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

summary: Client Certificate authentication module
...

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

This module implements PKI-style client certificate authentication. You
will therefore need your own Certificate Authority. How to set that up
is beyond the current scope of this document.

Configuration
=============


    authentication = "ccert"
    certificate_match = "xmppaddr" -- or "email"

    c2s_ssl = {
        cafile = "/path/to/your/ca.pem";
        capath = false; -- Disable capath inherited from built-in default
        verify = {"peer"; "client_once"}; -- Ask for client certificate
        verifyext = {
            -- Don't validate client certs as if they were server certs
            lsec_ignore_purpose = false
        }
    }


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

  ----------------- --------------
  trunk             Works
  0.10 and later    Works
  0.9 and earlier   Doesn't work
  ----------------- --------------
