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

--- summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120 ... This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to` attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]: > ## 4.7.2. to > > For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and > server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the > 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the > initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service. As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285), Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that don't follow this. # Known servers affected * Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
