mod_rest: Replace 'oob_url' with datamapper-native 'oob'
While 'oob_url' is simpler and covers all current use, it's harder to
describe the XML mapping.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Stable' summary: Log failed authentication attempts with their IP address ... Introduction ============ Prosody doesn't write IP addresses to its log file by default for privacy reasons (unless debug logging is enabled). This module enables logging of the IP address in a failed authentication attempt so that those trying to break into accounts for example can be blocked. fail2ban configuration ====================== fail2ban is a utility for monitoring log files and automatically blocking "bad" IP addresses at the firewall level. With this module enabled in Prosody you can use the following example configuration for fail2ban: # /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/prosody-auth.conf # Fail2Ban configuration file for prosody authentication [Definition] failregex = Failed authentication attempt \(not-authorized\) for user .* from IP: <HOST> ignoreregex = And at the appropriate place (usually the bottom) of /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf add these lines: [prosody] enabled = true port = 5222 filter = prosody-auth logpath = /var/log/prosody/prosody*.log maxretry = 6 Compatibility ------------- ------- -------------- trunk Works 0.9 Works 0.8 Doesn't work ------- --------------
