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.

summary: Library module for LDAP
...

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

This module is used by other modules to access an LDAP server. It's
pretty useless on its own; you should use it if you want to write your
own LDAP-related module, or if you want to use one of mine
([mod\_auth\_ldap2](mod_auth_ldap2.html),
[mod\_storage\_ldap](mod_storage_ldap.html)).

Installation
============

Simply copy ldap.lib.lua into your Prosody installation's plugins
directory.

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

Configuration for this module (and all modules that use it) goes into
the *ldap* section of your prosody.cfg.lua file. Each plugin that uses
it may add their own sections; this plugin relies on the following keys:

-   hostname - Where your LDAP server is located
-   bind\_dn - The DN to perform queries as
-   bind\_password - The password to use for queries
-   use\_tls - Whether or not TLS should be used to connect to the LDAP
    server
-   user.usernamefield - The LDAP field that contains a user's username
-   user.basedn - The base DN for user records

API
===

ldap.getconnection()
--------------------

Returns an LDAP connection object corresponding to the configuration in
prosody.cfg.lua. The connection object is a
[LuaLDAP](http://www.keplerproject.org/lualdap/) connection.

ldap.getparams()
----------------

Returns the LDAP configuration provided in prosody.cfg.lua. Use this if
you want to stick some configuration information for your module into
the LDAP section in the configuration file.

ldap.bind(username, password)
-----------------------------

Verifies that *username* and *password* bind ok. **NOTE**: This does not
bind the current LDAP connection to the given username!

ldap.singlematch(query)
-----------------------

Used to fetch a single LDAP record given an LDAP query. A convenience
function.

ldap.filter.combine\_and(...)
-----------------------------

Takes a list of LDAP filter expressions and returns a filter expression
that results in the intersection of each given expression (it ANDs them
together).
