Information needed to log into load balancer page

[Derrick_Freeman2]

I have set up load balancing for this: Dynamic load balancing for Wowza Streaming Engine 4.7.3 and later

And I place this similar information into a browser and a dialog appears: http://192.168.1.1:1935/loadbalanceinfo

I don’t know what to place into the dialog window. Where would I find this information?

It should be just asking you to put in the Wowza Engine Manager username and password when you go to that link.

That’s what I was thinking too. I did put in my Wowza Streaming Engine Manager username and password yesterday before I sent the message but could not log in.

Is there another option to see the servers in the load balancer list?

Also, is there a way to disable the required log-in?

Thank you,
Derrick F.

Is there an answer to this post?

Hi @Derrick_Freeman2

There is not a way to disable the authentication as it uses the Wowza Manager authentication option.
Can you submit a support ticket that way we can review your configuration and assist you further on the issue?

Open a Wowza Support Ticket | Wowza Media Systems

Typically there is just an issue with the username and password that is used to login.

By default, Wowza Streaming Engine uses B-Crypt which will break Wowza Load Balancer HTTP calls ( *calls to the “serverinfo” endpoint will not work).

To get around this, navigate to Server.xml

Change this:

<!-- none, basic, digest, remotehttp, digestfile-->
<AuthenticationMethod> **bcrypt** </AuthenticationMethod>
<em><!-- cleartext, digest, bcrypt --></em>
<PasswordEncodingScheme> **digest** </PasswordEncodingScheme>

To this:

<!-- none, basic, digest, remotehttp, digestfile-->
<AuthenticationMethod> **digestfile** </AuthenticationMethod>
<em><!-- cleartext, digest, bcrypt --></em>
<PasswordEncodingScheme> **digest** </PasswordEncodingScheme>

Then, add this property to the end of the Server.xml Properties container with the other Load Balancer properties:

<Property>
<Name>loadBalanceUseEncryptedAdminPassword</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>

Finally, save and restart the WSE service for the changes to take effect.
