Password protected IRC

- Start date
Thanks Amadeus, I have setup an IRC server with password, please check your PM for login info. If you use mIRC you will have password as an option field when connecting to a server. Bad Password message returns when no password or wrong password provided. Hopeful you can figure out soon, thanks for your great works!

Ok, I updated the isxIRC release to include functionality for password protected servers (http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150).
Your server is custom code and doesn't follow the RFC:1549 IRC Protocol "to the letter", so while I think that most things will work just fine, if you notice weirdness, that's probably what it is.
I did notice though that your server will not process anything until the 'auth' process has finished. It doesn't REQUIRE an auth, so we're ok since isxIRC doesn't do auth yet; however, if you try connecting without a password..you'll notice that it takes about 5-10 seconds before it kicks you off.
Anyway, you should be golden now!

Code:
October 30, 2006 -- By Amadeus
[ISXIRC-20061030.exe]
* Added new option for connecting to a server with a password:
- IRC:Connect[Server,Nick,Port#,Password]
(Note: You must enter the port# when using a password. If you're not
sure what port# to use, use 6667.)
* Added New EVENT:
1. IRC_UserDisconnected(string User, string Reason, string OptionalServerResponse)Hi Amadeus,
Thanks for such quick release and update!
I have just tried new extension, but I am getting some errors. It may not be the extension problem, but it could be my script problem.
I simplely tried to use the samples1.iss script and connect to my server then join a channel after connected, but I got following errors, these are echos I put in IRC_JOINErrorResponse event.
IRC_JOINErrorResponse=Test3_NOTICE_AUTH_*** Looking up your hostname
IRC_JOINErrorResponse=Test3_NOTICE_AUTH_*** Found your hostname, cached
IRC_JOINErrorResponse=Test3_MUST_BE_REGISTERED_#isxeq2_Register first.
[Test3] Received a message that we were not identified/registered.
[Test3] Identifying with Nickserv now.
IRC_JOINErrorResponse=Test3_MUST_BE_REGISTERED_#isxeq2_Register first.
CRITICAL IRC ERROR: Closing Link: Test3[CPE001020d32016-CM000039ac905c...
I can use mIRC to connect to my server and join a channel no problem.
It seems IRCUser[${MyUserName}]M[Nickserv,"identify Test1Password"] does not register a user in my irc server and I was wondering if you can provide a simple sample code on how to connect to my server and join a channel?
Thanks for your time!

Sure,
http://ircd.bircd.org/
I thought this server is popular and simple, and with password protection, that was why I picked this one. It should be IRC standard server.
It looks like there is problem registering with the server, i tried to change IRCUser[${MyUserName}]M[NickServ@ssn.play4cool.com,"identify passwrd"] and got
"Sorry, Test13 must register with Nickserv before joining '#isxeq2'."
I have no idea how should I register with the server, however mIRC connects the server without problem.
Thanks again for your time

Hi Amadeus,
I am also using my java application to connect to my server without problem, here is the java code that I use to connect to server. As you can notice there is USER command for registering a user on the server at the beginning of the connection. I am not sure if you have implementation on that or not. PASS, NICK and USER commands are sent to server when establishing a connection. In ISXIRC, I am not sure if the registration process is included in connect function or not.
From all my testings, isxirc's errors were same (user must register first), so I would think that step is somehow missing or the command used was incompatible with the server.
Thanks !

This told me the information that I needed. I was using PASSWORD instead of PASS.
I'll release a version tonight when I get home that should work for you without a problem. I just tested using this, and was able to connect and join a channel without a problem:
Code:
IRC:Connect[ServerIP#,Amadeus,6667,password]
IRCUser[Amadeus]:Join[#isxeq2]Hi Amadeus,
Im so glad that you figured it out, and hope new verison will work for my server.
Yes, PASS is the command according to the IRC spec
http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/chapter4.html#c4_1_1
I will test it out once it is released
Thanks!
John

Hi Amadeus,
I have been testing new release of ISXIRC in past few days and it worked as a champ, very smooth, it is way far better than ISXAIM (no offense to isxaim).
So far only one problem I found, the port parameter in connect function is not being used by connection. Whatever port number I put isxirc still tries to connect to 6667. Please check that out.
Thanks very much!
