  34 <PRE>I have an easier suggestion, again it will stop about 99.9% of users who do not connect using the java...  Simply have the Java applet assign a unique (non-word) ident to every user (same ident for everyone) -- most java applets assign this anyhow.  then in your server(s) put in an I line (I think it's &quot;I&quot; -- the one that specifies who's allow to connect).  The I line will allow *javaident@*  which my definition will block everyone who doesnt have the special ident.  A few really creative people may figure out the ident, and if you see a lot of that, then change the java ident again and change your I line to reflect that.

  45   Thank Andrew, the password it's a good idea, that's all I need ;-)

  48 &gt;<i>Hi!, the first of one thanks for ircservices, i'm very pleasured with
  49 </I>&gt;<i>it. I'm using IRCservices with Unreal irc server with a java applet
  50 </I>&gt;<i>client. I need to forbib connetions from other clients like mirc, etc. I
  51 </I>&gt;<i>only want to allow conections from my java applet client. Is it
  52 </I>&gt;<i>possible?=20
  53 </I>
  54      This is more of an IRC server issue; depending on how the applet is
  55 designed, you should be able to configure your IRC server to, for example,
  56 only allow connections with a password and have your applet send that
  57 password when connecting (though of course this is not very secure if
  58 someone decides to e.g. monitor the network traffic).  To do this with
  59 Services would require writing a module that sent CTCP VERSION (or some
  60 other way to check whether the client is your applet or another program)
  61 and killed users using a different client, and again this would still be
  62 susceptible to users forging the CTCP VERSION reply.
  63
  64      In general, there's no foolproof way to do what you're asking, but
  65 either of the above methods will probably block 99.9% of users, which is
  66 probably good enough.
