The web interface of Drone offers an authenticated administration interface. This interface allows administators to change the bot's running status and maintainers to install or remove the database structures that are required for the modules.
The users and passwords are setup in the file users.xml, for example:
The tags should be totally intuitive. People with the admin rule will not be able to install or remove the database structure and people with the setup credentials have full permissions. The remote permission allows people to access Drone's web interface that allows you to remotely post messages to IRC.
Now that everything is configured, you're probably aching to run the bot.
Securing your password
Since it's often not recommended to store you password in clear text, you can use RIFE's password encryption methods to encrypt or obfuscate your password before putting them in this file.
The following command on the console will print out the usage help:
java -cp lib/rife-0.8.2.jar com.uwyn.rife.tools.StringEncryptor
In short, if your password is 'humdiedum' and you want to encrypt it with a SHA algorythm, you do this:
java -cp lib/rife-0.8.2.jar com.uwyn.rife.tools.StringEncryptor -e SHA:humdiedum
and you get
SHA:lZThBSPqkCkq3st9sGshP7+RVwI=
You can use this string instead of you password in the users.xml file. The supported encryption prefixes are: SHA, MD5 and OBF.
