mod_http_oauth2: Assume Prosody 13.0+ roles are available
Per the README, 0.12 is not supported, so we should not need to worry
about this. Plus it is assumed to be present elsewhere and that would
throw errors.

| 9 authentication attempts. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 It features an optioanal | |
| 12 [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. | |
| 13 waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Configuration | |
| 16 ============= | |
| 17 | |
| 18 ``` {.lua} | |
| 19 modules_enabled = { | |
| 20 -- your other modules | |
| 21 "limit_auth"; | |
| 22 } | |
| 23 | |
| 24 limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds | |
| 25 | |
| 26 limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts | |
