mod_rest: Reject password that fails saslprep earlier (thanks tgy)
Prevents an error later if/when passing the password through saslprep a
second time in the authentication module, since the prep functions now
reject nil
The error reporting could be improved but that would involve adding a
way to pass errors back out of the check_credentials() function.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' - 'Type-Auth' summary: | Authentication module for 'HA1' hashed credentials in a text file, as used by reTurnServer ... Introduction ============ This module authenticates users against hashed credentials stored in a plain text file. The format is the same as that used by reTurnServer. Configuration ============= Name Default Description ----------------- ---------- --------------------------------- auth\_ha1\_file auth.txt Path to the authentication file Prosody reads the auth file at startup and on reload (e.g. SIGHUP). File Format =========== The file format is text, with one user per line. Each line is broken into four fields separated by colons (':'): username:ha1:host:status Field Description ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- username The user's login name ha1 An MD5 hash of "username:host:password" host The XMPP hostname status The status of the account. Prosody expects this to be just the text "authorized" More info can be found [here](https://github.com/resiprocate/resiprocate/blob/master/reTurn/users.txt). Example ------- john:2a236a1a68765361c64da3b502d4e71c:example.com:authorized mary:4ed7cf9cbe81e02dbfb814de6f84edf1:example.com:authorized charlie:83002e42eb4515ec0070489339f2114c:example.org:authorized Constructing the hashes can be done manually using any MD5 utility, such as md5sum. For example the user 'john' has the password 'hunter2', and his hash can be calculated like this: echo -n "john:example.com:hunter2" | md5sum - Compatibility ============= ------ ------- 0.9 Works 0.10 Works ------ -------
