IRC Server

Component status: EXPERIMENTAL. Do not use

WildDuck has an IRC server component built in that allows for the server users to connect using IRC. Unauthenticated access is not allowed, all users need to authenticate with their account or application-specific password.

Note about usernames

When logging in with an email address as username you can replace the @ symbol in the address with + symbol ([email protected] can also identify as username+example.com)

Supported authentication schemes

All authentication schemes use USER value as the username. NICK is not used for authentication.

1. PASS + USER

If the client issues PASS command then authentication is attempted after USER command

2. SASL PLAIN

If the client supports CAP then it can use AUTHENTICATE PLAIN for logging in

3. NickServ

After issuing NICK and USER commands the client can also identify itself with the NickServ IDENTIFY command
