1 | Title: Configuring SASL for WeeChat |
2 | --- | |
3 | ||
4 | Here's a simple guide for password-based authentication, based on the [WeeChat quick-start guide <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i>](https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html). | |
5 | ||
6 | If you haven't already set up your connection to freenode, use this command: | |
7 | ||
8 | /server add freenode chat.freenode.net/6697 -ssl | |
9 | ||
10 | If you have already set up a connection to freenode, or if that command fails with a message like `irc: server "freenode" already exists, can't add it!`, then use these commands to ensure that SSL/TLS is enabled for your connection: | |
11 | ||
12 | /set irc.server.freenode.addresses "chat.freenode.net/6697" | |
13 | /set irc.server.freenode.ssl on | |
14 | ||
15 | Now, configure SASL: | |
16 | ||
17 | /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_mechanism PLAIN | |
18 | /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username <nickname> | |
19 | /set irc.server.freenode.sasl_password <password> | |
20 | /save | |
21 | ||
22 | For more complete instructions, including non-password-based mechanisms, see the [official Weechat documentation <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i>](https://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#irc_sasl_authentication). |
