mod_http_oauth2: Advertise the currently supported id_token signing algorithm This field is REQUIRED. The algorithm RS256 MUST be included, but isn't because we don't implement it, as that would require implementing a pile of additional cryptography and JWT stuff. Instead the id_token is signed using the client secret, which allows verification by the client, since it's a shared secret per OpenID Connect Core 1.0 § 10.1 under Symmetric Signatures. OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 has a lot of REQUIRED and MUST clauses that are not supported here, but that's okay because this is served from the RFC 8414 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata .well-known endpoint!

summary: 'Store who created the invite to create a user account'

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.
