−    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"

−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 -
