[LRUG] Paid video content

[Frederick Cheung]

I wrote some sample code / blog post a while back for doing the signed cookies stuff that cloudfront uses for this. The rails bits are old (2015) but the gist of it is still true: https://www.spacevatican.org/2015/5/1/using-cloudfront-signed-cookies/ (And it’s still linked from the cloudfront docs so I assume the cloudfront bits are still valid)
