How to Enable or Disable Authentication on Your Dune 2000 Server<\/h2>\n

Securing your Dune 2000 server is vital for managing your community and preventing unauthorized access. By enabling the Require Authentication<\/strong> setting, you ensure that players must be verified before joining your matches on Arrakis. This is especially useful for competitive leagues or private clan servers. In this guide, we will show you how to toggle this security feature using the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To apply security and authentication changes, you must first stop the server process. Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>, select your Dune 2000 instance, and click the red Stop<\/strong> button. Wait for the status indicator to confirm the server is offline.<\/p>\n
