mod_invites_page: Remove preauth URI button
This button is incompatible with the majority of XMPP clients around, yet based
on feedback from users, many are drawn to click it when they have any XMPP client
installed already.
In the case where the user already has software installed, we would prefer them to
select it from the software list so they can follow the setup process suited to
their specific client (we already track which software supports preauth URIs). If
their client is not listed, they can still use the manual registration link instead.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' - 'Type-Auth' summary: | Authentication module for 'HA1' hashed credentials in a text file, as used by reTurnServer ... Introduction ============ This module authenticates users against hashed credentials stored in a plain text file. The format is the same as that used by reTurnServer. Configuration ============= Name Default Description ----------------- ---------- --------------------------------- auth\_ha1\_file auth.txt Path to the authentication file Prosody reads the auth file at startup and on reload (e.g. SIGHUP). File Format =========== The file format is text, with one user per line. Each line is broken into four fields separated by colons (':'): username:ha1:host:status Field Description ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- username The user's login name ha1 An MD5 hash of "username:host:password" host The XMPP hostname status The status of the account. Prosody expects this to be just the text "authorized" More info can be found [here](https://github.com/resiprocate/resiprocate/blob/master/reTurn/users.txt). Example ------- john:2a236a1a68765361c64da3b502d4e71c:example.com:authorized mary:4ed7cf9cbe81e02dbfb814de6f84edf1:example.com:authorized charlie:83002e42eb4515ec0070489339f2114c:example.org:authorized Constructing the hashes can be done manually using any MD5 utility, such as md5sum. For example the user 'john' has the password 'hunter2', and his hash can be calculated like this: echo -n "john:example.com:hunter2" | md5sum - Compatibility ============= ------ ------- 0.9 Works 0.10 Works ------ -------
