This is an external module. Please note that it may or may not work with the current release (1.9.1). This module is not included in the default ZNC installation, and you will need to manually compile it before you can load this module. Contact the author if you have any questions, but feel free to ask in #znc on Libera.Chat. Someone might be able to help you there. |
This module is intended for admins who run a Drupal website and want to provide ZNC access to their existing users. By using this module, when your users login to ZNC - either with their IRC client or via the webadmin module - their password will be checked against your Drupal database instead of the ZNC config file. If configured so, it can also fall back to the local config file.
You can specify the irc server that newly imported users should connect to and the channel they should join.
The module currently supports the MySQL database only. A PostgreSQL version is in the works.
Usage
Arguments
This global module takes six required, one optional arguments.
Read loading modules to learn more about loading modules.
The module expects these space separated arguments, in this order
<DB user> <DB password> <DB host> <DB name> <IRC server> <Channel name> [Authentication Order]
DB user: the username for your Drupal databaseDB password: the password for your Drupal databaseDB host: the hostname of the server running your Drupal databaseDB name: the database name of your Drupal databaseIRC server: the IRC server to connect imported Drupal users toChannel name: the default channel imported users should joinAuth order: the order the module should use to authenticate: valid parameters are "local" and "drupal", separated by a comma and no space. Optional; defaults to local only.
Drupal Configuration Hint
This skin is a slightly modified version of ice. It removes the ability to edit the username and slightly simplifies the interface. It incorporates jquery and collapsible fieldsets. It works well in a Thickbox popup, as on this page. For complete integration, also install MySQL_Log and the Drupal log viewer.
Non-Drupal Usage
This module can currently be easily converted to use a non Drupal database, simply modify the query. However, I plan to integrate it more fully, allowing for a certain degree of control from within Drupal (e.g., allowing access to a specific user role only).
Issues
- Because this module creates a local user, if you install and use this module and then remove it, you should be aware that each imported user will still be able to log in to your bouncer.
- This currently allows all users of your Drupal site to connect. Be careful that you do not exceed connection limits of your IRC server.
