In the "Security" tab, you can set up permissions for accessing a Webcast in the WebcastConsumer. You can allow access:
- only to
...

...
- only to
...
- browsers referred by link to the Webcast from certain domains
...
- only to
...
- viewers registering with specific email addresses or domains
- only to viewers who enter a predefined password
. You can configure combinations of these options, in which case all sets of conditions must be satisfied before access is granted; the IP range is checked first, then the referrer domain, then the password and finally the registered email address.
IP Range
To permit access only to clients browsers from specific IP addresses or ranges, check the option Permit access by IP range. Then, you can enter either a single IPv4 address in the format 123.234.123.234, or an IPv4 range in the format 123.234.123.234/24. This second format is known as CIDR notation and is a short form of including a whole subnet of addresses. More information on the CIDR notation is available here: Classless Inter-Domain Routing.
...
Referrer Domain
To permit access only to clients browsers referred from specific domains, check the option Permit access by referrer domain. Then, you can add either a fully-qualified domain such as www.movingimage.com, or a wildcard domain such as *.movingimage.com. In the second case, note that the wildcard *. implies any subdomain of movingimage.com. You should not enter the protocol http:// or https://
...
If you later uncheck the Permit access by referrer domain option, any entries made are retained but are not used to manage access to the Webcast. You can later recheck the option without re-entering the referrer domain entries.
Registration and Predefined Registration
To require viewers to enter registration information, check the option Require registration. Viewers accessing the Webcast will then be required to complete a simple registration form before accessing the Webcast.

To permit access only to users viewers registering with specific email addresses, additionally check the option Permit access by email address.
