Basic Setup

If you want the end user to be prompted for a user name and password

when he/she tries to stream a content from the server, follow the steps

described below:

1. Create a user file and/or a group file to define the users and groups

allowed on your streaming server.

2. Create passwords for the new users using the qtpasswd utility.

3. Create an access file.

The content of each file and the use of the qtpasswd utility is described in

the following sections.

There should be one user file and one group file per streaming server. The

paths to these files are defined in the QTSSAccessModule of your

streamingserver.xml file. Before going further, you should check that the

two properties modAccess_groupsfilepath and modAccess_userfilepath are

set correctly. The modAccess_qtaccessfilename property specifies the name

given to the access files. By default, access files are called qtaccess.

Here is the QTSSAccessModule section of the streamingserver.xml file:

<PREF NAME="modAccess_qtaccessfilename" >qtaccess </PREF>

<PREF NAME="modAccess_groupsfilepath" >/usr/Envivio/4Sight/Config/

qtgroups</PREF>

<PREF NAME="modAccess_usersfilepath" > /usr/Envivio/4Sight/Config/

qtusers</PREF>

</MODULE>
