I have a semi-closed system of 1500 users that I would like to offer IRC services to - but only if they authenticate against a custom MySQL table entry.
I'd like to call a perl script that will do the lookup of a given identity & password pair, and return a 0 exit code for success, and a non-zero code for failure to authenticate.
So my question to the ngIRCd community & author is whether there are plans, or interest in an authentication hook being added. And, whether this kind of approach would be incompatible with standards-compliant IRC clients.
Thanks!
