== SSL ==<br />
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. Short explanation: it's a more secure way of establishing a connection to a server.<br /><br />
It is based on encrypting all data-traffic with an encryption key. <br /><br />
SSL only works if all involved parties support SSL connections, because else one of the involved parties would not understand what was 'said' by the other. Since the Chat4All chatserver supports SSL connections as of 2004, you can now also connect to us with an SSL capable client on ports +6697 and +7001.<br />
<br />
== Benefits ==<br />
In general, chatters would not really need SSL most of the time, unless they have the need for some extra privacy, or suspect that someone on their 'subnet' is eavesdropping, especially if it concerns exchanging passwords (for instance when logging into nickserv or chanserv).<br />
<br />
With normal connections, anyone who has 'hacked' your computer, or is on the same subnet, can 'listen' to all packages that are sent over your line in your network with utilities such as Ethercap and Ethereal and read them just as the plain text that is sent over it; thus having the possibility to hijack your passwords and accounts.<br /><br />
Example result using Ethereal on a '''non'''-encrypted connection:<br /><br />
[[Image:Ssl_unencrypted_cropped.png|Image:Ssl_unencrypted.png]] (click to enlarge)<br />
<br />
However, when someone is eavesdropping on your line while you use SSL, they will only be able to see the encrypted data, which will just look like mumblejumble to them, since they have no easy way to decrypt it.<br /><br />

=== mIRC description ===<br />
Let's quote mIRC.com for some more detailed description:<br />
<blockquote>«Why the need for secure connections?<br />
mIRC is used by many organizations that need to communicate over secure connections, everything from corporate to governmental. Various educational organizations that provide online teaching also require communications to be secure for privacy purposes. Apart from that, many individuals around the world also depend on secure communications, whether for political, business, or other reasons. At the end of the day, it really depends on your own personal needs. If it’s not something that you think you need, then you probably don’t!»</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Howto ==<br />
In this section we will describe how you can install OpenSSL support on your pc and set it up in your client, and how to connect to our SSL capable port on our server.<br />
<br />
=== Installation for Windows ===<br />
How to use SSL depends on the client you use, as some IRC-Clients might not have SSL support at all, while others depend on SSL libaries (such as OpenSSL) available in your operating system, or in the program folder, or have built-in SSL support.<br />
Since most people on our network seem to use mIRC, I'll explain what is needed to get mIRC working with SSL.<br />
<br />
First download the latest release of mIRC, which when I originally wrote this article was 7.19, even though SSL was already added back in 6.14.<br />
<br />
After that you need the OpenSSL libraries. The best is to install the latest version of OpenSSL. The [http://www.mirc.com/ssl.html SSL page on mIRC.com] for instance usually offers quite recent installer of OpenSSL, however recommended is to go to [https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries OpenSSL.org's binaries page] which offers links to site(s) that have semi-official installers.<br />
<br />
On every Windows machine the [https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html Win32 OpenSSL Light Installer (v1.0.0.5)] is a good recent option (at time of writing). The Windows 64-bit version on that same site however does not seem compatible with mIRC (at least when I originally wrote this article).<br />
<br />
<br />
The easiest is to put the SSL libraries in the Windows System directory (C:\Windows\System32 on most systems), since other (supporting) applications will also be able to use the OpenSSL libraries then. The Windows installer already offers the option to have the libraries copied there automatically. If you only intend to use OpenSSL with mIRC, then you can also just place the ''libeay32.dll'' and ''ssleay32.dll'' files in the mIRC program directory. <br />
<br />
'''''Pro-Tip:''' If you use mIRC as a portable app (taking it with you on a USB memory stick for instance), it is also recommended to put a copy of the dll files in the mIRC program directory, since it will allow you to use mIRC with SSL on computers where OpenSSL isn't installed.<br />
<br />
When you start mIRC after this, an extra tab or button marked 'SSL' will be available in the mIRC options under the ''Connect'' category in the ''Options' subcategory.<br />
<br />
=== Importing the CA certificate ===<br />
This step is optional, but is quite recommended.<br />
<br />
We have generated our own Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate which which we sign our SSL certificates. This will provide the following:<br />
# You can be certain that the Chat4All staff has generated and signed the certificate being presented.<br />
# IRC clients should fully accept the certificate since it no longer is a simple self-signed certificate.<br />
# The certificate will no longer be rejected because it is signed by an unknown/untrusted Certificate Authority.<br />
# The certificate will automatically be trusted because you trust the CA.<br />
# We can change/renew the certificate for as long as the CA hasn't expired.<br />
# Clients that support a strict SSL verification will now also automatically accept our certificates. This way you'll be informed if suddenly something changes about the certificate.<br />
You can [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#CA_download|Download the certificate]] which will link to a HTTPS link within our chat4all.org domain.<br />
<br />
For details on how to import the CA into your IRC client, please read our separate [[SSL_CA_import_instructions|SSL CA Import instructions article]].<br />
This includes instructions on how to include it into [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#mIRC|mIRC]], [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#weechat|weechat]] and possibly other clients.<br />
<br />
=== Connect ===<br />
To now connect to our server using a SSL connection, is now possible through one of these two ways.<br /><br />
The first is by the direct command:<br />
'''/server irc.chat4all.net +7001'''<br />
Which will connect to our server at port 7001 (don't forget the '''''+'''''sign though, since that indicates it is a SSL port.)<br />
<br />
The second way is to edit the server information.<br /><br />
From the ''File''-menu, you should select the '''Select Server''' (''alt-e'') option, which will open the mIRC Options at the Select Server tab.<br />
There, select the Chat4All server from the server list (or add it yourself with the ADD button), and hit the ''Edit'' button.<br />
<br />
Now you can edit the port-range to either also include the +7001 port, or just replace all of the ports listed there with +7001 (again, don't forget the plus-sign).<br />
<br />
Another way is to instead of Editting, Adding a new serverlisting which you can name something like Chat4All_ServerSSL and which will have just the +7001 port and the same ''group''-name as your regular Chat4all connection.<br /><br />
When finished adding or editting, hit the Connect button to connect to the server :)<br />
<br />
== Extras ==<br />
When you are connected using a SSL connection, you can now join channels that have the channelmode +z<br /><br />
If a channel has the channelmode +z, it means that only people using a SSL connection, can join that channel.<br /><br />
A channelowner can set his room to +z with<br />
''/mode #replaceWithYourChannelname +z''<br />
This currently can only be set while there are no non-SSL users left in the channel. This is something that will change in an upcoming server-update though, with the addition of the channelmode +Z.<br />
<br />
A new mode is now available to SSL users: ''user''mode +Z. <br /><br />
This will block all queries (private messages) from '''non-SSL''' users.<br />
This mode can be enabled using<br />
''/mode replaceWithYourNickname +Z''<br />
<br />
You will also receive the ''user''mode +z, which means you are on a SSL connection.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=SSL&diff=2907SSL2018-09-07T15:40:02Z<p>FiXato: /* Installation for Windows */ Removed some outdated links</p>

You can [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#CA_download|Download the certificate]] which will link to a HTTPS link within our chat4all.org domain.<br />
<br />
For details on how to import the CA into your IRC client, please read our separate [[SSL_CA_import_instructions|SSL CA Import instructions article]].<br />
This includes instructions on how to include it into [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#mIRC|mIRC]], [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#weechat|weechat]] and possibly other clients.<br />

There, select the Chat4All server from the server list (or add it yourself with the ADD button), and hit the ''Edit'' button.<br />
<br />
It will probably read something like on the screenshot at http://chat4all.fixato.net/resources/wiki/mIRC-Chat4All-SSL_Server_Settings.jpg although the exact names and ports listed might be a little different.<br /><br />
Now you can edit the port-range to either also include the +7001 port, or just replace all of the ports listed there with +7001 (again, don't forget the plus-sign).<br />
<br />
Another way is to instead of Editting, Adding a new serverlisting which you can name something like Chat4All_ServerSSL and which will have just the +7001 port and the same ''group''-name as your regular Chat4all connection.<br /><br />

<br />
== Extras ==<br />
When you are connected using a SSL connection, you can now join channels that have the channelmode +z<br /><br />
If a channel has the channelmode +z, it means that only people using a SSL connection, can join that channel.<br /><br />
A channelowner can set his room to +z with<br />
''/mode #replaceWithYourChannelname +z''<br />

This will block all queries (private messages) from '''non-SSL''' users.<br />
This mode can be enabled using<br />
''/mode replaceWithYourNickname +Z''<br />
<br />
You will also receive the ''user''mode +z, which means you are on a SSL connection.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=Ban&diff=2897Ban2015-03-14T17:54:58Z<p>FiXato: /* Hostname */ replaced a forgotten hostname example from the Dutch article with an American equivalent.</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
== Intro ==<br />
It's possible your channel at some point gets bothered by an annoying chatter who keeps coming back.<br />
In stead of kicking them every time, it usually is better to ban the person from your channel.<br />
This can be done in several ways.<br />
<br />
== Ban Formats ==<br />
Maybe it is useful to first explain which information is available to you for setting a ban that affects 1 or multiple persons.<br />
A ban basically can be set in 1 of the following 2 formats:<br />
nickname!ident@host.name<br />
nickname!ident@ip<br />
where the hostname and the IP address can be a 'real' address, but also a socalled VHost or a 'masked' host/IP.<br />
<br />
== IP and Hostname ==<br />
By default Chat4All does not show the full hostnames or IP-addresses of other chatters, but a so-called 'masked' address.<br />
In a masked host the first part of the hostname gets replaced with "Chat4all-" followed by a hexadecimal number (for instance Chat4all-9DCCB19), or is the IP displayed in hexadecimal octals where the last octal is replaced with the text ".IP".<br />
<br />
A user can also choose to request their own VHost; a virtual host that has no connection whatsoever with their real hostname or IP-address.<br />
<br />
To offer a form of privacy towards the chatters, only IRC ''Server'' Operators can see the real IP-addresses and Hostnames of other users, unless the user decides themselves to disable their host-masking or VHost.<br />
<br />
== Whois ==<br />
This all might sound very technical, but it is not really important for the banning process, because all the information you need can be obtained through the so-called ''"/whois nickname"'' command.<br />
This shows, amongst other things, the ident and the (masked/virtual) hostname or (masked) IP-address of the chatter with the nickname you supplied in the command.<br />
<br />
A couple of examples of the fictive users "MissAnon", "Devilish_Angel" and WaterLover31:<br />
<br />
=== Masked IP ===<br />
''/whois MissAnon''<br />
<br />
MissAnon is ~Anon@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP * MissAnon is my name, Secrecy is my fame<br />
MissAnon on #lounge<br />
MissAnon using eu.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
MissAnon has been idle 23mins 58secs, signed on Tue Apr 20 00:53:34<br />
MissAnon End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
The ident of the user '''MissAnon''' is '''Anon''' (the ~ indicates the lack of an [[IDENTd|identd]] response) and the masked IP-address is '''1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP'''. It also shows the 'real name' or 'GECOS' the user set, in this case '''"MissAnon is my name, Secrecy is my fame"'''.<br />
Your IRC client might format the response a bit differently, but the available information should be the same.<br />
<br />
=== Masked Hostname ===<br />
''/whois Devilish_Angel''<br />
<br />
Devilish_Angel is quasselcor@Chat4all-1AB43129.hsf2.comcast.net * The hellfire is cold and the holywater burns!<br />
Devilish_Angel on @#heavenOrHellfire<br />
Devilish_Angel using us.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
Devilish_Angel End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
The ident of Devilish_Angel is '''quasselcor''' (which probably indicates the user is using the IRC client 'QuasselCore'. Their masked hostname is '''Chat4all-1AB43129.hsf2.comcast.net''' and their 'real name'/'GECOS' is '''"The hellfire is cold and the holywater burns!"'''<br />
<br />
=== VHost ===<br />
''/whois WaterLover31''<br />
<br />
WaterLover31 is w@ter.is.amazing * Splash!<br />
WaterLover31 is a registered nick<br />
WaterLover31 on &#waterbase<br />
WaterLover31 using eu.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
WaterLover31 has been idle 1hr 11mins 38secs, signed on Mon Apr 19 23:58:10<br />
WaterLover31 End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
For this last user, going by the nickname '''WaterLover31''', ident is '''w''' and the VHost is '''ter.is.amazing'''. Their 'real name'/'GECOS' is '''"Splash!"'''.<br />
<br />
== Channelbans ==<br />
A simple ban can be set via:<br />
/mode #channelName +b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
This one can then be easily removed again with:<br />
/mode #channelName -b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
An overview of all currently active bans in the channel can be requested with the following command:<br />
/mode #channelName +b<br />
Most clients offer graphical user interface options for this as well. The Windows IRC client mIRC for instance, show the current ban list by double clicking in the text buffer area of the channel. Here you can also remove individual bans.<br />
Kickbanning a user can usually also easily be achieved through context-menus that show up by right-clicking on the username of the user you want to ban.<br />
<br />
The commands described here should however be available and working the same way in all IRC clients. Remember though to replace ''#channelName'' with the actual name of your own channel you want to ban the user from!<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
For instance, imagine you are an operator on the channel ''#deadbeats'' and an annoying chatter by the nickname '''SirBitchalot''' is bothering your channel.<br /><br />
His hostname is '''"Chat4all-C32E5E2E.aol.com"''' and the ident is set to '''"elma"'''.<br /><br />
The chatter is using the Chat4All Java applet, so the 'real name'/'GECOS' of the user is set to "Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com".<br /><br />
A ''/whois SirBitchalot'' will then probably look something like this:<br />
<br />
SirBitchalot is elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com * Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com<br />
SirBitchalot is a registered nick<br />
SirBitchalot on #lounge @#iLoveTrolling #deadbeats<br />
SirBitchalot using eu.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
SirBitchalot End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
The line:<br />
SirBitchalot is a registered nick<br />
can be missing if the user hasn't register their nickname, or is currently not logged in through NickServ.<br />
<br />
=== Precision Ban ===<br />
If you want to ban that person with exact that nickname, ident and hostname, you issue the following command:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b SirBitchalot!elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com<br />
Then no-one can join the room anymore with that precise combination of nickname, ident and hostname. Usually this isn't really effective though, since the user only needs to change their nickname or ident.<br />
<br />
=== Nickname ===<br />
If you want to ban everyone who uses the nickname SirBitchalot from your channel, you use:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b SirBitchalot!*@*<br />
You can imagine that this ban isn't really effective either, because the user only needs to change their nickname to evade the ban.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard ===<br />
The * (asterisk/star) symbols you can see in the above examples, are socalled '''wildcards''', which means that the chat won't look at anything that is in that spot. It kinda means something like "anything is allowed on this spot".<br /><br />
In the above nickname example it for instance means it doesn't matter what the ident or the hostname of the user is. Every part and subpart of the "nickname!ident@host.name" and "nickname!ident@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP" format can be replaced with a wildcard '''*'''.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard nickname ===<br />
You could for instance use the wildcards to disallow certain cussing nicknames, for instance:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *ass*!*@*<br />
This would mean that no-one with '''"ass"''' in their nickname is allowed to enter the room. So, '''"YouAreAnAss"''' can't get in, however, someone with the nickname '''"brass"''' or '''"assignment"''' wouldn't be allowed either. So, be careful that you don't set a too wide ban.<br />
<br />
=== Ident ===<br />
If you want to ban everyone who uses the ident '''elma''', you type:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!elma@*<br />
This ban isn't always very effective either, since the user only needs to edit their ident.<br />
<br />
Also keep in mind that some users get an extra ~ (tilde-sign) in front of their ident, to indicate that they aren't running a so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident 'identd'] service. This ~ also would need to be added to the ident ban, or replaced with a * wildcard.<br /><br />
<br />
Because some IRC clients also set the ident automatically, you could also be banning certain IRC clients from yoru channel. The use case for this is rather limited though. As an example you have for instance the IRC client "Quasselcore", which by default sets the ident to "quasselcor". You could ban this client by setting:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!quasselcor@*<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!~quasselcor@*<br />
However, in reality there isn't really any reason to ban this client from your channel.<br />
<br />
=== Hostname ===<br />
A far more effective ban is one on the ''hostname''. A hostname in general isn't easy to change for the average user, since internet service providers usually link hostnames and IP-addresses for a longer time to a single internet connection.<br />
<br />
If you want to ban everyone with the hostname Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com, then the following ban should do the trick:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com<br />
<br />
Unfortunately there are still providers that assign dynamic hosts/IP-addresses to users that change every time the person restarts their modem, or dials in again.<br />
Is this the case with the chatter you want to ban and they get a slightly different IP or hostname every time, then you can choose to 'wildcard' the changing part, in other words, replace it with a *.<br /><br />
Be careful! This can ban a part of your legitimate chatters from your channel as well!<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!*@*.aol.com<br />
could for instance ban all AOL users from your channel.<br /><br />
Better could for instance be to combine this with an ident ban, like for instance everyone with an ident that starts with "elma" and have AOL.com as internet service provider:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *!elma*@*.aol.com<br />
or everyone with a nickname that has Bitch in it, and aol.com als provider:<br />
/mode #deadbeats +b *bitch*!*@*.aol.com<br />
<br />
So, if you want to ban someone with a specific IP or hostname from your channel, then you type:<br />
/mode #channelName +b *!*@hostname.of.person<br />
<br />
== Ban Exceptions ==<br />
In the case that you have no other option but to set a ban on a wide range (such as the *!*@*.aol.com example above), the channel mode +e is available to allow someone to join even though there is a ban matching some part of their host. The hostnames used in this command are identical to how you use them with bans.<br />
<br />
'''Note: There is currently no permanent way via services to maintain this list. When the last person leaves, this list, much like the ban list, will be cleared.'''<br />
<br />
As an example, assume you have *!*@*.aol.com banned already. You have a legitimate chatter using the nick RegularJoe, using AOL as their ISP. You could allow this person in while still having AOL banned using this command:<br />
/mode #channelName +e RegularJoe!*@*<br />
This would allow anyone using the nick RegularJoe in, regardless if they use AOL or not.<br />
<br />
If this person uses a constant ident, you could improve this by including the ident:<br />
/mode #channelName +e RegularJoe!*thejoe@*<br />
<br />
Removal of a ban exception also works like bans:<br />
/mode #channelName -e RegularJoe!*@*<br />
<br />
== Akick ==<br />
'''Note: regular bans ''(set with /mode #channel +b)'' disappear when the last user leaves the channel!'''<br />
<br />
If you want to keep the bans even when the channel has been empty, then you can place so called 'akicks' (auto-kickbans) through ChanServ.<br /><br />
Your channel '''needs to be registered through ChanServ''' to be able to do this though! You can find [http://chat4all.net/eng_yourchatroom.html detailed channel registration instructions] on http://chat4all.net/eng_yourchatroom.html<br />
<br />
Placing an AKick ban can be done with the same banmasks, which you enter in the following command:n:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #channelName ADD nickname!ident@host.name<br />
<br />
So, looking back at our previous example, to permanently ban everyone connecting from Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com from the channel #deadbeats, you use:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #deadbeats ADD *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com<br />
<br />
Or, if you want to ban the IP-address (let's say that 192.168.2.1 is the user's IP-address) then that's possible as well with:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #deadbeats ADD *!*@192.168.2.1<br />
<br />
Or with a masked IP-address:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #deadbeats ADD *!*@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP<br />
<br />
If the person has a registered nickname, you can also place this on the AKick list:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #deadbeats ADD SirBitchalot<br />
<br />
To review you Akick list, you can utilize this command:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #channelName VIEW<br />
<br />
You can replace VIEW with LIST if you do not need to see who set each entry and when it was set.<br />
<br />
If anyone enters the room then who has identified through NickServ for the nickname SirBitchalot, then they'll automatically get kickbanned. This can for instance be useful if the user has several nicknames grouped through NICKSERV GROUP and uses several different VHosts.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
If your channel is registered, and you have a BotServ bot in your channel with the FANTASY option set to ON (which is set by default), then you can use the '''!kb''' command to kickban someone.<br />
The BotServ bot will then automatically place a ban on the hostname of the given person:<br />
!kb SirBitchalot<br />
will place a ban on *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com<br />
<br />
You can also put this hostban on the AKick list by typing the '''!akick''' command<br />
!akick add *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.aol.com Bitch!<br />
in your channel. This will place an akick on ''*!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl'' with the ban message "Bitch!". <br />
Currently it unfortunately is only possible to give a single word as kick reason.<br />

== Intro ==<br />
Het kan voorkomen dat je last hebt van een vervelende chatter die elke keer terugkomt in je kanaal.<br />
In plaats van hem/haar elke keer te kicken, is het in zo'n geval handiger om die persoon te verbannen uit je kanaal met een 'ban'.<br />
Dit kan op verschillende manieren.<br />
<br />
== Banformaten ==<br />
Misschien is het handig om eerst uit te leggen welke informatie je tot je beschikking hebt om 1 of meerdere personen te bannen uit je kamer.<br />
Een ban kan gezet worden in 1 van de volgende 2 formaten:<br />
nickname!ident@host.name<br />
nickname!ident@ip<br />
waarbij de hostname en het IP adres een 'echt' adres kan zijn, maar ook een zogenaamde VHost, of een 'masked' host/IP.<br />
<br />
== IP en Hostname ==<br />
Standaard toont Chat4All geen volledige host.names of IP-adressen van de chatters, maar een zogenaamd 'masked' adres.<br /><br />
Hierbij wordt het eerste deel van de hostname vervangen met "Chat4all-" gevolgd door een hexadecimaal getal (bijvoorbeeld Chat4all-9DCCB19), of wordt het IP weergegeven in hexadecimale octalen waarbij het laatste octaal vervangen is met de tekst ".IP".<br /><br />
Een gebruiker kan er ook voor kiezen om een eigen VHost aan te vragen die helemaal geen verband heeft met zijn echte hostname of IP-adres.<br /><br />
Om iets van privacy te bieden naar de chatters, kunnen alleen IRC ''Server'' Operators de echte IP-adressen en Hostnames zien van chatters, tenzij de gebruiker ervoor kiest om zijn masking of VHost uit te zetten.<br /><br />
<br />
== Whois ==<br />
Dit klinkt allemaal vrij technisch, maar is op zich niet belangrijk voor het bannen.<br />
Al de informatie die je nodig hebt, is namelijk te verkrijgen via het zogenaamde ''"/whois nickname"'' commando. Dit toont onder andere de ident en de (masked/virtual) hostname of (masked) IP adres van de chatter met de nickname die je opgeeft.<br />
<br />
Een paar voorbeelden van de fictieve gebruikers "Anoniempje", "Duivels_Engeltje":<br />
<br />

