Hi,

Two things:

1. I checked with the developer who worked on the Websphere RTMP support and 
was told that version 6 is supported, below that isn't explicitly. However, if 
things are working for you on 5.1/5.1.1 without configuring a WorkManager you 
wouldn't need to do anything differently for secure RTMPS connections.

2. For secure connections in general you'll want to serve the swf/html wrapper 
securely as well (over HTTPS) and use the same cert for both HTTP and RTMP. The 
player doesn't provide a way to import certs so if you're using a self-signed 
cert on the server when you attempt to make an RTMPS connection the browser 
won't pop up a cert accept dialog. Because the cert isn't in the browser store 
the RTMPS connection will fail. If you request the swf/mxml/html over HTTPS 
protected by the same cert you'll get the browser prompt. If you accept it the 
cert will be added to your browser store and then when the player makes its 
RTMPS connection and the server uses that same cert to secure the connection 
the cert will be found in the browser store and the connection will succeed.

You may also want to enable client logging (<mx:TraceTarget>) to see what's 
happening with your connection in more detail.

HTH,
Seth

Subject: [flexcoders] Secure RTMP on Websphere 5.1 and 5.1.1

Hi,

I've been trying to setup secure RTMP channel and the problem is that
a cosumer in the Flex client is timed out when it tries to subscribe.
I cannot see a subscibe message in the logs - for sure it is there
received by the server when I use unsecured RTMP. It seems like the
client was sending a request to a wrong location or it was ignored by
the server.

I've noticed one small thing there. RTMP on Websphere 5.1 and 5.1.1
works without setting up the Message Worker mentioned in the
documentation. Is it WAS 6.0 specific only? Is it by any chance
required by secured RTMP?

I would be grateful for any help.

Cheers,
Bartek
