Tip of the day: Almost every channel mode can be disabled. Don't like halfops? Use blacklist-module chanmodes/halfop;

Here's an example of how to use it for the oper block:
- Create an SSL/TLS client certificate if you don't have one already. Search the web for irc client certificate if you don't know how to do this.
- Connect to IRC with your client, using your client certificate (consult your IRC client documentation)
- On IRC simply
/WHOISyourself and you will see a line like:
FriendlyOper has client certificate fingerprint e74d46f19ff468f5e8e349cc285df96585ba4f16b64902e334e6e76afe76a798
If you do not see a line stating a "client certificate fingerprint", then your IRC client is not configured correctly to use the SSL/TLS client certificate. Consult your IRC client documentation.
- In the server configuration file (eg: unrealircd.conf), set the password to the certificate fingerprint you saw on IRC. For example:
oper test {
password "e74d46f19ff468f5e8e349cc285df96585ba4f16b64902e334e6e76afe76a798" { certfp; };
[..]
};
- Rehash your server
- Now oper up through /OPER test. When you try this, make sure that you are not already an IRCOp.
- You should now have IRC Operator rights.
- Congratulations, you are now using the most secure authentication method available in UnrealIRCd!
