Requires websocket

Authentication

Authentication of the websocket connection is done by sending the password as the first message over the socket, if authentication is successfull the server will respond with "authenticated"

The provided password is checked against two server vars

• rcon_password - the regular rcon password
• sm_webrcon_key - the webrcon only password, allows keeping the webrcon seperate from the one used for regular connections
