Can I use a URL in my playlist if it points to a password-protected webpage?

Updated over a month ago

We are not aware of any digital signage platforms that natively support webpage authentication. However, we do have customers doing this today and they usually use one of 4 approaches:

Approach 1: Username/Password in URL

Have the website/service accept username/password passed through via the URL. It's a security concern for some but that depends on your content.

Approach 2: Token Authentication

Use a token authentication approach when a token is passed through.

Approach 3: IP Whitelisting

Whitelist the IP so authentication is not required from that IP address the player is on.

Approach 4: Domain Authentication (Windows Players)

Use a XOGO Windows player and join the domain and authenticate the device via domain services.
