If you just relay streams and want users to authenticate in order to get the stream, I'd expect to extend my definition by a <authentication type=""> stanza. However, this does not work.

A rather counter-intuitive solution is to set up a <mount> with the same name and define authentication there.

I'd expect an <authentication> inside a <relay> to work.

Example configuration which I expected to work:

    <relay>
        <server>some.server.net</server>
        <port>8000</port>
        <mount>/remotemount</mount>
        <local-mount>/relay-auth</local-mount>
        <on-demand>1</on-demand>

        <relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
        
        <authentication type="url">
            <option name="mount_add"       value="http://myauthserver.net/notify_mount.php"/>
            <option name="mount_remove"    value="http://myauthserver.net/notify_mount.php"/>
            <option name="listener_add"    value="http://myauthserver.net/notify_listener.php"/>
            <option name="auth_header"    value="icecast-auth-user: 1"/>
            <option name="listener_remove" value="http://myauthserver.net/notify_listener.php"/>
        </authentication>
        
    </relay>
