IM-Admin Plugin

Installation

To install the plugin, simply place the IM-Admin.jar into the plugins folder, located in your server directory. Start or restart your server for the config file and database file to be created. If any error messages relating to IM-Admin appear in the console or server log, first make sure that you are using the correct version of the plugin for your server. If you still see errors, post a comment and it will be looked into.

Configuration

The configuration for this plugin is very simple. There are two configurable options.

#Only allow users added to the database to connect. (Recommended)
whitelist-enabled: true

#Port number for IM-Admin server to run on.
port: 55777

whitelist-enabled
- Enable/disable the whitelist. The whitelist is used to control who can connect to the IM-Admin plugin. The clients are required to provide a username and password in order to connect to the server. If the whitelist is enabled, the login details must match with one of the users in the database or the client will be rejected.

If the whitelist is disabled, anyone will be able to connect to your server using the IM-Admin client. This isn't a big problem as clients cannot run commands on your server, but they are able to send messages to other connected clients and players on your server.

port
- Port number for the server to bind to. The specified port number is used by the server (the plugin, not your Minecraft server), for clients to connect to. Users are asked for the port number when the client is ran. If they do not know the port, they cannot connect. The default port number is 55777. You cannot use the same port number that is used for your Minecraft server.
For example, lets say that your Minecraft server's IP is 127.0.0.1 and the port is 25565. The port 25565 is already being used for the Minecraft server, so you will need to use a different one. Unless something is already using it, the default port should be fine.

If, for whatever reason, the config file cannot be created, the plugin will disable itself as it won't have a port to bind to.
