NAME

/register - the Profanity /register command.

DESCRIPTION

Register an account on a server.

SYNOPSIS

/register <username> <server> [port <port>] [tls force|allow|trust|direct|disable|legacy]

ARGUMENTS

<username>

Username to register with.

<server>

Server to register account on.

port <port>

The port to use if different to the default (5222, or 5223 for SSL).

tls force

Force TLS connection, and fail if one cannot be established. This is the default behavior.

tls allow

Use TLS for the connection if it is available.

tls trust

Force TLS connection and trust the server's certificate.

tls direct

Use direct TLS for the connection. It means TLS handshake is started right after TCP connection is established.

tls disable

Disable TLS for the connection.

tls legacy

Alternative keyword for 'direct', which was created when one still thought that 'STARTTLS' is the future.
