SASL is a modern way of authentication in IRC, solving problems such as transmitting passwords as plain text (see the DH-BLOWFISH mechanism) and fully identifying before joining any channels.
Cinch automatically detects which mechanisms are supported by the IRC network and uses the best available one.
# Supported Mechanisms
{SASL::DH_Blowfish DH-BLOWFISH}
{SASL::Plain PLAIN}
# Configuration In order to use SASL one has to set the username and password options as follows:
configure do |c| c.sasl.username = "foo" c.sasl.password = "bar" end