<br />
== Channelbans ==<br />
Een ban is te zetten via:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal +b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
Deze is vervolgens weer te verwijderen met:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal -b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
Tot slot is een overzicht van alle huidige geplaatste bans in het kanaal op te vragen met:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal +b<br />
Veel clients bieden hiervoor ook grafische interface mogelijkheden voor. De Windows IRC client mIRC toont bijvoorbeeld de huidige ban lijst als je dubbelklikt in het tekstbuffer gedeelte van het kanaal. Hier kan je dan ook individuele bans verwijderen. Het kickbannen van een persoon kan vaak via een menuutje dat verschijnt als je met de rechtermuisknop klikt op een nickname.<br /><br />
De hier beschreven commando's zouden echter in alle clients hetzelfde moeten werken. Denk er wel aan om ''#naamVanKanaal'' met de naam van je eigen kamer te vervangen!<br />
<br />
== Voorbeeld ==<br />
Stel, jij bent operator op de kamer ''#flierefluiters'' en je hebt last van een vervelender chatter die zich 'klierekruid16' noemt.<br /><br />
Zijn hostname is 'Chat4all-C32E5E2E.quicknet.nl' en de ident is ingesteld op 'elma'.<br /><br />
De chatter gebruikt het Chat4All applet, dus de 'realname'/'gecos' van de gebruiker is "Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com"<br /><br />
Een ''/whois klierekruid16'' zal er dan waarschijnlijk ongeveer zo uitzien:<br />
<br />
klierekruid16 is elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl * Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com<br />
klierekruid16 is a registered nick<br />
klierekruid16 on #lounge @#iktreitergraag #flierefluiters<br />
klierekruid16 using eu.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
klierekruid16 End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
De regel:<br />
klierekruid16 is a registered nick<br />
kan ontbreken indien de gebruiker zijn nickname niet geregistreerd heeft, of momenteel niet is ingelogd via NickServ.<br />
<br />
=== Exact ===<br />
Als je de persoon met exact die nickname, ident en hostname wilt bannen, tik je:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid16!elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
Dan kan niemand vanaf die hostname, met dat ident en die nickname in de kamer komen. Dit is over het algemeen niet echt effectief, aangezien de persoon alleen maar zijn nickname of ident hoeft aan te passen.<br />
<br />
=== Nickname ===<br />
Als je iedereen met de nickname klierekruid16 wilt bannen:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid16!*@*<br />
Je kan je voorstellen dat ook deze ban niet echt effectief is, aangezien de gebande chatter alleen maar zijn/haar nickname hoeft te veranderen om de ban te omzeilen.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard ===<br />
De * (asterisk/sterretje) tekens die je hierboven ziet zijn zogenaamde 'wildcards', wat betekent dat de chat dan niet kijkt naar wat er op die plek staat. Het betekent eigenlijk dus zoiets als "alles mag op deze plek".<br /><br />
In het bovenstaande nickname voorbeeld betekent het dus dat het niet uitmaakt wat de ident of hostname van de gebruiker is. Elk deel en subdeel van het "nickname!ident@host.name" en "nickname!ident@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP" formaat kan vervangen worden met een wildcard '''*'''.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard nickname ===<br />
De wildcards zou je dus kunnen gebruiken om bepaalde kwetsende nicknames niet toe te staan, bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *eikel*!*@*<br />
Dit betekent dat niemand met ''"eikel"'' in hun nickname de kamer in kan komen. Dus iemand met de nickname "jan_is_een_eikel" komt er niet in, maar ook "eikelboom" en "Heikel" komen er niet in. Pas dus op dat je niet een te brede wildcard ban zet.<br />
<br />
=== Ident ===<br />
Als je iedereen met de ident elma wilt bannen, tik je:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!elma@*<br />
Ook deze ban is niet altijd even effectief, aangezien de gebruiker alleen zijn ident maar hoeft te veranderen.<br />
Houdt er overigens ook rekening mee dat sommige gebruikers een extra ~ (tilde-teken) vóór hun ident krijgen, om aan te geven dat zij geen zogenaamde [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident 'identd'] service draaien. Deze ~ zou je dan ook bij de ident ban moeten schrijven, of vervangen door een * wildcard.<br /><br />
<br />
Aangezien sommige IRC chat programma's automatisch de ident instellen, zou je op die manier bepaalde clients kunnen weren uit je kanaal. De usecase hiervoor is echter nogal beperkt. Als voorbeeld is er bijvoorbeeld de client "Quasselcore", welk de ident standaard instelt op "quasselcor". Deze client zou je dus kunnen bannen met:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!quasselcor@*<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!~quasselcor@*<br />
Echter, in de praktijk is er geen reden om dit programma te weren.<br />
<br />
=== Hostname ===<br />
Een effectievere ban is er een op ''hostname''. Een hostname is over het algemeen namelijk niet makkelijk te veranderen voor de gemiddelde gebruiker, aangezien providers hostnames en IP-adressen vaak voor langere tijd aan 1 internet aansluiting koppelen.<br />
Als je iedereen met hostname Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl wilt bannen:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Helaas zijn er nog steeds wel providers die dynamische hosts/IPs uitgeven die veranderen bij elke keer dat de persoon zijn modem herstart, of opnieuw inbelt.<br />
Is dit het geval bij jouw vervelende chatter die je wilt bannen en krijgt hij/zij elke keer een iets anders IP of hostname, dan kan je ervoor kiezen om het veranderende deel te 'wildcarden', kortom te vervangen met een *.<br /><br />
Let op! Dit kan een deel van legitieme chatters ook uit je kanaal weren! <br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
zou bijvoorbeeld alle gebruikers die quicknet.nl als provider hebben, weren uit je kanaal.<br /><br />
Handiger zou misschien zijn om dit te combineren met een ident ban, zoals bijvoorbeeld iedereen met een ident die begint met "elma" en quicknet.nl als provider:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!elma*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
of iedereen met een nickname die begint met klierekruid en quicknet.nl als provider<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid*!*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Als je iemand met een specifiek IP of hostname wilt bannen uit je kamer, dan tik je dus:<br />
/mode #naamVanKamer +b *!*@hostname.van.persoon<br />
<br />
== Akick ==<br />
'''Let op, normale channel bans ''(gezet met /mode #kanaal +b)'' verdwijnen zodra de laatste gebruiker de kamer verlaat (en de kamer dus leeg is)!'''<br />
<br />
Wil je de bans ook bewaren als de kamer leeg is geweest, dan kan je zogenaamde 'akicks' (auto-kickbans) plaatsen via ChanServ.<br /><br />
Let op, hiervoor '''moet je kamer wel geregistreerd zijn'''. (Op http://www.chat4all.be/nl_eigenchatkamer.html kan je lezen hoe je je kamer registreert.)<br />
<br />
Het plaatsen van een AKick kan met dezelfde banmasks, die je in het volgende commando moet plaatsen:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #NaamVanKamer ADD nickname!ident@host.name<br />
<br />
Je kan ook een eigen kick bericht opgeven:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #NaamVanKamer ADD nickname!ident@host.name Hier kan je je eigen kick reden opgeven.<br />
<br />
Dus om terug te grijpen op ons eerder voorbeeld, bijvoorbeeld om iedereen van Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl uit je kamer #flierefluiters permanent te auto-kickbannen, tik je:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl We willen hier geen klieren!<br />
<br />
Of, als je het op IP (laten we zeggen dat 192.168.2.1 het IP is) wilt doen kan dat ook, bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@192.168.2.1<br />
<br />
Of met een masked IP:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP Opzouten jij klierekruid!<br />
<br />
Als de persoon een geregistreerde nickname heeft, kan je die ook op de AKick lijst plaatsen:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD klierekruid16<br />
Als er dan iemand de kamer binnenkomt die via NickServ zich geïdentificeerd heeft voor de nickname klierekruid16, dan wordt hij automatisch gekickbanned. Dit kan handig zijn als een gebruiker meerdere nicknames gegroepeerd heeft via NICKSERV GROUP en diverse verschillende VHosts heeft voor iedere nick in de group.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Als je kanaal geregistreerd is, en je hebt een BotServ bot in je kamer met de FANTASY optie (standaard) aan, dan kan je ook het ''!kb'' commando gebruiken om iemand te kickbannen.<br />
De BotServ bot zal dan automatisch een ban zetten op de hostname van de opgegeven persoon.<br />
!kb klierekruid16<br />
zal dus een ban zetten op *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Je kan deze hostban ook op de AKick lijst zetten met het ''!akick'' commando.<br />
!akick add *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl Klier<br />
in je kanaal zal een akick plaatsen op ''*!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl'' met de kick-message "Klier". Momenteel is het helaas alleen mogelijk om een enkel woord als kick reden op te geven.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=NL/Ban&diff=2892NL/Ban2013-09-08T14:11:46Z<p>FiXato: /* Akick */ added akick reason</p>

Je kan ook een eigen kick bericht opgeven:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #NaamVanKamer ADD nickname!ident@host.name Hier kan je je eigen kick reden opgeven.<br />
<br />
Dus om terug te grijpen op ons eerder voorbeeld, bijvoorbeeld om iedereen van Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl uit je kamer #flierefluiters permanent te auto-kickbannen, tik je:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl We willen hier geen klieren!<br />
<br />
Of, als je het op IP (laten we zeggen dat 192.168.2.1 het IP is) wilt doen kan dat ook, bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@192.168.2.1<br />
<br />
Of met een masked IP:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP Opzouten jij klierekruid!<br />
<br />
Als de persoon een geregistreerde nickname heeft, kan je die ook op de AKick lijst plaatsen:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD klierekruid16<br />
Als er dan iemand de kamer binnenkomt die via NickServ zich geïdentificeerd heeft voor de nickname klierekruid16, dan wordt hij automatisch gekickbanned. Dit kan handig zijn als een gebruiker meerdere nicknames gegroepeerd heeft via NICKSERV GROUP en diverse verschillende VHosts heeft voor iedere nick in de group.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Als je kanaal geregistreerd is, en je hebt een BotServ bot in je kamer met de FANTASY optie (standaard) aan, dan kan je ook het ''!kb'' commando gebruiken om iemand te kickbannen.<br />
De BotServ bot zal dan automatisch een ban zetten op de hostname van de opgegeven persoon.<br />
!kb klierekruid16<br />
zal dus een ban zetten op *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Je kan deze hostban ook op de AKick lijst zetten met het ''!akick'' commando.<br />
!akick add *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl Klier<br />
in je kanaal zal een akick plaatsen op ''*!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl'' met de kick-message "Klier". Momenteel is het helaas alleen mogelijk om een enkel woord als kick reden op te geven.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=Chat4All&diff=2891Chat4All2013-09-03T17:54:01Z<p>FiXato: Added info about StatServ, LogServ and the channel user list widget.</p>

Chat4all is a IRC network founded by Adonix ''(back then still going by the nick Adonis)'' in 2000, so we've been around for quite some time, and aren't planning on going away. Over the years he's had the help of several other IRC Operators, such as Saya, Rafe`, Stuffness and the current [[IRCops|staff]]. So his task is getting easier [[image:Smile.gif|smiley]]. We are a nice family-oriented network that doesn't believe IRC is a man-only world, with regular visitors from all around the world, so be sure to check out our channel list and join us in #lounge. Over the years, the network has become a home for several communities, of which most are related to lucid dreaming, web-radio, SciFi, gaming and/or spiritual topics.<br />
We've survived DDoS attacks, floodbots etc and fully armed to get rid of them [[image:Smile.gif|smiley]].<br />
<br />
Chat4All is the IRC network where you can find opportunities to find new friends, chat about your interests, or even find a new love (it has happened and two of our staff are an example of this [[image:Smile.gif|smiley]]). Being on chat networks such as Chat4All can make all this, and more, happen. We are an IRC network created to provide a place for people to find new friends and chat about common interests. In addition to a number of multilingual rooms, Chat4All hosts a few Dutch language chat rooms as well. We also support [[SSL]] connections, just connect to port 7001 or 6697 if you wish to use this feature.<br />
<br />
At the moment we are listed on various IRC sites such as : [http://searchirc.com/search.php?SCHANS=1&SSORT=SIZE&N=Chat4All SearchIRC] and [http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=Chat4All.org Netsplit].<br />
<br />
By default the servers partially mask the hosts of the users. If desired, a virtual/vanity host can be requested through HostServ, as long as it isn't a registered domain name, or if the user can submit proof of ownership for it.<br />
<br />
= IRC services =<br />
== Main Services ==<br />
To provide our chatters with some ''tools'' for a nice chat session. We installed some services :<br />
=== NickServ ===<br />
Nickserv keeps track of all the registered user accounts. You can [[RegisterNickname|Register your nickname]] on our network, so nobody else can use your nickname while you are gone. <br />
A registered nickname also allows you to register chatrooms, and make use of the other services on our network.<br />
All commands to the NickServ bot should be prefixed with /NICKSERV (or if your client does not support sending 'unknown' commands onto the server by default, you could either prefix with /QUOTE NICKSERV or /MSG NICKSERV). A shorthand alias is also available as server command /NS.<br />
For a list of available NickServ commands, send:<br />
/NICKSERV HELP<br />
<br />
=== ChanServ ===<br />
ChanServ keeps track of all the registered chatrooms, and offers various features to manage and maintain your channel.<br />
If you have registered your nickname through NickServ, and have operator rights in a channel on our network, you can register it through ChanServ. After you have registered your channel, you can also assign a BotServ [[Bot|channel bot]] to your channel for even more features.<br />
All commands to the ChanServ bot should be prefixed with /CHANSERV (or if your client does not support sending 'unknown' commands onto the server by default, you could either prefix with /QUOTE CHANSERV or /MSG CHANSERV). A shorthand alias is also available as server command /CS.<br />
For a list of available ChanServ commands, send:<br />
/CHANSERV HELP<br />
<br />
=== MemoServ ===<br />
This underused service allows you to send and receive brief messages to/from on- and off-line users who have their nickname [[RegisterNickname|registered]]<br />
<br />
All commands to the MemoServ bot should be prefixed with /MEMOSERV (or if your client does not support sending 'unknown' commands onto the server by default, you could either prefix with /QUOTE MEMOSERV or /MSG MEMOSERV). A shorthand alias is also available as server command /MS.<br />
For a list of available MemoServ commands, send:<br />
/MEMOSERV HELP<br />
<br />
=== HelpServ ===<br />
If you don't know which bot you need to 'talk' to, to get a specific thing done, then checking HelpServ for more information might be useful. Just type:<br />
/HELPSERV HELP<br />
<br />
=== HostServ ===<br />
The HostServ bot can be used to request, activate or de-activate your [[Vhost|Virtual Host a.k.a. VHost]].<br />
<br />
All commands to the HostServ bot should be prefixed with /HOSTSERV (or if your client does not support sending 'unknown' commands onto the server by default, you could either prefix with /QUOTE HOSTSERV or /MSG HOSTSERV). A shorthand alias is also available as server command /HS.<br />
For a list of available HostServ commands, send:<br />
/HOSTSERV HELP<br />
Also read the [[Vhost]] article.<br />
<br />
=== BotServ ===<br />
BotServ is a service of the Anope IRC Services package that allows us to have more pseudoclients like ChanServ. It also allows setting up automatic kicks on for instance on flooding, excessive CAPITALS use and badwords.<br />
The separate [[BotServ|BotServ article]] might be filled later on with a more detailed manual of all the BotServ commands.<br />
<br />
In the meantime we would like to direct you to our [http://www.chat4all.net/manual/manual-bot_eng.html Online BotServ Manual] or to our wiki-page about [[Bot|Bots]] which also describes how to request a BotServ Bot.<br />
<br />
All commands to the BotServ bot should be prefixed with /BOTSERV (or if your client does not support sending 'unknown' commands onto the server by default, you could either prefix with /QUOTE BOTSERV or /MSG BOTSERV). A shorthand alias is also available as server command /BS.<br />
For a list of available BotServ commands, send:<br />
/BOTSERV HELP<br />
<br />
== Fun Services ==<br />
We used to have some 'fun services' installed as well on our network, namely [[LoveServ]] and [[MoraleServ]]. Two features you could use to tease or flirt with another chatter on our network. However, since it wasn't used a lot and the bots weren't really maintained, we are no longer offering them<br />
<br />
== LogServ ==<br />
Chat4all also provides [http://www.chat4all.org/eng_chanlog.html LogServ], a channel log service that can be requested by channel founders to keep web-accessible channel logs to your users.<br />
<br />
== StatServ ==<br />
Channel statistics are available through [http://statistics.chat4all.net/ StatServ].<br />
<br />
== Channel User List Widget ==<br />
We offer a [http://www.chat4all.org/eng_whoison.html 'Who is inside my channel'] service to website owners. This consists of a small piece of HTML code that can be included on your website to show who is inside your IRC channel. <br />
<br />
== Security Services ==<br />
These 'bots' are needed to keep our community safe and sound. <br /><br />
<br />
=== Watcher ===<br />
Our 'big-brother'[[image:smile.gif|Smiley]]. He keeps track of the flooders and annoying virus infected users. If you ever get killed by Watcher, then please read the [[Watcher|Watcher article on how you can prevent being identified as malicious user]].<br />
<br />
=== ReportServ ===<br />
this just sits on our server , waiting for YOU to call him. ReportServ is a bot where you can report any kind of abuse, spam or anything else! You are of course also welcome to join us in #support and either leave a message there, or wait for a staff member to respond to you.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=IRCops&diff=2890IRCops2013-09-03T17:49:21Z<p>FiXato: Updated staff-list</p>

<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
On the Chat4All Network it is possible to register your own chat, or channel in IRC terms.<br />
<br />
This will allow you to manage your channel under your registered nickname (if you have not yet registered your nick, follow our [[RegisterNickname|nickname registration instructions]] to do so), <br />
and manage things such as [[XOP|which users have operator access on your channel]] and control or otherwise [[ChannelSecurity|limit what users can access your channel]] in a more permanent fashion.<br />
<br />
== Some notes ==<br />
All commands you see here have to be typed in your chat window (preferably on the Status window of your [[IRC-Client]]. If you don't understand what I am talking about, it is the first window usually, different from the one where you usually chat. Else just type in the commands where you usually type your text messages to the other chatters)<br />
<br />
'''Also make sure you don't forget the slash-character ''/'' at the front of the commands!'''<br />
<br />
'''Furthermore, make sure your [[RegisterNickname|nick is registered]] and that you have channel operator powers (@) before trying to register a channel'''<br />
<br />
== Step One: Registering with [[ChanServ]] ==<br />
This first step is very basic. Once you've joined the channel you want to register (you should get opped (@) when you enter) and chosen a password which can be used to identify as the founder of the channel, you can use the following command:<br />
''/ChanServ Register <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> <span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span> <span style="color: blue;">Description Here</span>''<br />
You should replace '''''<span style="color: green;">#channel</span>''''' with the name of the channel you are registering and '''''<span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span>''''' with the chanserv password you've chosen.<br />'''''(Note: the password is case-sensitive. This means that ''Password'', ''PASSWORD'' and ''passWORD'' are different passwords..)'''''<br />
<br />
The '''''<span style="color: blue;">description</span>''''' can be anything you want; usually a short description of what your channel is about. <br />
It is shown if someone performs a ''/chanserv INFO'' command on your channel.<br />
<br />
If all goes well you should see something similar to:<br />
<br />
* ChanServ sets mode: +r<br />
* ChanServ sets mode: +q YourNickname<br />
<br />
in your channel.<br />
<br />
== Step Two: Identifying for your channel (generally optional) ==<br />
For the most part, the password you set when registering is not necessary, as when you are identified to your nickname, you will also be <br />
identified to your channel and be given +oq (operator + founder/ownership rights) on entry.<br />
The password is mostly useful in the event you want someone else to also have "founder" powers as well (they will lack access to, say, the DROP command).<br />
<br />
To use the channel password to identify to your channel, do: <br /><br />
''/ChanServ IDENTIFY <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> <span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span>''<br /><br />
(and of course replace <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> with the name of your channel and <span style="color: red;">YourPasswordHere</span> with the password you used when you registered your channel)<br />
<br />
Now that you know how to identify to your channel, you can also set some extra options.<br />
<br />
== Step Three: Setting the topic and various other options==<br />
Firstly, there is discussion on various methods to secure your channel further located at our [[ChannelSecurity]] page, which discusses the [[XOP]] and [[Levels]] systems, channel keys and methods of restricting access.<br />
<br />
The topic can be set just with the standard /topic command:<br />
<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
On the Chat4All Network it is possible to register your own chat, or channel in IRC terms.<br />
<br />
This will allow you to manage your channel under your registered nickname (if you have not yet registered your nick, follow our [[RegisterNickname|nickname registration instructions]] to do so), <br />
and manage things such as [[XOP|which users have operator access on your channel]] and control or otherwise [[ChannelSecurity|limit what users can access your channel]] in a more permanent fashion.<br />
<br />
== Some notes ==<br />
All commands you see here have to be typed in your chat window (preferably on the Status window of your [[IRC-Client]]. If you don't understand what I am talking about, it is the first window usually, different from the one where you usually chat. Else just type in the commands where you usually type your text messages to the other chatters)<br />
<br />
'''Also make sure you don't forget the slash-character ''/'' at the front of the commands!'''<br />
<br />
'''Furthermore, make sure your [[RegisterNickname|nick is registered]] and that you have channel operator powers (@) before trying to register a channel'''<br />
<br />
== Step One: Registering with [[ChanServ]] ==<br />
This first step is very basic. Once you've joined the channel you want to register (you should get opped (@) when you enter) and chosen a password which can be used to identify as the founder of the channel, you can use the following command:<br />
''/ChanServ Register <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> <span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span> <span style="color: blue;">Description Here</span>''<br />
You should replace '''''<span style="color: green;">#channel</span>''''' with the name of the channel you are registering and '''''<span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span>''''' with the chanserv password you've chosen.<br />'''''(Note: the password is case-sensitive. This means that ''Password'', ''PASSWORD'' and ''passWORD'' are different passwords..)'''''<br />
<br />
The '''''<span style="color: blue;">description</span>''''' can be anything you want; usually a short description of what your channel is about. <br />
It is shown if someone performs a ''/chanserv INFO'' command on your channel.<br />
<br />
If all goes well you should see something similar to:<br />
<br />
* ChanServ sets mode: +r<br />
* ChanServ sets mode: +q YourNickname<br />
<br />
in your channel.<br />
<br />
== Step Two: Identifying for your channel (generally optional) ==<br />
For the most part, the password you set when registering is not necessary, as when you are identified to your nickname, you will also be <br />
identified to your channel and be given +oq (operator + founder/ownership rights) on entry.<br />
The password is mostly useful in the event you want someone else to also have "founder" powers as well (they will lack access to, say, the DROP command).<br />
<br />
To use the channel password to identify to your channel, do: <br /><br />
''/ChanServ IDENTIFY <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> <span style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</span>''<br /><br />
''(and of course replace <span style="color: green;">#channel</span> with the name of your channel and <span style="color: red;">YourPasswordHere</span> with the password you used when you registered your channel)''<br />
<br />
Now that you know how to identify to your channel, you can also set some extra options.<br />
<br />
== Step Three: Setting the topic and various other options==<br />
Firstly, there is discussion on various methods to secure your channel further located at our [[ChannelSecurity]] page, which discusses the [[XOP]] and [[Levels]] systems, channel keys and methods of restricting access.<br />
<br />
The topic can be set just with the standard /topic command:<br />
<br />
/topic #channel Insert topic here<br />
<br />
ChanServ will retain the last set topic automatically by default in the event your channel empties out and will set it back when the first person enters.<br />
<br />
A message can be sent to all users joining your channel by setting an entry messsage:<br />
<br />
/ChanServ SET #channel ENTRYMSG Type message here<br />
<br />
<br />
There are more interesting options to be found by using the following command:<br />
''/ChanServ HELP SET''<br />
<br />
and:<br />
''/ChanServ HELP''<br />
<br />
These will list all ChanServ options and SET options.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=RegisterChannel&diff=2873RegisterChannel2013-01-14T22:17:36Z<p>FiXato: /* Step One: Registering with ChanServ */</p>

