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: - Statistics summary: Implementation of the Prometheus protocol ... Description =========== This module implements the Prometheus reporting protocol, allowing you to collect statistics directly from Prosody into Prometheus. See the [Prometheus documentation][prometheusconf] on the format for more information. [prometheusconf]: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/ **Note:** For use with Prosody trunk (0.12) we recommend the bundled [mod_http_openmetrics](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_http_openmetrics) instead. This module (mod_prometheus) will continue to be available in the community repository for use with older Prosody versions. Configuration ============= mod\_prometheus itself doesn’t have any configuration option, but it requires Prosody’s [internal statistics provider](https://prosody.im/doc/statistics#built-in_providers) to be enabled. You may also want to change the default collection interval to the one your statistics consumer is using. See below for more information. ```lua statistics = "internal" statistics_interval = 15 -- in seconds ``` ::: {.alert .alert-warning} **NOTE:** Make sure to put the statistics variables in the global section of the configuration, **not** in a `VirtualHost` or `Component` section. You can use `prosodyctl check` if you are unsure and want to check your configuration. ::: See also the documentation of Prosody’s [HTTP server](https://prosody.im/doc/http), since Prometheus is an HTTP protocol that is how you can customise its URL. The default one being http://localhost:5280/metrics Scrape interval vs statistics_interval -------------------------------------- The `statistics_interval` should be set to `"manual"` on trunk if and only if you have a single Prometheus instance scraping Prosody. This will allow the internal statistics gathering to run optimally. If you have multiple instances scraping Prosody, set `statistics_interval` to the scrape interval of Prometheus to avoid errors in rate calculations and similar. Future work will allow the use of `"manual"` with multiple Prometheus instances and varying scrape intervals (stay tuned). Compatibility ============= ------- ------------- trunk Works (but replaced by [mod_http_openmetrics](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_http_openmetrics)) 0.11 Works 0.10 Works 0.9 Does not work ------- -------------
