</pre><p>Red5 includes a sample security handler that denies all access to streams 
				(DenyAllStreamAccess 
				<a class="link" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/support/DenyAllStreamAccess.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/support/DenyAllStreamAccess.html</a>).

				be limited to prevent the server from being misused. Therefore, Red5 provides the interface 
				IStreamPublishSecurity 
				<a class="link" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPublishSecurity.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPublishSecurity.html</a> to deny publishing of certain streams. 
			</p><p>Similar to IStreamPlaybackSecurity 
				<a class="link" href="http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html" target="_top">http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/api/org/red5/server/api/stream/IStreamPlaybackSecurity.html</a>, it can be implemented by any object and

				receives an error NetStream.Failed with a description field giving a corresponding error 
				message. 
			</p><p>An example handler that only allows authenticated connections to publish a live stream 
				starting with liveStream and deny all other access is described below:</p></div></div></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional" class="navfooter"><hr></hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="CustomizeStreamPaths.html">Prev</a>&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">&nbsp;<a accesskey="n" href="ScriptingImplementations.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter&nbsp;12.&nbsp;Customize Stream Paths&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><span style="color:white;font-size:90%;"><a href="http://osflash.org/red5" title="Red5">Red5 Open Source Flash Server</a></span></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">&nbsp;Chapter&nbsp;14.&nbsp;Scripting Implementations</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
