RTCIceServer.credentialType

Draft
This page is not complete.

I'm experimenting with structure for pages documenting members of dictionaries. Please contact sheppy with any feedback.

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The RTCIceServer dictionary's credentialType property is a string value from the RTCIceCredentialType enum which indicates what type of credential the RTCIceServer.credential value is. The default is "password".

Syntax

var iceServer = {
                  ...
                  credentialType = ["password" | "token"],
                  ...
                };

var credential = iceServer.credentialType;

iceServer.credential = ["password" | "token"];

Constants

RTCIceCredentialType enum

The RTCIceCredentialType enum specifies values which can be returned by the credentialType property to define what kind of authentication credential is being provided in the RTCIceServer.credential property. This can be one of the values below.

Constant Description
"password" The credential is a long-term authentication password. See RFC 5389, section 10.2 for further details on this type of credential.
"token" The credential is an access token to be used with a third-party authentication system.

Example

This example creates a new RTCPeerConnection which will use a TURN server at turnserver.example.org to negotiate connections. Logging into the TURN server will use the username "webrtc" and the creative password "turnpassword".

myPeerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({
  iceServers: [
    {
      urls: "turn:turnserver.example.org",  // A TURN server
      username: "webrtc",
      credential: "turnpassword",
      credentialType: "password"
    }
  ]
});
