Auto-registration

In VerliHub you can enable users auto-registration changing value of autoreg_class variable. You should specify which class should be used to register a new user with auto registration feature. For example if you want that auto register guest user with class 1 use:

!set autoreg_class 1

or as VIP (class 2):

!set autoreg_class 2

If you use a class bigger than 3 VerliHub will block auto registration feature.

User can register himself with +regme command followed by choosen password:

+regme 4aD#47dS

VerliHub will check if user has the minimum amount of share checking min_share_reg or min_share_vip or min_share_ops variables according to value set in autoreg_class variable. Hubosft will also check if provided password has at least number of characters set in password_min_len variable.

You can also force user to use a prefix in the nickname setting a value to nick_prefix_autoreg variable.
