Using the WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization plug-in
This plug-in allows you to create access control lists (ACLs) for the publishing points on your server. You can assign the following access permissions to users or groups through the properties sheet of this plug-in:
- Read. Permits a user or application to open, play, fast-forward, or rewind content
- Write. Permits a user or application to write content to your server.
- Create. Permits a user or application to create new publishing points on your server, when combined with write permissions.
This plug-in is enabled with the following access permissions by default:
- Everyone. The Everyone group has read permissions only.
- BUILTIN\Administrators. The Administrators group has full permissions.
This plug-in is useful when you want to set restrictions on all content on a specific publishing point or server or when the publishing point content is a live stream. If you are using push distribution from an encoder, be sure that the encoder administrator is a member of a group that has both write and create permissions or assign the necessary permissions to the encoder administrator by using this plug-in.
Note
- The authentication and authorization plug-ins work together to grant clients access to streaming media content. If either the WMS NTFS ACL Authorization plug-in or the WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization plug-in is enabled but no authentication plug-in is enabled, unicast clients cannot access the server.
