Whitelisting
About Whitelisting
If you have a private server and only want specific players to join, you can create a Whitelist. This is more secure than using a password, as a password can be leaked or shared.
You can use the bEnforceWhitelist=true option in your Game.ini file to enable the whitelist without kicking users until you are done.
- If you don't have a whitelist file, or the file is empty, the whitelist will not be enabled.
- The moment you add a user ID to the whitelist text file, the whitelist will come into effect.
WARNING
The server must be stopped while editing server files. You must save your edits and restart your server for any edits to take effect.
Details
Changes to server files require a server restart, so we recommend adding whitelisted players with RCON commands or in-game chat commands!
- In the Saved folder you must create a file called
whitelist.txt - Add the whitelisted users for your server in the text file and click "Save".
Here is the format for the whitelist.txt file:
Formatting
Add the Alderon Games ID (AGID) of each whitelisted user on a new line. You can find a player's AGID by using the Admin Chat Commands or the Spectator Tool.