<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
On this page you can find answers to questions you may have. If the answer to your question is not listed here, then please open a support ticket on our [http://support.chat4all.net support portal] or ask it in our support channel.<br />
<br />
=Generic Questions=<br />
<br />
== Is having a chatroom at Chat4All free? ==<br />
Yes, having a chatroom at the Chat4All IRC Network is absolutely free!<br />
You don't even have to place a banner or put up with advertising. <br />
However, having a banner or a short line on your website, indicating that you have your chatroom on our network is more than appreciated. :-)<br />
<br />
== Why don't my commands work? ==<br />
Usually this is because of a syntax error. Check to see if you have typed the command as required. Also make sure that, in case a chatroom name is needed, the channel name starts with a # (hash-sign).<br />
<br />
Also make sure that you have used a space between the actual command and the channelname, and make sure you are not using any formatting codes like colours and bold inside the commands. ''The first character on the line has to be the '''/''' (forward-slash).'' So, for instance, it is ''/nickserv identify myP4ssw0rd'' and '''not''' ''nickserv identify myP4ssw0rd''.<br />
<br />
Finally, if you still have problems with sending commands to our services, you can try opening a private window for the service you need to send a command to, and enter just the command message to it there. For instance, if the command you need to execute is:<br />
''/msg ChanServ HELP''<br />
You can try opening a query window with ChanServ (''/query ChanServ'') and typing:<br />
''HELP''<br />
in that query window.<br />
<br />
It is also possible that a certain (channel-related) command doesn't work because you don't have the appropriate rights on that channel. For instance, if you aren't an operator, you can't /kick people off a channel. Or if you aren't an IRC Server Operator, you can't /kill someone off a server. Also, normal AOPs can't add people to the ChanServ AKick list for instance. Usually the message you get back from the server, will indicate this.<br />
<br />
== Can I become an operator in your Chat4All channels? ==<br />
Operators for our own rooms are appointed by invitation only. To become an operator in someone else's room, you will have to ask there. However, generally asking to become an operator (generally known as 'op-begging') somewhere is considered rude, and may result in getting kicked, or even banned from that chatroom.<br />
<br />
== Can I become an IRC-Operator or NetAdmin on Chat4All? == <br />
No, and people who ask (or even beg) to become an IRC Operator will not even be considered in case such position comes available. IRCOps are considered by invitation only. To become one, you will need to positively catch our attention; be friendly, helpful to others and be knowledgeable of the workings of IRC and our network in particular. And even then there is no guarantee you will be asked. Just have a good time, enjoy the chat.<br />
<br />
== Can I advertise my chatroom on your network? ==<br />
Definitely not.<br />
Advertising your chatroom in other chatrooms on our network is considered rude and thus not allowed.<br />
Would you want others to advertise their chatrooms inside your chatroom? Most likely not.<br />
<br />
However, we do have one exception to this rule: our channel [irc://irc.chat4all.org/chat4all #chat4all].<br />
This channel is, to a certain extent, created specifically for promotion of your own channel.<br />
<br />
== Can I advertise my IRC server or network on your network? ==<br />
'''Definitely not!'''<br />
If you own an IRC server, or you are a staff member on another IRC server/network and you advertise your services on our network, we will consider this spam and you will risk being permanently banned from our network and have your network's addresses [[Spamfilter|spamfiltered]] (blocked/banned).<br />
<br />
== Can I link to your network? ==<br />
If you run a server with its own userbase on a stable dedicated (Linux) server, VPS or shell, and have an IP of your own, you can try opening a support ticket on our [http://support.chat4all.net support portal]. Please note that you'd be required to use our services, and will not be able to take your network name with you. Should a link be accepted, you'd become part of the Chat4All network. If you run a Windows server, or your server is running from your home connection, you need not apply.<br />
<br />
= Security related questions =<br />
<br />
== My firewall software shows an alert every time I enter your network. Why is that? ==<br />
To keep our network clean of possible hackers, we check certain ports when a client connects to our network. These ports are usually used by people who use (open) proxies to enter the chat through someone else's computer without that person knowing it. People who have these open ports will not be allowed on our network. The alert is harmless when it comes from one of our IRC server addresses: <br />
* 188.138.95.217 (our European eu.chat4all.org server) <br />
* 69.64.52.243 (our American us.chat4all.org server).<br />
<br />
== It takes minutes to get connected, why is that? ==<br />
You are probably behind a router or a firewall, which is blocking the TCP 113 port which is used for [[IdentD|IdentDaemons]]. Open/forward this port in your router/firewall (visit portforward.com to find out how to do this for your router/firewall) and you'll find that the access time is vastly improved and your ident will no longer be prefixed with a ~.<br />
<br />
== How can I hide my IP or hostname? ==<br />
We already mask your IP/Hostname to a certain extent by masking the last octet/part.<br />
However, for registered users we also provide custom hostmasks through a [[Vhost|Virtual/Vanity Host]], also known as a Vhost. <br />
Visit the [[vhost]] page for a detailed explanation and [[Vhost#How_to_request|how to request a vhost]].<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you (and the IRC ''Server'' [[Staff]]) will still be able to see your IP in a /whois on yourself in the 'connecting from' response, however other users can't.<br />
<br />
== Can you read my private messages? ==<br />
No we can't.<br />
Even though regular IRC private messages are send to/from the IRC server, we cannot, ''and will not'' read them.<br />
Doing this would be a breach of privacy which is not only unethical, in some countries it is even illegal.<br />
We do however use software that automatically blocks messages that contain spamfiltered entries, such as virus spam and exploit attempts. This however is not used to eavesdrop on your conversations.<br />
<br />
If you want to be sure your conversations can't be eavesdropped at all, we advise connecting through our SSL port, and only starting private conversations with users that also are on a 'secure connection'. This should enforce end-to-end SSL encryption of your conversation.<br />
<br />
An alternative would be to use DCC CHAT, which will only use the server to initiate a DCC CHAT session and after which the rest of the DCC CHAT session will go via a peer-to-peer connection.<br />
However, note that in this case the security of your conversation lies without our scope, and without encryption (such as SSL or OTR (Off-The-Record) plugin for your IRC client), anyone between your connection and your conversation partner, such as your ISP, could ''theoretically'' eavesdrop the conversation.<br />
<br />
To recap: Chat4All staff will not/cannot read your private conversations, nor can they follow conversations in rooms they are not present. <br />
However if you need an improved sense of security, we advise you to connect to our SSL port to enable SSL encryption when possible (such as a PM with another SSL-enabled user, or in a +Z channel).<br />
Additional security, sometimes at the cost of convenience/compatibility, can be obtained by using client-side encryption plugins such as [http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ OTR]. <br />
For instance [http://irssi-otr.tuxfamily.org/ OTR for irssi], [http://wiki.flashtux.org/wiki/WeeChat/irc-otr for weechat], [http://git.tuxfamily.org/irssiotr/irssiotr.git?p=gitroot/irssiotr/irssiotr.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.xchat;hb=HEAD for XChat], or [http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/#downloads for Pidgin]. <br />

= User related questions =<br />
<br />
== Why haven't I received a confirmation mail even though I registered through NickServ? ==<br />
Make sure you enter the correct e-mail address before you finish your nickname registration. Also check to see if your mailbox isn't full. Finally, nowadays many people (and ISP's) have spam filters in place which can error in detecting what is spam or not. Check to see if your spam filter is not set too high or if your registration/confirmation e-mail has ended up in your junk/spambox. Especially yahoo addresses seem to have problems receiving our confirmation e-mails.<br />
<br />
If you still don't receive a confirmation mail, contact a Chat4All Services Operator. They can drop your registration request, so you can try with a different e-mailaddress, or possibly see on the server what the problem is.<br />
<br />
== Why doesn't the NickServ confirmation code work? ==<br />
When you register your nickname through NickServ, you get an e-mail with a confirmation code<br />
The E-mail will look somewhat like this:<br />
<br />
'''Subject:''' Nickname Registration (YourNickname)<br />
'''From:''' registration (AT) chat4all (DOT) org<br />
'''Content:'''<br />
----<br />
Hi,<br /><br />
You have requested to register the following nickname YourNickname.<br /><br />
Please type " ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' " to complete registration.<br /><br />
If you don't know why this mail is sent to you, please ignore it silently.<br /><br />
PLEASE DON'T ANSWER TO THIS MAIL!<br /><br />
chat4all administrators.<br /><br />
<br />
of course the confirmation code will be different ;)<br /><br />
So, just follow the instructions, copy the entire line<br />
''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3''<br />
to your chatwindow to confirm your registration.<br />
<br />
You should now get a Notice-Message from NickServ again, this time stating that the registration has been completed:<br />
NickServ : Nickname ''YourNickname'' registered under your account: ''*your@*.host.name''<br />
NickServ : Your password is ''YourPassword'' - remember this for later use.<br />
<br />
If, however, you get a different message, stating that the giving confirmation code was incorrect, then you should check for errors in your typing; perhaps you misjudged a ''zero'' ''(0)'' for an'' 'O'-character '' or a capital ''i'' for a lowercase ''L''. The code is case-sensitive.<br /><br />
The best way to prevent typos is, to select the line from your E-mail, copy it (''by holding down the CTRL-key and pressing the 'c'-key''), and paste it in your chatwindow (''by holding down the CTRL-key again and pressing the 'v'-key'').<br />
<br />
Also make sure you are not copying the double quotes that are around the confirmation line. Commands always start with a '''/'''<br />
<br />
== User x is no longer online, can I still leave a message? ==<br />
If both you, and the person you want to leave a message for, are registered through NickServ, you can use our MemoServ services bot to send a message:<br />
''/MEMOSERV SEND recipientNickname Your message goes here.''<br />
<br />
For instance, if you want to send the user JohnnyExample the message ''"Hei, shame we missed each other online. Can you give me a call when you get this?"'', then type:<br />
''/MEMOSERV SEND JohnnyExample Hei, shame we missed each other online. Can you give me a call when you get this?''<br />
<br />
When JohnnyExample comes online, he'll get a notice from MemoServ that he has a new message waiting. He can then read this message with:<br />
''/MEMOSERV READ NEW''<br />
<br />
Note: you can only send to registered users, and you need to be identified for a registered nickname as well.<br />
<br />
== Why does my nick keep changing to Chat4All_124354? ==<br />
You (or someone else) has registered that nickname and enabled the [[NickServ_Kill_Setting|KILL feature]]. The KILL feature will automatically change the nickname to Chat4All_ followed by a random number when a user does not [[Identify|Identify for that nickname]] within 20 or 60 seconds (depending on the KILL setting).<br />
<br />
If it wasn't you who registered that nickname, then you should pick a different nickname instead. <br />
If you had registered (and confirmed) that nickname within the last 50 days, you should [[Identify|remember to identify for your nickname]] with:<br />
''/NICKSERV IDENTIFY replaceWithYourPassword''<br />
<br />
== Why am I no longer registered? ==<br />
Your nickname will automatically expire if [[Identify|you haven't identified for it in the past 50 days]].<br />
<br />
Your nickname will also be unregistered if you use the<br />
''/NICKSERV DROP''<br />
command.<br />
If you are sure that you identified in the past 50 days, and that you haven't manually dropped your nickname, please open a support ticket on our [http://support.chat4all.net support portal], explaining your problem and including your nickname, your IP and, if you remember, when you registered your nickname. (You can maybe find your confirmation e-mail for this).<br />
<br />
== How can I unregister my nickname? ==<br />
If you no longer want your nickname and e-mail address registered at Chat4All, you can manually drop your nickname yourself with the following command:<br />
''/NICKSERV DROP''<br />
Note that you first need to [[Identify|identify for your nickname]]. If you can't remember your password, as a Chat4All services operator to have it send to the e-mailaddress linked to the NickServ account with the SENDPASS command.<br />
<br />
== How many nicknames may I register? ==<br />
You may register 1 (master/main) nicknames per e-mail address. Should you need multiple nicknames, then you can group up to 4 more nicknames to the main nickname using the NickServ Group command:<br />
''/NICKSERV GROUP replaceWithMainNickname replaceWithMainNickname'sPassword''<br />
For instance, if you have already registered the nickname MeatPie with the password '0hs0juic3y!' and you want to group/link the nickname BlueBerryPie to it, you first do:<br />
''/NICK BlueBerryPie''<br />
To make BlueBerryPie your currently active nickname, and then you enter:<br />
''/NICKSERV GROUP MeatPie 0hs0juic3y!''<br />
<br />
So, per e-mail address you can have up to 5 registered nicknames through the use of the NickServ GROUP command. Please note though, that every single nickname in your group needs to be identified for at least once every 50 days. This is to prevent people from hogging too many nicknames and then not using them anymore.<br />
<br />
== Someone is using my registered nickname. How can I get it back? ==<br />
If your nickname has not been dropped by NickServ, you can 'force a nickchange' on the the user who is using your nickname illegally by issuing the RECOVER command. This will change the other person's nickname to Chat4All_12345 (where 12345 is a random number). The services will then put a temporary hold on your nickname, so the other person can't quickly change their nickname back to it again. You need to drop this hold with the RELEASE command and then /NICK to it yourself. So, to recap, if your nickname is ''TheRealJohnny'', and your password is ''H3r3sJ0nny'' and someone else is using your nickname, you can to use the following commands:<br />
''/NICKSERV RECOVER TheRealJohnny H3r3sJ0nny''<br />
To recover the nickname. Followed by:<br />
''/NICKSERV RELEASE TheRealJohnny H3r3sJ0nny''<br />
to release the hold the services have on them. Quickly followed by:<br />
''/NICK TheRealJohnny''<br />
to change your nickname to TheRealJohnny. Finally you need to identify for your nickname with:<br />
''/NICKSERV IDENTIFY H3r3sJ0nny''<br />
<br />
It is also possible that you lost your connection. When you get back on the server, you may find that your nick is still in use. The server usually notices this a bit late, resulting in a socalled 'ghost connection'. You can remove your ghost by issuing the GHOST command:<br />
''/NICKSERV GHOST replaceWithTheGhostNickname replaceWithYourNickServPassword''<br />
So, for instance if your ghost connection TheRealJohnny (registered with password ''H3r3sJ0nny'') is still active, you have to use the following commands:<br />
''/NICKSERV GHOST TheRealJohnny H3r3sJ0nny''<br />
to terminate the ghost connection. Followed by:<br />
''/NICK TheRealJohnny''<br />
to change your nickname to TheRealJohnny. Finally you need to identify for your nickname with:<br />
''/NICKSERV IDENTIFY H3r3sJ0nny''<br />
<br />
Note that it is very impolite to GHOST a real other user who is using your nickname. Use the RECOVER command instead then.<br />
<br />
If that did not work, then it is likely that your nickname was dropped because you have not authenticated to NickServ within the set time of 50 days. You can then try to re-register it as soon the person who is using it now quits. If he registered it, then there is nothing else you (or we) can/will do.<br />
<br />
<br />
= Website and Applet questions =<br />
<br />
== Why can your applet be used free of charge? ==<br />
Other applets, such as [http://www.javirc.com www.javirc.com] are usually not free of charge. <br />
Our chatnetwork offers server side access. You can access our network with different kinds of client side software. That software is not created by us, and thus the creator of that software is free to ask money for it. <br />
However there are for example previous versions of javirc available which are less pretty, yet free. On the other hand, we do offer a [http://www.chat4all.net/eng_homepage.html webchat through our site]. Also, free of charge.<br />
<br />
== Why does the applet show 2 more unrelated channels in the dropdown? ==<br />
If you are chatting with us through one of our applets on a website, you might (incorrectly) think that all channels belong to that website. However, the channel that belongs to your website is just one of the many chatrooms that the Chat4All IRC Network hosts, most of them belonging to all sorts of different communities.<br />
<br />
Since some of these chatrooms that belong to websites are usually empty, we also list Chat4All's main channel, #lounge, in the channel dropdown list at the top of the applet, so these people will have an active channel to find to talk in. However, not all community websites make it clear that that channel (and others) does not belong to their website.<br />
<br />
For the same reason we also list our technical (IRC) Support channel #help in that list, so people know where they can ask their (technical/IRC-related) questions. Please note that we cannot help you in #help with questions regarding the game or website you are chatting from.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Do you offer channel and network statistics I can use on my website? ==<br />
You can check [http://statistics.chat4all.net/ our Denora stats] for the entire network and public channels.<br />
<br />
== Can i show a list of online chatters on my website? ==<br />
Yes, we offer a 'who is online' service to website owners. This consists of a small piece of HTML code that can be included on your website to show who is inside your IRC channel. Visit the following URL for more information:<br />
<br />
[http://www.chat4all.org/eng_whoison.html Who Is Online Service]<br />
<br />
== How do I add my chatroom to my website? ==<br />
=== Our webclients ===<br />
At the moment we offer 3 different kinds of chat 'applets'<br />
* [[#Java Applet|Java Applet]] our implementation of JPilot's java applet<br />
* [[#Flash Chat|Flash chat]] our implementation of the LightIRC flash client<br />
* [[#Webchat|Our AJAX webchat]], which uses our fork of qwebirc, based on html, css and AJAX technologies.<br />
<br />
==== Flash Chat ====<br />
This is our main alternative to the old Java applet. Our Flash chat uses the [http://www.lightirc.com/ LightIRC Flash IRC Client] to connect to the Chat4All IRC Network. Flash is more commonly available on modern operating systems than Java, and thus has a higher compatibilty. <br />
You can use our [http://chat.chat4all.net/flashgen.php Flash Chat Code Generator] to generate the HTML code to add this IRC client to your website. This generator might change in the near future though, due to updates to the LightIRC client.<br />
<br />
==== Webchat ====<br />
This is our alternative client, which uses our own fork of the [http://qwebirc.org/ qwebirc project], which is a web-based IRC client that uses HTML, CSS and AJAX techniques to connect you to IRC servers.<br />
The added benefit of this client is that it does not require outgoing IRC ports to be opened on your network, since all your traffic will go through the default HTTP port 80 (or HTTPS port 443 should be open up an HTTPS version of the webchat). <br />
This will allow people to connect to Chat4All from networks that have strict network settings, such as blocking all non-HTTP ports.<br />
<br />
To generate the code for your website, go to [http://webchat.chat4all.net/ the Chat4All Webchat] and click on the icon in the top left corner (the 2 speech balloons) and select the 'Add webchat to your site' option from the popupmenu that should appear.<br />
From there, follow the instructions and configure the appearance and settings of the client. At the end of the wizard, it will give you the HTML sourcecode for the iframe you can place on your website.<br />
<br />
==== Java Applet ====<br />
This Java applet will slowly be phased out as it is no longer being updated, and the Java interface has several issues with modern browsers, such as popups being blocked, or security confirmation requests not being shown.<br />
However, for now you can still generate the HTML code to put it on your website, using the [http://www.chat4all.be/eng_homepage.html Java applet code generator].<br />
We would recommend using the [[#Flash Chat|Flash]] or [[#Webchat|Webchat]] instead though, since they have a higher compatibility with modern browsers.<br />
<br />
=== Third Party Webclients ===<br />
There are also some third party webclients available. Here are some alternatives:<br />
* [https://widgetmanager.mibbit.com/ Mibbit], another AJAX-based webclient that offers widgets for your site, and a web-client and an iPhone app.<br />
* [http://www.wsirc.com/ wsIrc], another AJAX-based webclient. They also offer a [http://wsirc.mobi/ mobile version].<br />
* [http://www.pjirc.com/ PJIRC], another Java applet<br />
<br />
<br />
= Channel related questions =<br />
<br />
== Why is the chatroom empty? ==<br />
If the chatroom belongs to a website, it is possible that the chatroom just isn't that popular yet. It often happens that people join a chatroom, see that no-one is there, and leave again, while perhaps 5 minutes later another user does exactly the same thing.<br />
You could suggest to the founder of the channel/website to organise chatevenings. Have a fixed time on which users of the site can get together to have a live chat. You can also start filling the room by always staying connected and in the room and be have a notification when there is activity in the room. If more people do the same, the room might start filling up quickly.<br />
<br />
== Why is nobody talking? ==<br />
Don't panic, you aren't being ignored, not everyone watches their screen at all times. Some even leave their computers on whilst away.<br />
Give it 10-20 minutes or so and somebody will usually respond; otherwise perhaps try again at another time. Highlighting someone's nickname once, might also get some attention. (However, don't overdo this, because some people might not like being highlighted repeatedly).<br />
<br />
== How can I add an operator to my channel? ==<br />
Please read our [[XOP|ChanServ xOP article]] and the [[XOP#How_to_add|How to Add section]] in particular.<br />
<br />
== Why am I not getting an @ in my channel? ==<br />
<br />
=== Why is there an ~ sign instead of an @ in front of my name? ===<br />
If you are getting an ~ sign in front of your name, it means you are recognised as the Founder of the channel instead. This is a higher rank than a regular operator (@). You still have all the powers that you would have as an Operator (@).<br />
In addition to this, you have other rights, such as changing the AOP list.<br />
You can read some more about the Founder status on [http://www.chat4all.net/manual/manual-chan_eng.html#REGISTER our ChanServ#Register manual page].<br />
<br />
You can also, in chat, do:<br />
/CHANSERV HELP<br />
to get a list of the commands available to you through ChanServ as founder.<br />
<br />
The full list of the signs that can appear before a user's nickname is as follows:<br />
~ Founder of the Channel<br />
& User with +a (Admin/SOP) status<br />
@ Regular Operator <br />
% Half-Operator<br />
+ Voiced user<br />
<br />
=== ChanServ doesn't recognise me on my channel ===<br />
If ChanServ doesn't recognise you at all on your channel (you are not getting Voiced/VOP (+), Operator/AOP (@), SOP (%) or Founder (~) status) even though you are certain you have registered your nickname, and are on the channel's ACCESS list (or registered the channel), then you might have [[Identify|forgotten to identify for your nickname]]. Please identify for your nickname with:<br />
''/NICKSERV IDENTIFY replaceWithYourPassword''<br />
<br />
If you still don't get the appropriate access rights, and the channel is registered (the channel's modes should include +r), then contact an IRC Staff member in our support room, or open a support ticket on our [http://support.chat4all.net support portal].<br />
<br />
== Why is my chatroom no longer registered? ==<br />
A Channel registration can be (automatically) dropped for several reasons:<br />
<br />
'''The nickname of the owner expired'''<br />
ChanServ requires that a channel at all times has a Founder.<br />
Therefor, should the NickServ registration of the Founder be dropped (for instance because [[Identify|they haven't identified for their nickname]] within the past 50 days, or because they manually dropped their nickname), ChanServ will check if a Successor has been set for the channel. If there is no Successor set (or the nickname of the Successor is no longer registered either), then the channel will also automatically be dropped/unregistered.<br />
<br />
'''The Founder/Owner hasn't entered their channel, nor used ChanServ IDENTIFY, in the past 50 days.'''<br />
To prevent channels from being unmanaged, a channel needs to be kept active by its founder. The Founder needs to visit their channel at least once every 50 days while [[Identify|being identified]] for the Founder nickname, or use the ''/CHANSERV IDENTIFY'' command to identify as founder of the channel. If the founder does not show this kind of activity, the channel will automatically transfer Founder-status to the Successor. If no successor with a registered nickname is set, then the ChanServ registration will automatically be dropped.<br />
<br />
'''The Founder used the DROP command'''<br />
A channel can be manually unregistered/dropped with the ChanServ DROP command. If you want to drop your channel registration, make sure you are identified for your Founder nickname, and issue:<br />
''/CHANSERV DROP #replaceWithYourChannelname''<br />
<br />
In rare situations your channel might have been dropped by the Chat4All Network staff due to abuse. However, you probably would have been notified already in that situation.<br />
<br />
If you are certain your channel was registered and now it isn't anymore, and you still don't know why your channel is no longer registered, then please contact a Services Operator in our support channel, or by opening a support ticket on our [http://support.chat4all.net support portal]<br />
<br />
== How can I have ChanServ auto-voice everyone on my channel? ==<br />
If you are using the ACCESS LEVELS system instead of the xOP systeem, then you can have your chatters be autovoiced by:<br />
* setting the SECURE option to OFF:<br />
''/CHANSERV SET #replaceWithYourChannelname SECURE OFF''<br />
* and setting the AUTOVOICE level to 0 or -1:<br />
''/CHANSERV LEVELS #replaceWithYourChannelname SET AUTOVOICE -1''<br />
<br />
== How many chatrooms may I register on chat4all? ==<br />
A NickServ registration may register up to 10 chatrooms. This should be more than enough for most people.<br />
<br />
== How many chatrooms may I join on chat4all? ==<br />
You can be in a maximum of 15 channels per connection. This should be more than enough for most people.<br />
<br />
== How do I get a bot on my channel? ==<br />
Chat4All only offers ChanServ/BotServ aliases. We have a Wiki article that explains [[Bot#Request_a_Bot|how to request a BotServ Bot]].<br />
We do not offer bots with custom features though. Should you need one, you need to run it yourself on your own internet connection, and make sure the bot is using usermode +B to identify it is a user bot.<br />
Please note that your bot needs to offer a service to your users. We do not condone fake bots just to increase your channel's usercount.<br />
Also, we do not allow bots that have a malicious purpose, such as (D)DoS'ing hosts, spreading credit card information or other malicious/illegal purposes.<br />
<br />
== Can I get a game/statistics bot inside my chatroom? ==<br />
You are (as room owner) allowed to have 1 bot (outside chanserv) inside your chatroom. This may of course be a game/statistics bot, and it may be using different software. However, this is not software supplied by us. We suggest searching the internet for software like eggdrop, or scripts that can compliment a mIRC installation.<br />
<br />
== Can I change another user's nickname? ==<br />
No, you can't. Nicknames are network-wide and not limited to a channel. Which means that should you as operator be able to change a user's nickname, the user's nickname would change in other channels too. Obviously this is undesired behaviour and as such the IRC protocol doesn't support it.<br />
<br />
All you can do is ban a specific nickname from your channel with '''/mode #yourchannel +b BannedNickname!*@*''' so the user can't talk on your channel unless they change their nickname.<br />
<br />
Or you can ask them to change their nickname with '''/nick ReplaceWithTheirNewNickname'''</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=MLock&diff=2864MLock2012-09-19T14:35:37Z<p>FiXato: /* About locking channelmode +k (channelkey) */ Exanded +k explanation with an example that retains the default mlock modes.</p>

