mod_pubsub_post: Restructure authentication and authorization (BC) This deprecates the default "superuser" actor model and makes the default equivalent to the previous "request.id". A single actor and secret per node is supported because HTTP and WebHooks don't normally include any authorization identity. Allowing authentication bypass when no secret is given should be relatively safe when the actor is unprivileged, as will be unless explicitly configured otherwise.

summary: 'Disable access control for all OMEMO related PEP nodes'
---

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

Traditionally OMEMO encrypted messages could only be exchanged after gaining mutual presence subscription due to the OMEMO key material being stored in PEP.

XEP-0060 defines a method of changing the access model of a PEP node from `presence` to `open`. However Prosody does not yet support access models on PEP nodes.

This module disables access control for all OMEMO PEP nodes (=all nodes in the namespace of `eu.siacs.conversations.axolotl.*`), giving everyone access to the OMEMO key material and allowing them to start OMEMO sessions with users on this server.

Disco feature
=============

This modules annouces a disco feature on the account to allow external tools such as the [Compliance Tester](https://conversations.im/compliance/) to check if this module has been installed.


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