User Name and Password Validation ? "Aruna Tennakoon" <aruna.tennakon[ at ]gmail.com> 6/6/2007 4:08:07 AM Hi guys, I am new to windows media development. I am looking for a sample code to do some thing like this. When clients hit my URL (eg mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/radio.wmv) I want to pop up a user name and password dialog and that dialog will validate client's user name and password from an access databases resides in the server. How can I do this.? any sample codes in C# or VB.NET ? Thanks, -Aruna

Either you use a DRM solution which is complicated and costly or you authenticate the clients through a web page before giving them the streaming URL. You would then have to write some kind of plug-in for the Windows Media Server they registers the IP address of the client. -- http://www.chrisnet.net/code.htm [MS MVP for DirectShow / MediaFoundation]

Or start/stop the publishing point via the web interface, assuming one user per stream.

RE: User Name and Password Validation ? w2ks 6/12/2007 12:26:01 PM actually u can. i was working on something like that months ago and it's working now. basically it's just basic authentication using access as the backend instead of active directory.

Yes, but the authentication is in your web layer not something embedded inside the wmv itself. -- http://www.chrisnet.net/code.htm [MS MVP for DirectShow / MediaFoundation]
