Valid values Access control Description
AuthenticateOverHTTP
no

yes
no
admin: read
Perform a RTSP
authentication when
tunneling RTSP over HTTP.
yes=The RTSP server
requests authentication.
This is made regardless
if the HTTP-connection is
authenticated or not.
no=The RTSP server will
not request authentication.
It is assumed that the
HTTP-connection already is
authenticated.
1. Even if the current default behavior is not to requireRTSP authentication when tunnelling through HTTP, this will probably change in the future.
It is therefore strongly recommended to implement RTSP Digest authentication for all clients that use RTSP over HTTP.
