Setup

The setup is optional. If you leave it as is, there is a single unnamed room, opened to all users. If you want to customize the access control, edit the file conf/setup.ini (if missing, copy it from conf/sample/setup.ini). The interesting parameter is auth that indicates which user is authorized to which room.

In this example auth = John:Game,John:Family,Mary:Game,Tim:Family,admin:*,*:Public,*::

• John:Game,John:Family = John can access the Game room, the Family room
• Mary:Game = Mary can access the Game room
• Tim:Family = Tim can access the Family room
• admin:* = admin can access all rooms
• *:Public = everybody can acccess the Public room
• *: = everybody can access the unnamed room

Hints for users

• The URLs you send are linked or transformed to images when preceeded by a !
• If multiple rooms are allowed by the administrator in the setup.ini, you can have several tabs opened to different rooms in the same browser.