Where ''modes'' needs to be replaced with the modes you want to permanently enable/disable. For instance the modes +ntS-lips<br /><br />

* the channel can never be set to secret (channelmode s) or private (channelmode p)<br />
* the invite-only mode can never be applied (channelmode i)<br />
* the channelkey 'milkAndCookies' is always set (channelmode k)<br />

/CHANSERV SET #coffeecorner MLOCK -spi+ntk milkAndCookies<br />
<br />
= Explanation of plus and minus =<br />
With a plus-sign (+) ''in front'' of the modes, you indicate that the modes always need to be ''active'' (and thus can't be disabled without changing the MLock).<br /><br />
With a minus-sign (-) ''in front'' of the modes, you will get the opposite result: when set with MLock, you prevent those modes from being set with ''/mode'' till you've changed the MLock again. For instance it prevents a random operator from (accidentally) setting your channel invite-only.<br />
<br />

To remove this MLock, you have to use the same command, without adding modes:<br />
/CHANSERV SET #coffeecorner MLOCK +<br />

= About locking channelmode +k (channelkey) = <br />
Please note that even though setting a channelmode +k in ChanServ MLock will always set the channelkey once the channel gets created, it doesn't prevent the first person from entering that channel without a key.<br />
<br />
If the channel is empty, the channel key is not needed to enter, since the channel effectively doesn't exist at that point and thus has no key mode set. This can be worked around by requesting Network Staff to add the ChannelKeeper bot to your channel to keep the channel open just for this situation.<br />
<br />
Also, note that if you want to *add* +k to your MLOCKed modes, that you shouldn't forget to include the existing MLOCKed modes.<br />
In case of the default MLOCK modes +nt this would be:<br />
/CHANSERV SET #coffeecorner MLOCK +ntk milkandsugar<br />
This would set the channelkey for channel #coffeecorner to be 'milkandsugar', while also retaining the default modes +n (block external messages) and +t (topic only settable by operators).</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=MLock&diff=2863MLock2012-09-19T14:31:41Z<p>FiXato: /* Remove an MLock */ added back missing +t to the default MLOCK</p>

<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
Placeholder page for instructions on how to auto-identify in several IRC clients<br />
<br />
= Using the server password =<br />
This only will auto-identify you upon connect if you are connecting with your registered nickname.<br />
For this to work, you need to specify your nickserv password as the 'server password'. '''Note that while this works for Chat4All, other IRC networks might not support this feature.'''<br />
In most IRC clients you can set this in your server/network connection settings. Or if you connect using a manual command such as ''/SERVER'', you can specify it at the end as last argument, for instance:<br />
<br />
== mIRC ==<br />
''/SERVER irc.chat4all.org:+7001 YourNickservPassword''<br />
<br />
== weechat ==<br />
to add as a permanent network:<br />
''/server add chat4all irc.chat4all.org/7001 -ssl -autoconnect -password=YourNickservPassword''<br />
to connect as a temporary server:<br />
''/connect irc.chat4all.org/7001 -ssl -password=YourNickservPassword''<br />
<br />
= Using scripting =<br />
== mIRC Perform ==<br />
To reach the perform buffer, go to the ''Tools'' Menu > ''Options'', then locate ''Connect'' > ''Options'' in the left ''tree menu''. <br />
Clicking on the ''Perform...'' button brings up another window, where you should first make sure ''"Enable perform on connect"'' is checked. Once it is, hit the ''Add'' button.<br />
If you have assigned a network name (for instance ''Chat4All'') to the Chat4All server(s) in the Server-list, then find ''Chat4All'' in the list and hit the ''OK'' button.<br />
With ''Chat4all'' selected in the ''Network'' dropdown, put:<br />
''/NICKSERV IDENTIFY replaceWithYourPassword''<br />
in the perform commands. Keep pressing the ''OK'' buttons to leave/confirm everything and reconnect. You will see that you have been automatically identified.<br />
<br />
A graphical representation of the above:<br />
<br />
[[File:MIRC-Perform.png]]<br />
<br />
== mIRC Remotes Script ==<br />
Open the Scripts Editor via Tools > Scripts Editor (or just hit Alt-R), and in the Remotes tab insert this code:<br />
on *:CONNECT: {<br />
if ($network == CHAT4ALL) {<br />
/nickserv IDENTIFY yourpassword<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
Reconnect to verify you have indeed been automatically identified.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=IRC-Client&diff=2854IRC-Client2012-07-23T12:18:51Z<p>FiXato: /* Colloquy Mobile */</p>

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
== What is a bot ==<br />
A bot is a standalone client or script for an existing client or any other form of software, which has the purpose to automate certain tasks or provide special functions in for instance an IRC Chatroom.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
=== What is BotServ ===<br />
On the Chat4All network we run a service called BotServ, which is part of the Anope Services package.<br />
<br />
BotServ provides us with customised ChanServ aliases which contain some extra shortcuts to the most commonly used ChanServ commands, such as voicing, opping, kicking, banning, managing the accesslist and xOP list and some more commands.<br />
=== BotServ Features ===<br />
The bot appears as another user in the room as soon as there are 2 or more persons in the room and most of its details (''Nickname, Ident, [[Vhost]] and Real name'') are customisable when the bot is requested.<br />
<br />
Through the Symbiosis-feature, all actions normally done by ChanServ, such as banning or voicing, will be done by your bot. <br />
With the BotServ's SAY and ACT commands, AOP's and higher can also make the bot 'speak' or 'act' ''(similar to a /me action)'' in the room.<br />
<br />
'''To be clear: our BotServ bots ''do <u>not</u> have !trivia, !quote, !uno, !start or other similar (game) commands built-in!'''''<br /><br />
You need to search and run a bot of your own for this. We can't help you set one up for you. Useful search terms are: ''eggdrop'', ''windrop'', ''mIRC bot'', ''ruby cinch bot'', or ''ruby rbot''.<br />
<br />
=== Expectations ===<br />
'''What can you expect of a BotServ bot?'''<br />
<br />
* '''Keyword definitions through [[ZBot]].''' <br />
We have also installed the ZBot module. If ZBot is enabled by the channel's Founder for the channel, then it allows the channel's AOP's and higher, to teach the bot keywords and their meanings through the '''!learn''' command. <br />
This allows everyone to use the '''? keyword''' command to request the assigned definition of the keyword.<br />
For more info about ZBot, either use the:<br />
'''''/helpop zbot'''''<br />
irc-command while connected to our network; issue '''''!zhelp''''' on your channel while your BotServ bot is there (and ZBot is enabled), or ''read our [[ZBot|ZBot wiki page]]'' for more in-depth information about ZBot.<br />
<br />
* '''Fantasy commands.''' These are actually just simplified forms of several ChanServ and BotServ commands such as !kick, !ban, !kb and !akick. For an overview of all fantasy commands, type the following command in your channel (when your BotServ Bot is in the room):<br />
'''''!help'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Automatic kicks and bans''' based on the use of specific words (see ''/BOTSERV HELP BADWORDS''), excessive caps-, bold- or other formatting abuse or repeated text. For more details, read the text given by the services when using the commands:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP'''''<br />
and for instance:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP KICK'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Saying messages or /me actions through the bot.''' You can use the '''/BOTSERV SAY''' and '''/BOTSERV ACT''' commands to make the bot say or 'do' things.<br /><br />
For more information about this feature, use:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP SAY'''''<br />
and<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP ACT'''''<br />
<br />
=== ZBot feature ===<br />
We have also installed the ZBot module. If ZBot is enabled by the channel's Founder for the channel, then it allows the channel's AOP's and higher, to learn the bot keywords and their meanings through the !learn command. <br />
Then everyone can use the '''? keyword''' command to request the assigned meaning of the keyword.<br />
For more info about ZBot, please type the '''/helpop zbot''' irc-command while connected to our network. A wiki-page on ZBot will be created soon.<br />
<br />
== Request a Bot ==<br />
There are two options to have a bot inside your '''''registered''''' chatroom:<br />
<br />
=== Readymade Bot ===<br />
'''You can choose a bot from the list that will be generated with the below command.'''<br /><br />
These bots are either created by us, or other users. The name of these bots cannot be changed. <br />
To see which readymade bots currently are available, you can type '''''(include the /)'''''<br />
<br />
'''''/msg BotServ BOTLIST'''''<br />
<br />
You will be presented with a list like:<br />
<br />
'''BotServ:''' Bot list:<br />
'''BotServ:''' SpongeBob (Nickelodeon@Krusty.Krab)<br />
'''BotServ:''' Aladdin (Wonderlamp@chat4all.org)<br />
'''BotServ:''' Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)<br />
<br />
Once you've found yourself a botconfiguration you'd like in your room, type:<br />
'''''/msg botserv ASSIGN <font style="color: blue;">#Channel</font> <font style="color: red;">BotNick</font>'''''<br />
Where ''<font style="color: blue;">#Channel</font>'' is the name of your '''registered''' channel, and '' <font style="color: red;">BotNick</font>'' is the name of the bot from the BotList you requested earlier.<br />
<br />
=== Custommade Bot ===<br />
'''You can choose a customised bot with your own chosen (nick)name, ident and [[Vhost]].''' <br /><br />
This name may not be a registered username (this will be checked by us before we create the bot). <br /><br />
You can check this first by changing your name to the name you want the bot to have. If you receive the message that it is a registered name, then you will have to find a new name.<br />
<br />
=== Bot Information ===<br />
To create a custom bot, we will need some information from you:<br />
<br />
*a. a '''nickname''' (The name for your bot)<br />
*b. an '''ident/username''' (which is seen when you do a /whois)<br />
*c. a '''hostname''' (like a vhost e.g.: i.am.a.bot)<br />
*d. a '''Realname/Gecos''' (also seen when you do a /whois -- For instance ''I am a bot'' or ''You are not me'' or ''John Smith'')<br />
*e. the '''name''' of the ''registered'' '''room''' the bot needs to be assigned to<br />
*f. your ''registered'' '''nickname'''<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
A typical bot can look like the following example:<br />
'''Shrek!Ogre@Far.Far.Away)'''<br />
- Nick: Shrek<br />
- Ident: Ogre<br />
- [[Vhost]]: Far.Far.Away<br />
- Real name: I have layers!<br />
All info above does not have to exist and may be fake (we even prefer fake info due to possible legal trademark issues).<br />
Please note that the Vhost may only be a registered domain if you own that domain. Also the ident may contain no special characters other than a dot and may be no longer than 9 characters.<br />
<br />
=== Details ===<br />
The bot itself will only appear when there are at least 2 users in your chatroom. As soon as only one user is left, the bot will go away and will re-appear when another user enters the room.<br />
<br />
When you pick a bot with a self chosen name, then you can have it made '''''"PRIVATE"''''' by us. If you do not have it set to private, then the bot will appear in the bot listing so that other users can have your bot in their room as well.<br />
<br />
All bots are configurable to your own liking. For more info on how to do this, type the following command while connected to our server:<br />

= Wat is een bot =<br />
Een bot is een losstaande client, een script voor een bestaande client, of enig andere vorm van software met het doel bepaalde taken te automatiseren, of speciale functies aan te bieden in bijvoorbeeld een IRC chatkamer.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Een voorbeeld van een IRC bot is BotServ.<br />
Op het Chat4All netwerk draaien we deze service, welke onderdeel is van het Anope IRC services pakket.<br />
<br />
BotServ levert ons aanpasbare ChanServ aliasen, met een aantal extra functionaliteiten. Een voorbeeld hiervan zijn 'fantasy' tekst commando's die je makkelijk in het kanaal kan gebruiken om iemand te voicen (''!voice gebruikersnaam''), kickbannen (''!kb gebruikersnaam''), toegangs- en xOP-lijst aan te passen en nog meer handige commando's.<br />
Ook biedt BotServ ondersteuning voor een aantal automatische 'kickers' op bijvoorbeeld overvloedig HOOFDLETTERS gebruik, flooden en kick op zelf-instelbare woorden.<br />
<br />
'''Voor alle duidelijkheid: onze BotServ bots hebben ''geen !trivia, !quote, !uno, !start of andere soortgelijke spelletjes commando's ingebouwd!'''''<br /><br />
Hiervoor zul je zelf een bot moeten zoeken en draaien. Handig zoektermen zijn: ''eggdrop'', ''windrop'', ''mIRC bot'', ''ruby cinch bot'', of ''ruby rbot''.<br />
<br />
=== Verwachtingen ===<br />
'''Wat kan je wel verwachten?'''<br />
<br />
* '''Sleutelwoord definities via [[NL/ZBot|ZBot]].''' <br />
We hebben namelijk ook de ZBot module geinstalleerd. Wanneer ZBot door de oprichter/founder van het kanaal is geactiveerd, dan kunnen (standaard) de AOPs en hoger van de kamer de bot sleutelwoorden aanleren. Via het ''!learn'' commando kan een operator the bot vertellen wat een bepaald sleutelwoord betekent.<br />
Voor meer details, lees de [[NL/ZBot|ZBot pagina]] of tik het '''''!zhelp''''' commando in je kamer wanneer je BotServ bot er is. Of lees de tekst van het commando:<br />
'''''/helpop zbot_nl'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Fantasy commando's.''' Dit zijn eigenlijk versimpelde vormen van diverse ChanServ commando's zoals !kick, !ban, !kb. Voor een overzicht van alle fantasy commando's, tik het volgende in je kamer wanneer de bot aanwezig is:<br />
'''''!help'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Automatische kicks en bans''' op basis van bepaalde woorden, hoofdletter-gebruik, of overvloedig gebruik van dikgedrukt of onderlijnde tekst. Voor meer informatie hierover, lees de tekst die je krijgt na het gebruiken van het volgende commando:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP'''''<br />
en bijvoorbeeld:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP KICK'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Berichten of ''/me'' acties via de bot.''' AOPs en hoger kunnen standaard de '''/BOTSERV SAY''' en '''/BOTSERV ACT''' commando's gebruiken om de bot dingen te laten zeggen of 'doen'.<br /><br />
Voor meer informatie over deze commando's, lees wat de services sturen via:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP SAY'''''<br />
en<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP ACT'''''<br />
<br />
=== BotServ Eigenschappen ===<br />
De bot verschijnt pas als een gebruiker in de kamer zodra er 2 of meer personen in de kamer zijn. De meeste van zijn kenmerken (''nickname, [[NL/IdentD|ident]], [[Vhost]] en 'GeCOS'/'volledige naam' '') zijn instelbaar wanneer de bot aangevraagd wordt.<br />
<br />
Door de zogenaamde 'Symbiosis'-eigenschap zullen alle acties die normaal door ChanServ gedaan werden (zoals bannen, voicen, op-rechten geven, etc), vervolgens gedaan worden door je BotServ bot.<br />
<br />
Via de BotServ SAY en ACT commando's kunnen AOPs en hoger de bot ook laten 'spreken' of 'acties' (zelfde als /me actie) laten uitvoeren in de kamer.<br />
<br />
== Aanvragen van een Bot ==<br />
Er zijn twee mogelijkheden om een botje op naam in je geregistreerde kamer te krijgen:<br />
<br />
1. Je kiest uit het lijstje een al bestaande bot. Deze botjes zijn door andere gebruikers of door ons gemaakt en hun naam kun je niet wijzigen.<br />
Om te zien welke bestaande botjes op het moment beschikbaar zijn typ je:<br />
<br />
'''''/BOTSERV BOTLIST'''''<br />
<br />
Je ziet dan een lijstje met o.a.<br />
<br />
''BotServ: Bot list:''<br />
''BotServ: SpongeBob (Nickelodeon@Krusty.Krab)''<br />
''BotServ: Aladdin (Wonderlamp@chat4all.org)''<br />
''BotServ: Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)''<br />
<br />
het toevoegen aan je kamer doe je vervolgens met:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV ASSIGN <font style="color: blue;">#kanaal</font> <font style="color: red;">Botnick</font>'''''<br />
<br />
waarbij je ''<div style="display: inline;color: red;">Botnick</div>'' vervangt met nickname van de bot die je in de botlijst hebt gevonden, en ''<div style="display: inline;color: blue;">#kanaal</div>'' vervangt met de naam van je eigen kanaal.<br />
<br />
2. Je kiest zelf een naam voor je bot. (Deze naam mag niet een geregistreerde nickname van een gebruiker zijn, dit wordt door ons gecontroleerd. Probeer eerst even zelf de nickname van je bot aan te nemen en kijk of je een melding krijgt dat die naam al geregistreerd is.)<br />
<br />
Hiervoor heb ik een paar door jou verzonnen namen nodig en wel:<br />
a. een nickname (de naam van de bot)<br />
b. een ident/user naam (op te vragen met /whois botnaam)<br />
c. een host naam (net als een vhost, bijvoorbeeld: ik.ben.een.bot)<br />
d. een 'echte naam'/Gecos (alleen zichtbaar wanneer je een /whois op de bot naam doet. Bijvoorbeeld 'Ik ben een bot')<br />
e. de naam van de geregistreerde kamer waar de bot aanwezig zal zijn<br />
f. jouw geregistreerde nicknaam<br />
<br />
Wat vul je dan in? Als voorbeeld nemen we 'Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)'<br />
- a. nick: Shrek<br />
- b. ident: Ogre<br />
- c. host: Far.Far.Away<br />
- d. en de real name/echte naam is: I have layers!<br />
- e. Chatkamer: #mijnkamer<br />
- f. Mijn nicknaam: Ikke<br />
<br />
Je mag dus al deze namen zelf bedenken.<br /><br />
Het botje zelf verschijnt pas in je kamer zodra er '''2 gebruikers of meer''' in je kamer aanwezig zijn. Wanneer je alleen overblijft gaat het botje weg en komt pas terug als er weer iemand bijkomt.<br />
<br />
Als je een botje met zelf gekozen namen neemt, kun je het door ons PRIVATE (privé) laten zetten. Doe je dat niet dan verschijnt het in de botlist (te zien via '''/msg botserv BOTLIST''') en kunnen ook andere gebruikers dit botje aan hun kamer laten verbinden.<br />
<br />
Voor alle botjes geldt hetzelfde, je kunt ze naar eigen wens configureren, typ /msg botserv help.<br />
<br />
Als je besloten hebt dat je een botje wil, laat ons dan even weten onder welke naam/namen en vermeld dan tevens in welke (geregistreerde) kamer je dit botje wil hebben.<br />
<br />
=== Aanvraagformulier ===<br />
Even samenvattend, wat we willen weten is dus:<br />
{|<br />
|---- bgcolor=#CCCCCC<br />
|'''''a.'' Nickname van Bot:'''<br />

