mod_http_oauth2: Return Authentication Time per OpenID Core Section 2 Mandatory To Implement, either MUST include or OPTIONAL depending on things we don't look at, so might as well include it all the time. Since we do not persist authentication state with cookies or such, the authentication time will always be some point between the user being sent to the authorization endpoint and the time they are sent back to the client application.

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

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

Dependencies
============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"

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

Compatible with 0.9 and up
