The "LIVE555 Media Server" application - unmodified - does not 
support these functions.  However, many of them could be added by 
doing some programming.

Yes.  See the code bracketed by
	#ifdef ACCESS_CONTROL
	#endif
in "live555MediaServer.cpp".

Please read the FAQ.

There's no archiving mechanism built in; you would need to write this.

Our existing code does not support this.  To support this, you would 
probably need to subclass "RTSPServer" and redefine the 
"authenticationOK()" virtual function.  You might also need to 
subclass "UserAuthenticationDatabase".

This is something that you would need to write yourself.
