mod_http_oauth2: Fill in some client metadata defaults
Explicit > Implicit
Maybe we should actually use these for something as well? :)
It's is somewhat an open question of how strictly we should enforce
things in the client metadata given that it is somewhat extensible.
Especially some of these enum fields which have corresponding IANA
registries.

16 First, download and add the module to `module_enabled`. Then you can |
| 1842 | 17 decide on what policy you want to have. |
| 18 | |
| 19 Requiring ciphers with forward secrecy is the most simple to set up. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 ``` lua | |
| 22 tls_policy = "FS" -- allow only ciphers that enable forward secrecy | |
| 23 ``` | |
| 24 | |
| 25 A more complicated example: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 ``` lua | |
| 28 tls_policy = { | |
| 29 c2s = { | |
| 30 encryption = "AES"; -- Require AES (or AESGCM) encryption | |
| 31 protocol = "TLSv1.2"; -- and TLSv1.2 | |
| 32 bits = 128; -- and at least 128 bits (FIXME: remember what this meant) | |
| 33 } | |
| 34 s2s = { | |
| 35 cipher = "AESGCM"; -- Require AESGCM ciphers | |
| 36 protocol = "TLSv1.[12]"; -- and TLSv1.1 or 1.2 | |
| 37 authentication = "RSA"; -- with RSA authentication | |
| 38 }; | |
| 39 } | |
| 40 ``` | |
| 41 | |
| 42 # Compatibility | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Requires LuaSec 0.5 | |
