Is it possible to detect that connection proposal is from bot?
Hi, is it possible to detect if it is normal user or bot connecting to my AIM application? Will be nice to know it immediatelly on AccSecondarySessionState_ReceivedProposal.

Thanks

Yes, test for the flag AccUserFlags_Bot.

Thanks for answer. But seems like this flag is not set. I used name registered as bot to connect to my app. Checked it on receiving IM message from bot.

Here is code I tried:

bool TestForBot(IAccParticipant* pPart)
{
IAccUser* pUser;

HRESULT res = pPart->get_User(&pUser);
if (pUser) // check result too
{
xp_u32 f;
AIMCC::get_Flags(pUser, &f);
if(f & AccUserFlags_Bot)
return true;
}
return false;
}

The flag is only set for commercial bots and not to screen names that you
"bot"-ify. How did you register your BOT?

I have simply bot-ified this name (syfierbot2). So where is no way to detect such bot?

I'm trying to protect my bot from other bots. My bot will post information to users of my site (access to bot is not free). So I don't want other bots to rebroadcast this information to not subscribed users.

Unfortunately there is no way to detect a botified SN on the dev site, the
flag is only set for commercial BOTs.
