 As an alternative to password-based authentication, you can connect to freenode
 with a TLS certificate and have services recognise it automatically.

+HexChat
+-------
+
+The pem file should be placed in `certs/network name.pem` in the HexChat config
+directory (`~/.config/hexchat/` or `%appdata%\HexChat`), where `network name`
+is the name of the network as it appears in the network list (Ctrl-S). Note
+that the `certs` directory does not exist by default and you will have to
+create it yourself. Once the file is there, all subsequent SSL connections to
+that network will use the certificate.
+
+Konversation
+------------
+
+Create the pem file as per above, then place it wherever you want. 
+Start Konversation, then open the Identity dialogue by either pressing F8
+or via the Settings menu entry. Choose the identity you use for the 
+freenode network or create a new one. 
+In the part `Auto Identity` you have to choose `SASL External (Cert)`
+as the `Type` for SASL External or `SSL CLient Certificate` for CertFP.
+SASL External requires at least version 1.7 of Konversation. 
+Optionally fill in your account name in the `Account`field. 
+You can then choose the certificate you created with the file picker
+or enter the path manually in the field next to it.
+Once done, apply the configuration and (re)connect to freenode.
