mod_http_oauth2: Implement stateless dynamic client registration
Replaces previous explicit registration that required either the
additional module mod_adhoc_oauth2_client or manually editing the
database. That method was enough to have something to test with, but
would not probably not scale easily.
Dynamic client registration allows creating clients on the fly, which
may be even easier in theory.
In order to not allow basically unauthenticated writes to the database,
we implement a stateless model here.
per_host_key := HMAC(config -> oauth2_registration_key, hostname)
client_id := JWT { client metadata } signed with per_host_key
client_secret := HMAC(per_host_key, client_id)
This should ensure everything we need to know is part of the client_id,
allowing redirects etc to be validated, and the client_secret can be
validated with only the client_id and the per_host_key.
A nonce injected into the client_id JWT should ensure nobody can submit
the same client metadata and retrieve the same client_secret

--- labels: Stage-Beta summary: Host status heartbeat ... Introduction ============ This module integrates with [mod\_host\_status\_check] to provide heartbeats at regular intervals. The only time you will generally want this, is if you are using [mod\_component\_client] to run Prosody as an external component of another Prosody server that has [mod\_host\_status\_check] loaded and waiting for heartbeats. Alternatively you can run this on the same Prosody host as [mod\_http\_host\_status\_check] and it will simply update a variable periodically to indicate that Prosody and timers are functional. Configuration ============= The following configuration options are supported: ```{.lua} -- The number of seconds to wait between sending heartbeats status_check_heartbeat_interval = 5 -- Set this to "remote" (the default) if you are using mod_component_client -- and you want to send a heartbeat to a remote server. Otherwise -- set it to "local" to send to mod_host_status_check on the same server. status_check_heartbeat_mode = "remote" ``` Compatibility ============= Works with Prosody 0.9.x and later.
