mod_http_oauth2: Validate consistency of response and grant types Ensure that these correlated fields make sense per RFC 7591 ยง 2.1, even though we currently only check the response type during authorization. This could probably all be deleted if (when!) we remove the implicit grant, since then these things don't make any sense anymore.

summary: Throttle authentication attempts with optional tarpit
...

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

This module lets you put a per-IP limit on the number of failed
authentication attempts.

It features an optioanal
[tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e.
waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response.

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

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
  -- your other modules
  "limit_auth";
}

limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds

limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts

 -- Will only work with Prosody trunk:
limit_auth_tarpit_delay = 10 -- delay answer this long
```

Compatibility
=============

Requires 0.9 or later. The tarpit feature requires Prosody trunk.
