Our shell accounts server [[Machine/sunjammer]] hosts an instance of [http://bip.milkypond.org/ BIP], | |||
a multiuser IRC proxy. | |||
== Requesting a proxy == | |||
This service is only available to trusted developers with a [[Service/shell|shell account]]. | |||
Setup a password with <code>bipmkpw</code> on sunjammer and send the | |||
resulting hash to the [[Infrastructure_Team/Contacts | sysadmin contact]] along | |||
with: | |||
* Your IRC nickname | |||
* Optionally, a list of channels to connect to | |||
* Optionally, your NickServ password so the proxy can automatically login as you when the server boots | |||
Since you'll be connecting from one of our public IPs, we'll provide your actual | |||
login name and real name to the IRC network. | |||
Of course, you can have other servers besides FreeNode. Let us know which | |||
ones you require. | |||
== Configuring your IRC client == | |||
IRC clients should be configured as follows: | IRC clients should be configured as follows: | ||

Use SSL: yes | Use SSL: yes | ||
Accept invalid SSL certificates: yes | Accept invalid SSL certificates: yes | ||
Server password: USERNAME:PASSWORD:NETWORK | |||
BIP uses the password field to encode three fields separated by a colon: | |||
* USERNAME: your bip username (same of your shell account) | |||
* PASSWORD: the password you used with bipmkpw | |||
* NETWORK: the identifier of the IRC network to connect to (for example, "freenode"). | |||
If you have multiple IRC networks, create multiple server entries in your IRC client, | |||
each one with a different value for NETWORK. | |||
This configuration is known to work with [http://xchat.org/ XChat] and [http://konversation.kde.org/ Konversation]. | |||
