+[[irc_sasl_authentication]]
+==== SASL authentication
+
+WeeChat supports SASL authentication, using different mechanisms:
+
+* _plain_: plain text password (default)
+* _scram-sha-1_: SCRAM with SHA-1 digest algorithm
+* _scram-sha-256_: SCRAM with SHA-256 digest algorithm
+* _scram-sha-512_: SCRAM with SHA-512 digest algorithm
+* _ecdsa-nist256p-challenge_: challenge with public/private key
+* _external_: client side TLS cert
+
+Options in servers are:
+
+* _sasl_mechanism_: mechanism to use (see above)
+* _sasl_timeout_: timeout (in seconds) for authentication
+* _sasl_fail_: action to perform if authentication fails
+* _sasl_username_: username (nick)
+* _sasl_password_: password
+* _sasl_key_: file with ECC private key (for mechanism
+ _ecdsa-nist256p-challenge_)
+
+[[irc_sasl_ecdsa_nist256p_challenge]]
+===== SASL ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE
+
+You must generate a private key in order to authentify with the
+ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE mechanism (no password is required on connection).
+
+You can generate the key with this command:
+
+----
+$ openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -out ~/.config/weechat/ecdsa.pem
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+You must replace `~/.config/weechat` by the path to your WeeChat config directory
+which can also be for example `~/.weechat`.
+
+Get the public key (encoded as base64) with this command:
+
+----
+$ openssl ec -noout -text -conv_form compressed -in ~/.config/weechat/ecdsa.pem | grep '^pub:' -A 3 | tail -n 3 | tr -d ' \n:' | xxd -r -p | base64
+----
+
+Connect to the server, identify (for example with "nickserv identify") and set
+your public key in your account, using nickserv (replace the base64 value with
+your public key):
+
+----
+/connect libera
+/msg nickserv identify your_password
+/msg nickserv set pubkey Av8k1FOGetUDq7sPMBfufSIZ5c2I/QYWgiwHtNXkVe/q
+----
+
+Configure the SASL options in the server:
+
+----
+/set irc.server.libera.sasl_mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge
+/set irc.server.libera.sasl_username "your_nickname"
+/set irc.server.libera.sasl_key "${weechat_config_dir}/ecdsa.pem"
+----
+
+Reconnect to the server:
+
+----
+/reconnect libera
+----
+
+[[irc_servers_connection]]
+==== Connection
+
+You can connect to server with the <<command_irc_connect,/connect>> command:
+
+----
+/connect libera
+----
+
+To disconnect:
+
+----
+/disconnect libera
+----
+
+Or just this if you are on any buffer belonging to _libera_ server (server,
+channel, private):
+
+----
+/disconnect
+----
+
+When you connect to multiple servers at same time, server buffers are merged
+by default and you can switch between them with the kbd:[Ctrl+x] key. +
+It is possible to disable auto merge of server buffers to have independent
+server buffers:
+
+----
+/set irc.look.server_buffer independent
+----
+
+[[irc_tor_sasl]]
+==== Connect with Tor and SASL
+
+Some servers support connections with https://www.torproject.org/[Tor ^↗^,window=_blank],
+a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their
+privacy and security on the Internet.
+
+In first place, install Tor. For Debian (and derived):
+
+----
+$ sudo apt-get install tor
+----
+
+In WeeChat you need to add a socks5 proxy for Tor service (hostname/IP and
+port depend on your Tor configuration):
+
+----
+/proxy add tor socks5 127.0.0.1 9050
+----
+
+Now, add a new server (replace server name "irc-tor" and the address by a valid one):
+
+----
+/server add irc-tor this.is.the.address.onion
+----
+
+Set proxy for Tor:
+
+----
+/set irc.server.irc-tor.proxy "tor"
+----
+
+Set SASL authentication with ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE (see the chapter
+<<irc_sasl_ecdsa_nist256p_challenge,SASL ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE>> to generate
+a private key):
+
+----
+/set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_mechanism ecdsa-nist256p-challenge
+/set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_username "your_nickname"
+/set irc.server.irc-tor.sasl_key "${weechat_config_dir}/ecdsa.pem"
+----
+
+And finally, connect to the server:
+
+----
+/connect irc-tor
+----
+
