  • login via user number

    From Ner@1:103/705 to all on Tue Oct 24 23:28:52 2023
    Hi guys,

    Is there a setting that I need to enable to allow me to login via my user number? I'm resurrecting a system, but I'm using 3.20, and before I was like five versions back. My alias isn't long, but I'm not sure what I'm missing.

    For me, in 'scfg' -> Nodes -> each node -> Toggle Options, there's a "Allow login by user number"

    In v3.20, it's SCFG->System->Security Options->Allow Login by User Number

    In older versions of Synchronet, this was a per-node option.

    This change (and many others) is listed in https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/docs/v320_new.txt

    Hello, and thanks for that reply. Sorry for the duplicate message on the group, it must have not propagated until I re-wrote it. This did the trick--I notice that there's an option in login.js to allow for the legacy logon prompt. Is this something, should I choose to set it, enabled via a modification / mod to login.js?

    The legacy prompt is always sent by the stock login.js (not an option), it's just not visible to the user. The whole point of sending it is to trigger legacy login scripts (QWKnet call-out scripts) to recognize it as a login prompt. If you prefer a different login prompt (visible to the user), you'd need to copy login.js to your mods directory and then just edit these strings in there:
    var str = "\x01n\x01h\x01cEnter \x01wUser Name";
    if(system.login_settings & LOGIN_USERNUM)
    str += "\x01c or \x01wNumber";
    if(!(system.settings&SYS_CLOSED))
    str += "\x01c or '\x01yNew\x01c'";
    if(guest)
    str += "\x01c or '\x01yGuest\x01c'";
    str += "\r\nLogin: \x01w";
