Stream playback security

Use the IStreamPlaybackSecurity interface for applications that want to limit the playback of streams per user or only want to provide access to streams with a given name.

An example handler that only allows access to streams that have a name starting with "liveStream" is described below

public class NamePlaybackSecurity : IStreamPlaybackSecurity 
{
  public bool IsPlaybackAllowed(IScope scope, String name, int start, int length, boolean flushPlaylist) 
  {
      if (!name.StartsWith("liveStream")) 
          return false;
      else
          return true;
  };
}

To register this handler in the application, add the following code in the AppStart method:

RegisterStreamPlaybackSecurity(new NamePlaybackSecurity());

 

Stream publishing security

Use the IStreamPublishSecurity interface for applications that want to limit the user to publish and/or record streams.

An example handler that only allows authenticated connections to publish a live stream starting with "testing" and deny all other access is described below:

public class AuthNamePublishSecurity : IStreamPublishSecurity 
{
  public bool IsPublishAllowed(IScope scope, String name, String mode) 
  {
      if (!"live".Equals(mode)) 
      {
          // Not a live stream
          return false;
      }
  
      IConnection connection = FluorineContext.Current.Connection;
      if (!"authenticated".Equals(connection.GetAttribute("UserType"))) 
      {
          // User was not authenticated
          return false;
      }
      
      if (!name.StartsWith("testing"))
          return false;
      else
          return true;
  };
}

To register this handler in the application, add the following code in the AppStart method:

RegisterStreamPublishSecurity(new AuthNamePublishSecurity());

 

The FluorineFx.Messaging.Api.Stream.Support.DenyAllStreamAccess class can be used to deny all access to streams.
