mod_audit_auth: Ignore FAST authentication events by default
FAST is more like a cookie that allows linking new connections to a previous
(e.g. password) authentication. Since we assume that FAST tokens are secure
(not user generated) and not shareable, it reduces a lot of noise by filtering
out uninteresting authentication events.

--- labels: - Stage-Alpha ... Introduction ============ This is an experimental authentication module that does an asynchronous HTTP call to verify username and password. Details ======= When a user attempts to authenticate to Prosody, this module takes the username and password and does a HTTP GET request with [Basic authentication][rfc7617] to the configured `http_auth_url`. Configuration ============= ``` lua VirtualHost "example.com" authentication = "http_async" http_auth_url = "http://example.com/auth" ``` Compatibility ============= Requires Prosody trunk
