# profanity-register(1)

## NAME

/register

## DESCRIPTION

Register an account on a server.

## SYNOPSIS

/register \<username\> \<server\> \[port \<port\>\] \[tls force\|allow\|trust\|direct\|disable\|legacy\]

## ARGUMENTS

**\<username\>**

Username to register with.

**\<server\>**

Server to register account on.

**port \<port\>**

The port to use if different to the default (5222, or 5223 for SSL).

**tls force**

Force TLS connection, and fail if one cannot be established. This is the default behavior.

**tls allow**

Use TLS for the connection if it is available.

**tls trust**

Force TLS connection and trust the server's certificate.

**tls direct**

Use direct TLS for the connection. It means TLS handshake is started right after TCP connection is established.

**tls disable**

Disable TLS for the connection.

**tls legacy**

Alternative keyword for 'direct', which was created when one still thought that 'STARTTLS' is the future.
