# Clusterio Player Auth Plugin Plugin authenticating logged in players to the web interface. Authentication is achieved by a simple challenge response mechanism where players have to log into one of the Factorio server in the cluster and open a dialog that presents a code, this code is input into the login form on the web interface which gives back a second code. Once the player enters the second code into the dialog in-game the web interface is authenticated. ## Installation Run the following commands in the folder Clusterio is installed to: npm install @clusterio/plugin-player_auth npx clusteriocontroller plugin add @clusterio/plugin-player_auth Substitute clusteriocontroller with clusteriohost or clusterioctl if this a dedicate host or ctl installation respectively. ## Controller Configuration #### player_auth.code_length Length in character of the generated challenge codes that need to be input between the web interface login form and the in-game Factorio login dialog. Defaults to `6`. #### player_auth.code_timeout Time in seconds the first code generated stays valid. The login must be completed in less than this time starting from when the login dialog is opened in-game. Defaults to `120`. #### player_auth.show_connect_address Show the address to connect to for each server in the server list on the login page of the web interface, made up of host.public_address and the game port of the instance. This list is visible to anyone who can reach the web interface, so leave it off if you don't want unauthenticated users to see where the servers are. Defaults to `false`.
