Community Integration: Discord Auth

“Auth Servers” are the gold standard for high-security Rust communities. By requiring players to link their Steam profiles to a verified Discord account, you gain essential tools for preventing ban evasion and rewarding donors with automated rank synchronization.

Technical Prerequisites

To achieve full synchronization, you must utilize a bot-based authentication plugin:
  1. Oxide/uMod: Must be active on your server.
  2. Plugin: Install DiscordAuth.cs or RustCord.
  3. Bot Token: Create a new application in the Discord Developer Portal and generate a secure bot token.

​
User Authentication Flow

Once active, the player experience follows a specific security handshake:
  • Join: The player connects but is frozen in place at the spawn beach.
  • Request: The player types /auth in the game chat.
  • Verification: The server provides a 5-digit code.
  • DM: The player sends this code to your server’s Discord bot.
  • Unlock: The bot verifies the link and instantly unfreezes the player in-game.

​
Ban Evasion Defense

Requiring Discord Auth forces cheaters to maintain a phone-verified Discord account just to join your server. Since Discord accounts are harder to “bulk-buy” than Steam accounts, this significantly reduces the frequency of alternate-account raids.
