/**
 * SECTION:rtsp-auth
 * @short_description: Authentication and authorization
 * @see_also: #GstRTSPPermissions, #GstRTSPToken
 *
 * The #GstRTSPAuth object is responsible for checking if the current user is
 * allowed to perform requested actions. The default implementation has some
 * reasonable checks but subclasses can implement custom security policies.
 *
 * A new auth object is made with gst_rtsp_auth_new(). It is usually configured
 * on the #GstRTSPServer object.
 *
 * The RTSP server will call gst_rtsp_auth_check() with a string describing the
 * check to perform. The possible checks are prefixed with
 * GST_RTSP_AUTH_CHECK_*. Depending on the check, the default implementation
 * will use the current #GstRTSPToken, #GstRTSPContext and
 * #GstRTSPPermissions on the object to check if an operation is allowed.
 *
 * The default #GstRTSPAuth object has support for basic authentication. With
 * gst_rtsp_auth_add_basic() you can add a basic authentication string together
 * with the #GstRTSPToken that will become active when successfully
 * authenticated.
 *
 * When a TLS certificate has been set with gst_rtsp_auth_set_tls_certificate(),
 * the default auth object will require the client to connect with a TLS
 * connection.
