Login Request
Before the client can communicate with a zone, it must first authenticate. SmartFoxServer provides a custom login feature, which most people (who use SmartFoxServer) utilise in order to provide an additional layer of security. A login extension accepts two parameters, as documented below, and (can) return either an XML login notice (logOK), an XML login fail (logKO), or a custom event (i.e. with Club Penguin a standard Login Response.
<msg t='sys'><body action='login' r='0'><login z='w1'><nick><![CDATA[Jamie]]></nick><pword><![CDATA[d9129e4a7dbcb0bd7ae8ee6b512d92bc]]></pword></login></body></msg>
| Action | login |
|---|---|
| XML Node | <login /> |
| z | The zone for the server to log into (w1) |
| <nick /> | The client's requested nickname (usually wrapped with <![CDATA[ ]]> tags) |
| <pword /> | The password (hash) the client uses to log in. This is only used with custom logins. |
Club Penguin Specific
Because at this point the Club Penguin login extension code handles this request, we receive a standard Login Response.
