Note that whatever authentication that the proxy server uses to authenticate 'front-end' streams is completely independent of whatever authentication the 'back-end' stream requires. You can have authentication on the front-end stream, but not the back-end stream, or vice-versa.
Note also that because the proxy server accesses the back-end stream (using "DESCRIBE") before the first front-end client connects, it makes no sense to talk about using any information from the front-end client to authenticate the back-end stream. Also, if you want to customize the authentication mechanism, and you're feeling adventurish, you can subclass "RTSPServer" and redefine one or both of the virtual functions "specialClientAccessCheck()" and "specialClientUserAccessCheck()". You're on you own here though... Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/
