Description

<p>An application was developed that could enforce two-factor authentication for NASA access to the Propulsion Test Streaming Video System.  To gain access to the Propulsion Test Streaming Video System, all user requests are submitted through the NASA Account Management System (NAMS).  The assigned approver of these requests is the respective Project Manager for each of the engine test projects.  Then, for authentication purposes, a user is required to use either a NASA issued SmartCard or RSA token to gain access to the website.  Upon authentication, the user enters the website page. The page displays hyperlinks to each engine test video streams that the user has been granted access to.  The user can then selects the chosen video stream for live viewing from their end-user device/location.  For commercial customers, the video stream is sent directly from the video encoder to the customer’s corporate streaming server for distribution within the customer’s facility.</p><p>The architecture of the Propulsion Test Streaming Video System was redesigned in order to provide a service capable of supporting two-factor authentication.</p><p> </p>
