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

summary: 'XEP-077 IBR registration URL redirect'
---

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

Registration redirect to out of band URL as described in  [XEP-0077: In-Band Registration](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.html#redirect).

Details
=======

The already existing module `mod_register_redirect` doesn’t add a stream feature advertising its capabilities  and thus doesn’t work with clients like Conversations.

This module tries to take a simpler and more straight forward approach for admins who just want to redirect to an URL and do not need the features provided by `mod_register_redirect`.

Usage
=====

Set `allow_registration` to `false` and point `register_oob_url` to the URL that handles your registration.

Compatibility
=============
