mod_pubsub_serverinfo: Warm-up opt-in cache
By warming up the cache that contains the opt-in data, the first publication has a better chance of including domain names for remote domains that opt-in.
Without this change, those domains are named only after the _second_ publication, which can take a while. New users are likely thrown off by that.

| 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)) | |
