History: TikiFestParis2024

What

This is an opportunity, usually, to drink adult beverages, get some laptops out and code wildly in group sessions and/or discuss about wiki technology and culture, etc. depending the mood and context. It is a great opportunity for Tiki users and Tiki power users to meet some of the developers and learn more stuff.

XMPP

Context:

• The XMPP stack in Tiki (and WikiSuite) has not evolved nicely (to be polite) in the last few years. One challenge is described here: https://github.com/conversejs/converse.js/issues/1685
• Documention: XMPP
• Emmanuel brought it back to a working state: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/4365
• John is an XMPP expert, and we deeply appreciate his help
• Marc will show John what we have working, so we can determine next steps:
• We have a mod_auth_tikitoken.lua inspired by
  • https://modules.prosody.im/mod_auth_token
  • https://modules.prosody.im/mod_auth_oauth_external
  • https://github.com/igniterealtime/openfire-tikitoken-plugin
• We have a running prototype (ask Marc for password)
  • Prosody is running on lab28.evoludata.com
    • To make things simple, Josaphat created the custom module in /usr/lib/prosody/modules along with other built-in modules instead of creating a custom module path. The filename is mod_auth_tikitoken.lua
  • Tiki master with Converse.js: https://master.lab15.evoludata.com/login
    • ConverseJS authentication method is set to Openfire TikiToken (This will be renamed later)
