+ Registering a nickname is useful to preserve your identity on IRC and you will be able + to use always the same nickname. In some cirtumstances, some IRC channels may be + configured to accept only registered nickname. +

+ +

+ If you have registered your nickname with a password on a network that supports nickname + registration, you can use that password with Empathy to identify yourself as + the owner of the nickname. +

+ + + +

+ From the Contact List window, perform one of the following: +

+ + +

+ Press F4 +

+ + +

+ Choose EditAccounts +

+ + + + +

+ Select the IRC account from the box on the left of the dialog. +

+ + +

+ If the account is enabled, disable it by deselecting the Enable + check-box next to the name of the account. +

+ + +

+ In the Password text box, type the password you used to register + your nikcname. +

+ + +

+ Enable the account by selecting the Enabled check-box + next to the name of the account. +

+ + + +

+ Once you are connected, you will receive a message from the nickname server that will + tell you of the established identification. +

+ + +

+ At the moment it is not possible to register a nickname with Empathy, it is + only possible to use the password of an already registered nickname. +
