[SOLVED] RTMPS and self signed certificate

RTMPS and self signed certificate

I'm developing the RTMPS live streaming by videojs. (Flash player)

RTMPS server with public certificate is played when accessing web domain.

ex) rtmps://www.example.com:5555/live/ (Success)

But,

I want to use RTMPS server with self-signed certificate and IP address. (IP keeps changing.)

ex) rtmps://123.456.78.9:5555/live/ (Failed)

What should I do?

Solution

According to this, "To use self-signed certificates you have to accept the certificate on the client, inserting it into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store."

However, it may be a better solution to create a dynamic DNS hostname. Many services offer this for free and it's a simple process; Google dynamic DNS hostname.

Once you have that, you should be able to create a certificate using a recognized service. LetsEncrypt offers certificates for free. See this note on using dynamic providers with LetsEncrypt.
