Hi,
    I'm required to implement authentication for centova streams. Only paid subscribers should be able to connect to streams using their userid-password. What is the best way to do this?

What I was thinking:
I understand that Centova runs on apache i.e. apache does the actual network connection handling. I am planning to write my own apache module for authentication (mod_myownauth) and authenticate through it.

Plz let me know if there is a simpler solution. If not, is my solution likely to work?

Thank You.

C'mon guys. Somebody reply. I'm approaching deadline. Atleast tell me is my understanding of apache - centova architecture correct?
