Mysql ircd integration

Guest · Posted: Jun 12, 2004 1:12am Post subject: Mysql ircd integration

Is there any ircD that would allow me to only allow people who have a username and a password stored in a forum to access the irc server? meaning that they would have to user the username for irc being the same username in the forum and the same for password?

not that I'm aware of - I think the closest you'd get to that would be a custom scrip that rotates
channel / I :line passwords every so often and always has the most recent password on the
website.

Really though, such close integration between ircds and forums does not exist.

You could try a services package like http://www.anope.org that integrates with mysql,
and you might be able to craft some sneaky script that integreates the forum mysql information
with the services mysql information so that people on the irc network can be linked to their
forum username...... but really, you might be better off just letting them be seperate.

phpanope is a webinterface to Services for Anope, it works off of Services SQL database.

As far as the password protected IRCd access goes .... you could set up a java applet inside the above mentioned phpanope interface (yes this will require some coding). Then use non-standard ports on your IRCd.

I don't know how helpful this will be to you Guest, but I remember reading something about R:lines before that might help you.

Basically, when a R:lined client connects, their information is passed to an external program
on the ircd's host system which returns data telling the ircd whether to allow the person to
connect or not.

I'm not sure what ircd I found this in, I think it was a very old one, as the feature is basically
never used by anyone anymore.

You might look into using it though, or possibly modifying it to pass more information to an
external program.

Worth a look, maybe Smile

I believe Undernet's coder-com were working on something similar to this called Iauth. Not sure what the current status of the project is though.

R:lines are gone (I don't think they were ever used by anyone other than DALnet?)
and Hybrid already has IAuth, but it doesn't use SQL as far as I know.

Hybrid's iauthd never worked, it's completely broken.

The only functional iauth is IRCnet's, and as of yet, there's no SQL authentication module. There's also timeout limitations to how IRCnet does it (which is why they're working on replacing it)
