I've had to forward a port outside my router to allow a live video stream of a streaming project for my employer using Windows Media Encoder and player, but obviously I don't want just anyone logging on and seeing the stream.

Can anyone please confirm if icecast will allow for an authentication of some sort before accessing the open port and stream?

Thanks, Stephen

Thanks karlH, will it work with Windows Media Encoder to protect the stream?

Never used it. If it's a source client, then that provides a stream, and therefore is required to provide authentication. A listener client is not required to pass auth unless the icecast mountpoint requires it.
