SYMPTOMS
When you create or join a chat room in Microsoft Chat using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) /join command and you assign a password, the password is not set up in the room's properties.



CAUSE
Most IRC servers do not set a channel key (password). In addition, Microsoft Chat passes only the join request to the server when you use the Join Room channel key.



STATUS
This behavior is by design. It is a server-specific feature and is essentially a server limitation, not a client limitation.
