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.

summary: Workaround for servers doing EXTERNAL without proper stream headers
...

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

This module is a workaround for servers that try to do s2s
authentication with certificates and SASL EXTERNAL, but do not send
correct stream headers. Notably Openfire versions since 3.7 or 3.8.
