CHAPTER 4
Flash Media Server Security
Macromedia Flash Media Server 2 will typically be used in a network environment where
many users will have access to it; by changing its configuration, you can make the server
accessible from within a private network, from the public Internet, or both. When deploying
any server technology, you should consider the implications to both the security of your
internal network and the accessibility of the server’s host computer.

Flash Media Server incorporates security features that take these kinds of concerns into
account. As a server administrator, you can provide additional security. This chapter describes
the security features built into Flash Media Server as well as additional measures you can take
to protect your server.

Managing server security
Flash Media Server uses a high-speed TCP/IP protocol called Real-Time Messaging Protocol
(RTMP), which is binary and unencrypted. RTMP is sufficient for many media applications,
such as those that run within your organization’s intranet. For applications that handle critical
or sensitive data, use the secure RTMPS protocol, which encrypts all data, including audio
and video. For more information about using RTMPS in applications, see

Because the RTMP protocol is unencrypted, you must carefully consider the security of your
server configuration and the sensitivity of the data you send to and from the server.
server configuration and the sensitivity of the data you send to and from the server.
The default settings of Flash Media Server at installation provide sufficient security. As a
server administrator, you can enhance the level of security by modifying the default settings in
the configuration files. The following section identifies those configuration tags that reinforce
security in Flash Media Server.
