advanced_token_authentication
Create a playback token key
This operation creates a playback token key that includes a key id and key value. You use one or both of these parameters to create a playback token for advanced token authentication.
Before using the ADVANCED_TOKEN option as your token authentication for a video, you must do one of the following:
- Generate a playback token key that has a key id using this endpoint in the Wowza Video API, then customize and generate a token via the Wowza Video 2.0 API to add to your site. You'll need the key id to create and sign the token.
- Generate a playback token key that has a key id and key value using this endpoint in the Wowza Video 2.0 API, then customize and generate a standard common access token (CAT) through the means you usually use to create tokens to add to your site. You'll need the key id and key to create and sign the token. The key value is only returned in this endpoint so keep it in a place that you can access it later when you create your playback token.
