mod_http_oauth2: Switch to '303 See Other' redirects This is the recommendation by draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-07 section 7.5.2. It is the only redirect code that guarantees the user agent will use a GET request, rather than re-submitting a POST request to the new URL. The latter would be bad for us, as we are encoding auth tokens in the form data.

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"
