1 Title: Configuring SASL for Hexchat
3 These instructions were originally contributed by BlueShark. Thanks!
5 HexChat is a fork of XChat with in-built [SASL](/kb/answer/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
`User name` field, enter your primary nick
10 4. Select
`SASL (username + password)` for the
`Login method` field
11 5. In the
`Password` field, enter your NickServ password
13 If you are unable to edit the
`User name` field, the change can be made in the
`User Information` section on the Network List window.
15 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.
