ClientChallenge/RealChallenge handshaking
Posted: 11 Jan 2008 10:28
Hi,
In the VLC 0.8.5, I use rtsp://name:pwd@ip:rtsp_port to get the video and audio streaming from my server. My video server supports the digest and basic encryption for RTSP authentication.
However, I found the ClientChallenge and RealChallenge were used in the VLC 0.8.6c. In my understanding, it is not the public standard way for RTSP authentication. It was designed by ReadPlay.
I am appreciated if
1. someone could tell me why VLC changed RTSP authentication scheme to this even the old one is not securited.
2. Is there any document I could have to allow me to implement the this new authentication scheme in my video server?
3. Is there another authentication method available in the VLC 0.8.6c or latest version?
