| '''What is the Alpha Server?'''
| | #REDIRECT [[Player_Registration]] |
| | |
| Alpha is a replacement Master Server that authenticates NWN multiplayer logins to select NWN servers. It does not decrypt Premium modules and never will.
| |
| | |
| '''I've never logged into Avlis before what do I need to do?'''
| |
| | |
| New players may use any ID they wish that does not match one that we have on file. If and when the Master Server returns, you will need to reauthenticate that ID against the Master Server. If you cannot satisfy the Master Server you will not get access to the characters created under that ID until you can.
| |
| | |
| Safe Harbor Exception: If the id created is prefixed with 'avlis_' we will make sure that you have access to your characters one way or the other.
| |
| | |
| Please send a PM to PlasmaJohn.

| '''I've logged into Avlis before what do I need to do?'''
| |
| | |
| If you want in you need you to register your NWN multiplayer login and password with a web form. We don't ask for this lightly and we understand that's going to be uncool with people, so there will be other options in the future. If this doesn't scare you off please visit https://world.avlis.org:20443/alpha/

| '''My browser is complaining about your certificate.'''
| |
| | |
| The certificate is for avlis.blackdagger.net and needs to be regenerated for world.avlis.org. The SHA Fingerprint is:
| |
| | |
| <tt>SHA1 Fingerprint=F4:C4:85:03:00:2A:E0:D2:3B:08:D9:0E:16:56:41:58:EE:6D:A1:09</tt>

| '''The registration form keeps rejecting my login and password'''
| |
| | |
| If you have Remember Password ticked in your client, look in your nwnplayer.ini file for a line that says Password=yourpassword and make sure that what you're typing into the form matches that. If you're still having trouble please send your multiplayer ID to our Alpha administrators (see below).
| |
| | |
| Please clearly state what your MSID is when sending in requests even if it matches your board id. Making the Administrators guess who you are will lead to significant delays in handling your request. Please '''do not''' send your multiplayer password or cdkeys. We will not ever ask you to PM those.
| |
| | |
| We are not blindly handing out registrations. Before they're approved, the Administrator has to verify that you have rights to that MSID. The best way for us to do this is if the board account you are PM'ing from has posted as at least one of the characters linked to the MSID prior to June 29, 2011. If you already have a verifiable established account that this MSID is an alt for we can try to match your cdkeys, but you will need to send your request from the primary.

| '''Is this secure?'''
| |
| | |
| The password is transformed by a one-way function. This means there is no known function to take the result and produce your password. This is not perfect, it only makes it harder to break. Before I save the result, it is encrypted using a two-key system. The website only has the encryption key and cannot decrypt the data.
| |
| | |
| While I have taken pains to harden the servers I will not and cannot claim they are perfectly secure. Anybody who does make such a claim is lying, stupid or both.
| |
| | |
| '''Who else is using Alpha?'''
| |
| | |
| So far this Avlis only. It will be offered to the other CoPaP servers as soon as some administrative details are worked out.
