mod_invites_page: Change client selection button text from 'Install' to 'Select' by default This also allows specific clients entries to override the text via the 'select_text' field. Rationale: 1) users may already have the software installed, we still want them to select it anyway for the tailored setup experience. 2) some clients (e.g. web clients) are not really "installed" so the text was misleading

---

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

Dependencies
============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"

Compatibility
=============

Compatible with 0.9 and up
