mod_http_oauth2: Advertise the currently supported id_token signing algorithm This field is REQUIRED. The algorithm RS256 MUST be included, but isn't because we don't implement it, as that would require implementing a pile of additional cryptography and JWT stuff. Instead the id_token is signed using the client secret, which allows verification by the client, since it's a shared secret per OpenID Connect Core 1.0 § 10.1 under Symmetric Signatures. OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 has a lot of REQUIRED and MUST clauses that are not supported here, but that's okay because this is served from the RFC 8414 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata .well-known endpoint!

summary: Authorization delegation
rockspec: {}
...

This module allows delegating authorization questions (role assignment and
role policies) to another host within prosody.

The primary use of this is for a group of virtual hosts to use a common
authorization database, for example to allow a MUC component to grant
administrative access to an admin on a corresponding user virtual host.

## Configuration

The following example will make all role assignments for local and remote JIDs
from domain.example effective on groups.domain.example:

```
VirtualHost "domain.example"

Component "groups.domain.example" "muc"
    authorization = "delegate"
    authz_delegate_to = "domain.example"
```
