ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server

ngIRCd actually doesn't support secure connections for client-server or
|
||||
server-server links using SSL, the Secure Socket Layer, by itself. But you can
|
||||
use the stunnel(8) command to make this work.

Stefan Sperling (stefan at binarchy dot net) mailed me the following text as a
|
||||
short "how-to", thanks Stefan!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== snip ===
|
||||
! This guide applies to stunnel 4.x !
|
||||
|
||||
Put this in your stunnel.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
[ircs]
|
||||
accept = 6667
|
||||
connect = 6668
|
||||
|
||||
This makes stunnel listen for incoming connections
|
||||
on port 6667 and forward decrypted data to port 6668.
|
||||
We call the connection 'ircs'. Stunnel will use this
|
||||
name when logging connection attempts via syslog.
|
||||
You can also use the name in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
|
||||
if you run tcp-wrappers.
|
||||
|
||||
To make sure ngircd is listening on the port where
|
||||
the decrypted data arrives, set
|
||||
|
||||
Ports = 6668
|
||||
|
||||
in your ngircd.conf.
|
||||
|
||||
Start stunnel and restart ngircd.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it.
|
||||
Don't forget to activate ssl support in your irc client ;)
|
||||
=== snip ===
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Probably ngIRCd will include support for SSL in the future ...
