Hi ive just discovered publish and playback security methods for 
webapps, here is what ive come up with so far which is pretty basic,

import org.red5.server.api.IScope;
import org.red5.server.api.stream.IStreamPublishSecurity;

public class PublishSecurity implements IStreamPublishSecurity {
   
    private String allowedNames = "livestream";
    private String allowedModes = "live";

    public PublishSecurity(String names, String modes)
    {
        allowedNames = names;
        allowedModes = modes;
    }
   
    public boolean isPublishAllowed(IScope scope, String name, String mode)
    {
        if (allowedModes.indexOf(mode) >= 0 && 
allowedNames.indexOf(name) >= 0)
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
   
}


i tried to split the config setting strings into arrays but the 
Arrays.binarySearch wouldnt work so im just doing a string match on 
comma seperated strings, is there a more simpler way ?

Is there advanced examples of how I could store these configurable 
settings into something like hibernate which were updatable via an admin 
while the server is live and then obviouslly update the list ?

I could go a bit more complex and rather than just allow. modes and 
names, I could also put mode restrictions for each stream name into two 
dimensional arrays collected from a hybernate data object. This list 
would then easily be updateable via an admin control panel in realtime 
so doesnt require a complete server restart. So something like

[streamname1] = {live,record,append}
[streamname2] = {live,record}
[streamname2] = {live}

My current settings look like

allowedModes=live,record,append
allowedNames=name1,name2,name3,name4

etc

If the applications themeselves were able to be restarted without 
restarting the entire server that would be interesting aswell. So if 
anyone has played with integration with an embedded db like hybernate 
let me know, would be interesting what people have come up with.

I think what else could be interesting is the playback security, so also 
use hibernate to store a live blacklist of hosts that have been doing 
malicious use on the applications and then playback security could deny 
these I guess ? If i manage to work out hibernate I may display an 
example of thise aswell.

I think what would be really great for Red5, is a full web based control 
panel, with these kinds of publish and playback security settings in the 
control panel menu, obviouslly live webapp streaming statistics, webapp 
management, resource statistics via JVM which graph in either an applet 
or flex charts or whatever.

Big job do you think ?
