mod_sasl2_fast: Fix harmless off-by-one error (invalidates existing tokens!) Problem: This was causing the key to become "<token>--cur" instead of the expected "<token>-cur". As the same key was used by the code to both set and get, it still worked. Rationale for change: Although it worked, it's unintended, inconsistent and messy. It increases the chances of future bugs due to the unexpected format. Side-effects of change: Existing '--cur' entries will not be checked after this change, and therefore existing FAST clients will fail to authenticate until they attempt password auth and obtain a new FAST token. Existing '--cur' entries in storage will not be cleaned up by this commit, but this is considered a minor issue, and okay for the relatively few FAST deployments.

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

This module is part of the suite of modules that implement invite-based
account registration for Prosody. The other modules are:

- [mod_invites]
- [mod_invites_adhoc]
- [mod_invites_page]
- [mod_invites_register]
- [mod_invites_api]
- [mod_register_apps]

For details and a full overview, start with the [mod_invites] documentation.

Details
=======

mod_invites_register_web implements a web-based registration form that
validates invite tokens. It also supports guiding the user through client
download and configuration via mod_register_apps.

There is no specific configuration for this module (though it uses the
optional `site_name` to override the displayed site name.

You may also set `webchat_url` to the URL of a web chat that will be linked
to after successful registration. If not specified but mod_conversejs is loaded
on the current host, it will default to the URL of that module.

This module depends on mod_invites_page solely for the case where an invalid
invite token is received - it will redirect to mod_invites_page so that an
appropriate error can be served to the user.

The module also depends on [mod_password_policy] (which will be automatically
loaded). As a consequence of this module being loaded, the default password
policies will be enforced for all registrations on the server if not
explicitly loaded or configured.
