Error 451: You Have Not Registered

[oreth]

So, I'm writing an irc client in flex. I grabbed unrealIRCD for testing purposes, and possibly, for internal network use.

However, everytime I connect and try to send a command i get "451: You have not registered".

Is there a specific command i need to send to the server to "register" ?

Read RFC1459 for how to establish an IRC connection.

Registration in this case means to identify yourself to the IRCd with your nick, user name and full name, possibly a server password too.

Done using the PASS, NICK and USER commands where PASS is optional:

Code: Select all

PASS <server password>
NICK <nick>
USER <username> 0 * :<fullname>

It should be noted that <username> is NOT the same as ident, but if an ident cannot be looked up then it is usually used as one but prefixed with a "~"

Also your client WILL have to respond to "PING" messages with "PONG"

Details of all this are in RFC1459, which you should have read BEFORE starting your project.
