mod_http_oauth2: Implement stateless dynamic client registration
Replaces previous explicit registration that required either the
additional module mod_adhoc_oauth2_client or manually editing the
database. That method was enough to have something to test with, but
would not probably not scale easily.
Dynamic client registration allows creating clients on the fly, which
may be even easier in theory.
In order to not allow basically unauthenticated writes to the database,
we implement a stateless model here.
per_host_key := HMAC(config -> oauth2_registration_key, hostname)
client_id := JWT { client metadata } signed with per_host_key
client_secret := HMAC(per_host_key, client_id)
This should ensure everything we need to know is part of the client_id,
allowing redirects etc to be validated, and the client_secret can be
validated with only the client_id and the per_host_key.
A nonce injected into the client_id JWT should ensure nobody can submit
the same client metadata and retrieve the same client_secret

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: 'XEP-0191: Simple Communications Blocking support' ... Introduction ============ Privacy lists are a widely implemented protocol for instructing your server on blocking communications with selected users and services. However experience has shown that the power and flexibility of the rule-based system that privacy lists allow is very often much more complex than the user needs, and that in most cases a simple block on all communications to or from a list of specified JIDs would suffice. Such a protocol would also allow much simpler user interface design than the current attempts at full privacy list interfaces. Details ======= Simple Communications Blocking was developed to solve the above issues, and allows the client to manage a simple list of blocked JIDs. This plugin implements support for that protocol in Prosody, however the actual blocking is still managed by mod\_privacy, so it is **required** for that plugin to be loaded (this may change in future). An XEP-0191 implementation without dependency on mod\_privacy is available in Prosody 0.10 as [mod\_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist]. Configuration ============= Simply ensure that mod\_privacy (or [mod\_privacy\_lists] in 0.10+) and mod\_blocking are loaded in your modules\_enabled list: modules_enabled = { -- ... "privacy", -- or privacy_lists in Prosody 0.10+ "blocking", -- ... Compatibility ============= ------ --------------------------------------------- 0.10 Works but will conflict with mod\_blocklist 0.9 Works 0.8 Works 0.7 Works 0.6 Doesn't work ------ ---------------------------------------------
