How to start a server with authentication?
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 12:35 pm
I'm trying to start a multiplayer server with authentication support. Also, what I need is to have a script that does an autosave every hour (or so). So there are two sets of problems.
1. If I start the bare server, it would probably be easy to setup a database and password stuff would resolve itself automatically. I may need a ilttle bit of help with that, but it seems straightforward. however, that leaves the autosave-per-hour thing unresolved.
2. I could also use the Longturn.org/net files that have the autosave-per-hour thing pretty solved, but they seem to require a server/site-side support (password database) which I don't have at this server. I struggled with several layers of problems on this path, but I finally ended here:
Basically, I could cut out the part where the server connects to the LT on-site password database, but I tried and failed.
Any help with solving either of these problems would be gladly received.
