### 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.
