Security</h2></div></div></div>
<p>This document describes the Red5 API that was introduced in version 0.6 to protect access
to streams and/or shared objects similar to what the properties Client.readAccess and
Client.writeAccess provide in the Macromedia Flash Communication Server / Flash Media
Server 2. </p>
<div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="d5e1932"></a>13.1. Stream Security</h2></div></div></div>
<p>Read (playback) and write (publishing/recording) access to streams is protected separately
in Red5. </p>
<div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d5e1935"></a>13.1.1. Stream playback security</h3></div></div></div>
<p>For applications that want to limit the playback of streams per user or only want to provide
access to streams with a given name, the interface IStreamPlaybackSecurity
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html</a> is
available in Red5.
</p>
<p>It can be implemented by any object and registered in the ApplicationAdapter
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/adapter/ApplicationAdapter.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/adapter/ApplicationAdapter.html</a> . An arbitrary
number of stream security handlers is supported per application. If at least one of the
handlers denies access to the stream, the client receives an error NetStream.Failed with a
description field giving a corresponding error message.
</p>
<p>An example handler that only allows access to streams that have a name starting with
liveStream is described below:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
import org.red5.server.api.IScope;
import org.red5.server.api.stream.IStreamPlaybackSecurity;
public class NamePlaybackSecurity implements IStreamPlaybackSecurity {
public boolean isPlaybackAllowed(IScope scope, String name, int start,
int length, boolean flushPlaylist) {
if (!name.startswith("liveStream")) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
};
}
</pre>
<p>To register this handler in the application, add the following code in the appStart method: </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
registerStreamPlaybackSecurity(new NamePlaybackSecurity());
</pre>
<p>Red5 includes a sample security handler that denies all access to streams
(DenyAllStreamAccess
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/support/DenyAllStreamAccess.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/support/DenyAllStreamAccess.html</a>).
</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d5e1947"></a>13.1.2. Stream publishing security</h3></div></div></div>
<p>In most applications that allow the user to publish and/or record streams, this access must
be limited to prevent the server from being misused. Therefore, Red5 provides the interface
IStreamPublishSecurity
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPublishSecurity.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPublishSecurity.html</a> to deny publishing of certain streams.
</p>
<p>Similar to IStreamPlaybackSecurity
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html</a>, it can be implemented by any object and
registered in the ApplicationAdapter
<a class="ulink" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/adapter/ApplicationAdapter.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/adapter/ApplicationAdapter.html</a>. If one of the registered handlers denies access, the client
receives an error NetStream.Failed with a description field giving a corresponding error
message.
</p>
<p>An example handler that only allows authenticated connections to publish a live stream
starting with liveStream and deny all other access is described below:</p>
