Page History

IRC Nicknames are registered through the webpage, NOT nickserv, as on normal networks. When you log on to the Fuel Rats website, you are presented with a menu on the left hand side where you can add IRC nicknames.

1. Log on to the website. Ensure that you have your CMDR(s) claimed
2. On the left hand menu, you will see the IRC nickname registration box. Register your nicknames there. Include variations, such as YourNick[PC] or YourNick[Dispatch], but also ensure that you have a main nick without any tags.
3. Log on to IRC. Nickserv will ask you to identify. Use /msg nickserv identify <your password> as normal.
4. Group the nicks by switching to each of them and then issuing the command /msg nickserv group <main nick> <password>. You must register all nicknames you use on the API to ensure the services associate your nickname correctly with your rat.
5. Do a /whois of yourself (/whois <your nickname>) and check to make sure you have a .fuelrats.com vhost name. If you do not, and whois still includes the "You are identified for this nick" line, please repeat the procedure above. If it still fails, contact the tech rats.

    

   Info
   title Identifying through SASL or SSL
   Some clients support identification through SASL, which the Fuel Rats IRC network supports. Set this up with your username and password, and you will automatically identify when connecting. We also support SSL key fingerprints. If you set your client up with a SSL certificate, connect to the IRC server using the secure port (6697) and issue the command /msg nickserv cert add. Nickserv should report the certificate as added, and you will automatically identify when connecting. You can add multiple SSL certificates to Nickserv.
