--- labels: summary: 'Test account credentials using HTTP' ... Introduction ------------ This module lets you test whether a set of credentials are valid, using Prosody's configured authentication mechanism. This is useful as an easy way to allow other (e.g. non-XMPP) applications to authenticate users using their XMPP credentials. Syntax ------ To test credentials, issue a simple GET request with HTTP basic auth: GET /auth_check HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic <base64(jid:password)> Prosody will return a 2xx code on success (user exists and credentials are correct), or 401 if the credentials are invalid. Any other code may be returned if there is a problem handling the request. ### Example usage Here follows some example usage using `curl`. curl http://prosody.local:5280/auth_check -u user@example.com:secr1t
