FFMPEG RTMP streaming to WOWZA server with credentials

Question

I would like to stream my webcam using FFMPEG (on Windows) to a Wowza server. The Wowza server has several applications defined. Each has its own credentials (user name and password).

I'm using the following command line:

ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Integrated Webcam" -s 512x288 -vcodec libx264 -b:v 1024k -pix_fmt yuv420p -f flv rtmp://<wowza server address>:1935/appname/streamname

Yet the Wowza server fails to get the stream. What am I missing here? Should I add the credentials to Wowza's applications? If so, what is the URL format that will allow me to do so?

Thanks.

Replace the url with this

rtmp://username:password@:1935/appname/streamname
