You can whitelist players you want to connect to your server, instead of using a password to keep out unwanted players.
The whitelist does require that you obtain the Player ID, THIS IS NOT the same as a player's Steam64ID.
The Player ID is a 44 characters long ID, which can be found in the admin log file (.ADM).
- This does mean you will need to turn on the Admin Logging option via the config file and command line.
- We do not turn it on by default as it can take up a lot of disk space, as a new file if generated every time you restart your server.
- Server does not have to be stopped to make changes to the whitelst.txt file.
To use the white list option, you need to complete both PART 1, then PART 2 explained step-by-step below.
PART 1:
- Stop your server.
- Enable White listing in the server configuration file (serverDZ.cfg)
- Text Editor option: enableWhitelist = 0; // Enable/disable whitelist (value 0-1)
- Configuration Editor option: Check the Enable Whitelist check box
- Save your configuration file.
- Start your server.
PART 2:
- Using Configuration Files option, select the Text Editor link next to the Whitelist.txt file to open the file
- Enter (paste, because it is so long), the Player ID you previously obtained, and if you want to add a comment to identify the Player ID
- by adding to forward slashes after the Player ID and adding your comment text
- Example:
- 1111111111112222222222222333333333XXXXXXAAAA //Example of a character ID
- Save the whitelist.txt file.
IMPORTANT: Changes take immediate effect. Any Player ID's removed from the file will result in the player being kicked from the server.
