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-Deprecated' summary: 'Allows users to invite new users' ... **NOTE:** This module has been deprecated. Its functionality has been moved to other modules, see the mod_invites documentation for details. Introduction ============ This module allows users with an account to generate single-use invite URLs using an ad-hoc command. The invite URLs allow new users to create an account even if public registration is disabled. After the account is created, the inviter and the invitee are automatically added to the other's roster. The inviter of a user is stored, so can be used later (for example, for detecting spammers). This module depends on Prosody's internal webserver. Compatibility ============= ----- ------- 0.9 Works ----- -------
