Controlled access to media files Wes 10/22/2008 9:11:01 PM Is anyone restricting access to media based on ACL's or NTFS file permissions? We're having issues. We do not want to use DRM - but just restrict access to some files. Running W2k3 server, WMS, with Cisco CDN (which may be part of the issue). thanks!

Yes, you can do it. And it works just fine. The problem you can encounter is using Silverlight, which doesn't support ACL control, but using just Windows Media Player, it works fine. For silverlight scenarios, you need some additional workaround, but it can be done, and it works for us, also just fine. Jerislav

Re: Controlled access to media files Wes 11/26/2008 2:00:01 PM Thanks for the answer - what are you using to control access? Are you putting the media into specific folders that you lock down, are you using the publishing point? Thanks.
