mod_http_oauth2: Shorten default token validity periods With refresh tokens, short lifetime for access tokens is not a problem. The arbitrary choice of one hour seems reasonable. RFC 6749 has it as example value. One week for refresh tokens matching the default archive retention period. This means that a client that remains unused for one week will have to sign in again. An actively used client will continually push that forward with each used refresh token.

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

Invites are an intermediate way between opening registrations completely and
closing registrations completely.

By letting users invite other users to the server, an administrator exposes
themselves again to the risk of abuse.

To combat that abuse more effectively, this module allows to store (outside
of the user’s information) who created an invite which was used to create the
user’s account.

Details
=======

Add to `modules_enabled`.

Caveats
=======

- The information is not deleted even when the associated user accounts are
  deleted.
- Currently, there is no way to make any use of that information.
