[Live-devel] Possible to use Proxy Server to password-protect otherwise open RTSP stream behind LAN?

[Ross Finlayson]

> I have an open RTSP stream within my LAN. The software on the camera device doesn't support username/password authentication. I am hoping to expose Live555 Proxy Server to the Internet to require username/password authentication to the otherwise open stream. Is this possible?

Yes.  Note the comment in our web page

In the section "Proxying access-controlled streams”:

---------
Note that it is also possible to provide access control to the proxy server itself - i.e., from 'front-end' RTSP clients. (This, however, is not done from the command line; instead, it is done by modifying the source code of the proxy server. Note the code enclosed by
#ifdef ACCESS_CONTROL
#endif

in "live555ProxyServer.cpp”.