We zullen we je verzoek zo spoedig mogelijk behandelen.<br />
Zodra de aanvraag is verwerkt en de bot is aangemaakt, zal je bevestiging hiervan op je ticket krijgen.<br />
In het geval dat de opgegeven informatie onvoldoende of incorrect is, zal een staff-lid contact met je opnemen via updates op het ticket.<br />
<br />

|Dit dient de nickname te zijn waarmee je de desbetreffende kamer hebt geregistreerd.<br />
|---- bgcolor=#CCCCCC<br />
|'''''f.'' Prive?'''<br />
|Is het alleen toegestaan om de bot voor jouw kamer te gebruiken '''(ja)''' of is hij publiekelijk opvraagbaar in de botlist en dus door ''iedereen'' te gebruiken '''(nee)'''.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= BELANGRIJK =<br />
<div style="color: #FF0000;font-weight: bold;text-align:center;">In het verleden hebben we van gebruikers ook hun wachtwoord, of het wachtwoord van hun kanaal gekregen aangezien zij dachten dat wij dit nodig hadden.<br />
Echter, we hebben dit niet nodig en een staff-lid zal ''nooit'' je om het wachtwoord vragen van je gebruikersnaam of kamer!<br />
Houdt je wachtwoord informatie voor jezelf en rapporteer iedereen aan ons die zegt staff-lid te zijn en hierom zou vragen. <br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
== What is a bot ==<br />
A bot is a standalone client or script for an existing client or any other form of software, which has the purpose to automate certain tasks or provide special functions in for instance an IRC Chatroom.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
=== What is BotServ ===<br />
On the Chat4All network we run a service called BotServ, which is part of the Anope Services package.<br />
<br />
BotServ provides us with customised ChanServ aliases which contain some extra shortcuts to the most commonly used ChanServ commands, such as voicing, opping, kicking, banning, managing the accesslist and xOP list and some more commands.<br />
=== BotServ Features ===<br />
The bot appears as another user in the room as soon as there are 2 or more persons in the room and most of its details (''Nickname, Ident, [[Vhost]] and Real name'') are customisable when the bot is requested.<br />
<br />
Through the Symbiosis-feature, all actions normally done by ChanServ, such as banning or voicing, will be done by your bot. <br />
With the BotServ's SAY and ACT commands, AOP's and higher can also make the bot 'speak' or 'act' ''(similar to a /me action)'' in the room.<br />
<br />
=== Expectations ===<br />
'''What can you expect of a BotServ bot?'''<br />
<br />
* '''Keyword definitions through [[ZBot]].''' <br />
We have also installed the ZBot module. If ZBot is enabled by the channel's Founder for the channel, then it allows the channel's AOP's and higher, to teach the bot keywords and their meanings through the '''!learn''' command. <br />
This allows everyone to use the '''? keyword''' command to request the assigned definition of the keyword.<br />
For more info about ZBot, either use the:<br />
'''''/helpop zbot'''''<br />
irc-command while connected to our network; issue '''''!zhelp''''' on your channel while your BotServ bot is there (and ZBot is enabled), or ''read our [[ZBot|ZBot wiki page]]'' for more in-depth information about ZBot.<br />
<br />
* '''Fantasy commands.''' These are actually just simplified forms of several ChanServ and BotServ commands such as !kick, !ban, !kb and !akick. For an overview of all fantasy commands, type the following command in your channel (when your BotServ Bot is in the room):<br />
'''''!help'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Automatic kicks and bans''' based on the use of specific words (see ''/BOTSERV HELP BADWORDS''), excessive caps-, bold- or other formatting abuse or repeated text. For more details, read the text given by the services when using the commands:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP'''''<br />
and for instance:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP KICK'''''<br />
<br />
* '''Saying messages or /me actions through the bot.''' You can use the '''/BOTSERV SAY''' and '''/BOTSERV ACT''' commands to make the bot say or 'do' things.<br /><br />
For more information about this feature, use:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP SAY'''''<br />
and<br />
'''''/BOTSERV HELP ACT'''''<br />
<br />
=== ZBot feature ===<br />
We have also installed the ZBot module. If ZBot is enabled by the channel's Founder for the channel, then it allows the channel's AOP's and higher, to learn the bot keywords and their meanings through the !learn command. <br />
Then everyone can use the '''? keyword''' command to request the assigned meaning of the keyword.<br />
For more info about ZBot, please type the '''/helpop zbot''' irc-command while connected to our network. A wiki-page on ZBot will be created soon.<br />
<br />
== Request a Bot ==<br />
There are two options to have a bot inside your '''''registered''''' chatroom:<br />
<br />
=== Readymade Bot ===<br />
'''You can choose a bot from the list that will be generated with the below command.'''<br /><br />
These bots are either created by us, or other users. The name of these bots cannot be changed. <br />
To see which readymade bots currently are available, you can type '''''(include the /)'''''<br />
<br />
'''''/msg BotServ BOTLIST'''''<br />
<br />
You will be presented with a list like:<br />
<br />
'''BotServ:''' Bot list:<br />
'''BotServ:''' SpongeBob (Nickelodeon@Krusty.Krab)<br />
'''BotServ:''' Aladdin (Wonderlamp@chat4all.org)<br />
'''BotServ:''' Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)<br />
<br />
Once you've found yourself a botconfiguration you'd like in your room, type:<br />
'''''/msg botserv ASSIGN <font style="color: blue;">#Channel</font> <font style="color: red;">BotNick</font>'''''<br />
Where ''<font style="color: blue;">#Channel</font>'' is the name of your '''registered''' channel, and '' <font style="color: red;">BotNick</font>'' is the name of the bot from the BotList you requested earlier.<br />
<br />
=== Custommade Bot ===<br />
'''You can choose a customised bot with your own chosen (nick)name, ident and [[Vhost]].''' <br /><br />
This name may not be a registered username (this will be checked by us before we create the bot). <br /><br />
You can check this first by changing your name to the name you want the bot to have. If you receive the message that it is a registered name, then you will have to find a new name.<br />
<br />
=== Bot Information ===<br />
To create a custom bot, we will need some information from you:<br />
<br />
*a. a '''nickname''' (The name for your bot)<br />
*b. an '''ident/username''' (which is seen when you do a /whois)<br />
*c. a '''hostname''' (like a vhost e.g.: i.am.a.bot)<br />
*d. a '''Realname/Gecos''' (also seen when you do a /whois -- For instance ''I am a bot'' or ''You are not me'' or ''John Smith'')<br />
*e. the '''name''' of the ''registered'' '''room''' the bot needs to be assigned to<br />
*f. your ''registered'' '''nickname'''<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
A typical bot can look like the following example:<br />
'''Shrek!Ogre@Far.Far.Away)'''<br />
- Nick: Shrek<br />
- Ident: Ogre<br />
- [[Vhost]]: Far.Far.Away<br />
- Real name: I have layers!<br />
All info above does not have to exist and may be fake (we even prefer fake info due to possible legal trademark issues).<br />
Please note that the Vhost may only be a registered domain if you own that domain. Also the ident may contain no special characters other than a dot and may be no longer than 9 characters.<br />
<br />
=== Details ===<br />
The bot itself will only appear when there are at least 2 users in your chatroom. As soon as only one user is left, the bot will go away and will re-appear when another user enters the room.<br />
<br />
When you pick a bot with a self chosen name, then you can have it made '''''"PRIVATE"''''' by us. If you do not have it set to private, then the bot will appear in the bot listing so that other users can have your bot in their room as well.<br />
<br />
All bots are configurable to your own liking. For more info on how to do this, type the following command while connected to our server:<br />

* Ondersteuning voor automatische kicks en bans op basis van bepaalde woorden, hoofdletter-gebruik, of overvloedig gebruik van dikgedrukt of onderlijnde tekst. Voor meer informatie hierover, lees de tekst die je krijgt na het gebruiken van het volgende commando:<br />
'''''/botserv help'''''<br />

'''''/botserv help kick'''''<br />
<br />
=== BotServ Eigenschappen ===<br />
De bot verschijnt pas als een gebruiker in de kamer zodra er 2 of meer personen in de kamer zijn. De meeste van zijn kenmerken (''nickname, [[NL/IdentD|ident]], [[Vhost]] en 'GeCOS'/'volledige naam' '') zijn instelbaar wanneer de bot aangevraagd wordt.<br />
<br />
Door de zogenaamde 'Symbiosis'-eigenschap zullen alle acties die normaal door ChanServ gedaan werden (zoals bannen, voicen, op-rechten geven, etc), vervolgens gedaan worden door je BotServ bot.<br />
<br />
Via de BotServ SAY en ACT commando's kunnen AOPs en hoger de bot ook laten 'spreken' of 'acties' (zelfde als /me actie) laten uitvoeren in de kamer.<br />
<br />
== Aanvragen van een Bot ==<br />
Er zijn twee mogelijkheden om een botje op naam in je geregistreerde kamer te krijgen:<br />
<br />
1. Je kiest uit het lijstje een al bestaande bot. Deze botjes zijn door andere gebruikers of door ons gemaakt en hun naam kun je niet wijzigen.<br />
Om te zien welke bestaande botjes op het moment beschikbaar zijn typ je:<br />
<br />
'''''/BOTSERV BOTLIST'''''<br />
<br />
Je ziet dan een lijstje met o.a.<br />
<br />
''BotServ: Bot list:''<br />
''BotServ: SpongeBob (Nickelodeon@Krusty.Krab)''<br />
''BotServ: Aladdin (Wonderlamp@chat4all.org)''<br />
''BotServ: Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)''<br />
<br />
het toevoegen aan je kamer doe je vervolgens met:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV ASSIGN <font style="color: blue;">#kanaal</font> <font style="color: red;">Botnick</font>'''''<br />
<br />
waarbij je ''<div style="display: inline;color: red;">Botnick</div>'' vervangt met nickname van de bot die je in de botlijst hebt gevonden, en ''<div style="display: inline;color: blue;">#kanaal</div>'' vervangt met de naam van je eigen kanaal.<br />
<br />
2. Je kiest zelf een naam voor je bot. (Deze naam mag niet een geregistreerde nickname van een gebruiker zijn, dit wordt door ons gecontroleerd. Probeer eerst even zelf de nickname van je bot aan te nemen en kijk of je een melding krijgt dat die naam al geregistreerd is.)<br />
<br />
Hiervoor heb ik een paar door jou verzonnen namen nodig en wel:<br />
a. een nickname (de naam van de bot)<br />
b. een ident/user naam (op te vragen met /whois botnaam)<br />
c. een host naam (net als een vhost, bijvoorbeeld: ik.ben.een.bot)<br />
d. een 'echte naam'/Gecos (alleen zichtbaar wanneer je een /whois op de bot naam doet. Bijvoorbeeld 'Ik ben een bot')<br />
e. de naam van de geregistreerde kamer waar de bot aanwezig zal zijn<br />
f. jouw geregistreerde nicknaam<br />
<br />
Wat vul je dan in? Als voorbeeld nemen we 'Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)'<br />
- a. nick: Shrek<br />
- b. ident: Ogre<br />
- c. host: Far.Far.Away<br />
- d. en de real name/echte naam is: I have layers!<br />
- e. Chatkamer: #mijnkamer<br />
- f. Mijn nicknaam: Ikke<br />
<br />
Je mag dus al deze namen zelf bedenken.<br /><br />
Het botje zelf verschijnt pas in je kamer zodra er '''2 gebruikers of meer''' in je kamer aanwezig zijn. Wanneer je alleen overblijft gaat het botje weg en komt pas terug als er weer iemand bijkomt.<br />
<br />
Als je een botje met zelf gekozen namen neemt, kun je het door ons PRIVATE (privé) laten zetten. Doe je dat niet dan verschijnt het in de botlist (te zien via '''/msg botserv BOTLIST''') en kunnen ook andere gebruikers dit botje aan hun kamer laten verbinden.<br />
<br />
Voor alle botjes geldt hetzelfde, je kunt ze naar eigen wens configureren, typ /msg botserv help.<br />
<br />
Als je besloten hebt dat je een botje wil, laat ons dan even weten onder welke naam/namen en vermeld dan tevens in welke (geregistreerde) kamer je dit botje wil hebben.<br />

= Wat is een bot =<br />
Een bot is een losstaande client, een script voor een bestaande client, of enig andere vorm van software met het doel bepaalde taken te automatiseren, of speciale functies aan te bieden in bijvoorbeeld een IRC chatkamer.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Een voorbeeld van een IRC bot is BotServ.<br />
Op het Chat4All netwerk draaien we deze service, welke onderdeel is van het Anope IRC services pakket.<br />
<br />
BotServ levert ons aanpasbare ChanServ aliasen, met een aantal extra functionaliteiten. Een voorbeeld hiervan zijn 'fantasy' tekst commando's die je makkelijk in het kanaal kan gebruiken om iemand te voicen (''!voice gebruikersnaam''), kickbannen (''!kb gebruikersnaam''), toegangs- en xOP-lijst aan te passen en nog meer handige commando's.<br />
Ook biedt BotServ ondersteuning voor een aantal automatische 'kickers' op bijvoorbeeld overvloedig HOOFDLETTERS gebruik, flooden en kick op zelf-instelbare woorden.<br />
<br />
'''Voor alle duidelijkheid: onze BotServ bots hebben ''geen !trivia, !quote, !uno, !start of andere soortgelijke spelletjes commando's ingebouwd!'''''<br /><br />
Hiervoor zul je zelf een bot moeten zoeken en draaien. Handig zoektermen zijn: ''eggdrop'', ''windrop'', ''mIRC bot'', ''ruby cinch bot'', of ''ruby rbot''.<br />
<br />
'''Wat kan je wel verwachten?'''<br />
<br />
* Sleutelwoord definities via [[#ZBot]]; voor mee info, zie hieronder en het '''!zhelp''' commando in je kamer als je BotServ bot er is. Lees tevens de tekst van het commando:<br />
'''''/helpop zbot_nl'''''<br />
of de uitgebreidere versie op onze [[NL/ZBot|ZBot pagina]].<br />
<br />
* Fantasy commando's. Dit zijn eigenlijk versimpelde vormen van diverse ChanServ commando's zoals !kick, !ban, !kb. Voor een overzicht van alle fantasy commando's, tik het volgende in je kamer wanneer de bot aanwezig is:<br />
'''''!help'''''<br />
<br />
* Ondersteuning voor automatische kicks en bans op basis van bepaalde woorden, hoofdletter-gebruik, of overvloedig gebruik van dikgedrukt of onderlijnde tekst. Voor meer informatie hierover, lees de tekst die je krijgt na het gebruiken van het volgende commando:<br />

