Authorization can be configured for any incoming or outgoing streams.

Field	Description
Authorization
Type	None (default) - authorization will be defined in the Input and Output streams. In this case you will need to define the password in the Input and the Output streams. Unless you select the Allow automatic push inputs and/or Allow automatic pull outputs checkboxes (as described below). Linux Users – uses the built-in authorization of the Linux operating system. Users File - this option manages authorizations in a text file on the local file system. The file format should include the Linux user/password to authenticate. Text File – this option manages authorizations in a text file. This option is useful for large OTT operations, as it does not require configuration for every user. The text file contains pairs of stream name and password that are used for the input streams. For the outputs, it contains the stream name, user and password of the viewer. Global Password – a single password that will be used for all access requests. Stream access – access authorization on the stream level. The password needs to be the same as the password to access the stream. Redirector auth – internal. Windows Users – uses the built-in authorization of the Windows operating system. HTTP Server – Zixi Broadcaster will generate an HTTP request to an external server on every connection. Other override authorization techniques are available. For more information contact Zixi support
Parameter	Specify the password that you would like to use for access. HTTP Server – the URL of the external server to which the HTTP request is sent. Redirector auth – the URL of the IO server - <customer>.io.zixi.com Or <customer>.zen.zixi.com
Allow Automatic Push inputs	If this checkbox is selected, the Zixi Broadcaster will automatically create an input stream each time it receives a push stream from a source. However, if this checkbox is not selected, only predefined Push Input streams with the defined credentials will be allowed in (this is the default setting and the behavior in previous versions). Default: not selected.
Allow Automatic pull outputs	If this checkbox is selected, any Zixi Receiver that requests a Pull output will be granted access. In this case, a Pull output will be automatically created in the Zixi Broadcaster (this is the default setting and the behavior in previous versions). However, if this checkbox is not selected, only predefined Pull output streams with the defined credentials will be pulled by the Zixi Receiver. Default: selected.
Separate user folders	Select this checkbox to enable access by user folders.
Logging	Select the checkbox to enable logging of the connections.
