Regarding the Wowza Module Collection and specifically VHostListenerAkamaiValidate

Hello there

We have the Wowza 4.1 perpetual license edition and we are stuck with enabling VHostListenerAkamaiValidate.

We downloaded the Wowza Module Collection and we pasted wms-plugin-collection.jar to the installdirectory/lib

Then we edited the installdirectory/conf/server.xml to include :

com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.vhost.VHostListenerAkamaiValidate

We also modified the [install-dir]/conf/VHost.xml file so to set a default custom HTTP response code (403) as required for the VHostListenerAkamaiValidate to operate properly.

Finally, we restarted the software service on the server, as well as the engine manager service

Now we are stuck at the engine manager -> server - > Virtual Host Setup

We were sent the following details from AKAMAI to use on the server (I hid the secret and the nonce)

Clear Data Header Name: X-Akamai-G2O-Auth-Data

Encrypted Data Header Name: X-Akamai-G2O-Auth-Sign

Encryption Algorithm Version: SHA256-HMAC

Signed String Type: Forwarded URL

Secret:

Nonce:

So now do I have to create a new virtual host or do I edit the default one (defaultVHost)?

Also, from what I understand, I should “Add Custom Property” and add the following:

NAME: akamaiValidatorAuthType TYPE:string VALUE: signature

NAME: akamaiValidatorAuthDataHeader TYPE:string VALUE: X-Akamai-G2O-Auth-Data

NAME: akamaiValidatorAuthSignHeader TYPE:string VALUE: X-Akamai-G2O-Auth-Sign

NAME: akamaiValidatorAuthSecret TYPE:string VALUE: secret

NAME: akamaiValidatorAuthNonceSecrets TYPE:string VALUE: nonce

Is this right or am I missing something?

Thanks for your time
