mod_http_oauth2: Use more compact IDs UUIDs are nice but so verbose! The reduction in entropy for the nonce should be fine since the timestamp is also counts towards this, and it changes every second (modulo clock shenanigans), so the chances of someone managing to get the same client_secret by registering with the same information at the same time as another entity should be negligible.

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_page]
- [mod_invites_register]
- [mod_invites_register_web]
- [mod_invites_api]
- [mod_register_apps]

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

Details
=======

mod_invites_adhoc allows XMPP clients to create new invites on the server.
Clients must support either XEP-0401 (Easy Onboarding) or XEP-0050 (Ad-hoc
commands).

There are three types of invitation that can be created:

| Invite type | Description |
|--|--|
| Account-only invites | These can be used to register a new account |
| Contact-only invites | These can be shared with a contact so they can easily add you to their contact list |
| Account-and-contact invites | Like a contact-only invite, but also allows the contact to register on the current server if they don't already have an XMPP account |

Only configured admins of the server are able to create account-only invites. By default
normal users may only create contact-only invites, but account-and-contact invites can
be enabled with the `allow_user_invites` option.

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

| Name                  | Description                                                           | Default                                   |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| allow_user_invites    | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to register on this server| `false`                                   |
| allow_contact_invites | Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to their roster           | `true`                                    |

The `allow_user_invites` option should be set as desired. However it is
strongly recommended to leave the other option (`allow_contact_invites`)
at its default to provide the best user experience.
