Hi,
I'm trying to limit access to my .mov files by authenticating users against
something more powerful than a qtuser file.
I have a linux server that has a movies directory and three subdirectories
called public, intranet, and extranet. The public folder should be
accessible to everyone. The other two folders should only be accessible if
the user belongs to certain groups. I want to authenticate with ldap because
many of my other applications already use the same pool of accounts from an
ldap database.
Background:
At first we thought we could use authentication with apache, but then we
found out the user could type in the url into the player to get around it.
Then I thought about using the qtaccess file, but that would require too
much work if there thousands of users. I want to prevent someone from
getting to the mov file directly by typing the url into their player.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Peter
