Thomas, Thanks for your quick reply. I am looking at htpasswd. I am using 2.41 on Windows 7 with BUTT. I have read the documentation but I don't understand where to enter this in the config file. <mount> <mount-name>/example.ogg</mount-name> <authentication type="htpasswd"> <option name="filename" value="myauth"/> <option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="0"/> </authentication></mount> On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 8:18 AM, "Thomas B.

A good editor for the Icecast config would be notepad++, as it nicely highlights what's active (blue/red) and what's commented out (green). http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ You can then connect (re)start Icecast, then the source client and proceed to the admin interface to edit authentication settings. In case of "/example.ogg" this would be: http://localhost:8000/admin/manageauth.xsl?mount=/example.ogg (Please note that this is only available while a source client is running on that mountpoint!) On Windows the file "myauth" gets automatically created after adding the first user, in the Icecast installation directory, right next to the config file. On Linux/Unix/OSX it would need a bit more checking. Actually on Windows too, but only if you'd run Icecast as a service and under a different user?
