FluorineFx RTMPS URGENT

Hi:

 

We implemented a chat application using fluorinefx, flash. We implemented it so that the flash client can make a netconnection over RTMP on port 1936. This is working in most of the cases, but it failed for few clients. We recognized that the problem lies with the firewall. It seems that some of clients are behind a firewall that is blocking this RTMP connection over 1936.

 

We have following questions:

  1. Ideally we would like to make a netconnection over 1936 if firewall is not blocking it else use port 443 over RTMP. How do we make the application listen to 2 ports?
  2. If we use port 443, do we need to use secure RTMP endpoint i.e. RTMPS or we can continue to use just RTMP?
  3. If we have to use RTMPS how do we go about the configuration digital certificate on FluorineFx?
  4. We have noticed that Adobe Connect Meeting which uses FMS goes over RTMPS on 443 if 1935 is blocked. We are wondering what is the reasoning behind using RTMPS? Is it because some routers may be looking for secure protocol over 443?
  5. Is there a better way to do this?

 

We would really appreciate if someone could help us through these.

 

Thanks

For flash (NetConnection API) see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/166/tn_16631.html
 
1. Because you are using Flash you will have to handle tunneling protocols through IIS. That means IIS should handle tunneling protocols on port 80 (RTMPT that is http) and 443 (RTMPS that is https)
Tunneling request from the NetConnection API will arrive to IIS and not to FlurorineFx (only in the case of RTMP)
 
Depending on how your web application is deployed (root or virtual directory) you will need wildcard mapping or the ISAPI filter (or the IIS7 HTTP filter module if using IIS7)
(check out the RTMP Tunneling section of the FluorineFx docs)
 
2. See above + please DO NOT configure Flex channelsets (in the configuration file) with port 443 as will conflict with IIS
 
3. In the case of Flash NetConnection you do not configure FluorineFx but IIS
(For Flex channelset definitions it is a different mater)
 
4. See link
 
5. This is the only solution in the case of Flash.
When using Flex/Flex channelset API all the tunneling protocols can be handled by FluorineFx (because if not instructed explicitly Flex uses the RTMP channel for tunneling attempts)
 
Contact me for the latest build of the ISAPI filter (or IIS7 Http module),  x86 or x64 version
