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

--- labels: - Stage-Alpha summary: XMPP-layer access control for Prosody --- Introduction ============ This module enforces access policies using Prosody's new [roles and permissions framework](https://prosody.im/doc/developers/permissions). It can be used to grant restricted access to an XMPP account or services. This module is still in its early stages, and prone to change. Feedback from testers is welcome. At this early stage, it should not be solely relied upon for account security purposes. Configuration ============= There is no configuration, apart from Prosody's normal roles and permissions configuration. Permissions =========== `xmpp:federate` : Communicate with other users and services on other hosts on the XMPP network `xmpp:account:messages:read` : Read incoming messages `xmpp:account:messages:write` : Send outgoing messages `xmpp:account:presence:write` : Update presence for the account `xmpp:account:contacts:read`/`xmpp:account:contacts:write` : Controls access to the contact list (roster) `xmpp:account:bookmarks:read`/`xmpp:account:bookmarks:write` : Controls access to the bookmarks (group chats list) `xmpp:account:profile:read`/`xmpp:account:profile:write` : Controls access to the user's profile (e.g. vCard/avatar) `xmpp:account:omemo:read`/`xmpp:account:omemo:write` : Controls access to the user's OMEMO data `xmpp:account:blocklist:read`/`xmpp:account:blocklist:write` : Controls access to the user's block list `xmpp:account:disco:read` : Controls access to the user's service discovery information Compatibility ============= Requires Prosody trunk 72f431b4dc2c (build 1444) or later.
