1 Title: Configuring SASL for Hexchat
3 These instructions were originally contributed by BlueShark. Thanks!
5 HexChat is a fork of XChat has in-built SASL support. It doesn't require any additional scripts for that purpose. The setup procedure is simple.
7 1. Open the Network List (Ctrl + S)
8 2. The freenode network may already exist; find it in the list then click on Edit
9 3. In the username field, enter your primary nick
10 4. Select
`SASL (username + password)` for the Login method field
11 5. In the SASL password field, enter your NickServ password
13 If everything was configured correctly, you should see a
`SASL authentication successful` message when you connect. You will already be identified to NickServ, so you don't need to do this again.
