mod_http_oauth2: Add option for specifying TTL of registered clients
Meant to simplify configuration, since TTL vs ignoring expiration is
expected to be the main thing one would want to configure.
Unsure what the implications of having unlimited lifetime of clients
are, given no way to revoke them currently, short of rotating the
signing secret.
On one hand, it would be annoying to have the client expire.
On the other hand, it is trivial to re-register it.

--- summary: Throttle authentication attempts with optional tarpit ... Introduction ============ This module lets you put a per-IP limit on the number of failed authentication attempts. It features an optioanal [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. Configuration ============= ``` {.lua} modules_enabled = { -- your other modules "limit_auth"; } limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts -- Will only work with Prosody trunk: limit_auth_tarpit_delay = 10 -- delay answer this long ``` Compatibility ============= Requires 0.9 or later. The tarpit feature requires Prosody trunk.
