• '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.

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 -
