Fletcher - Would it be possible to add in a command to make the server give us the on-boot authentication string at will? It doesn't seem to report that on map change, only when the server is first starting up, and if your server happens to be populated at the time, it's a death sentence to ask us to reboot the server just to check if we're authenticating correctly.
Also: my server's identity token didn't have quote marks in it, so I added that and I'm testing now. But, my other 3 servers don't have quote marks either, so it's strange that just the one server would be having the problem. There was no = sign in the token string.
