mod_smacks: Fix traceback due to session being destroyed in send()
Sending something can cause the OS to notice that the connection is dead
and then the connection can be dead at this point. More likely if
opportunistic_writes is enabled.

| 39 | |
| 40 Firest you need to enable the relevant modules to your Prosody.cfg file. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 Look for the line `modules_enabled` (either globally or for your | |
| 43 particular `VirtualHost`), and then add the following to tokens: | |

| 46 -- Token authentication | |
| 47 "auth_token"; | |
| 48 "sasl_token"; | |
| 49 } | |
| 50 | |
| 51 The previously generated token values also need to go into your Prosody.cfg file: | |
| 52 | |
| 53 authentication = "token"; | |
| 54 token_secret = "JYXEX4IQOEYFYQ2S3MC5P4ZT4SDHYEA7"; | |
| 55 otp_seed = "XVGR73KMZH2M4XMY"; | |

| 71 ## Generating the token | |
| 72 | |
| 73 Here's a Python snippet showing how you can generate the token that Prosody | |
| 74 will then verify: | |
| 75 | |
| 76 import base64 | |
| 77 import pyotp | |
| 78 import random | |
| 79 | |
| 80 # Constants | |
| 81 OTP_INTERVAL = 30 | |
| 82 OTP_DIGITS = 8 | |
| 83 | |
| 84 jid = '{}@{}'.format(username, domain) | |
| 85 | |
| 86 otp_service = pyotp.TOTP( | |
| 87 OTP_SEED, # OTP_SEED must be set to the value generated previously (see above) | |
| 88 digits=OTP_DIGITS, | |
| 89 interval=OTP_INTERVAL | |
| 90 ) | |
| 91 otp = otp_service.generate_otp(otp_service.timecode(datetime.utcnow())) | |
| 92 | |
| 93 nonce = ''.join([str(random.randint(0, 9)) for i in range(32)]) | |
| 94 string_to_sign = otp + nonce + jid | |
| 95 signature = hmac.new(token_secret, string_to_sign, hashlib.sha256).digest() | |
| 96 token = u"{} {}".format(otp+nonce, base64.b64encode(signature)) | |
