Authentication and Encryption

 

Authentication

Transmit supports CDN authentication for the following formats:

• Akamai
• Akamai Edge
• Shared secret
• Custom Authentication

General Workflow for CDN Authentication

1. Set up a Configuration in the Transmit platform
2. Integrate Transmit Prefix in your player/CMS 
3. For each playlist request, append the file path to the Transmit prefix along with the auth token information
   1. Format: [TransmitPrefix]/[PathToAsset]?[AuthToken]&[PlaylistParams]
4. Transmit maintains file path and auth token information in the Playback URL returned to the client
