Anopr

Anopr is a set of modules that work together to authenticate IRC chatters against a Composr CMS database. It consists of two main pieces:

• A C++ Anope module
• A set of PHP scripts

This system is necessary because Composr uses PHP's password_hash and password_verify functions, which Anope's SQL authentication module cannot handle.

Setup & Configuration

To use Anopr, you must have a Composr installation with user accounts set up, and an IRC server that you plan to use Anope services with.

1. Download the source code for Anope.
2. Place m_composr_authentication.cpp in the modules/third directory of Anope.
3. Run Configure, build, and install Anope.
   • ./Configure
   • cd build
   • make
   • make install
4. Place a module configuration block at the end of Anope's modules.conf configuration file.
   • See example-anope-config.conf for a skeleton configuration.
5. Adjust the PHP scripts to point to the appropriate SQL database (including the table, if it's been customized from Composr's default), and SSL/TLS certificates if you are connecting to Composr's SQL database over SSL/TLS.

Usage

Once set up using the steps above, users who have registered an account on your Composr CMS installation can join your IRC server and authenticate with the following command (assuming default NickServ configuration in Anope):

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY (password)

...or, if connected with a different nick than the Composr username:

/msg NickServ IDENTIFY (username) (password)
