Subject: Re: Freenode sasl authentication error rcirc
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 14:37:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <875z0c3l00.fsf@disroot.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8735vkqyno.fsf@disroot.org>
I am now able to connect to Freenode using Circe with SASL
authentication.
I received help from wasamasa in #emacs-circe and staff in #freenode to
debug an issue with Circe's SASL authentication. A fix was pushed to
the Circe repository.
This logging variable was helpful during Circe debugging:
`(setq irc-debug-log t)`
Here is the contents of my Circe configuration that is working for me:
```
(setq circe-network-options
'(("Freenode"
:tls t
:nick "bone-baboon"
:user "bone-baboon"
:realname "bone-baboon"
:sasl-username "bone-baboon"
:sasl-password "<password>")))
```
The sasl-username and sasl-password are the username and password used
when registering an account with Freenode.
