mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if they have it cached already. This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which caused problems for some clients. If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed. The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization. Otherwise it is very close to what's described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-avatars.html

summary: Library module for LDAP
...

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

This module is used by other modules to access an LDAP server. It's
pretty useless on its own; you should use it if you want to write your
own LDAP-related module, or if you want to use one of mine
([mod\_auth\_ldap2](mod_auth_ldap2.html),
[mod\_storage\_ldap](mod_storage_ldap.html)).

Installation
============

Simply copy ldap.lib.lua into your Prosody installation's plugins
directory.

Configuration
=============

Configuration for this module (and all modules that use it) goes into
the *ldap* section of your prosody.cfg.lua file. Each plugin that uses
it may add their own sections; this plugin relies on the following keys:

-   hostname - Where your LDAP server is located
-   bind\_dn - The DN to perform queries as
-   bind\_password - The password to use for queries
-   use\_tls - Whether or not TLS should be used to connect to the LDAP
    server
-   user.usernamefield - The LDAP field that contains a user's username
-   user.basedn - The base DN for user records

API
===

ldap.getconnection()
--------------------

Returns an LDAP connection object corresponding to the configuration in
prosody.cfg.lua. The connection object is a
[LuaLDAP](http://www.keplerproject.org/lualdap/) connection.

ldap.getparams()
----------------

Returns the LDAP configuration provided in prosody.cfg.lua. Use this if
you want to stick some configuration information for your module into
the LDAP section in the configuration file.

ldap.bind(username, password)
-----------------------------

Verifies that *username* and *password* bind ok. **NOTE**: This does not
bind the current LDAP connection to the given username!

ldap.singlematch(query)
-----------------------

Used to fetch a single LDAP record given an LDAP query. A convenience
function.

ldap.filter.combine\_and(...)
-----------------------------

Takes a list of LDAP filter expressions and returns a filter expression
that results in the intersection of each given expression (it ANDs them
together).
