<p><strong>NOTE: This might be heavily freenode-specific, but these things should work with other networks too, at least SASL and CertFP.</strong></p>
|
|
<p>I will document the four different methods to identify to services which I use by myself.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="sasl">SASL</h2>
|
|
<p>There isn't much to say about SASL as it's easy to configure as long as your IRC client supports it. SASL identifies you before logging in, but it won't help you in case services are down. The easiest way to check does the network where you are support SASL is probably to whois or message or both to the SaslServ.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>/whois SaslServ SaslServ
|
|
/msg SaslServ help</code></pre>
|
|
<p>If the network does support SASL, you should see something like this which freenode gives:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>XX:XX:XX -- [SaslServ] (SaslServ@services.): SASL Authentication Agent
|
|
XX:XX:XX -- [SaslServ] services. (Atheme IRC Services)
|
|
XX:XX:XX -- [SaslServ] is a Network Service
|
|
XX:XX:XX -- [saslserv] End of WHOIS
|
|
XX:XX:XX -- SaslServ: This service exists to identify connecting clients to the network. It has no public interface.</code></pre>
|
|
<p>There are different mechanisms for use with SASL. I personally use them in this order with ZNC: <code>PLAIN DH-AES DH-BLOWFISH and EXTERNAL</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>This is what ZNC 1.5-git-3b01efc says about them:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>XX:XX:XX < *sasl> +-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> | Mechanism | Description |
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> +-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> | EXTERNAL | TLS certificate, for use with the *cert module |
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> | DH-BLOWFISH | Secure negotiation using the DH-BLOWFISH mechanism |
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> | DH-AES | More secure negotiation using the DH-AES mechanism |
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> | PLAIN | Plain text negotiation |
|
|
XX:XX:XX < *sasl> +-------------+----------------------------------------------------+</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Some notes:</p>
|
|
<ul class="incremental">
|
|
<li>PLAIN is plain text as it says, so if you use it like I do, you should use SSL.</li>
|
|
<li>EXTERNAL is supposed to be used together with CertFP, but it doesn't work with most of networks.
|
|
<ul class="incremental">
|
|
<li>It's not supported even by freenode.</li>
|
|
<li>I don't know any network that supports it.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 id="certfp">CertFP</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="server-password">Server password</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="automatic-command">Automatic command</h2>
