mod_invites_adhoc: Fail contact invite if user is not on current host
Only the username was being used, and the host of the requester ignored.
Luckily this only affects admins of the host. If they want to create an
account they can use the other command. If they want to create a contact
they should request from their account on this host.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: s2s to Tor hidden services ... Introduction ============ This plugin allows Prosody to connect to other servers that are running as a Tor hidden service. Running Prosody on a hidden service works without this module, this module is only necessary to allow Prosody to federate to hidden XMPP servers. For general info about creating a hidden service, see https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en. Usage ===== This module depends on the bit32 Lua library. To create a hidden service that can federate with other hidden XMPP servers, first add a hidden serivce to Tor. It should listen on port 5269 and optionally also on 5222 (if c2s connections to the hidden service should be allowed). Use the hostname that Tor gives with a virtualhost: VirtualHost "555abcdefhijklmn.onion" modules_enabled = { "onions" }; Configuration ============= Name Description Type Default value ---------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- --------- --------------- onions\_socks5\_host the host to connect to for Tor's SOCKS5 proxy string "127.0.0.1" onions\_socks5\_port the port to connect to for Tor's SOCKS5 proxy integer 9050 onions\_only forbid all connection attempts to non-onion servers boolean false onions\_tor\_all pass all s2s connections through Tor boolean false onions\_map override the address for a host table {} By setting `onions_map`, it is possible to override the address used to connect to a given host with the address of a hidden service. The configuration of `onions_map` works as follows: onions_map = { ["jabber.calyxinstitute.org"] = "ijeeynrc6x2uy5ob.onion"; } or, to also specify a port: onions_map = { ["jabber.calyxinstitute.org"] = { host = "ijeeynrc6x2uy5ob.onion", port = 5269 }; } Compatibility ============= ----- -------------- 0.8 Doesn't work 0.9 Works ----- -------------- Notes ===== - `onions_tor_all` does not look up SRV records first. Therefore it will fail for many servers. - mod\_onions currently does not support connecting to `.onion` entries in SRV records. Security considerations ======================= - Running a hidden service on a server together with a normal server might expose the hidden service. - A hidden service that wants to remain hidden should either disallow s2s to non-hidden servers or pass all s2s traffic through Tor (setting either `onions_only` or `onions_tor_all`).
