Dear syzop,

The way SASL authentication works, that is not a flaw but by design as SASL is only available DURING registration and NOT post registration. Thus, it is more of a feature or rather by design, rather than a bug.

Koragg

Hi Koragg

That's not the case - https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.2.html#sasl-reauthentication

The idea is that when services go offline, the server sends `CAP DEL :sasl`; when services come back online, the server sends `CAP NEW :sasl` thus allowing the users to automatically reauthenticate with nickserv.

Cheers.

Hello jesopo,

Thank You for the clarification I was not taking this aspect into consideration. You are right with that of course, thanks a lot for the correction.

Regards,

Koragg

Right, so yeah, this feature is not new to me. I already decided in 2017 to announce CAP NEW sasl when services return to fix this problem when services link in (too late) after a server restart and users are already connected (post-handshake). See https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/332
It's just unfortunate that apparently the actual AUTHENTICATION was not tested and never worked ;)

Anyway, in order to fix this we need changes in both UnrealIRCd and anope. I have not checked other services.

1) UnrealIRCd:
Fixed in https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/commit/78cd122a050d32b1c352c7142a41e9264344f9aa
commit 78cd122a050d32b1c352c7142a41e9264344f9aa (HEAD -> unreal42, origin/unreal42, origin/HEAD)

    Allow SASL post-registration. Unfortunately the anope unreal4 protocol
    module also requires an update to support this.

2) anope
 Pull request available here https://github.com/anope/anope/pull/235
 This is necessary because anope assumes PUID's, but with above change in UnrealIRCd we use UID's for post-handshake users (otherwise anope would not know which user it targetted)
