mod_http_oauth2: Record hash of client_id to allow future verification RFC 6819 section 5.2.2.2 states that refresh tokens MUST be bound to the client. In order to do that, we must record something that can definitely tie the client to the grant. Since the full client_id is so large (why we have this client_subset function), a hash is stored instead.

summary: Log failed authentication attempts with their IP address
...

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

Prosody doesn't write IP addresses to its log file by default for
privacy reasons (unless debug logging is enabled).

This module enables logging of the IP address in a failed authentication
attempt so that those trying to break into accounts for example can be
blocked.

fail2ban configuration
======================

fail2ban is a utility for monitoring log files and automatically
blocking "bad" IP addresses at the firewall level.

With this module enabled in Prosody you can use the following example
configuration for fail2ban:

    # /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/prosody-auth.conf
    # Fail2Ban configuration file for prosody authentication
    [Definition]
    failregex = Failed authentication attempt \(not-authorized\) for user .* from IP: <HOST>
    ignoreregex =

And at the appropriate place (usually the bottom) of
/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf add these lines:

    [prosody]
    enabled = true
    port    = 5222
    filter  = prosody-auth
    logpath = /var/log/prosody/prosody*.log
    maxretry = 6
