Enable RTSP Digest Authentication With Gstreamer

[Dwight Kulkarni]

Hi Michael and everyone,

Thank you for that info. When reviewing the referenced code snippet, I had
two questions

1) *gst_rtsp_media_factory_add_role* (this->factory, user_name,
      GST_RTSP_PERM_MEDIA_FACTORY_ACCESS, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, TRUE,
      GST_RTSP_PERM_MEDIA_FACTORY_CONSTRUCT, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, TRUE, NULL);

What is the difference between: *GST_RTSP_PERM_MEDIA_FACTORY_ACCESS*  and
*GST_RTSP_PERM_MEDIA_FACTORY_CONSTRUCT*

When I checked the docs, both said FALSE will return a 404 error when
trying to access the media. In the code, it appears to setup some users
only with MEDIA_FACTORY_ACCESS and not MEDIA_FACTORY_CONSTRUCT.


2)  After the roles are added if the user access changes. For example a
user is removed or their password updated, I could not find a way to remove
the user.

For example the code calls two functions to create the user and set the
password, I wanted the opposite to undo this.

//set the user
*gst_rtsp_media_factory_add_role( ... )*  ->
*gst_rtsp_media_factory_remove_role(
.. )*
*gst_rtsp_auth_add_digest  ( ... ) *->   *gst_rtsp_auth_remove_digest ( ..
)*


Thank you !
