How to create an AuthAccount on IRC
How to create an AuthAccount on IRC
Authaccounts are needed if:- you want to hide your IP Address
- you want to have a channel created for your Alliance
- you want to join a channel that can only be joined by "authed" users
- you want to be added with access to a channel
So how to get one?
There are basically two ways to create an Authaccount ...
1. Use the Web-based Formular
The IRC staff has designed a website where you can create an AuthAccount:
http://www.onlinegamesnet.net/authRegister.php?language=en
Just insert the data there and make sure it is the correct E-Mail Address
because you will need the E-Mail they sent you to activate the AuthAccount.
2. Use an IRC Command
On IRC you can create an account by typing the following:
/msg Authserv@Services.OgameNet.net register AccountNameHere PasswordHere EmailHere
Enter it in any IRC window, although I recommend using the Status window if
you can find it.
3. Now you have to activate the Account
Due to security measurements you will have to activate the account by using the
AuthCookie that was sent to you by E-Mail. When using the Cookie your hostmask
will be added to your account.
The Cookie looks like this:
/msg AuthServ@Services.OGameNet.net COOKIE AuthAccount HskDLensD
Enter it in any IRC window, although I recommend using the Status window if
you can find it.
Once you did that you will get a message from AuthServ telling you that you
are now successfully logged in.
If you use more than one connection (different providers) to access IRC you
will need to add your other hostmasks as well. You can add more hostmasks
using this command:
/msg AuthServ ADDMASK user@host
Note the hostmask always looks like either user@host or ~user@host
You can find it out by whois'ing yourself:
/whois YourNickHere
Could look like this:
~asdf@adsl-22-254-132-69.dsl.akrnoh.sbcglobal.net
If your IP is dynamic (meaning it changes) you need to adapt the hostmask
adding astersisk to the places where it is dynamic. In the above case you'd
end up with:
~asdf@*.dsl.akrnoh.sbcglobal.net
However your user (also called ident) might change if you use a different
client, etc., so I would use:
/msg AuthServ ADDMASK *@*.dsl.akrnoh.sbcglobal.net
4. Hiding your host / IP Address
In order to hide it automatically whenever logging in, use:
/msg AuthServ set autohide 1
If you just want to hide it once use:
/mode YourNickHere +x
That's it!
