How to Set a Password on Your The Isle Evrima Server
Add or remove a join password on your The Isle Evrima dedicated server to keep it private.
A server password prevents random players from joining. Only players who know the password can connect — useful for private community servers and testing.
Add a Password
Stop the server
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.
Set the password
Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession], set both:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerPassword=true
ServerPassword=YourPasswordHereThe password is case-sensitive. Avoid spaces — some clients have trouble with them.
Save and start
Click Save Content and start the server from Console. Players will be prompted for the password when joining.
Remove the Password
To make your server public again:
Set bServerPassword to false
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bServerPassword=falseYou can leave ServerPassword= set to a value — it's simply not enforced when bServerPassword=false. This lets you re-enable the password later by flipping the flag.
Tips
- Passwords are case-sensitive
- Don't use spaces — some clients have issues
- Share the password through a private channel (Discord, etc.)
- Combine with a whitelist for stronger access control
Password vs Whitelist
| Feature | Password | Whitelist |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Anyone with the password can join | Only specific Steam IDs can join |
| Best for | Semi-private communities | Fully private / invite-only |
| Easy to share | Yes — one password for everyone | No — each player added individually |
| Risk | Password can be leaked | Steam IDs are unique to each player |
For the strongest privacy, combine both: a password to deter random joiners + a whitelist to lock the server to known players.
