HTTPS and Authentication
From Media Sequencer 5.5 it is possible to configure it to use a secure communication over HTTPS when communicating with clients, including Viz Multiplay. If Media Sequencer is configured to use HTTPS, Viz Multiplay will be accessible on this URL:
https://mse-host:8543/app/vizmultiplay/vizmultiplay.html
All URLs in the Servers tab must also use the HTTPS protocol when communicating. The default URL's for the HTTP and HTTPS variants are:
|
Service |
HTTP |
HTTPS |
|
Preview Server |
http://ps-host:21098 |
https://ps-host:4443 |
|
Viz One |
http://vizone-host:80/thirdparty |
https://vizone-host:443/thirdparty |
|
Pilot Data Server |
http://pds-host:8177 |
https://pds-host:7373 (PDS has no default HTTPS port, but 7373 is a commonly used port.) |
|
Media Service |
http://ms-host:21099/api/service |
https://ms-host:21443/api/service |
|
Graphic Hub |
http://gh-rest-host:19398 |
https://gh-rest-host:19398 |
Note: If Media Sequencer is configured with HTTPS, the ImEx Staging application will be opened through the HTTPS protocol. The ImEx Staging Configuration application does not support HTTPS, which means that the HTTP address of the config app must be manually used in the browser: http://mse-host:8580/app/stagingconfig/stagingconfig.html.
Authentication
When Viz Multiplay is connecting to the various services over HTTP or HTTPS, some of them may require you to authenticate with credentials. Viz Multiplay is not handling this explicitly, but delegates to the web browser to authenticate. This means that a browser popup (outside Viz Multiplay's control) will pop up whenever the browser needs credentials to contact the servers.
Unfortunately Viz Multiplay has little control over the text in these native browser popups, so you need to identify the server asking for credentials by looking at the host name or port, for instance for Graphic Hub, this service is usually running on port 19398:
