mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user(). The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event). Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do.

local jid = require "util.jid";
local st = require "util.stanza";

local nick_pattern = module:get_option_string("muc_restrict_nick_pattern", "^%w+$");

module:hook("muc-occupant-pre-join", function (event)
	local nick = jid.resource(event.occupant.nick);
	if not nick:match(nick_pattern) then
		local reply = st.error_reply(event.stanza, "modify", "policy-violation", "Unacceptable nickname, please try another");
		module:send(reply);
		return true;
	end
end);
