set sv_privateClients "#"

#set this to the number of slots you want to be taken up as private slots... to make a full password protected server with 16 people, make it 16.


set sv_privatePassword "*******"

#set this to the password your clan must type before joining. In the console, they must type password "*******" then they can connect any way they'd like to join as a private client.

i tried everhting u just said,but to no avail it does not work.i bought this server thru www.ilangame.com ....is there anything special i need to do to my FTP files in order for this to work?

All you need to do is put that in the CFG file. Maybe you can even do it in CKA or something. I don't know about how iLAN works, sorry.

Hey, the basic server config for this:[code:1]set sv_maxclients 20 // Set it to max for your ILan server
set sv_privateclients 20 // Set it same as sv_maxclients
set sv_privatepassword "yourpassword"
set password "" // MUST BE BLANK ON THE SERVER[/code:1]
Kick everyone out of the server and start a map (don't just restart, you must call map blahblahblah).

Each client/player needs to open their console and enter set password "yourpassword" before they connect.

What you are doing here is to reserv all the spots fore clients.
This is not how to set a password on the server.
That is mostly used to save spot`s fore clanmembers or admins.

What you need:

In Cfg file or on the server:
And if you do it in the cfg file you must restart your server again.
or you have to exec xxx.cfg file again to get the new config started.
set sv_privatepassword "Cobra"
set password "Cobra"

Remote:
rcon set sv_privatepassword "Cobra"
rcon set password "Cobra"

Then the server is set with the password Cobra.

To take it away:

In cfg file:
//set sv_privatepassword "Cobra"
//set password "Cobra"

in server:
set sv_privatepassword ""
set password ""

Remote:
rcon set privatepassword ""
rcon set password ""

Then the password is gone.
