  Obfuscated / Tokenized content security Reply Contact Hi everybody out there I am looking for a way to prevent that our streaming video content is accessed from other players/clients than ours (wmp/silverlight). We are also starting up with smooth streaming. So that must also be protected againt hotlink/deep linking. At this point we are using an application on the streaming servers that validates a tokenized url before serving the stream to the requester. But that application does not work on ws8 / iis7. I can see that there are some obfuscating feature in the playlist module, that maybe could provide some of this protection. But as I read it that only secures that the content is played in the order specified in the playlist. And what we would need is a way to ensure that we only allow the content to be viewed in our players by validated users. Is there any way to do this or do we still ned a 3. party application installed on the servers?

Then your obvious solutions would be to stick with IIS 6 or get an updated app. Jeff Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com
