 ====== Services ====== ====== Services ======
 +
 +Synchronet Services((a feature suggested by Angus McLeod of ANJO BBS)) are loadable modules or external executables designed to be loaded by the Synchronet //Services Server// to service a particular TCP or UDP protocol for remote client connections. Synchronet Services are similar in concept to UNIX's [x]inetd services.
 +
 +===== Configure =====
 +
 +The //Services Server// can be configured via [[util:SCFG]]:Servers->Services Server:
 +
 +<file>
 +╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
 +║                Services Server               ║
 +╠══════════════════════════════════════════════╣

 +
 +... or (on Windows) via [[monitor:SBBSCTRL]]:Services->Configure:
 +
 +{{:service:sbbsctrl.3.20.srvcs.config.png}}
 +
 +... or by editing the ''[Services]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file.
 +
 +==== Services ====
 +
 +Services are normally configured via the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[:config:services.ini]]'' file with some global settings controlled via the ''[Services]'' section of the ''[[:config:sbbs.ini]]'' file.
 +
 +... or (on Windows) via the "Services" tab of the [[monitor:SBBSCTRL]]:Services->Configure dialog:
 +
 +{{:service:sbbsctrl.3.20.services.config.png}}
 +
 +Some static services (e.g. the [[:service:ircd|IRC Daemon]]) may alternatively be executed independently of the //Services Server// using [[:util:JSexec]].
 +
 +===== Service Types =====
 +
 +There are four types of services currently supported:
 +
 +  - Dynamic JavaScript (the most common service type)
 +  - Static JavaScript (e.g. the [[:service:ircd|IRC Daemon]])
 +  - Dynamic Native
 +  - Static Native
 +
 +===== JavaScript Services =====
 +Additional methods and properties available to Synchronet Services written in JavaScript:
 +
 +==== Properties ====
 +
 +^Property  ^Type     ^Description^
 +|''logged_in'' |boolean|Indication if user has successfully authenticated or not|
 +|''datagram''  |string |Contents of received UDP datagram (when applicable)|
 +
 +==== Methods ====
 +
 +Along with the [[http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#global_methods|common global methods]], JavaScript services include support for the following methods:
 +
 +^Method   ^Returns ^Usage ^Description^
 +|''login''|boolean|''login(user, password [,increment_logins=//false//])''|Attempt to authenticate as specified user (name or number)|
 +|''logout''|boolean|''logout()''                                          |Logout currently authenticated user|
 +|''server.client_add''|void|''server.client_add(//Socket//, [user], [host])''    |Register client based on specified socket connection, with optional username and hostname|
 +|''server.client_update''|void|''server.client_update(//Socket//, [user], [host])''|Update client based on specified socket connection, with optional username and hostname|
 +|''server.client_remove''|void|''server.client_remove(//Socket//)''    |Unregister client based on specified socket connection|
