Armagetron Dedicated Authentication

Post by Arduino »

I host the -=taco=- High Rubber server and recently upgraded the OS from Windows to Linux. I have gotten the server up and running on Linux, but dont seem to be able to get authentication working. I use the autoexec.cfg file to put in the authentication settings. When I try to authenticate (through the esacpe menu) I get the error message :"This server does not support authentication of the type you requested sorry" I included GLOBAL_ID 1 in the autoexec file. Any help would be great.

2 things come to mind: if you are trying to login while playing on the local subnet, you need to add TRUST_LAN or a similar setting so it accepts local logins. Also you may need to add 'forums' to the whitelist.

Also, if you compiled your server from source, you need to pass the extra argument '--enable-armathentication' to the configure script, after running 'make distclean'.

You don't have to do that unless your whitelist isn't empty.

I already put trust lan in my server_info.cfg file. When I was using Windows for my server, it worked just fine without any extra settings.

Opps, I don't think that I compiled the server from source. Was I supposed to do that. I just followed these instructions: http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... stallation

Do I really need to compile it from source in order to have authentication?

Maybe not, depending on whether you did the installation procedure correctly. You may have ended up with the build included with Ubuntu.

Also, your version of Ubuntu is? (You may have mentioned it in another thread, but I'm too lazy to search now.)

Sounds like the right build, then. It could be that I forgot to add armathentication into it. I'll check later when I have the time and correct PC, but it may be a while. I haven't really prepped my new laptop for building releases yet. So in the meantime, you may want to look into compiling the game yourself, it's not too hard. Or uninstall the .deb and go with the .package distribution instead, that should be compiled correctly.
