Restrict viewer access to channel streams

5. (Optional) Check Bypass stream access control for HLS video data to allow the viewer software to read

the HLS stream's video data without having to provide a viewer password or LDAP authentication as
configured on Pearl Mini. A viewer password or LDAP authentication that is configured on Pearl Mini is
still needed to access the HLS stream’s playlist.

Try enabling this option if your viewer is unable to access the HLS stream when a viewer
password or LDAP authentication is configured on Pearl Mini.

6. Click Apply

7. To share the HLS (pull) URL with viewers, click Status from the Channels menu, then copy the HLS URL

and provide that to your viewers.

Restrict viewer access to channel streams

Your Pearl device can restrict access to all viewer streams from the channel using global viewer passwords and
IP allow/deny lists. see

and

Restrict viewers by IP address

.

If LDAP is configured for viewer authentication, the viewer must pass global autentication using LDAP
credentials (or the viewer global password, if there is one) and must meet the local channel settings (come from
an allowed IP address). See

Configure LDAP user authentication

for more information on LDAP configuration.
