[Live-devel] RTSP with Digest authentication (MD5-sess algorithm)

Hi All. 

 

I'm working on an integration of the Live555 package with a
media-player, and got problems concerning authentication:

 

I try to stream from a windows media server a content which is
configured to demand a Digest Authentication, and in the Describe -
Response dialog, i noticed that the MD5-sess algorithm is used.

 

As far as I can tell, the Live555 implements the Digest Authentication
with MD5 algorithm.

 

 

1.	does anybody know what is the difference and changes concerning
the move from MD5 to MD5-sess ?
2.	has anyway succeeded in receiving a stream (wm9 in my case) from
windows media server using the Live555 via RTSP with Digest
Authentication ?
3.	how about the other methods of authentication: Basic, Negotiate,
NTLM - which is supported ?
4.	can anyone refer me to an
explanation/documentation/implementation about the "RTSP+Digest
Authentication+MD5-sess" issue ?

 

 

thanks.

 

Noam Oren.
