4 summary: "Fast Authentication Streamlining Tokens"
5 ---
6
7 This module implements a mechanism via which clients can exchange a password
8 for a secure token, improving security and streamlining future reconnections.
9
10 At the time of writing, the XEP that describes the FAST protocol is still
11 working its way through the XSF standards process. You can [view the FAST XEP
12 proposal here](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-fast.html).
13
14 This module depends on [mod_sasl2].

16 ## Configuration
17
18 | Name | Description | Default |
19 |---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
20 | sasl2_fast_token_ttl | Default token expiry (seconds) | `86400*21` (21 days) |
21 | sasl2_fast_token_min_ttl | Time before tokens are eligible for rotation (seconds) | `86400` (1 day) |
22
23 The `sasl2_fast_token_ttl` option determines the length of time a client can
24 remain disconnected before being "logged out" and needing to authenticate with
25 a password. Clients must perform at least one FAST authentication within this
26 period to remain active.
27
28 The `sasl2_fast_token_min_ttl` option defines how long before a token will be
29 rotated by the server. By default a token is rotated if it is older than 24
30 hours. This value should be less than `sasl2_fast_token_ttl` to prevent
31 clients being logged out unexpectedly.
