Flash media server security hardening

Posted on by

Today, while browsing my feed in google reader, I found something very interesting.
This link is a hardening guide for flash media server.

For quite some time now I have been developing and consulting on flash media server advanced topics. I have been teaching students and consulting companies on issues regarding this great peace of software.

Adobe seemed very silent about this product for some time, not publishing any new materials what so ever, so it was very nice to see this link. I read it and it has some good observations and very well written instructions on how to harden your server.

I highly recommend you to open the link and read it.

    I am trying to figure out how to require a password to connect to the FMS Interactive Server (installed on Linux). From what I have read it is the main.asc file, however it is located in

    /opt/adobe/fms/applications/livepkgr/main.asc
    /opt/adobe/fms/applications/multicast/main.asc

    what I am trying to do is prevent anyone from connecting to the server and streaming live content.

    Do you have any hints/suggestions from what I have seen it is the server side action script, however when I placed it in the main.asc it did not work.
