mod_http_oauth2: Add support for the "openid" scope This "openid" scope is there to signal access to the userinfo endpoint, which is needed for OIDC support. We don't actually check this later because the userinfo endpoint only returns info embedded in the token itself, but in the future we may want to check this more carefully.

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

Dependencies
============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"
