Icecast - Mar 2005 - no auth.xsl

Hi out there!
 
I?ve set up an Icecast2 (2.2.0) Win32 Server with oddcast DSP 2.0.15
 
The basics (a simple stream in .ogg) works realy fine. But now I would like to
add authentication. So I set up the <mount> section in the icecast-config.
It looks like this now:

<icecast>
    <limits>
        <sources>2</sources>
    </limits>
    <authentication>
        <source-password>pass</source-password>
        <relay-password>pass</relay-password>
        <admin-user>admin</admin-user>
        <admin-password>pass</admin-password>
    </authentication>
    <hostname>localhost</hostname>
    <listen-socket>
        <port>7083</port>
    </listen-socket>
    <fileserve>1</fileserve>
    <paths>
        <logdir>./logs</logdir>
        <webroot>./web</webroot>
        <adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
        <alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
    </paths>
    <logging>
        <accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
        <errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
       <loglevel>2</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1
Error -->
    </logging>
    <mount>
        <mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>
        <authentication type="htpasswd">
                <option name="filename"
value="passdb"/>
                <option name="allow_duplicate_users"
value="0"/>
        </authentication>
    </mount>
</icecast>

When I go to http://localhost:7083/admin/ I see all like explaind in the
documentation. I click on "Manage Authentication" and can set up users
and passwords. All looks working fine.
 
But when I log on as user at http://localhost:7083/ and try to open the stream
by "Click to Listen" I get a HTTP 404 Error - Page not found! The Link
"Click to Listen" refers to http://localhost:7083/auth.xsl but this
file does not exist. I?ve checkt out als dirs.
 
What the problem? Anything wrong in my configuration?

Made my own first test with authentication only a few days ago. I wasn't 
aware I can do it like above and have separate admin users for different 
mount points. I just used
<username>source</username>
<password>some pass</password>
which I took right from the icecast.xml example. I'm gonna try it out like 
you described. If that works, it's much better.

It only exists when a stream is connected. Start streaming and then 
connect a few seconds later. Then it should work.

You've got things wrong here. The authentication Dennis describes is 
listener authentication and not source authentication.

No, it should always exist. but there should be no link if there is no 
stream provided.

I have no idea really why you have no such file. what is your webroot 
specified as?
it should be in that dir.

You can't.  The per mount authentication is for listener authentication, 
not admin.
