How to Set a Password on Your Arma Reforger Server
Password protect your Arma Reforger dedicated server to restrict access to approved players.
The server password controls who can join the server. It's separate from the admin password, which controls who has admin access. See Admin Setup for the admin password.
Server passwords must be alphanumeric only — no spaces or special characters.
Set the Server Password
Enter your password in the Server Password field. To remove it and make the server public, leave the field empty.
Save and restart
Click Save Changes and restart from Console.
Edit config.json
Click Files in the sidebar and open config.json. Set:
"game": {
"password": "YourPassword"
}For a public server:
"game": {
"password": ""
}Server Password vs Admin Password
| Setting | Purpose | Field |
|---|---|---|
| Server password | Required to join the server | game.password |
| Admin password | Required to use #login for admin access | game.passwordAdmin |
These are independent — you can have either, both, or neither.
