Authentication

[ChildOTK]

Hi All,

I am having a slight problem I am hoping we can fix.

I have a nice little flash audio player connecting to an IceCast stream, but for some reason when I try use authentication, it doesnt work.

What I mean is, I can connect to the stream just fine with: http://hostort/file

But when I turn authentication on, and use http://userass@hostort/file, it goes nowhere and times out.

Does anybody have a possible solution to this problem?

Thanks,
ChildOTK

http://host : port/file

and

http://user : pass@host: port/file

Hi,

That is most likely crossdomain access issues related to the flash player.
The flash security level treats sub domains as different domains.
Sometimes the cure all is to allow access all in your object embed tags.
And sometimes the user needs to reset thier security for browser and player.

You might want to ask in the Back end and Scripting forum. This forum unfortunately sees little responses
