Overview
What Identica's features do, and how to turn them on for all providers or one.
Features add optional behavior on top of logging in. All of them are part of Identica; nothing is installed separately.
| Feature | Does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Verification | asks for a second factor, such as an authenticator app code, after the provider | offered, not required |
| Recognition | lets a player who just logged in reconnect without logging in again | off |
| Sentinel | locks out connections that keep failing or abusing the login, and can limit accounts per address | on |
| Restriction | lets staff close a provider to new joins for a while | join restriction off |
On for everyone, or per provider
Each feature has shared settings under features/<feature>/ in the data directory, which apply to every provider. A provider can differ through features in its entry of providers/providers.yml:
providers:
- id: "credential"
features:
recognition:
enabled: false
verification:
enabled: true
required: true
- id: "premium"
features:
recognition:
enabled: true
verification:
enabled: falseThis turns recognition on for Premium only and requires verification for Credential. Everything a provider leaves out comes from the shared settings.
A provider has to support a feature for it to apply. Both official providers support every feature; a provider that does not support one fails to load when its entry turns that feature on.
| Feature | Shared settings | Per provider |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition | features/recognition/settings | features.recognition |
| Verification | features/verification/settings | features.verification |
| Sentinel | features/sentinel/settings | features.sentinel.enabled |
| Restriction | features/restriction/settings | features.restriction.enabled |
| Join restriction | features/restriction/join/settings | features.restriction.join |
Configuration describes every setting of every feature.