<br />
=== ZBot ===<br />
We hebben ook de ZBot module geinstalleerd. Wanneer ZBot door de oprichter/founder van het kanaal is geactiveerd, dan kunnen de AOPs en hoger van de kamer de bot sleutelwoorden aanleren. Via het !learn commando kan een operator the bot vertellen wat een bepaald sleutelwoord betekent.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:NL]]<br />
= Wat is een bot =<br />
Een bot is een losstaande client, een script voor een bestaande client, of enig andere vorm van software met het doel bepaalde taken te automatiseren, of speciale functies aan te bieden in bijvoorbeeld een IRC chatkamer.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Een voorbeeld van een IRC bot is BotServ.<br />
Op het Chat4All netwerk draaien we deze service, welke onderdeel is van het Anope IRC services pakket.<br />
<br />
BotServ levert ons aanpasbare ChanServ aliasen, met een aantal extra functionaliteiten. Een voorbeeld hiervan zijn 'fantasy' tekst commando's die je makkelijk in het kanaal kan gebruiken om iemand te voicen (''!voice gebruikersnaam''), kickbannen (''!kb gebruikersnaam''), toegangs- en xOP-lijst aan te passen en nog meer handige commando's.<br />
Ook biedt BotServ ondersteuning voor een aantal automatische 'kickers' op bijvoorbeeld overvloedig HOOFDLETTERS gebruik, flooden en kick op zelf-instelbare woorden.<br />
<br />
'''Voor alle duidelijkheid: onze BotServ bots hebben ''geen !trivia, !quote, !uno, !start of andere soortgelijke spelletjes commando's ingebouwd!'''''<br />
Hiervoor zul je zelf een bot moeten zoeken en draaien. Handig zoektermen zijn: ''eggdrop'', ''windrop'', ''mIRC bot'', ''ruby cinch bot'', of ''ruby rbot''.<br />
<br />
'''Wat kan je wel verwachten?'''<br />
<br />
* Sleutelwoord definities via [[#ZBot]]; voor mee info, zie hieronder en het '''!zhelp''' commando in je kamer als je BotServ bot er is. Lees tevens de tekst van het commando:<br />
'''''/helpop zbot_nl'''''<br />
<br />
* Fantasy commando's. Dit zijn eigenlijk versimpelde vormen van diverse ChanServ commando's zoals !kick, !ban, !kb. Voor een overzicht van alle fantasy commando's, tik het volgende in je kamer wanneer de bot aanwezig is:<br />
'''''!help'''''<br />
<br />
* Ondersteuning voor automatische kicks en bans op basis van bepaalde woorden, hoofdletter-gebruik, of overvloedig gebruik van dikgedrukt of onderlijnde tekst. Voor meer informatie hierover, lees de tekst die je krijgt na het gebruiken van het volgende commando:<br />
'''''/botserv help'''''<br />
en bijvoorbeeld:<br />
'''''/botserv help kick'''''<br />
<br />
=== BotServ Eigenschappen ===<br />
De bot verschijnt pas als een gebruiker in de kamer zodra er 2 of meer personen in de kamer zijn. De meeste van zijn kenmerken (''nickname, [[NL/IdentD|ident]], [[Vhost]] en 'GeCOS'/'volledige naam' '') zijn instelbaar wanneer de bot aangevraagd wordt.<br />
<br />
Door de zogenaamde 'Symbiosis'-eigenschap zullen alle acties die normaal door ChanServ gedaan werden (zoals bannen, voicen, op-rechten geven, etc), vervolgens gedaan worden door je BotServ bot.<br />
<br />
Via de BotServ SAY en ACT commando's kunnen AOPs en hoger de bot ook laten 'spreken' of 'acties' (zelfde als /me actie) laten uitvoeren in de kamer.<br />
<br />
=== ZBot ===<br />
We hebben ook de ZBot module geinstalleerd. Wanneer ZBot door de oprichter/founder van het kanaal is geactiveerd, dan kunnen de AOPs en hoger van de kamer de bot sleutelwoorden aanleren. Via het !learn commando kan een operator the bot vertellen wat een bepaald sleutelwoord betekent.<br />
Voor meer details, lees de [[NL/ZBot|ZBot pagina]].<br />
<br />
== Aanvragen van een Bot ==<br />
Er zijn twee mogelijkheden om een botje op naam in je geregistreerde kamer te krijgen:<br />
<br />
1. Je kiest uit het lijstje een al bestaande bot. Deze botjes zijn door andere gebruikers of door ons gemaakt en hun naam kun je niet wijzigen.<br />
Om te zien welke bestaande botjes op het moment beschikbaar zijn typ je:<br />
<br />
'''''/BOTSERV BOTLIST'''''<br />
<br />
Je ziet dan een lijstje met o.a.<br />
<br />
''BotServ: Bot list:''<br />
''BotServ: SpongeBob (Nickelodeon@Krusty.Krab)''<br />
''BotServ: Aladdin (Wonderlamp@chat4all.org)''<br />
''BotServ: Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)''<br />
<br />
het toevoegen aan je kamer doe je vervolgens met:<br />
'''''/BOTSERV ASSIGN <font style="color: blue;">#kanaal</font> <font style="color: red;">Botnick</font>'''''<br />
<br />
waarbij je ''<div style="display: inline;color: red;">Botnick</div>'' vervangt met nickname van de bot die je in de botlijst hebt gevonden, en ''<div style="display: inline;color: blue;">#kanaal</div>'' vervangt met de naam van je eigen kanaal.<br />
<br />
2. Je kiest zelf een naam voor je bot. (Deze naam mag niet een geregistreerde nickname van een gebruiker zijn, dit wordt door ons gecontroleerd. Probeer eerst even zelf de nickname van je bot aan te nemen en kijk of je een melding krijgt dat die naam al geregistreerd is.)<br />
<br />
Hiervoor heb ik een paar door jou verzonnen namen nodig en wel:<br />
a. een nickname (de naam van de bot)<br />
b. een ident/user naam (op te vragen met /whois botnaam)<br />
c. een host naam (net als een vhost, bijvoorbeeld: ik.ben.een.bot)<br />
d. een 'echte naam'/Gecos (alleen zichtbaar wanneer je een /whois op de bot naam doet. Bijvoorbeeld 'Ik ben een bot')<br />
e. de naam van de geregistreerde kamer waar de bot aanwezig zal zijn<br />
f. jouw geregistreerde nicknaam<br />
<br />
Wat vul je dan in? Als voorbeeld nemen we 'Shrek (Ogre@Far.Far.Away)'<br />
- a. nick: Shrek<br />
- b. ident: Ogre<br />
- c. host: Far.Far.Away<br />
- d. en de real name/echte naam is: I have layers!<br />
- e. Chatkamer: #mijnkamer<br />
- f. Mijn nicknaam: Ikke<br />
<br />
Je mag dus al deze namen zelf bedenken.<br /><br />
Het botje zelf verschijnt pas in je kamer zodra er '''2 gebruikers of meer''' in je kamer aanwezig zijn. Wanneer je alleen overblijft gaat het botje weg en komt pas terug als er weer iemand bijkomt.<br />
<br />
Als je een botje met zelf gekozen namen neemt, kun je het door ons PRIVATE (privé) laten zetten. Doe je dat niet dan verschijnt het in de botlist (te zien via '''/msg botserv BOTLIST''') en kunnen ook andere gebruikers dit botje aan hun kamer laten verbinden.<br />
<br />
Voor alle botjes geldt hetzelfde, je kunt ze naar eigen wens configureren, typ /msg botserv help.<br />
<br />
Als je besloten hebt dat je een botje wil, laat ons dan even weten onder welke naam/namen en vermeld dan tevens in welke (geregistreerde) kamer je dit botje wil hebben.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:NL]]<br />
= xOP niveaus =<br />
Onze channelservice '''ChanServ''' kent 5 niveaus in het xOP systeem; 4 voor channel operators and 1 generiek niveau:<br />
<br />
== Founder (Oprichter) ==<br />
Dit niveau kan eigenlijk niet toegewezen worden aan anderen, aangezien een kanaal maar 1 oprichter kan hebben, namelijk de eigenaar van de kamer.<br />
Wanneer de oprichter zich identificeerd voor zijn/haar nickname, krijgt de oprichter de Founder status (~/q) op het kanaal.<br />
Je kan iemand anders als nieuwe eigenaar van het kanaal toewijzen met het SET FOUNDER commando:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SET #kamernaam FOUNDER gebruikersnaamVanNieuweEigenaar'''<br />
Om bijvoorbeeld de gebruiker Auchentoshan permanent als nieuwe eigenaar van het kanaal #drankWinkel aan te wijzen, gebruik je:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SET #drankWinkel FOUNDER Auchentoshan'''<br />
Let op! Je verliest je eigen Founder rechten wanneer je dit doet! Doe dit dus niet zomaar.<br />
<br />
=== Successor (Opvolger) ===<br />
Het is ook wijs om een opvolger aan te wijzen met het SET SUCCESSOR commando:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SET #kamernaam SUCCESSOR gebruikersnaamVanOpvolger'''<br />
Deze gebruiker krijgt de Founder rechten van het kanaal in het geval dat de oorspronkelijke oprichter zijn nickname laat verlopen, of 50 dagen niet meer op het kanaal is geweest.<br />
Dus, als je de gebruiker JackDaniels als opvolger van het kanaal #drankWinkel wilt aanwijzen, gebruik je het volgende commando:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SET #drankWinkel SUCCESSOR JackDaniels'''<br />
Een successor is niet echt een niveau binnen het xOP systeem en krijgt dus ook niet automatisch operator rechten (totdat de Founder zijn rechten verliest en de Successor de nieuwe Founder wordt in ieder geval).<br />
<br />
== SOP ==<br />
Dit is de zogenaamde '''SuperOPerator''' status.<br />
Een '''SOP''' heeft uitgebreide toegang tot de services van ChanServ, waaronder het plaatsen van '''AKICK''' (''Autokicks'', lees meer hierover op: [http://www.chat4all.net/manual/manual-chan_nl.html#AKICK http://www.chat4all.net/manual/manual-chan_nl.html#AKICK])<br />
SOPs krijgen automatisch 'admin' (&/a) status op het kanaal zodra ze identificeren voor hun gebruikersnaam.<br />
<br />
== AOP ==<br />
Dit is de '''AutoOPerator''' status. <br />
Een geïdentificeerde '''AOP''' krijgt net als een '''SOP''' automatisch operator status ''(@/o)'' in het kanaal en heeft toegang tot een aantal ChanServ commando's, maar heeft minder rechten dan een '''SOP'''.<br />
Zij kunnen bijvoorbeeld /CHANSERV KICK en /CHANSERV BAN gebruiken, maar kunnen bijvoorbeeld geen AKICKs plaatsen.<br />
<br />
== HOP ==<br />
Dit is de '''HalfOPerator''' status. Een geïdentificeerde '''HOP''' krijgt bij binnenkomst van het kanaal automatisch de '''HalfOperator''' ''(%/h)'' status.<br /><br />
Een HalfOp heeft zeer beperkte toegang tot de ChanServ commando's en kan alleen maar Bans en Kicks uitvoeren en Channel-Topics instellen.<br />
Je geeft iemand eigenlijk alleen HOP status als je ze wel kamer operator rechten wilt geven, maar geen toegang tot de services.<br />
<br />
== VOP ==<br />
Tot slot zijn er nog de '''VOP'''s, dit zijn '''VOiced Persons'''. <br />
Deze personen krijgen automatisch een voice (+/v) status bij binnenkomst.<br />
<br />
== Wie kan welke niveaus toewijzen ==<br />
* '''Founder'''s kunnen elk niveau toewijzen aan geregistreerde gebruikers. Kortom: SOP, AOP, HOP en VOP. <br />
* '''SOP'''s kunnen ''AOP''s, ''HOP''s, ''VOP''s toevoegen en verwijderen.<br /><br />
* '''AOP'''s kunnen alleen ''HOP''s en ''VOP''s toevoegen en verwijderen.<br /><br />
* '''HOP'''s kunnen niemand toevoegen of verwijderen van de accesslist.<br /><br />
<br />
== Hoe gebruikersniveaus toe te wijzen ==<br />
Een SOP kan alleen toegevoegd en verwijderd worden door de Oprichter/Founder van een kamer. <br />
Het toevoegen van een SOP kan geschieden met het volgende commando:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SOP #jouwkamernaam ADD gebruikersnaam'''<br />
Om bijvoorbeeld de gebruiker JackDaniels toe te voegen aan de SOP lijst van de kamer #drankWinkel, gebruik je:<br />
'''/CHANSERV SOP #drankWinkel ADD JackDaniels'''<br />
<br />
Een AOP kan toegevoegd worden door SOPs en de Founder via:<br />
'''/CHANSERV AOP #jouwkamernaam ADD gebruikersnaam'''<br />
Om bijvoorbeeld de gebruiker JackDaniels AOP rechten te geven op de kamer #drankWinkel, gebruik je:<br />
'''/CHANSERV AOP #drankWinkel ADD JackDaniels'''<br />
<br />
Een HOP kan toegevoegd worden door de Founder, SOPs en AOPs via:<br />
'''/CHANSERV HOP #jouwkamernaam ADD gebruikersnaam'''<br />
Wil je bijvoorbeeld JackDaniels alleen HOP status geven in het kanaal #drankWinkel, dan voer je dit uit:<br />
'''/CHANSERV HOP #drankWinkel ADD JackDaniels'''<br />
<br />
Tot slot kan een VOP toegevoegd worden door de Founder, SOPs en AOPs via:<br /><br />
'''/CHANSERV VOP #jouwkamernaam ADD gebruikersnaam'''<br />
Mag JackDaniels bijvoorbeeld alleen maar automatisch gevoiced worden in #drankWinkel (en dus op de VOP lijst gezet worden), dan voer je dit uit:<br />
'''/CHANSERV VOP #drankWinkel ADD JackDaniels'''<br />
<br />
= Operator icoon overzicht =<br />
~ Founder/Oprichter van de kamer<br />
& Gebruiker met +a (Admin/SOP) status<br />
@ Normale Operator <br />
% Half-Operator<br />
+ Voiced user<br />
<br />
= Belangrijke opmerkingen =<br />
Je moet ingelogd zijn met je nickname waarmee je de status in je kamer hebt, je kunt niet zomaar de commando's uitvoeren met een willekeurige nick.<br />
Als je niet meer weet hoe je elke keer inlogt voor je gebruikersnaam, lees dan nog eens de [[RegistreerNick#Stap_Vier:_Blijven_Inloggen|inlog-sectie van ons gebruikersnaam registratie artikel]].<br />
<br />
Iedereen die op 1 van de xOP gebruikerslijsten staat, moet elke keer dat hij weer verbindt met onze IRC server, zich ook weer opnieuw identificeren via NickServ voor die gebruikersnaam. Dit is om misbruik te voorkomen.<br />
<br />
== Inloggen via ChanServ ==<br />
Er is echter 1 uitzondering. Je kunt ook Founder status krijgen (en dus bijna alle ChanServ commando's uitvoeren) door in te loggen als semi-oprichter via ChanServ met het wachtwoord waarmee de kamer is geregistreerd:<br />
'''/CHANSERV IDENTIFY #jouwKamernaam chanservKanaalRegistratieWachtwoord<br />
Als voorbeeld nemen we weer het kanaal #drankWinkel. Stel dit kanaal was geregistreerd met het wachtwoord 'zuipen', dan kan iedereen identificeren als 'eigenaar' van het kanaal met:<br />
'''/CHANSERV IDENTIFY #drankWinkel zuipen'''<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:NL]]<br />
== Introductie ==<br />
Op het Chat4All Netwerk is het mogelijk om je gebruikersnaam (verder aangeduid als ''nickname'') te registreren.<br />
<br />
Door je nickname te registreren, zorg je ervoor dat niemand zomaar je nickname kan gebruiken. Tevens heb je na registratie toegang tot onze andere services, zoals onder andere [[ChanServ]] (voor kamerregistratie en -beheer), [[MemoServ]] (voor het versturen en lezen van memo-notities) en [[HostServ]] (voor het beheer van zogenaamde [[VHost]]s).<br />
<br />
== Enige Opmerkingen ==<br />
Alle opdrachtcommando's die je hier ziet, dienen ingetypt te worden in je chat-scherm (bij voorkeur in het Status-scherm van je [[IRC-Client|IRC Chat Programma]]. Indien je niet snapt wat ik hiermee bedoel; het is vaak het eerste scherm/tabblad, welke verschilt van het scherm waar je meestal in chat.<br />
Typ anders gewoon alle opdrachtcommando's waar je normaal al je tekstberichten naar je mede-chatters typt.<br />
<br />
'''BELANGRIJK: Wees er altijd zeker van dat je een schuine, voorwaartse streep (ook wel het ''slash-karakter'' genoemd) <font style="color:red;">/</font> helemaal aan het begin van de commano's hebt getikt. Die <font style="color:red;">/</font> staat er niet voor niets bij, dus neem die a.u.b. dus over.'''<br />
<br />
== Stap Een: Registreren via [[NickServ]] ==<br />
Deze eerste stap is vrij simpel. Bedenk eerst een wachtwoord voor je nickname, deze heb je later nodig zodat NickServ je herkent als eigenaar van je nickname.<br />
Zodra je een wachtwoord hebt bedacht, mag je deze invullen in de volgende opdrachtregel<br />
''/msg NickServ Register <font style="color:red;">VervangDitMetWachtwoord</font> <font style="color:green;">HierJeEmailAdres</font>''<br />
Je zal dus '''''<font style="color:red;">VervangDitMetWachtwoord</font>''''' moeten vervangen met het wachtwoord dat je hebt gekozen.<br />'''''(Opmerking: een wachtwoord is ''hoofdletter-gevoelig''. Dit betekent dat ''Password'', ''PASSWORD'' en ''passWORD'' allemaal verschillende wachtwoorden zijn..)'''''<br />
<br />
Ook dien je '''''<font style="color:green;">HierJeEmailAdres</font>''''' te vervangen met je eigen '''''werkende''''' e-mailadres. (Het liefste geen hotmail-adres, aangezien hotmail onze registratiemails nog wel eens niet door het spamfilter laat).<br />
''(Het e-mailadres dient valide/werkend te zijn, aangezien hier straks een confirmatie code naartoe gestuurd wordt..)''<br />
<br />
Als alles goed gaat, zou je nu een prive-notificatie van NickServ moeten krijgen dat lijkt op:<br />
NickServ : A passcode has been sent to Jouw@E-MailAdres, <br />
please type ''/msg NickServ confirm <passcode>'' to complete registration<br />
Hier staat dus dat een confirmatiecode is gestuurd naar jouw e-mailadres en dat je die code met ''/msg NickServ confirm <confirmatiecode>'' zal moeten gebruiken om je registratie te voltooien, maar meer hierover in de volgende stap.<br />
<br />
== Stap Twee: Bevestigen nickname-registratie ==<br />
Zodra je de eerste stap voltooid hebt, mag je je e-mail openen om te kijken naar het confirmatie-mailtje dat naar het e-mailadres is gestuurd dat je hebt opgegeven.<br />
De e-mail ''(welke in het Engels is, aangezien dat de standaard ingestelde taal voor onze services is op de server. Wees maar niet bang, dit kan je later veranderen in Nederlands)'' zal er ongeveer zo uit zien:<br />
<br />
'''Onderwerp:''' Nickname Registration (JeNickname)<br />
'''Van:''' registration (AT) chat4all (DOT) org<br />
'''Inhoud:'''<br />
----<br />
Hi,<br /><br />
You have requested to register the following nickname JouwNickname.<br /><br />
Please type " ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' " to complete registration.<br /><br />
If you don't know why this mail is sent to you, please ignore it silently.<br /><br />
PLEASE DON'T ANSWER TO THIS MAIL!<br /><br />
chat4all administrators.<br /><br />
<br />
natuurlijk zal de confirmatiecode anders zijn ;)<br />
<br />
Voor alle duidelijkheid is hier een persoonlijke vertaling van het bovenstaande e-mailtje:<br />
Hoi,<br /><br />
Je hebt zojuist een registratie van de nickname JouwNickname aangevraagd.<br /><br />
Typ a.u.b. " ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' " om de registratie te voltooien<br /><br />
Als je niet weet waarom dit mailtje naar je is gestuurd, negeer het dan a.u.b.<br /><br />
REAGEER ALSJEBLIEFT NIET OP DEZE MAIL!<br /><br />
Chat4All Administratie<br /><br />
''zoals eerder vermeldt, zal jouw confirmatiecode anders zijn!''<br />
<br />
Kortom, volg gewoon de instructies op, kopieer ''alles'' tussen de twee "dubbele aanhalingstekens", m.a.w. de tekst '''uit je e-mail''' die lijkt op: ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' naar je chatwindow.<br /><br />
(Probeer de tekst bijvoorbeeld te selecteren, met de rechtermuisknop erop klikken en 'kopieer' aanklikken en vervolgens in je chatscherm de toetscombinatie CTRL en V te gebruiken. Werkt dit niet, typ dan met de hand alles EXACT over. Let op verschil in hoofdletters (de hoofdletter i (I) en de kleine letter L (l) willen nog wel eens op elkaar lijken)en het verschil tussen een 0 (nul) en o (de letter o) en O (de hoofdletter O).<br />
<br />
Je zou nu weer een privebericht moeten krijgen van NickServ, ditmaal met het bericht dat je registratie voltooid is: <br />
NickServ : Nickname ''JouwNickname'' registered under your account: ''*jouw@*.host.naam''<br />
NickServ : Your password is ''JouwWachtwoord'' - remember this for later use.<br />
<br />
Onderstaande is een vrije vertaling van bovenstaande:<br />
NickServ : Nickname ''JouwNickname'' is geregistreerd onder jouw account: ''*jouw@*.host.naam''<br />
NickServ : Je wachtwoord is ''JouwWachtwoord'' - onthoud dit voor later gebruik.<br />
<br />
Mocht je desondanks een ander bericht krijgen, waarin staat dat de opgegeven confirmatie code incorrect is, dan moet je controleren of je misschien de code verkeerd hebt overgetikt. Zoals eerder gezegd, een nul en de letter o kunnen op elkaar lijken, zo ook het cijfer één (1), de hoofdletter i (I) en de kleine letter L (l).<br /><br />
De beste manier om deze tikfouten te voorkomen, is door de tekst in je e-mail te selecteren, vervolgens de ''CTRL''-toets ingedrukt te houden en vervolgens (terwijl je de ''CTRL'' nog vasthoudt) op de '''C'''-toets te drukken. Je mag beiden nu weer loslaten. Hiermee heb je de tekst gekopieerd.<br /><br />
Ga nu naar je chatscherm en houdt de ''CTRL''-toets weer ingedrukt en druk deze keer de ''v''-toets eenmalig erbij in. De gekopieerde tekst zou nu in je chatscherm geplakt zijn. ''(let op.. sommige 'chatapplets' op websites ondersteunen 'plakken' van tekst niet. Hier zal je dan toch echt alles handmatig en letterlijk over moeten typen..)<br />
<br />
== Stap Drie: Nederlands instellen ==<br />
Als je graag hebt dat je alle berichten van de services (zoals NickServ en ChanServ) in het Nederlands ziet, dan kan je dat met het volgende commando instellen:<br />
''/msg NickServ Set Language 10'' <br />
Je krijgt nu als het goed is het volgende bericht te zien:<br />
Notice: NickServ: Taal veranderd in Nederlands.<br />
<br />
== Stap Vier: Blijven Inloggen ==<br />
Goed zo! Je nickname is (als je alle stappen hebt opgevolgd) nu waarschijnlijk registreerd! Echter, je moet niet vergeten tenminste éénmaal per 50 dagen in te loggen met je nickname, anders zal je account weer verlopen en vrijkomen zodat iemand anders er gebruik van kan maken.<br />
<br />
Hoe log je in? Het is vrij simpel!<br />
Elke keer als je verbinding maakt met de chatserver, en je gebruikt je geregistreerde nickname, dan zal NickServ je helpen herinneren te identificeren.<br />
Notice: [NickServ] Deze nickname is geregistreerd en beschermd. Als het jouw<br />
Notice: [NickServ] nick is, type '''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY [[wachtwoord]]'''. Zo niet,<br />
Notice: [NickServ] kies een andere nick.<br />
Notice: [NickServ] Als je niet binnen 20 seconden je nick verandert, verander ik je nick.<br />
NickServ vertelt je hier eigenlijk al duidelijk wat je moet doen, dus gaan we gewoon haar instructies opvolgen ;)<br /><br />
Het enige dat je moet doen is het volgende intikken:<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <font style="color:red;">HierJeWachtwoord</font>''<br /><br />
''(en natuurlijk vervang je <font style="color:red;">HierJeWachtwoord</font> met het wachtwoord dat je tijdens de registratie hebt gekozen)''<br />
<br />
Zo, nu je bekend bent het het IDENTIFY/inlog-proces, kan je ook enkele extra opties instellen.<br />
<br />
== Stap Vijf: Instellen van KILL en andere opties==<br />
Met de standaard instellingen, zal er niets gebeuren als iemand anders je nickname probeert te gebruiken. De gebruiker zal alleen een waarschuwing krijgen dat de nickname geregistreerd is, meer niet.<br /><br />
Wil je er echter voor zorgen dat niemand anders zomaar zonder in te loggen met jouw wachwoord, je nickname kan gebruiken, dan moet je de KILL-optie instellen.<br />
''NickServ's HELP over de KILL-optie '''(/msg NickServ HELP SET KILL)'''''<br />
[NickServ] Gebruik: SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}<br />
[NickServ]<br />
[NickServ] Zet de automatiche beschermingsoptie voor je nick aan of uit.<br />
[NickServ] Met bescherming aan, krijgt elke gebruik met jouw nick een<br />
[NickServ] minuut om zich te identificeren of om zijn/haar nick te<br />
[NickServ] veranderen. Is geen van beiden gebeurd in die minuut, dan zal<br />
[NickServ] NickServ een nick-verandering forceren.<br />
[NickServ]<br />
[NickServ] Als je QUICK kiest, zal de gebruiker maar 20 seconden hebben<br />
[NickServ] om zijn/haar nick te veranderen in plaats van de gebruikelijke<br />
[NickServ] 60. Als je IMMED kiest, zal de nick meteen worden aangepaast<br />
[NickServ] zonder enige waarschuwing vooraf of kans om zijn/haar nick<br />
[NickServ] te wijzigen; gebruik deze optie alleen wanneer noodzakelijk.<br />
[NickServ] Deze optie kan ook uitgeschakeld zijn door de netwerk<br />
[NickServ] administrators.<br />
<br />
Zo, wat betekent dit allemaal?<br /><br />
In het kort betekent het dat als iemand niet het ''NickServ IDENTIFY''-commando voor je geregistreerde nickname (waarvoor KILL aanstaat) gebruikt, dat de nickname van die persoon dan na enige tijd veranderd wordt in: GuestXXXXX ''(waar XXXX gelijkstaat aan een willekeurig getal)''.<br />
<br />
Zoals je kunt zien, zijn er 4 verschillende opties mogelijk:<br />
<br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL ON''<br />
hiermee wordt de KILL-functionaliteit aangezet met een identificeertijd van 60 seconden.<br />
De persoon heeft dus 60 seconden de tijd om te identificeren voor de nickname.<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL QUICK''<br /><br />
hiermee wordt de KILL-functionaliteit aangezet met een verkorte identificeertijd van 20 seconden.<br />
De persoon heeft dan dus maar 20 seconden de tijd om te identificeren voor de nickname.<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL IMMED''<br />
hiermee wordt de KILL-functionaliteit aangezet met een onmiddelijke identificeertijd van 1 seconde.<br />
De persoon moet dan na kiezen van haar nickname ONMIDDELIJK identificeren voor de nickname.<br /><br />
'''<font style="color:red;">WAARSCHUWING: Dit is een nogal gevaarlijke optie, aangezien je ONMIDDELIJK moet inloggen,<br /> wat eigenlijk alleen kan met behulp van geautomatiseerde scripts,<br /> en is dan ook ERG AFGERADEN voor normale gebruikers!!</font>'''<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL OFF''<br />
dit zal de KILL-functionaliteit voor de nickname uitschakelen.<br /><br />
<br />
Er zijn nog meer handige opties en instellingen te vinden met behulp van het volgende commando:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP SET''<br />
<br />
en teven nog meer met:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP''<br />
<br />
Een andere nog handige functionaliteit die door NickServ wordt aangeboden, is het NickServ GROUP commando om meerdere nicknames aan je account te verbinden.<br /><br />
Je kan meer informatie over dit commando opvragen met door het volgende commando:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP GROUP''<br />
in je chatscherm te tikken.<br /><br />
Ik zal proberen er later ook een wiki-pagina over te schrijven.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=RegisterNickname&diff=2837RegisterNickname2012-05-07T22:33:14Z<p>FiXato: /* Step Three: Remembering to Identify */ Updated expiration time</p>

<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
On the Chat4All-Network it is possible to register your nickname.<br />
<br />
Doing this it, you ensure no-one can use your nickname unauthorised, and once your nickname is registered, you can also use our other services, such as [[ChanServ]], [[MemoServ]] and [[HostServ]].<br />
<br />
== Some notes ==<br />
All commands you see here have to be typed in your chatwindow (preferably on the StatusWindow of your [[IRC-Client]]. If you don't understand what I am talking about, it is the first window usually, different from the one where you usually chat. Else just type in the commands where you usually type your textmessages to the other chatters)<br />
<br />
'''Also make sure you don't forget the slash-character ''/'' at the front of the commands!'''<br />
<br />
== Step One: Registering through [[NickServ]] ==<br />
This first step is very basic. Once you've chosen a password of your own, you can use the following command:<br />
''/msg NickServ Register <font style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</font> <font style="color:green;">YourEmailAddressHere</font>''<br />
You should replace '''''<font style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</font>''''' with the password you've chosen.<br />'''''(Note: the password is case-sensitive. This means that ''Password'', ''PASSWORD'' and ''passWORD'' are different passwords..)'''''<br />
<br />
You should also replace '''''<font style="color:green;">YourEmailAddressHere</font>''''' with your '''''valid''''' E-mailaddress. <br />
''(The address has to be valid, because a confirmation e-mail will be send to it..)''<br />
If things go right, you should receive a notice-message from NickServ that contains something like this:<br />
NickServ : A passcode has been sent to Your@E-MailAddress, <br />
please type ''/msg NickServ confirm <passcode>'' to complete registration<br />
<br />
== Step Two: Confirming your account-registration ==<br />
Once you've completed the first step, you should open your E-mail to find the passcode that has been sent to you.<br />
The E-mail will look somewhat like this:<br />
<br />
'''Subject:''' Nickname Registration (YourNickname)<br />
'''From:''' registration (AT) chat4all (DOT) org<br />
'''Content:'''<br />
----<br />
Hi,<br /><br />
You have requested to register the following nickname YourNickname.<br /><br />
Please type " ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' " to complete registration.<br /><br />
If you don't know why this mail is sent to you, please ignore it silently.<br /><br />
PLEASE DON'T ANSWER TO THIS MAIL!<br /><br />
chat4all administrators.<br /><br />
<br />
of course the confirmation code will be different ;)<br /><br />
So, just follow the instructions, copy the entire line ''/msg NickServ confirm 50m3c0d3h3r3'' to your chatwindow to confirm your registration.<br />
<br />
You should now get a Notice-Message from NickServ again, this time stating that the registration has been completed:<br />
NickServ : Nickname ''YourNickname'' registered under your account: ''*your@*.host.name''<br />
NickServ : Your password is ''YourPassword'' - remember this for later use.<br />
<br />
If, however, you get a different message, stating that the giving confirmation code was incorrect, then you should check for errors in your typing, perhaps you misjudged a ''zero'' ''(0)'' for an'' 'O'-character '' or a capital ''i'' for a lowercase ''L''.<br /><br />
The best way to prevent typos is, to select the line from your E-mail, copy it (''by holding down the CTRL-key and pressing the 'c'-key''), and paste it in your chatwindow (''by holding down the CTRL-key again and pressing the 'v'-key'').<br />
<br />
== Step Three: Remembering to Identify==<br />
Well, your nickname is registered now, but you should identify for it at least once every 50 days!<br /><br />
So, how do you do that? It is quite simple! <br />
Everytime you connect to the chatserver and you use that nickname, nickserv will remind you to identify for it.<br />
Notice: NickServ : This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your<br />
Notice: NickServ : nick, type ''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password''<br />
Notice: NickServ : Otherwise, please choose a different nick.<br />
So, again, just follow the instructions given to you ;)<br /><br />
All you have to do is type in:<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <font style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</font>''<br /><br />
''(and of course replace <font style="color:red;">YourPasswordHere</font> with the password you used when you registered your nickname)''<br />
<br />
So, if you have familiarised yourself with the whole IDENTIFY-process, you can also set some extra options.<br />
<br />
== Step Four: Setting the KILL and other Options==<br />
With the default settings, nothing will happen if someone else uses your nickname.<br /><br />
But if you want to make sure that no-one else can use your nick unauthorised, then you should set the KILL-option.<br />
''NickServ's HELP on the KILL-option''<br />
NickServ : Syntax: SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}<br />
NickServ : <br />
NickServ : Turns the automatic protection option for your nick<br />
NickServ : ''ON'' or ''OFF''. With protection ''ON'', if another user<br />
NickServ : tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to<br />
NickServ : change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change<br />
NickServ : their nick.<br />
NickServ : <br />
NickServ : If you select ''QUICK'', the user will be given only ''20 seconds''<br />
NickServ : to change nicks instead of the usual ''60 seconds''. <br />
NickServ : <br />
NickServ : If you select ''IMMED'', user's nick will be changed immediately<br />
NickServ : without being warned first or given a chance to change their nick;<br />
NickServ : please do not use this option unless necessary. Also, your<br />
NickServ : network's administrators may have disabled this option.<br />
So, what does this all mean?<br /><br />
Well, basically it means that if someone does not use the ''NickServ IDENTIFY''-command for your registered nickname, the nick will be changed to GuestXXXXX ''(where XXXX resembles a random number)''.<br />
<br />
There are 4 settings for it as you can see:<br />
<br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL ON''<br />
this will set the KILL feature on with the default Identification-time of 60 seconds.<br />
The person then has 60 seconds to identify for the nickname.<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL QUICK''<br /><br />
this will set the KILL feature on with the shortened Identification-time of 20 seconds.<br />
The person then has 20 seconds to identify for the nickname.<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL IMMED''<br />
this will set the KILL feature on with the IMMEDIATE Identification-time.<br />
The person then has to '''''immediately''''' identify for the nickname.<br />
'''<font style="color:red;">NOTE: This is somewhat of a dangerous option as you need to identify IMMEDIATELY,<br />which can usually only be done by automated scripts,<br />and thus is NOT suggested for standard users.</font>'''<br /><br />
''/msg NickServ SET KILL OFF''<br />
this will disable the KILL feature<br /><br />
<br />
There are more interesting options to be found by using the following command:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP SET''<br />
<br />
and:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP''<br />
<br />
Another helpful function is the NickServ GROUP command.<br /><br />
You can find more information about this command by typing:<br />
''/msg NickServ HELP GROUP''<br />
in your chatwindow.<br /><br />
I will also make a wiki-page about it later on.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=IRC-Client&diff=2834IRC-Client2012-03-29T22:24:23Z<p>FiXato: /* Desktop Clients Comparison */</p>

