How to auto-identify your Supybot with NickServ
You'll need to have the Services plugin loaded before going any further. We'll assume you've already read through Getting Started and therefore know how to do this. You'll also need to be familiar with configuring your Supybot. For the purpose of this how-to, we'll pretend that your bot's prefix character is @.
First, you'll need to tell Supybot who the NickServ is on your network:
@config supybot.plugins.Services.NickServ NickServ
Next, you'll need to specify the nick and password that the bot should identify as. This must be done in private so no one sees your password:
@services password botnick password
Finally, you'll need to have the bot identify with NickServ:
@services identify
This is normally done automatically when the bot connects to the network, but since we just configured everything, it'll have to be done manually right now.
This How-to applies to: Any version.
