| − | <b>Libera.chat defaults to blocking private messages from unauthentified users! All users should register their nicknames to be able to message one another privately, by following the instructions below.</b> If you're really unable to register, you should ask your correspondent to [https://libera.chat/guides/usermodes consider setting usermode <tt>-R</tt>, and <tt>+g</tt>]
| |
| − | | |
| − | You should register your nickname with NickServ following [https://libera.chat/guides/registration the registration instructions provided by libera.chat staff].
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. After doing so, you need to configure your client to auto-authenticate. The recommended way of doing that is using [https://libera.chat/guides/sasl SASL authentication].

| − | For registering an account through the Matrix bridge ([https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv relevant docs here]), please follow these instructions:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Choose a short nickname (the default nickname picked by the matrix bridge has a [m] and can be quite long, as it defaults to the full local part of your matrix handle)
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg @appservice:libera.chat !nick <USERNAME>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Send this command to NickServ to register your account:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg @NickServ:libera.chat register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Once you receive the confirmation email with a token, activate your account by using:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg @NickServ:libera.chat VERIFY REGISTER <USERNAME> <TOKEN RECEIVED BY EMAIL>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Give the Matrix bridge appservice your password so that you get identified automatically when matrix reconnects you to IRC:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg @appservice:libera.chat !username <USERNAME>
| |
| − | /msg @appservice:libera.chat !storepass <PASSWORD>
| |
| − | | |
| − | == IRC access list ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To auto-voice people with a registered nick (only doable by people with +fA access modes will be able to do it), add them to the team channel access list:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg chanserv flags #swh-team add <nickname> Staff
| |
| − | | |
| − | Other channels pick their ACLs from that of the #swh-team channel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you already have the right (+o ChanServ flag), you can make yourself an operator, with:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /msg chanserv OP #swh-devel
| |
| − | | |
