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.
