Hello,

I am using Nx Witness 5.0.0.34969.

I failed to open the RTSP streaming URL, which I got from API document as below.

rtsp://<server_ip>:<port>/<deviceId>

 

I found that when I allow digest authentication for the user. I can use this user on RTSP authentication and open the RTSP stream successfully. However, if I do not allow digest authentication, it doesn't seem to work.

 

What should I do to pass RTSP authentication with disabled digest authentication user to request RTSP stream?

 

Thank you for your help.

  Hi Yihsuan_Hsueh,

  If you don't use the digest authentication, you should use the default bearer authentication instead.

  Hi Norman,

  I am wondering how to use bearer authentication to open the RTSP stream.

  Is there any sample code or player I can use to open RTSP stream with bearer authentication?

  Hi Yihsuan_Hsueh,

  The documentation is shown in the Nx WebAdmin under the API documentation:

  

  1. Click on the Sever name.
  2. Select API documentation.
  3. Select API Information.
  4. Scroll down for the Authentication section.

  Here you will find all information regarding Bearer Authentication.

  For the full documentation about Bearer Authentication, please check the RFC 6750.
