Please read the following helptext from Asterisk.org:

"The Asterisk channel now requires that your nick be registered with the Freenode Nickerv in order to participate. This measure has been 
taken to combat spambots and the like. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please "/msg NickServ help register" in your IRC client to learn 
how to register your nick"

This has nothing to do with identd. Run the command and you'll get assistance.
