How To Set a Password On Your Eco Server
Password protect your Eco dedicated server, plus how to combine passwords with the whitelist for trusted players.
Setting a password restricts access to players who know it. Combined with the whitelist, you can let trusted players bypass the password while keeping the server semi-private.
Set a Password
Stop your server
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop your server.
Open Network.eco
Click Files in the sidebar, navigate to the Configs folder, and open Network.eco.
Set the password
Find the Password field and enter your password:
"Password": "yourpassword"To remove the password and make the server public, set it to an empty string:
"Password": ""Save and start
Click Save Content and start the server from Console.
Whitelist + Password
Whitelisted players bypass the password requirement. This lets trusted players join without needing the password while everyone else still has to enter it.
Important: The whitelist on its own does not restrict access. It only ignores the password for listed players. You must also have a password set for this to act as access control.
Open Users.eco
In Files, navigate to Configs and open Users.eco.
Add SteamID64s to the whitelist
"Whitelist": [
"76561198012345678",
"76561198087654321"
]Save and restart
Click Save Content and restart from Console.
