### WebRTC-specific features

#### Connectivity issues
#### Authenticating with WHIP/WHEP

When using WHIP or WHEP to establish a WebRTC connection, there are multiple ways to provide credentials.

If internal authentication or HTTP-based authentication is enabled, username and password can be passed through the `Authentication: Basic` header:

```
Authentication: Basic [base64_encoded_credentials]
```

Username and password can be also passed through the `Authentication: Bearer` header (since it's mandated by the specification):

```
Authentication: Bearer username:password
```

If JWT-based authentication is enabled, JWT can be passed through the `Authentication: Bearer` header:

```
Authentication: Bearer [jwt]
```

The JWT can also be passed through query parameters:

```
http://localhost:8889/mystream/whip?jwt=[jwt]
```

#### Solving WebRTC connectivity issues

If the server is hosted inside a container or is behind a NAT, additional configuration is required in order to allow the two WebRTC parts (server and client) to establish a connection.
