mod_http_oauth2: Implement refresh token rotation Makes refresh tokens one-time-use, handing out a new refresh token with each access token. Thus if a refresh token is stolen and used by an attacker, the next time the legitimate client tries to use the previous refresh token, it will not work and the attack will be noticed. If the attacker does not use the refresh token, it becomes invalid after the legitimate client uses it. This behavior is recommended by draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics

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

This module calculates the number of daily, weekly and monthly active users -
often abbreviated as DAU, WAU and MAU.

These metrics are more accurate for determining how many people are actually
using a service. For example simply counting registered accounts will typically
include many dormant accounts that aren't really being used. Many servers also
track the number of connected users. This is a useful metric for many purposes,
but it is generally lower than the actual number of users - because some users
may only connect at certain times of day.

The module defines "activity" as any login/logout event during the time period,
and for this it depends on mod_lastlog2 being loaded (it reads the data stored
by mod_lastlog2). Each individual user is only counted once.

"Daily" means any event within the past 24 hours, "weekly" means within the
past 7 days, and "monthly" means within the past 30 days.

Details
=======

The user count is calculated shortly after startup, and then recalculated
hourly after that.

Metrics are exported using Prosody's built-in statistics API.

There is no configuration for this module.

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

Requires Prosody 0.11 or later with mod_lastlog2 enabled.
