1 year ago Authentication is required to establish the connection, but once the connection is established, peers can talk to each other freely (up to the 1 hour hard limit).
You can grab the expiration time from the sts call and close the peer connection once time's up.
Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions!
We used STS tokens to connect a master and a viewer to a channel the validity of the token is set to 15 min When the 15 min is elapsed, we noticed that the master was still streaming the video and the viewer still saw it. We want to cut off the streaming and the viewing when the token expires. What is the best way to do it?
Steps to replicate: I have created an STS token with a Python script. I have defined the permission to access a specific channel likewise: policy_document = { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "KinesisVideoStreamMasterAccess", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "kinesisvideo:*" ], "Resource": channel_arn,
} ] } sts = boto3.client('sts', aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id,aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key) result = sts.assume_role(RoleArn=role_arn, RoleSessionName='webRTCSession', DurationSeconds=duration_seconds, Policy=json.dumps(policy_document))
The resulting access key, secret, and session token were inputted into the KVS test page. Open two test pages one for the master and one for the viewer and provide the same access
After 15 minutes, you will see that the stream is always functional on both pages
