User authentications

[appel]

Hello Ventrilo,

I'm a administrator on a registered server:
Ventrilo Server - Professional
Server version = 2.2.1

I notice that there are 3 types of authentication modes;
auth < 0 | 1 | 2 >


I've done a little Googling and found out that option "2" means that you can enable individual user authentication? How exactly does this work?

The reason I ask about this is that currently my server has been auth 0, public, or open to everyone. But unwanted people have started to use my server, and I've decided to put a server password on (auth 1).
However, I'd like to be able to have each and every user using my ventrilo server to have his own user/pass. Is that possible with auth 2? If so, how? I don't see any commands in the rcon that give you this option.

Another related question:
I also run these phpBB powered forums. Would it be possible for me to create a WebService that authenticates the user with the phpBB database? So, you'd have to register on the forums first, and use that account to log-on to the ventrilo server. This would be the best solution for me.

Thank you.

You need to ask your hosting company to change your auth mode from 0 to 2.

That's a rather "stripped from all essential information" reply :)

Yes, it is possible.

You add the users (in the ventrilo client after you've logged into your server as an admin, right click the lobby and choose the appropriate menu options), change the Auth variable and then restart your server.

As for the phpBB integration, I do not believe anything like that exists for Ventrilo at this time.

i'd like to see md5 sum password options in the future. that way synchronization with web systems would be a lot easier.
