Installation process
First, you need to install the plugin, you can download the files right here. Next up, take Authentication.cs and put it in the 'plugins' folder so that it can be loaded on to the server.
Next up, we want to go to the f1 console or the webRcon utility. In there we type 'auth password [new password]' Note: Make sure not to include the example brackets in your commands!
Configuration
So now that the plugin has been successfully set up and installed, it's time to do some configuration. The file can be found under oxide/config and is called Authentication.json. Open that file.
Inside of Authentication.json, you should see this:
{
"ENABLED": true,
"PASSWORD": "changeme",
"PREVENT_CHAT": true,
"PREVENT_CHAT_PASSWORD": true,
"RETRIES": 0,
"TIMEOUT": 30
}In here you change the settings of your server.
