Important: Before your shoutcast 2 station can be listed publically, you need to configure the Shoutcast YP2 Authentication Key.
HOW TO CREATE AN AUTHENTICATION KEY
- Login to the Shoutcast DNAS Administration
The first step is to login to the Administrator Summary page which is accessed via the Administrator Login on the DNAS Summary page (found at the top right as shown in the image of the DNAS Summary page).
You can usually access it directly at (replace domain-name and port 8000 appropriately) http://domain-name:8000/admin.cgi.
The username is always "admin" with a password defined in your control panel.
- Create an AuthHash Key
To create an authhash for a stream then you need to click the Create Authhash link. This will take you to another page where you need to fill in the missing fields as applicable for your stream as the DNAS attempts to fill in fields with the information obtained from the connected source. Once all of the required information has been entered then click the Create Authhash button.
If there is a missing field or something is not right when attempting to create the authhash, then you will see a message showing what needs to be entered or changed or what to do to get additional help.
- Completion
On successful creation, the new authhash will be saved into your configuration file either in the root configuration file or one where there's an empty streamauthhash entry matching the stream identifier. When you go back to the Administrator Summary page the Create Authhash link will have changed to Update Authhash and Remove Authhash links.
NOTE: It can take up to 10 minutes for the new authhash to be fully recognised so if you have made a mistake or are trying to get listed then you will need to be wait.
