mod_http_oauth2: Fix removal of consumed authorization codes
Fixes mod_http_oauth2.lua:34: bad argument #2 to 'difftime' (number expected, got nil)
The extra preceding argument to :set stored the client-id#code as a value
instead of clearing the key, and then later in the periodic cleanup
timer this string would be indexed, producing a nil and a traceback

--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' summary: 'XEP-0356 (Privileged Entity) implementation' ... Introduction ============ Privileged Entity is an extension which allows entity/component to have privileged access to server (set/get roster, send message on behalf of server, send IQ stanza on behalf of user, access presence information). It can be used to build services independently of server (e.g.: PEP service). Details ======= You can have all the details by reading the [XEP-0356](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0356.html). Only the latest version of the XEP is implemented (using namespace `urn:xmpp:privilege:2`), if your component use an older version, please update. Note that roster permission is not fully implemented yet, roster pushes are not yet sent to privileged entity. Usage ===== To use the module, like usual add **"privilege"** to your modules\_enabled. Note that if you use it with a local component, you also need to activate the module in your component section: modules_enabled = { [...] "privilege"; } [...] Component "pubsub.yourdomain.tld" component_secret = "yourpassword" modules_enabled = {"privilege"} then specify privileged entities **in your host section** like that: VirtualHost "yourdomain.tld" privileged_entities = { ["romeo@montaigu.lit"] = { roster = "get"; presence = "managed_entity"; }, ["juliet@capulet.lit"] = { roster = "both"; message = "outgoing"; presence = "roster"; }, ["pubsub.yourdomain.tld"] = { roster = "get"; message = "outgoing"; presence = "roster"; iq = { ["http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"] = "set"; }; }, } Here *romeo@montaigu.lit* can **get** roster of anybody on the host, and will **have presence for any user** of the host, while *juliet@capulet.lit* can **get** and **set** a roster, **send messages** on behalf of the server, and **access presence of anybody linked to the host** (not only people on the server, but also people in rosters of users of the server). *pubsub.yourdomain.tld* is a Pubsub/PEP component which can **get** roster of anybody on the host, **send messages** on the behalf of the server, **access presence of anybody linked to the host**, and **send IQ stanza of type "set" for the namespace "http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"** (this can be used to implement XEP-0376 "Pubsub Account Management"). **/!\\ Be extra careful when you give a permission to an entity/component, it's a powerful access, only do it if you absolutely trust the component/entity, and you know where the software is coming from** Configuration ============= roster ------ All the permissions give access to all accounts of the virtual host. -------- ------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- roster none *(default)* No access to rosters get Allow **read** access to rosters set Allow **write** access to rosters both Allow **read** and **write** access to rosters -------- ------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- Note that roster implementation is incomplete at the moment, roster pushes are not yet send to privileged entity. message ------- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ none *(default)* Can't send message from server outgoing Allow to send message on behalf of server (from bare jids) ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ presence -------- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ none *(default)* Do not have extra presence information managed\_entity Receive presence stanzas (except subscriptions) from host users roster Receive all presence stanzas (except subsciptions) from host users and people in their rosters ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ iq -- IQ permission is a table mapping allowed namespaces to allowed stanza type. When a namespace is specified, IQ stanza of the specified type (see below) can be sent if and only if the first child element of the IQ stanza has the specified namespace. See https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0356.html#iq for details. Allowed stanza type: -------- ------------------------------------------- get Allow IQ stanza of type **get** set Allow IQ stanza of type **set** both Allow IQ stanza of type **get** and **set** -------- ------------------------------------------- Compatibility ============= If you use it with Prosody 0.9 and with a component, you need to patch core/mod\_component.lua to fire a new signal. To do it, copy the following patch in a, for example, /tmp/component.patch file: ``` {.patch} diff --git a/plugins/mod_component.lua b/plugins/mod_component.lua --- a/plugins/mod_component.lua +++ b/plugins/mod_component.lua @@ -85,6 +85,7 @@ session.type = "component"; module:log("info", "External component successfully authenticated"); session.send(st.stanza("handshake")); + module:fire_event("component-authenticated", { session = session }); return true; end ``` Then, at the root of prosody, enter: `patch -p1 < /tmp/component.patch` ----- -------------------------------------------------- trunk Works 0.12 Works 0.11 Works 0.10 Works 0.9 Need a patched core/mod\_component.lua (see above) ----- -------------------------------------------------- Note ==== This module is often used with mod\_delegation (c.f. XEP for more details)
