CertFP Auth and HostServ Groups

[News]

While our recent updates mostly dealt with fixing bugs, improving the current code base and providing a few enhancements for staff, there are two new features for users we'd like to share:

NickServ CertFP Authentication

It is now possible to setup your account to allow automatic authentication to NickServ via a SSL certificate fingerprint (certfp). For more information on how to use and take advantage of this new feature, go here .

HostServ Groups

Organizations, communities and projects can now register as a group on DareNET, establishing an official relationship between the two entities. But, what does any of that have to do with HostServ? Well, group contacts can grant custom hosts to their group or project participants, providing a form of official recognition.

Group custom hosts are formatted as follows:..

• . This is replaced with the user's DareNET account name.
• . This can be anything the group wants (provided it follows our title guidelines), and is usually used to indicate the user's role in your group or project. For example, such titles might include staff, developer, donor, contributor, member, bot (for utility clients) etc.
• . This is replaced with your group's name.

If you are interested in registering as a group, please join #support to speak with a staff member, who will gather the necessary information and get you set up!
