    f4fpackager - is it mandatory to have certificates and pfx from Adobe for encryption

      Hi all,

       

      For encryptiong the content using f4fpackager, is it mandatory to have required certificates (namely license-server-cert, transport-cert) and PFX files( packager-credential, credential-pwd) from Adobe or can we use the self signed certificates for testing/prototyping purpose.

       

      I came across the following link

      http://www.openhd.de/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynamic-streaming-protection.html#ar ticlecontentAdobe_numberedheader_0

       

      license-server-url is a URL of the Flash Access for Protected Streaming license server. It grants the user license.

      license-server-cert is an encoded license server certificate. It is obtained from Adobe as a result of licensing and never changes.

      transport-cert is an encoded transport certificate (.der). It is obtained from Adobe as a result of licensing and never changes.

      packager-credential is a mandate for encryption of content (. pfx). It is obtained from Adobe as a result of licensing and never changes.

      credential-pwd is a password. It is obtained from Adobe as a result of licensing and never changes.

      policy-file is a policy (. pol). The policy file can be created using the java API or a utility that comes with Flash Access (AdobePolicyManager.jar).

       

      Looks like we can't encrypt the content without the required certs and PFX files from Adobe, but not sure though. Pls help me out.

      Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

       

      Thanks in advance