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>[[Category:NL]]<br />
== Intro ==<br />
Het kan voorkomen dat je last hebt van een vervelende chatter die elke keer terugkomt in je kanaal.<br />
In plaats van hem/haar elke keer te kicken, is het in zo'n geval handiger om die persoon te verbannen uit je kanaal met een 'ban'.<br />
Dit kan op verschillende manieren.<br />
<br />
== Banformaten ==<br />
Misschien is het handig om eerst uit te leggen welke informatie je tot je beschikking hebt om 1 of meerdere personen te bannen uit je kamer.<br />
Een ban kan gezet worden in 1 van de volgende 2 formaten:<br />
nickname!ident@host.name<br />
nickname!ident@ip<br />
waarbij de hostname en het IP adres een 'echt' adres kan zijn, maar ook een zogenaamde VHost, of een 'masked' host/IP.<br />
<br />
== IP en Hostname ==<br />
Standaard toont Chat4All geen volledige host.names of IP-adressen van de chatters, maar een zogenaamd 'masked' adres.<br /><br />
Hierbij wordt het eerste deel van de hostname vervangen met "Chat4all-" gevolgd door een hexadecimaal getal (bijvoorbeeld Chat4all-9DCCB19), of wordt het IP weergegeven in hexadecimale octalen waarbij het laatste octaal vervangen is met de tekst ".IP".<br /><br />
Een gebruiker kan er ook voor kiezen om een eigen VHost aan te vragen die helemaal geen verband heeft met zijn echte hostname of IP-adres.<br /><br />
Om iets van privacy te bieden naar de chatters, kunnen alleen IRC ''Server'' Operators de echte IP-adressen en Hostnames zien van chatters, tenzij de gebruiker ervoor kiest om zijn masking of VHost uit te zetten.<br /><br />
<br />
== Whois ==<br />
Dit klinkt allemaal vrij technisch, maar is op zich niet belangrijk voor het bannen.<br />
Al de informatie die je nodig hebt, is namelijk te verkrijgen via het zogenaamde ''"/whois nickname"'' commando. Dit toont onder andere de ident en de (masked/virtual) hostname of (masked) IP adres van de chatter met de nickname die je opgeeft.<br />
<br />
Een paar voorbeelden van de fictieve gebruikers "Anoniempje", "Duivels_Engeltje":<br />
<br />
=== Masked IP ===<br />
''/whois Anoniempje''<br />
<br />

== Channelbans ==<br />
Een ban is te zetten via:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal +b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
Deze is vervolgens weer te verwijderen met:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal -b nickname!ident@host.name<br />
Tot slot is een overzicht van alle huidige geplaatste bans in het kanaal op te vragen met:<br />
/mode #naamVanKanaal +b<br />
Veel clients bieden hiervoor ook grafische interface mogelijkheden voor. De Windows IRC client mIRC toont bijvoorbeeld de huidige ban lijst als je dubbelklikt in het tekstbuffer gedeelte van het kanaal. Hier kan je dan ook individuele bans verwijderen. Het kickbannen van een persoon kan vaak via een menuutje dat verschijnt als je met de rechtermuisknop klikt op een nickname.<br /><br />
De hier beschreven commando's zouden echter in alle clients hetzelfde moeten werken. Denk er wel aan om ''#naamVanKanaal'' met de naam van je eigen kamer te vervangen!<br />
<br />
== Voorbeeld ==<br />
Stel, jij bent operator op de kamer ''#flierefluiters'' en je hebt last van een vervelender chatter die zich 'klierekruid16' noemt.<br /><br />
Zijn hostname is 'Chat4all-C32E5E2E.quicknet.nl' en de ident is ingesteld op 'elma'.<br /><br />
De chatter gebruikt het Chat4All applet, dus de 'realname'/'gecos' van de gebruiker is "Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com"<br /><br />
Een ''/whois klierekruid16'' zal er dan waarschijnlijk ongeveer zo uitzien:<br />
<br />
klierekruid16 is elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl * Chatwereld: http://www.chatwereld.com<br />
klierekruid16 is a registered nick<br />
klierekruid16 on #lounge @#iktreitergraag #flierefluiters<br />
klierekruid16 using eu.chat4all.org Chat4All<br />
klierekruid16 End of /WHOIS list.<br />
<br />
De regel:<br />
klierekruid16 is a registered nick<br />
kan ontbreken indien de gebruiker zijn nickname niet geregistreerd heeft, of momenteel niet is ingelogd via NickServ.<br />
<br />
=== Exact ===<br />
Als je de persoon met exact die nickname, ident en hostname wilt bannen, tik je:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid16!elma@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
Dan kan niemand vanaf die hostname, met dat ident en die nickname in de kamer komen. Dit is over het algemeen niet echt effectief, aangezien de persoon alleen maar zijn nickname of ident hoeft aan te passen.<br />
<br />
=== Nickname ===<br />
Als je iedereen met de nickname klierekruid16 wilt bannen:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid16!*@*<br />
Je kan je voorstellen dat ook deze ban niet echt effectief is, aangezien de gebande chatter alleen maar zijn/haar nickname hoeft te veranderen om de ban te omzeilen.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard ===<br />
De * (asterisk/sterretje) tekens die je hierboven ziet zijn zogenaamde 'wildcards', wat betekent dat de chat dan niet kijkt naar wat er op die plek staat. Het betekent eigenlijk dus zoiets als "alles mag op deze plek".<br /><br />
In het bovenstaande nickname voorbeeld betekent het dus dat het niet uitmaakt wat de ident of hostname van de gebruiker is. Elk deel en subdeel van het "nickname!ident@host.name" en "nickname!ident@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP" formaat kan vervangen worden met een wildcard '''*'''.<br />
<br />
=== Wildcard nickname ===<br />
De wildcards zou je dus kunnen gebruiken om bepaalde kwetsende nicknames niet toe te staan, bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *eikel*!*@*<br />
Dit betekent dat niemand met ''"eikel"'' in hun nickname de kamer in kan komen. Dus iemand met de nickname "jan_is_een_eikel" komt er niet in, maar ook "eikelboom" en "Heikel" komen er niet in. Pas dus op dat je niet een te brede wildcard ban zet.<br />
<br />
=== Ident ===<br />
Als je iedereen met de ident elma wilt bannen, tik je:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!elma@*<br />
Ook deze ban is niet altijd even effectief, aangezien de gebruiker alleen zijn ident maar hoeft te veranderen.<br />
Houdt er overigens ook rekening mee dat sommige gebruikers een extra ~ (tilde-teken) vóór hun ident krijgen, om aan te geven dat zij geen zogenaamde [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident 'identd'] service draaien. Deze ~ zou je dan ook bij de ident ban moeten schrijven, of vervangen door een * wildcard.<br /><br />
<br />
Aangezien sommige IRC chat programma's automatisch de ident instellen, zou je op die manier bepaalde clients kunnen weren uit je kanaal. De usecase hiervoor is echter nogal beperkt. Als voorbeeld is er bijvoorbeeld de client "Quasselcore", welk de ident standaard instelt op "quasselcor". Deze client zou je dus kunnen bannen met:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!quasselcor@*<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!~quasselcor@*<br />
Echter, in de praktijk is er geen reden om dit programma te weren.<br />
<br />
=== Hostname ===<br />
Een effectievere ban is er een op ''hostname''. Een hostname is over het algemeen namelijk niet makkelijk te veranderen voor de gemiddelde gebruiker, aangezien providers hostnames en IP-adressen vaak voor langere tijd aan 1 internet aansluiting koppelen.<br />
Als je iedereen met hostname Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl wilt bannen:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Helaas zijn er nog steeds wel providers die dynamische hosts/IPs uitgeven die veranderen bij elke keer dat de persoon zijn modem herstart, of opnieuw inbelt.<br />
Is dit het geval bij jouw vervelende chatter die je wilt bannen en krijgt hij/zij elke keer een iets anders IP of hostname, dan kan je ervoor kiezen om het veranderende deel te 'wildcarden', kortom te vervangen met een *.<br /><br />
Let op! Dit kan een deel van legitieme chatters ook uit je kanaal weren! <br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
zou bijvoorbeeld alle gebruikers die quicknet.nl als provider hebben, weren uit je kanaal.<br /><br />
Handiger zou misschien zijn om dit te combineren met een ident ban, zoals bijvoorbeeld iedereen met een ident die begint met "elma" en quicknet.nl als provider:<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b *!elma*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
of iedereen met een nickname die begint met klierekruid en quicknet.nl als provider<br />
/mode #flierefluiters +b klierekruid*!*@*.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Als je iemand met een specifiek IP of hostname wilt bannen uit je kamer, dan tik je dus:<br />
/mode #naamVanKamer +b *!*@hostname.van.persoon<br />
<br />
== Akick ==<br />
'''Let op, normale channel bans ''(gezet met /mode #kanaal +b)'' verdwijnen zodra de laatste gebruiker de kamer verlaat (en de kamer dus leeg is)!'''<br />
<br />
Wil je de bans ook bewaren als de kamer leeg is geweest, dan kan je zogenaamde 'akicks' (auto-kickbans) plaatsen via ChanServ.<br /><br />
Let op, hiervoor '''moet je kamer wel geregistreerd zijn'''. (Op http://www.chat4all.be/nl_eigenchatkamer.html kan je lezen hoe je je kamer registreert.)<br />
<br />
Het plaatsen van een AKick kan met dezelfde banmasks, die je in het volgende commando moet plaatsen:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #NaamVanKamer ADD nickname!ident@host.name<br />
<br />
Dus om terug te grijpen op ons eerder voorbeeld, bijvoorbeeld om iedereen van Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl uit je kamer #flierefluiters permanent te auto-kickbannen, tik je:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Of, als je het op IP (laten we zeggen dat 192.168.2.1 het IP is) wilt doen kan dat ook, bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@192.168.2.1<br />
<br />
Of met een masked IP:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD *!*@1C238BB5.94BD3981.8EF3B903.IP<br />
<br />
Als de persoon een geregistreerde nickname heeft, kan je die ook op de AKick lijst plaatsen:<br />
/CHANSERV AKICK #flierefluiters ADD klierekruid16<br />
Als er dan iemand de kamer binnenkomt die via NickServ zich geïdentificeerd heeft voor de nickname klierekruid16, dan wordt hij automatisch gekickbanned. Dit kan handig zijn als een gebruiker meerdere nicknames gegroepeerd heeft via NICKSERV GROUP en diverse verschillende VHosts heeft voor iedere nick in de group.<br />
<br />
== BotServ ==<br />
Als je kanaal geregistreerd is, en je hebt een BotServ bot in je kamer met de FANTASY optie (standaard) aan, dan kan je ook het ''!kb'' commando gebruiken om iemand te kickbannen.<br />
De BotServ bot zal dan automatisch een ban zetten op de hostname van de opgegeven persoon.<br />
!kb klierekruid16<br />
zal dus een ban zetten op *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl<br />
<br />
Je kan deze hostban ook op de AKick lijst zetten met het ''!akick'' commando.<br />
!akick add *!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl Klier<br />
in je kanaal zal een akick plaatsen op ''*!*@Chat4all-C42E1D3E.quicknet.nl'' met de kick-message "Klier". Momenteel is het helaas alleen mogelijk om een enkel woord als kick reden op te geven.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=2829Main Page2012-02-22T18:07:20Z<p>FiXato: Added info about making the wiki read-only</p>

<div>==[[Chat4All]] Goes Wiki==<br />
<br />
Since we are with a steady userbase, we would like to provide some help to our chatters. Of course it's impossible for us ([[IRCops]]) to assist you 24/7 in <nowiki>#</nowiki>[[help]]. That's why the idea for the wiki was born. [http://wikipedia.org MediaWiki] is a nice tool to help us write manuals and [[FAQ]]'s and such more.<br />
<br />
Should you still have any questions after reading this Wiki, please check our [[FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] to see if your question gets answered there, or check [http://www.chat4all.net/manual/manual-services_eng.html our manual]. Still can't find what you need? Visit us in the IRC support channel, or open a support ticket at http://support.chat4all.net/<br />
<br />
==Read-only==<br />
As of the 22nd of February 2012 we unfortunately had to make this wiki read-only due to the increasing amount of spam and abuse, and sadly the lack of contributions from actual users.<br />
We still welcome people to contribute to this project though, so if you want to help out, please contact us in #help or #lounge on our IRC network.<br />

== SSL ==<br />
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. Short explanation: it's a more secure way of establishing a connection to a server.<br /><br />
It is based on encrypting all data-traffic with an encryption key. <br /><br />
SSL only works if all involved parties support SSL connections, because else one of the involved parties would not understand what was 'said' by the other. Since the Chat4All chatserver supports SSL connections as of 2004, you can now also connect to us with an SSL capable client on ports +6697 and +7001.<br />
<br />
== Benefits ==<br />
In general, chatters would not really need SSL most of the time, unless they have the need for some extra privacy, or suspect that someone on their 'subnet' is eavesdropping, especially if it concerns exchanging passwords (for instance when logging into nickserv or chanserv).<br />
<br />
With normal connections, anyone who has 'hacked' your computer, or is on the same subnet, can 'listen' to all packages that are sent over your line in your network with utilities such as Ethercap and Ethereal and read them just as the plain text that is sent over it; thus having the possibility to hijack your passwords and accounts.<br /><br />
Example result using Ethereal on a '''non'''-encrypted connection:<br /><br />
[[Image:Ssl_unencrypted_cropped.png|Image:Ssl_unencrypted.png]] (click to enlarge)<br />
<br />
However, when someone is eavesdropping on your line while you use SSL, they will only be able to see the encrypted data, which will just look like mumblejumble to them, since they have no easy way to decrypt it.<br /><br />

=== mIRC description ===<br />
Let's quote mIRC.com for some more detailed description:<br />
<blockquote>«Why the need for secure connections?<br />
mIRC is used by many organizations that need to communicate over secure connections, everything from corporate to governmental. Various educational organizations that provide online teaching also require communications to be secure for privacy purposes. Apart from that, many individuals around the world also depend on secure communications, whether for political, business, or other reasons. At the end of the day, it really depends on your own personal needs. If it’s not something that you think you need, then you probably don’t!»</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Howto ==<br />
In this section we will describe how you can install OpenSSL support on your pc and set it up in your client, and how to connect to our SSL capable port on our server.<br />
<br />
=== Installation for Windows ===<br />
How to use SSL depends on the client you use, as some IRC-Clients might not have SSL support at all, while others depend on SSL libaries (such as OpenSSL) available in your operating system, or in the program folder, or have built-in SSL support.<br />
Since most people on our network seem to use mIRC, I'll explain what is needed to get mIRC working with SSL.<br />
<br />
First download the latest release of mIRC, which at time of writing is 7.19, even though SSL was already added back in 6.14.<br />
<br />
After that you need the OpenSSL libraries. The best is to install the latest version of OpenSSL. The [http://www.mirc.com/ssl.html SSL page on mIRC.com] for instance usually offers quite recent installer of OpenSSL, however recommended is to go to [http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html OpenSSL.org's binaries page] which offers links to site(s) that have semi-official installers.<br />
<br />
On every Windows machine the [http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_0e.exe Win32 OpenSSL Light Installer (v1.0.0.5)] is a good recent option (at time of writing). The Windows 64-bit version on that same site however does not seem compatible with mIRC.<br />
<br />
If you don't feel like installing, you can also just download a [http://chat4all.fixato.net/resources/wiki/OpenSSL-Win32-(lib_and_ssl_eay32_dlls)-1.0.0.3.zip zip-file with version 1.0.0.3 of ''libeay32.dll'' and ''ssleay32.dll''] from FiXato's page.<br />
<br />
The easiest is to put the SSL libraries in the Windows System directory (C:\Windows\System32 on most systems), since other (supporting) applications will also be able to use the OpenSSL libraries then. The Windows installer already offers the option to have the libraries copied there automatically. If you only intend to use OpenSSL with mIRC, then you can also just place the ''libeay32.dll'' and ''ssleay32.dll'' files in the mIRC program directory. <br />
<br />
'''''Pro-Tip:''' If you use mIRC as a portable app (taking it with you on a USB memory stick for instance), it is also recommended to put a copy of the dll files in the mIRC program directory, since it will allow you to use mIRC with SSL on computers where OpenSSL isn't installed.<br />
<br />
When you start mIRC after this, an extra tab or button marked 'SSL' will be available in the mIRC options under the ''Connect'' category in the ''Options' subcategory.<br />
<br />
=== Importing the CA certificate ===<br />
This step is optional, but is quite recommended.<br />
<br />
We have generated our own Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate which which we sign our SSL certificates. This will provide the following:<br />
# You can be certain that the Chat4All staff has generated and signed the certificate being presented.<br />
# IRC clients should fully accept the certificate since it no longer is a simple self-signed certificate.<br />
# The certificate will no longer be rejected because it is signed by an unknown/untrusted Certificate Authority.<br />
# The certificate will automatically be trusted because you trust the CA.<br />
# We can change/renew the certificate for as long as the CA hasn't expired.<br />
# Clients that support a strict SSL verification will now also automatically accept our certificates. This way you'll be informed if suddenly something changes about the certificate.<br />
You can [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#CA_download|Download the certificate]] which will link to a HTTPS link within our chat4all.org domain.<br />
<br />
For details on how to import the CA into your IRC client, please read our separate [[SSL_CA_import_instructions|SSL CA Import instructions article]].<br />
This includes instructions on how to include it into [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#mIRC|mIRC]], [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#weechat|weechat]] and possibly other clients.<br />
<br />
=== Connect ===<br />
To now connect to our server using a SSL connection, is now possible through one of these two ways.<br /><br />
The first is by the direct command:<br />
'''/server irc.chat4all.net +7001'''<br />
Which will connect to our server at port 7001 (don't forget the '''''+'''''sign though, since that indicates it is a SSL port.)<br />
<br />
The second way is to edit the server information.<br /><br />
From the ''File''-menu, you should select the '''Select Server''' (''alt-e'') option, which will open the mIRC Options at the Select Server tab.<br />
There, select the Chat4All server from the server list (or add it yourself with the ADD button), and hit the ''Edit'' button.<br />
<br />
It will probably read something like on the screenshot at http://chat4all.fixato.net/resources/wiki/mIRC-Chat4All-SSL_Server_Settings.jpg although the exact names and ports listed might be a little different.<br /><br />
Now you can edit the port-range to either also include the +7001 port, or just replace all of the ports listed there with +7001 (again, don't forget the plus-sign).<br />
<br />
Another way is to instead of Editting, Adding a new serverlisting which you can name something like Chat4All_ServerSSL and which will have just the +7001 port and the same ''group''-name as your regular Chat4all connection.<br /><br />
When finished adding or editting, hit the Connect button to connect to the server :)<br />
<br />
== Extras ==<br />
When you are connected using a SSL connection, you can now join channels that have the channelmode +z<br /><br />
If a channel has the channelmode +z, it means that only people using a SSL connection, can join that channel.<br /><br />
A channelowner can set his room to +z with<br />
''/mode #replaceWithYourChannelname +z''<br />
This currently can only be set while there are no non-SSL users left in the channel. This is something that will change in an upcoming server-update though, with the addition of the channelmode +Z.<br />
<br />
A new mode is now available to SSL users: ''user''mode +Z. <br /><br />
This will block all queries (private messages) from '''non-SSL''' users.<br />
This mode can be enabled using<br />
''/mode replaceWithYourNickname +Z''<br />
<br />
You will also receive the ''user''mode +z, which means you are on a SSL connection.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=SSL&diff=2815SSL2012-02-15T22:56:14Z<p>FiXato: /* Importing the CA certificate */</p>

<br />
First download the latest release of mIRC, which at time of writing is 7.19, even though SSL was already added back in 6.14.<br />
<br />
After that you need the OpenSSL libraries. The best is to install the latest version of OpenSSL. The [http://www.mirc.com/ssl.html SSL page on mIRC.com] for instance usually offers quite recent installer of OpenSSL, however recommended is to go to [http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html OpenSSL.org's binaries page] which offers links to site(s) that have semi-official installers.<br />
<br />
On every Windows machine the [http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_0e.exe Win32 OpenSSL Light Installer (v1.0.0.5)] is a good recent option (at time of writing). The Windows 64-bit version on that same site however does not seem compatible with mIRC.<br />
<br />
If you don't feel like installing, you can also just download a [http://chat4all.fixato.net/resources/wiki/OpenSSL-Win32-(lib_and_ssl_eay32_dlls)-1.0.0.3.zip zip-file with version 1.0.0.3 of ''libeay32.dll'' and ''ssleay32.dll''] from FiXato's page.<br />
<br />
The easiest is to put the SSL libraries in the Windows System directory (C:\Windows\System32 on most systems), since other (supporting) applications will also be able to use the OpenSSL libraries then. The Windows installer already offers the option to have the libraries copied there automatically. If you only intend to use OpenSSL with mIRC, then you can also just place the ''libeay32.dll'' and ''ssleay32.dll'' files in the mIRC program directory. <br />
<br />
'''''Pro-Tip:''' If you use mIRC as a portable app (taking it with you on a USB memory stick for instance), it is also recommended to put a copy of the dll files in the mIRC program directory, since it will allow you to use mIRC with SSL on computers where OpenSSL isn't installed.<br />
<br />
When you start mIRC after this, an extra tab or button marked 'SSL' will be available in the mIRC options under the ''Connect'' category in the ''Options' subcategory.<br />
<br />
=== Importing the CA certificate ===<br />
This step is optional, but is quite recommended.<br />
<br />
We have generated our own Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate which which we sign our SSL certificates. This will provide the following:<br />
# You can be certain that the Chat4All staff has generated and signed the certificate being presented.<br />
# IRC clients should fully accept the certificate since it no longer is a simple self-signed certificate.<br />
# The certificate will no longer be rejected because it is signed by an unknown/untrusted Certificate Authority.<br />
# The certificate will automatically be trusted because you trust the CA.<br />
# We can change/renew the certificate for as long as the CA hasn't expired.<br />
# Clients that support a strict SSL verification will now also automatically accept our certificates. This way you'll be informed if suddenly something changes about the certificate.<br />
You can [[#CA_download|Download the certificate]] which will link to a HTTPS link within our chat4all.org domain.<br />
<br />
For details on how to import the CA into your IRC client, please read our separate [[SSL_CA_import_instructions|SSL CA Import instructions article]].<br />
This includes instructions on how to include it into [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#mIRC|mIRC]], [[SSL_CA_import_instructions#weechat|weechat]] and possibly other clients.<br />
<br />
=== Connect ===<br />
To now connect to our server using a SSL connection, is now possible through one of these two ways.<br /><br />
The first is by the direct command:<br />
'''/server irc.chat4all.net +7001'''<br />
Which will connect to our server at port 7001 (don't forget the '''''+'''''sign though, since that indicates it is a SSL port.)<br />
<br />
The second way is to edit the server information.<br /><br />
From the ''File''-menu, you should select the '''Select Server''' (''alt-e'') option, which will open the mIRC Options at the Select Server tab.<br />
There, select the Chat4All server from the server list (or add it yourself with the ADD button), and hit the ''Edit'' button.<br />
<br />
It will probably read something like on the screenshot at http://chat4all.fixato.net/resources/wiki/mIRC-Chat4All-SSL_Server_Settings.jpg although the exact names and ports listed might be a little different.<br /><br />
Now you can edit the port-range to either also include the +7001 port, or just replace all of the ports listed there with +7001 (again, don't forget the plus-sign).<br />
<br />
Another way is to instead of Editting, Adding a new serverlisting which you can name something like Chat4All_ServerSSL and which will have just the +7001 port and the same ''group''-name as your regular Chat4all connection.<br /><br />
When finished adding or editting, hit the Connect button to connect to the server :)<br />
<br />
== Extras ==<br />
When you are connected using a SSL connection, you can now join channels that have the channelmode +z<br /><br />
If a channel has the channelmode +z, it means that only people using a SSL connection, can join that channel.<br /><br />
A channelowner can set his room to +z with<br />
''/mode #replaceWithYourChannelname +z''<br />
This currently can only be set while there are no non-SSL users left in the channel. This is something that will change in an upcoming server-update though, with the addition of the channelmode +Z.<br />
<br />
A new mode is now available to SSL users: ''user''mode +Z. <br /><br />
This will block all queries (private messages) from '''non-SSL''' users.<br />
This mode can be enabled using<br />
''/mode replaceWithYourNickname +Z''<br />
<br />
You will also receive the ''user''mode +z, which means you are on a SSL connection.</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=IRC-Client&diff=2787IRC-Client2011-11-22T22:02:29Z<p>FiXato: /* weechat */ Added extra note about command escaping.</p>

