<p>Deliot: </p> <hr /> <div>This article discusses how to create a PRIVATE [[List Server]] and have players authenticate via this server. This is generally not necessary, since BZFlag clients perform [[Global Registration]] via the official bzflag.org [[List Server]]. However, if a [[BZFS]] server is created within a private LAN network, it may be desirable/necessary to authenticate players locally.<br /> <br /> ==Assumptions==<br /> *This article assumes a working [[BZFS]] server is already in place and has been tested.<br /> *This article assumes the server admin understands how to set up a BZFS groups file (see [[Sample Group File]])<br /> *This article assumes the server admin has access to web hosting with MySQL and PHP.<br /> *This article assumes the server admin understands how to download and install PHPBB3.<br /> *This article assumes the private [[List Server]] will use the same database as PHPBB3.<br /> *This article assumes the server admin understands how to perform basic editing of PHP code.<br /> *This article was written using Linux for the [[BZFS]] server.<br /> *This article was written using Windows clients to access both the game server and the private [[List Server]]. <br /> <br /> ==Difficulty==<br /> While no particular step in this process is overly difficult, there are many steps, and many interactions between steps. There are multiple points of failure during this process.<br /> <br /> ==Directions==<br /> *Install and test your [[BZFS]] server.
