NickAuth allows you to identify to the bot using your NickServ account.

NickServ account name and password. Remember to replace ``<network>`` with
the real network name like ``freenode``.
CertFP
------
You can test if CertFP is supported by services simply by
``/msg NickServ cert``. If you get error about "Insufficient parameters for
CERT", CertFP is supported and if you get error about unknown command, it's
not supported.

CertFP identifies you to services using client (SSL) certificate and
naturally requires SSL connection. It doesn't identify you as soon as SASL,
but unlike SASL, it identifies you even when Services return from netsplit
unlike any other mechanism. First you must generate certificate and
the easiest method is probably using OpenSSL which you should have even on
Windows if you installed with pip.::

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout BOT.pem -x509 -days 3650 -out BOT.pem -subj "/CN=BOT"
First you must generate a certificate, and the easiest method is probably
using OpenSSL which you should have even on Windows if you installed with pip::
Now you should have file BOT.pem in the directory where you ran the command
presumably at your home directory and you only need to tell your bot where
to find it and tell NickServ that it belongs to you. Note that you can
and should replace ``BOT`` with accountname of your bot.
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout <BOT>.pem -x509 -days 3650 -out <BOT>.pem -subj "/CN=<BOT>"
You have two choices: using the same certificate on all networks:::
Now you should have a ``<BOT>.pem`` file in the directory where you ran
the command, presumably your home directory and you only tell your
bot where to find it and tell NickServ that it belongs to you.
Note that you should replace ``<BOT>`` with the account name of your bot.
config protocols.irc.certfile /home/<username>/BOT.pem
You have two choices, using the same certificate on all networks::
or only on one or more network where it's manually configured
config protocols.irc.certfile /home/<username>/<BOT>.pem
config networks.<network>.certfile /home/<username>/BOT.pem
or only on one or more network where it's manually configured::
And last you must inform the services which is your certificate
fingerprint which you can find out with::
config networks.<network>.certfile /home/<username>/<BOT>.pem
openssl x509 -sha1 -noout -fingerprint -in BOT.pem | sed -e 's/^.*=//;s/://g;y/ABCDEF/abcdef/'
And lastly, you must tell the services what is your certificate
fingerprint, which you can find out with::
This results to something like ``05dd01fedc1b821b796d0d785160f03e32f53fa8``
which you tell to services with ``/msg NickServ cert add 05dd01fedc1b821b796d0d785160f03e32f53fa8`` or if your bot has different NickServ account::
openssl x509 -sha1 -noout -fingerprint -in BOT.pem | tr -d ':' | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'
This results in something like
``05dd01fedc1b821b796d0d785160f03e32f53fa8`` which you tell your bot to
tell services::
owner ircquote PRIVMSG NickServ :cert add 05dd01fedc1b821b796d0d785160f03e32f53fa8
Or if your bot identifies as you, you can do that by yourself with::
/msg NickServ cert add 05dd01fedc1b821b796d0d785160f03e32f53fa8

Opening the certificate a little
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout BOT.pem -x509 -days 3650 -ou t BOT.pem -subj "/CN=BOT"$``
This command generates passwordless SSL certificate which is RSA key with
4096 bits and saves it to file BOT.pem. It's valid for 3650 days which
means ten years and you must generate a new certificate after that even if
it's recommended to do it sooner. Your certificate will have CN, CommonName
which shows whom it has been generated for BOT.
Server password
---------------
Many networks support identifying using ``username:password`` as server
password. If this is the case with your network (anything that uses
Charybdis-like IRCd), this shold work for you. Note that this identifies
you after SASL so your real host might be seen.::