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />

I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

<div>= What is an IRC Client =<br />
An IRC client is an application/program used to connect to an IRC server. It is used to communicate with other users on an IRC network.<br />
There are all sorts of IRC Clients, ranging from extensive standalone applications that run on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer, to minimalistic clients that use Java, Android or iOS on your mobile phone, or applets and widgets that run within your browser using just HTML, CSS and Javascript/AJAX or Flash or Java. <br />

Platform and SSL support taken from [https://bitchx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitchx/trunk/INSTALL BitchX INSTALL doc in SVN trunk].<br />
<br />
Its main website is rather outdated. The SourceForge project page looks more useful.<br />
Be aware that some distributions, such as Slackware, have removed BitchX from their repositories due to unresolved security issues.<br />
----<br />
I couldn't get connected to an SSL port though. It is possible though that I did something wrong or forgot to compile SSL support into it. --[[User:FiXato|FiXato]] 05:56, 28 January 2011 (CET)<br />

[[NL/VHost|Nederlandse VHost tutorial]] (Also available as an [[Vhost|English version of VHost tutorial]])<br />
__TOC__<br />
== Wat zijn Hostnames ==<br />
Laten we eerst eens uitleggen wat een '''Host''' is.<br />
<br />
Iedereen die met het internet verbonden is heeft een '''IP-nummer''' en vaak ook een '''Hostname'''. Hiermee identificeert de gebruiker zich op het ''World Wide Web''.<br />
Een ''IP-nummer'' is een reeks van vier octalen gescheiden door punten, welk samen een '''uniek getal''' vormen waaronder je verbinding met internet bekend staat. Zie het als je postcode en huisnummer voor het internet. Zonder dat kun je geen enkele informatie via het internet ontvangen en kun je ook geen verbinding maken met de chatserver.<br />
<br />
Omdat ''IP-nummers'' niet voor iedereen zo gemakkelijk te onthouden zijn, werden de ''hostnames'' bedacht. Dit zijn '''unieke namen''', op basis van ''alfa-numerieke tekst'' dus, waarmee verbinding op het internet kan worden gemaakt. Ze zijn meestal gebaseerd op de domeinnaam van de '''Internet Service Provider''' via welke jouw internetverbinding draait.<br />
Voorbeeld: '''''abds3da.dialup.myhost.net'''''<br />
<br />
== Wat zijn VHosts ==<br />
Nu weten we wat een ''IP-nummer'' en een ''Hostname'' is, maar wat is dan een '''VHost'''?<br /><br />
Een ''VHost'' is een '''Virtuele Host''' (op sommige netwerken ook bekend als een '''Vanity Host''' (een 'ijdel' host)).<br /><br />
Virtueel betekent dat iets slechts ''schijnbaar'' bestaat, het is niet echt aanwezig.<br /><br />
<br />
Iedereen die verbinding maakt met ons chatnetwerk, krijgt standaard de usermode ''(gebruikersmode)'' '''+x''' toegewezen. <br />
Deze usermode versleutelt een deel van je hostname om je privacy te beschermen, waardoor dit dus al een vorm van een virtuele hostname is.<br /><br />
Bijvoorbeeld ''abds3da.dialup.myhost.net'' zou er dan uit kunnen zien als ''Chat4all-dsad7.dialup.myhost.net'' en daardoor zien andere chatters standaard je echte hostname of ''IP-adres'' niet, waardoor dus een zekere privacy gewaarborgd is.<br /><br />
<br />
Zo'n Chat4all-hostname ziet er niet helemaal geweldig uit, vind je wel?<br />
Zou je niet liever iets hebben in de vorm van '''Mijnnaam@de.grootste.lolbroek.op.aarde'''?<br /><br />
Daarom hebben we de '''[[HostServ]]''' service opgenomen in ons netwerk.<br />
Deze servicemodule stelt ons in staat om aangepaste ''VHosts'' in te stellen voor ''geregistreerde'' gebruikers.<br />
<br />
== Hoe aanvragen ==<br />
''"Cool! Hoe kan ik er een voor mezelf krijgen?"''<br /><br />
Dat gaat heel gemakkelijk. Eerst moet je zorgen dat je jouw nickname hebt geregistreerd. Als je dat nog niet gedaan hebt kun je de stap-voor-stap handleiding volgen via [[RegistreerNick|Registreer Nickname]].<br /><br />
Daarna moet je beslissen welke ''hostname'' je graag wilt gebruiken als ''VHost''.<br /><br />
<br />
Je moet je echter wel aan een paar ''regels'' houden. Meer informatie over deze regels lees je onder ''[[#VHost_Voorwaarden|VHost voorwaarden]]''.<br />
Als je besloten hebt dat je een ''VHost'' (en eventueel ook een vaste ''ident'', het gedeelte vóór de ''@hostname'' in een ''/whois nick'' query) wilt, hoef je alleen maar een ''VHost ticket'' aan te maken via ons [http://support.chat4all.net/index.php?act=tickets&code=open Chat4All Ondersteuning Systeem] met daarin je geregistreerde nickname en de VHost die je wilt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bijvoorbeeld:<br />
----<div style="color: #552222;"><br />
Hallo,<br />
Ik zou graag de VHost Ik@mijn.host.rules voor mijn nickname EigenNickname willen hebben.<br />
Bij voorbaat dank,<br />
Ik<br />
</div>----<br />
<br />
Overigens kan je het nu ook online via IRC aanvragen!<br />
Nadat je [http://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php/RegistreerNick#Stap_Vier:_Blijven_Inloggen ingelogd bent voor je nickname], kan je het volgende commando typen om een VHost aan te vragen:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST ident@mijn.gewenste.virtuele.host.naam<br />
''waar '''ident''' uiteraard vervangen dient te worden met de ident van je keuze, hetzelfde ook geldend voor '''mijn.gewenste.virtuele.host.naam''' welk vervangen dient te worden met de hostnaam van je keuze.''<br />
Bijvoorbeeld:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST Ik@mijn.hostnaam.is.het.beste<br />
of als je een zogenaamde 'wildcard'-ident wilt:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST mijn.hostnaam.is.het.beste<br />
<br />
== VHost Voorwaarden ==<br />
# Een ''VHost'' heeft de vorm van ''ident@host.naam''<br />
# De ''ident'' hoeft niet persé ingevuld te worden (dan wordt de ''ident'' waarmee je inlogt gebruikt).<br />Als je voor een vaste ''ident'' kiest, dan heeft deze een '''maximum van 9 karakters''' waarin '''geen''' andere speciale tekens dan een punt (''' .''' ) mogen voorkomen.<br />
# De ''hostname'' mag '''geen''' andere speciale tekens bevatten dan onderstreping/laag liggend streepje (''' _''' ), koppelteken (''' -''' ) of punt (''' .''' ).<br />
# De ''hostname'' moet bestaan uit ten minste '''twee delen''', gescheiden door een punt ( . ).<br />Voorbeeld: ''mijn.host'' of ''is.de.beste''<br />
# De ''hostname'' mag geen geldig, geregistreerd domein zijn, tenzij je kunt bewijzen dat je de '''rechtmatige eigenaar''' bent van dat domein.<br />Deze regel bestaat om mogelijke handelsmerk rechtsproblemen te voorkomen.<br />Verificatie van eigenaarschap dient te geschieden via een e-mailadres dat op een whois-lookup van het domeinnaam voorkomt onder ‘owner’ of ‘registrant’. Overige manieren van verificatie dienen in overleg te geschieden.<br />
# De ''VHost'' hoeft niet te eindigen met een bestaand '''Top Level Domain''' zoals '''.net''' of '''.com'''; ''we hebben dat zelfs liever niet!''<br />
# De ''VHost'' mag geen bezwarende of voor andere gebruikers beledigende woorden bevatten. Dus geen ''VHost'' verzoeken zoals ''jullie.zijn.allemaal.idioten''. Omdat we buitenlandse termen niet goed kunnen controleren, ontmoedigen we ook VHosts in andere talen dan ''Nederlands'', ''Engels'', ''Duits'' of ''Frans''.<br />
<br />
== Activeren VHost ==<br />
Nadat je ''VHost'' is gezet door een ''[[IRCOps|IRC Operator]]'', ontvang je een bevestigings-e-mail met daarin de informatie over je ''VHost'' en de basiscommando's van ''HostServ''.<br /><br />
Om je ''VHost'' te activeren hoef je alleen maar te typen:<br />
''/msg HostServ ON''<br />
<br />
== Deactiveren VHost ==<br />
Als je tijdelijk geen gebruik wenst te maken van je ''VHost'', kun je deze deactiveren met het volgende commando:<br />
''/msg HostServ OFF''<br />
<br />
(En eventueel kan je daarna tijdelijk weer je standaard server-hostencryptie inschakelen met<br />
<br />
''/mode '''JouwNickname''' +x''<br />
<br />
waar je '''JouwNickname''' vervangt met je daadwerkelijke nickname. Hiermee wordt een gedeelte van je hostname weer met Chat4All- verborgen.<br />
<br />
== Groeperen VHost ==<br />
Als je een ''[[NickServ]]'' gebruikersgroep hebt en je wilt de ''VHost'' voor alle nicknames in je groep hetzelfde hebben, kun je deze ''VHost'' gelijktijdig aan '''alle''' nicknames in je ''groep'' toekennen. Zorg ervoor dat je de nickname gebruikt waar de ''VHost'' aan is toegekend. (Je kunt je naam veranderen via '''/nick MijnNickname'''). Om de ''VHost'' te zetten voor alle nicknames in je groep typ je: <br />
''/msg HostServ Group''<br />

[[Vhost|English VHost Tutorial]] ''([[NL/VHost|Nederlandse versie]] kan hier gevonden worden)''<br />
__TOC__<br />
== What are Hostnames ==<br />
First of all, let's look at what a '''Host''' is.<br />
<br />
Everyone connected to the internet has a '''Hostname''' or '''IP'''. This is to identify the user on the World Wide Web.<br /><br />
An IP is a ''unique number'' to identify your connection to the internet. Without it, you couldn't receive any information on the internet, or connect to the chat-server.<br />
<br />
But, IP-numbers aren't easy to remember for everyone, thus '''hostnames''' were invented. These are text-based unique identificational names for internet-connections.<br /><br />
They are usually based on the domainname of the ''Internet Service Provider'' your use.<br /><br />
For example: '''abds3da.dialup.myhost.net'''<br />
<br />
== What are VHosts ==<br />
Now we know what an ''IP'' and a ''Hostname'' is, but what is a '''VHost''' then?<br /><br />
A '''VHost''' is a '''Virtual Host''' (or also known as '''Vanity Host''' on some other networks).<br /><br />
Virtual means something simulated, it is not really there.<br /><br />
<br />
Everyone who connect to our chatnetwork, gets the ''usermode +x'' by default, this usermode encrypts a part of your hostname for your privacy, and thus creates a form of virtual hostname in itself.<br /><br />
For instance, '''abds3da.dialup.myhost.net''' could end up looking like '''Chat4all-95B63626.dsad7.dialup.myhost.net''' and thus other chatters will not see your real ''hostname'' or ''IP-address'' by default, thereby guarantueeing some kind of privacy.<br />
By the way, the same applies to IP-addresses that do not resolve to a hostname; they get turned into something like '''EFCF9B6B.E0D8BD9C.AC4B4DFE.IP'''. Hex-encoded octets with 1 octet replaced by '''.IP'''.<br />
<br />
However, such an obfuscated host name doesn't look very nice, now does it?<br /><br />
Wouldn't you like to have something like '''Yourname@the.funniest.person.on.earth''' or '''I@m.awesome'''?<br /><br />
That's why we've incorporated the '''HostServ''' service on our network.<br /><br />
This service-module allows us to set customisable ''VHosts'' for registered users.<br />
<br />
== How to request ==<br />
''"Cool! How can I get one myself?"''<br /><br />
Well, it is quite simple, first you have to make sure you have registered your nickname. If you haven't, follow this step-by-step tutorial called [[RegisterNickname|Register Nickname]].<br /><br />
Afterwards, you have to decide on a hostname you wish to use for your vhost.<br /><br />
We have some small rules about this though. For more info about them, read the section that follows.<br />
<br />
Once you've thought of a vhost (and ident if wanted), there are 2 ways to request a VHost:<br />
<br />
1. The simplest way would be to use our HostServ service while you are online on IRC.<br />
After you have [[RegisterNickname#Step_Three:_Remembering_to_Identify|identified for your nickname]], you can type the following command to register a VHost:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST ident@replace.with.your.desired.virtual.host.name<br />
''again, '''ident''' needs to be replaced with the ident of choice, and '''replace.with.your.desired.virtual.host.name''' needs to be replaced with the hostname of choice.''<br />
For instance:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST me@my.host.rules<br />
Or if you want to have a wildcard ident:<br />
/msg HostServ REQUEST my.host.rules<br />
<br />
2. An alternative way would be to do it through our Support Desk; all you have to do is open a ''VHost ticket'' at our [http://support.chat4all.net/index.php?act=tickets&code=open Chat4All Support Desk] containing your nickname and requested vhost.<br />
<br />
For instance:<br />
----<div style="color: #552222;"><br />
HI, I would like to request the vhost ''Me@my.host.rules'' for my nickname ''YourNickname''<br /><br />
<br />
thank you in advance,<br /><br />
Me<br /><br />
</div>----<br />
<br />
== VHost Conditions ==<br />
#A vhost is set in the form of '''''ident@host.name'''''<br />
#The ident can be either unset (allowing you to choose your own ident on connect), or a static one consisting of a '''maximum of 9 characters''' of which none may be special characters other than a dot (''' . ''').<br />
#The hostname may not contain any special characters other than hyphens ( '''-''' ) and dot ( '''.''' ). And even though underscores ( '''_''' ) are normally valid in a hostname, our services have problems accepting them as vhost; thus underscores are also not allowed.<br />
#The hostname must exist of at least two parts, separated by a dot. For instance '''''my.host''''' or '''''is.the.best'''''<br />
#The hostname may '''not''' be a valid, registered domain, unless you can submit proof you are the rightful owner of that domain.<br />We have this rule due to possible legal trademark issues.<br />Verification shall occur by sending an e-mail from an e-mailaddress that is listed on a whois-lookup of the domain in question. Other ways of verification are open for discussion.<br />
#The host doesn't have to end in a valid '''Top Level Domain''' such as '''.net''' or '''.com''','' we even prefer if they don't!''<br />
#The vhost may not contain any incriminating words or be abusive towards others. So no vhost requests like ''you.all.are.idiots''.<br />Since it is hard to check foreign terms for abusive content in a language you don't understand, we discourage the use of vhosts in languages other than Dutch, English, French or German.<br />
<br />
== Activating VHost ==<br />
After your VHost has been set by an [[IRCops|IRC Operator]], you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing info about your vhost and the basic commands for HostServ.<br />
<br />
To activate your vhost, all you have to type is:<br />
''/msg HostServ ON''<br />
<br />
== Deactivating VHost ==<br />
If you temporarily don't wish to use your vhost, you can deactivate it with the following command:<br />
''/msg HostServ OFF''<br />
<br />
Please not that this will also disable your standard server-hostencryption. To re-enable the default server-hostencryption, type:<br />
''/mode '''YourNickname''' +x''<br />
<br />
where you replace '''YourNickname''' with your actual nickname. This will hide part of your hostname again with Chat4All-*<br />
<br />
== Grouping VHost ==<br />
If you have a NickServ group and want the VHost to apply for all the nicknames in your group, you can set it for all the nicknames in your group.<br />
First make sure you are using the nickname that has a VHost assigned to it. (You can do it with ''/nick MyNickname'').<br />
To set it for all the nicks in your group, type:<br />
''/msg HostServ Group''</div>FiXatohttps://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php?title=SSL_CA_import_instructions&diff=2751SSL CA import instructions2011-09-21T21:05:57Z<p>FiXato: Added reference to our CA cert.</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:EN]]<br />
This article describes in detail how you can import our Certificate Authority Certificate into your IRC client. If the client you are using is not listed, please contact us in #help and we'll see if we can find out how to import it for you.<br />
<br />
=CA download=<br />
You can download the CA certificate from [https://www.chat4all.org/ircd-certificates/index.html our secure website].<br />
This should link you to https://www.chat4all.org/ircd-certificates/chat4all-ca.pem<br />
<br />
=mIRC=<br />
Screenshot for reference: http://vbprog.fixato.net/ss/irc/mirc_ca.PNG<br />
#[[#CA_download|Download the certificate]]<br />
#Save it somewhere you can easily find it. 'My Documents' or the mIRC directory are good options.<br />
#If you are already using a trusted authorities file for one or more different networks, then you need to [[#Append_CAs_in_Windows|append the downloaded certificate]] to the existing trusted authorities file. If you need a reminder on where this file is located; the trusted authorities button has the path in it.<br />
#Within mIRC, go to: ''Tools'' > ''Options'', then in the left list navigate to ''Connect'' > ''Options''.<br />
#Provided you have installed SSL as described above, there should be an SSL button here. Click that<br />
#Click on the empty button under 'Trusted authorities file'.<br />
#Select the file you downloaded, and you are done. A reload of mIRC is not required; you should be able to connect.<br />
<br />
=Xchat=<br />
Note: Xchat does not have an in-client method for checking CAs; it uses OpenSSL's paths to read CAs. See [http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5529] for the source of this information.<br />
[[#CA_download|Download the certificate]], then follow the directions specific to your OS.<br /><br />
==Windows builds==<br />
Screenshot for reference: http://vbprog.fixato.net/ss/irc/xchat_ca.PNG<br />
#Save the CA certificate somewhere you can easily find (''%appdata%\X-Chat 2'' or ''My Documents'' are good choices)<br />
#Right click My Computer and hit Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and hit Environment Variables.<br />
#Create a User Variable (or System if you prefer it to be available systemwide should you have a multiuser computer) with the following attributes:<br />
##Variable: SSL_CERT_FILE<br />
##Value: C:\Path\Where\You\Saved\Your\Cert.pem<br />
<br />
It is recommended to reload Xchat since you are modifying an environment variable, and you should no longer see this:<br />
* * Verify E: unable to get local issuer certificate.? (20)<br />
If not, then Xchat successfully recognized the CA.<br />
<br />
==Linux builds==<br />
#Install the [[#CA_download|the certificate]] to the '''certs''' directory in the location given by openssl version -d and Xchat should pick it up.<br />
#There seems to be no way to do this on a per-user basis so that root access is not required (or at least I cannot find it)<br />
<br />
=weechat=<br />
#Locate your current '''trusted authorities file''' in WeeChat: <br />
/set weechat.network.gnutls_ca_file<br />
#This will probably mention ''"%h/ssl/CAs.pem"'', which means it's stored in ''ssl/CAs.pem'' in the weechat homedir (''~/.weechat'' by default)<br />
#[[#CA_download|Download the certificate]]<br />
#Save it in ''~/.weechat/ssl/CAs.pem'' or [[#Append_CAs_in_Linux|append it to this file]]<br />
#Set the ''ssl_verify'' option for your Chat4All server entry to "on":<br />
/set irc.server.Chat4All.ssl_verify on<br />
Now you should be able to connect to our SSL enabled ports without problems.<br />
''You might need to restart your weechat before it uses the updated certificates authorities file.''<br />
<br />
=irssi=<br />
#[[#CA_download|Download the certificate]] to ~/.irssi/chat4all-ca.pem<br />
#Add ''-ssl_cafile ~/.irssi/chat4all-ca.pem'' to your irssi server configuration:<br />
/server add -auto -ssl -ssl_cafile ~/.irsi/chat4all-ca.pem -network Chat4All irc.chat4all.org 7001<br />
#Connect to the network/server:<br />
/connect irc.chat4all.org<br />
That's all!<br />
<br />
=Quassel=<br />
Pending implementation according to [http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/464 Bug-report 464 at Quassel's website]<br />
<br />
You might find some more instructions in this [http://dev.weechat.org/post/2009/12/01/SSL-certificates SSL post at weechat.org]<br />
<br />
=Append CAs in Windows=<br />
If you have CAs from other networks (like Freenode), you can append our Certificate Authority Certificate to the existing file. <br />
<br />
#Open our CA certificate in a text editor such as Notepad and copy the contents.<br />
#Open the existing trusted authorities file in another text editor and paste our copied CA certificate at the top of the file.<br />
#Save the trusted authorities file.<br />
<br />
=Append CAs in Linux=<br />
If you have CAs from other networks (like Freenode), you can append our CA Certificate to the existing file.<br />
<br />
Assume our CA certificate is called ''chat4all-ca.pem'', the existing trusted certificate authorities file is called ''CAs.pem'' and they are both in the same directory.<br />
<br />
Execute the following commands:<br />
#Backup the current trusted certificate authorities<br />
cp CAs.pem CAs.pem.backup<br />
<br />
#Concatenate our certificate into the existing trusted certificates authorities<br />
cat chat4all-ca.pem >> CAs.pem</div>FiXato
