mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC) This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the default equivalent to the previous "request.id". A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity. Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless explicitly configured otherwise.

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

This module allows users to reset their password via a simple link to a web page.

Reset links may be generated by an admin through their XMPP client using the ad-hoc
command that this module provides. Alternatively other modules may reuse this module
to generate links and e.g. send them via email to the user directly.

A link is only valid for a single reset, and expires after a duration (24 hours by default).

This module depends on Prosody's internal webserver.
