -rw-r--r-- 1 qtss qtss 65 Mar 18 15:32 /chroot/hosting/home/qtaccess
| mediaserver:~# cat /chroot/hosting/home/qtaccess
| <Limit WRITE>
| require user live
| </Limit>
| require any-user
| mediaserver:~# cp /chroot/hosting/home/qtaccess /chroot/hosting/home/rejo/qtaccess
I can now start a live broadcast using username "live", corresponding
password and the filename set to "streamtest". I can also start a live
broadcast using the same credentials and filename "rejo/streamtest".
Now this is working, I change the username to "rejo" in the sub
directory only. The qtaccess file in the top most directory remains
untouched:
| mediaserver:~# sed -i 's/live/rejo/' /chroot/hosting/home/rejo/qtaccess
| mediaserver:~# cat /chroot/hosting/home/rejo/qtaccess
| <Limit WRITE>
| require user rejo
| </Limit>
| require any-user
| mediaserver:~# cat /chroot/hosting/home/qtaccess
| <Limit WRITE>
| require user live
| </Limit>
| require any-user
I would expect I would be able to start a live stream within any
directory but /chroot/hosting/home/rejo using the "live" credentials and
a live stream within /chroot/hosting/home/rejo with the "rejo"
credentials.
The latter doesn't work like that. I can now start a live broadcast
using username "live", corresponding password and the filename set to
"streamtest". When I change the username to "rejo", corresponding
password and the filename to "rejo/streamtest", QTBC will keep asking me
for a username and password.
Of course I am sure the password of the user "rejo" is correct. I made
this sure by using the same encrypted password in qtusers. :)
So, any idea why I can't get the authentication to work in the sub
directory?
