mod_bookmarks2: Fix handling of nick and password elements This form of child retrieval fails when the stanza elements internally don't have an 'xmlns' attribute, which can happen sometimes for some reason, including when they have been constructed via the stanza builder API. When that is the case then the explicit namespace arguemnt does not match the nil value of the internal attribute. Calling `:get_child()` without the namespace argument does the right thing here, with both nil and the parent namespace as valid values for the internal attribute.

summary: SQL Database authentication module
...

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

Allow client authentication to be handled by an SQL database query.

Unlike mod\_storage\_sql (which is supplied with Prosody) this module
allows for custom schemas (though currently it is required to edit the
source).

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

As with all auth modules, there is no need to add this to
modules\_enabled. Simply add in the global section, or for the relevant
hosts:

        authentication = "sql"

This module reuses the database configuration of
[mod\_storage\_sql](http://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_storage_sql) (the
'sql' option), which you can set even if you are not using SQL as
Prosody's primary storage backend.

The query is currently hardcoded in the module, so you will need to edit
the module to change it. The default query is compatible with jabberd2
DB schema.

Compatibility
