mod_http_oauth2: Apply refresh token ttl to refresh token instead of grant
The intent in 59d5fc50f602 was for refresh tokens to extend the lifetime
of the grant, but the refresh token ttl was applied to the grant and
mod_tokenauth does not change it, leading to the grant expiring
regardless of refresh token usage.
This makes grant lifetimes unlimited, which seems to be standard
practice in the wild.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Merged' - 'Type-Auth' summary: LDAP authentication module ... Introduction ============ This is a Prosody authentication plugin which uses LDAP as the backend. Dependecies =========== This module depends on [LuaLDAP](https://github.com/lualdap/lualdap) for connecting to an LDAP server. Configuration ============= Copy the module to the prosody modules/plugins directory. In Prosody's configuration file, under the desired host section, add: ``` {.lua} authentication = "ldap" ldap_base = "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" ``` Further LDAP options are: Name Description Default value --------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- ldap\_base LDAP base directory which stores user accounts **Required field** ldap\_server Space-separated list of hostnames or IPs, optionally with port numbers (e.g. "localhost:8389") `"localhost"` ldap\_rootdn The distinguished name to auth against `""` (anonymous) ldap\_password Password for rootdn `""` ldap\_filter Search filter, with `$user` and `$host` substituted for user- and hostname `"(uid=$user)"` ldap\_scope Search scope. other values: "base" and "onelevel" `"subtree"` ldap\_tls Enable TLS (StartTLS) to connect to LDAP (can be true or false). The non-standard 'LDAPS' protocol is not supported. `false` ldap\_mode How passwords are validated. `"bind"` ldap\_admin\_filter Search filter to match admins, works like ldap\_filter **Note:** lua-ldap reads from `/etc/ldap/ldap.conf` and other files like `~prosody/.ldaprc` if they exist. Users wanting to use a particular TLS root certificate can specify it in the normal way using TLS\_CACERT in the OpenLDAP config file. Modes ===== The `"getpasswd"` mode requires plain text access to passwords in LDAP and feeds them into Prosodys authentication system. This enables more secure authentication mechanisms but does not work for all deployments. The `"bind"` mode performs an LDAP bind, does not require plain text access to passwords but limits you to the PLAIN authentication mechanism. Compatibility ============= Works with 0.8 and later.
