SASL
SASL is a way to identify to your registered nickname during the connection to the network, ensuring that you don't have to manually identify to services. To use SASL you need a registered nickname.
Configuring your client to use SASL
Rizon supports both PLAIN and EXTERNAL SASL mechanisms. Instructions for configuring SASL PLAIN can be found below:
Irssi
Note: You need Irssi version >=0.8.18 to use SASL
/NETWORK ADD -sasl_mechanism plain -sasl_username <nickname> -sasl_password <password> rizon
WeeChat
/set irc.server.rizon.addresses irc.rizon.net/6697 /set irc.server.rizon.sasl_mechanism plain /set irc.server.rizon.sasl_username username (nick) /set irc.server.rizon.sasl_password password
HexChat
As login method select SASL (username + password). In the password field enter your nickserv password.
SASL EXTERNAL
To configure SASL EXTERNAL first set up CertFP, then set the following settings in your client:
Irssi
/NETWORK ADD -sasl_mechanism external rizon /SERVER ADD -auto -tls -tls_verify -tls_cert ~/.irssi/certs/Rizon.pem -network rizon -port 6697 irc.rizon.net
WeeChat
/set irc.server.rizon.addresses irc.rizon.net/6697 /set irc.server.rizon.ssl on /set irc.server.rizon.ssl_verify on /set irc.server.rizon.ssl_cert %h/ssl/Rizon.pem /set irc.server.rizon.sasl_mechanism external
HexChat
Note: The pem file should have the same as it appears in the serverlist (Ctrl+S).
The generated .pem file you generated should be in ~/.config/hexchat/certs/Rizon.pem
for Linux/Unix users, and %appdata%\HexChat\certs\Rizon.pem
for Windows users.
As login method select SASL EXTERNAL (cert). If the file exists all your subsequent connections to the network will use the certificate.
