Icecast - Jan 2005 - Need help with Listener Authentication

Hello everyone,

 

 

I set up everything on the icecast server but the authentification. I don't
know what I am doing wrong, so could someone maybe send me a functioning
icecast_full config file where I can check what I am doing wrong with this?

 

I already read the manual, but in this case the manual is too short - or my
brain is just too old ;) Or maybe I have to check for a special file on my
harddrive?

 

 

Any help is appreciated,

 

Best wishes

 

 

S. Schell

One of the example configs distributed with icecast has an example of 
listener auth.  What exactly are you having trouble with ?

You need to at a minimum :

1. supply a <mount> section named the same as the one you are connecting 
with your source client
2. add an <authentication> section to #1
3. Use the web-interface to add/delete users (you'll need to connect your 
source client first before you can do this)

One particular gotcha with listener authentication.  Make sure the 
password file is writable.  If you start icecast as a user other than 
root, or use the changeowner option in the config, make sure the 
password file is writable by that user.  Other than that, the manual 
seems fairly complete.

Incidentally, I just sent a config to the list for another problem I'm 
having, but it does have a working authentication section if you wish to 
look at one.
