Embed Security/Trusted Hosts

Stream Security Trusted Hosts - HDOnTap Streaming Service

Overview

You can control where your stream can be embedded by setting up Stream Security. With Stream Security set up, you can display a customized image when your stream is embedded on an unauthorized site, as well as redirect viewers to the website of your choice:

Prerequisites

• You must have your Portal login. Contact your Customer Administrator or HDOnTap Support if you need assistance with your Portal credentials.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Log in to the HDOnTap Portal and navigate to Streaming > Embed Configs:

If you are creating a new embed config, see Customizing the Webcam Stream Embed. If you are editing an existing embed config, click the edit icon for that config. In either case, set your security preferences in the Stream Security section:

2. Enter the website(s) authorized to embed your stream in the Trusted Hosts field. Enter your domain without the “http://”, both with and without the “www.”, separated by a comma. Subdomains need to be explicitly included.
For example: hdontap.com, www.hdontap.com, livecam.hdontap.com

Special Instructions for Wix Websites:
If you are placing your embed on a Wix website, you will need to whitelist the following URLs, replacing “somename” with your Wix site name:

• somename.filesusr.com
• somename-wixsite-com.filesusr.com

3. In the URL When Stream Blocked field, enter the link viewers will be directed to when they click in the window if the stream is blocked.
Tip: We recommend you use the URL for the page on your website where your stream is embedded.

4. Select the image that will display when your stream is embedded on an unauthorized page in the Blocked Image drop-down.
Note: We have created the “Oops! Not Authorized” message for your convenience; however, you may upload a custom image if you prefer. Learn how to upload images.

5. Click Save or Save Changes when finished.
