SASL EXTERNAL - osa1/tiny GitHub Wiki
SASL EXTERNAL Configuration
SASL EXTERNAL is an alternative to password authentication which uses a certificate that is registered (by the user) with the IRC server.
For this configuration, we will be referencing https://libera.chat/guides/certfp. The concepts should be similar for every server, but be sure to check your desired server's website for specific instructions.
Certificate Generation
Libera provides generic instructions on certificate generation using OpenSSL.
Once you have the PEM
file, you can place it somewhere safe on your machine.
Tiny config.yml
Within your tiny config file, you will need to add the path to your PEM certificate under sasl
Ex.
# ... omitted fields
- addr: irc.libera.chat
port: 6697
tls: true
# ... omitted fields
sasl:
username: tiny_user
# password: "hunter2"
pem: "/home/me/.config/tiny/libera.pem" # <-- Change to where your PEM file is
Registering fingerprint with NickServ
Once you launch tiny
, you can now follow the Libera instructions to automatically identify with NickServ every time tiny
starts.
