# AuthenticationType

The type of authentication used. Set this parameter to one of the following values:

`NONE` | RTSP requests can be made to VMS without authentication.
`BASIC` | Standard RTSP BASIC authentication. The media player must supply credentials that match those held by VMS.
`DIGEST` | Standard RTSP Digest authentication. The media player must supply credentials that match those held by VMS.

NOTE:

To use an authentication type other than `NONE`, your video sources must have an associated `StorageUsername` and `StoragePassword`.

If you change the authentication type from `NONE` to any other value and your video sources do not have a `StorageUsername` and `StoragePassword`, then VMS refuses RTSP requests until the video sources are reconfigured.

If your system includes MMAP, you must configure video sources, and update the `StorageUsername` and `StoragePassword`, through MMAP.
