Cinch-authentication

An authentication system with multiple strategies for the Cinch IRC framework.

Features

• Multiple strategies: users can be authenticated by their channel status, by being in a user list or by identifying with a password.
• Easily configurable: authentication can be configured globally, on the plugin level and on the command level, all at the same time.

Usage

Cinch-authentication can be set up to require authorization for a full plugin

require 'cinch/extensions/authentication'

module Cinch::Plugins
  class Admin
    include Cinch::Plugin
    include Cinch::Extensions::Authentication

    enable_authentication # All matches require authorization.

    # ...
  end
end

Or only for a few commands.

require 'cinch/extensions/authentication'

module Cinch::Plugins
  class Admin
    include Cinch::Plugin
    include Cinch::Extensions::Authentication

    match /set_topic (.+)/s, :method => :set_topic
    match /get_topic/s, :method => :get_topic

    def set_topic(m, topic)
      return unless authenticated? m

      # ...
    end

    def get_topic(m)
      m.reply m.channel.topic
    end
  end
end

When using the user_list strategy, note that the user must be identified with nickserv (+r) in order for the plugin to recognize you.
