Configuring Irssi for SASL
The setup for SASL on Irssi differs depending on the version you have (you can find out by running irssi -v in your nearest shell).
Irssi 1.2.1 or later
Recent Irssi versions include built-in SASL support via /network:
/network add -sasl_username <login> -sasl_password <password> -sasl_mechanism PLAIN IRC4Fun
/server add -auto -net IRC4Fun -tls -tls_verify irc.irc4fun.net 6697
/save
Troubleshooting
To check that the setting was correct, run /network and confirm that the IRC4Fun entry looks like this:
IRC4Fun: sasl_mechanism: plain, sasl_username: MyNickname, sasl_password: (pass)
All three items (mechanism, username, and password) must be set.
