<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
||||
<p>&xep0045; includes a protocol for inviting a contact to a chatroom. That protocol results in the sending of an invitation from the chatroom to the contact (a "mediated invitation"), not from the inviting user to the contact (a "direct invitation"). Because use of &xep0016; may result in blocking of XML stanzas from entities that are not in the contact's roster, mediated invitations may never be delivered to the contact. Therefore, this specification defines an XMPP extension that enables a user to directly send an invitation to a contact, thus routing around the blocking of mediated invitations. While the main use case for this protocol is multi-user chat, nothing in the protocol prevents it from being used to invite contacts to other types of services, such as &xep0060; services or future collaboration services.</p>
|
||||
<p>Although authentication is required in order to access an XMPP network, in some situations it is desirable to require authorization in order to access certain entities on the network. For example, authorization may be required in order to join a &xep0045; room or to subscribe to a &xep0060; node. This document defines a general method for obtaining, sharing, and using authorization tokens over XMPP.</p>

<section1 topic='Obtaining an Invitation' anchor='obtain'>
|
||||
<p>In order to obtain an invitation that can be directly sent to a contact, a user requests an invitation token from the relevant service. For example, let us imagine that the user <crone1@shakespeare.lit> wishes to invite the contact <hecate@shakespeare.lit> to the chatroom <darkcave@macbeth.shakespeare.lit>. The user would send the following request to the room &NSNOTE;.</p>
|
||||
<section1 topic='Obtaining an Authorization Token' anchor='obtain'>
|
||||
<p>In order to obtain an authorization token that can be sent to a consumer, a user requests an authorization token from the relevant service. For example, let us imagine that the user <crone1@shakespeare.lit> wishes to invite the consumer <hecate@shakespeare.lit> to the chatroom <darkcave@macbeth.shakespeare.lit>. Assuming that the user has already determined that the chatroom supports authorization tokens, the user would send the following request to the room &NSNOTE;.</p>

||||

|

<p>If the room supports the direct invitation protocol and the user is allowed to invite contacts to the room, the room returns an invitation token to the user.</p>

<p>If the room supports authorization tokens and the user is allowed to invite contacts to the room, the room returns an authorization token to the user.</p>

<ul>

<li>The 'for' attribute defines the JabberID of the invitee. Inclusion of this attribute is REQUIRED.</li>

<li>The 'jid' attribute defines the JabberID of the service to which the invitee is being invited. Inclusion of this attribute is REQUIRED.</li>
|

<li>The XML character data of the <invitation/> element is the invitation token itself. The token MAY be generated according to any method deemed appropriate by the service implementation. It is RECOMMENED that the token be the hexadecimal representation of a Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (see &nistfips198a;) generated using the SHA256 hashing algorithm (see &nistfips180-2;), as described elsewhere in this document.</li>
|

<li>The OPTIONAL 'expires' attribute defines a date and time when the token expires. If included, it MUST be a DateTime as specified in &xep0082;.</li>

<li>The REQUIRED 'consumer' attribute defines the URI of the entity to be authorized (e.g., an XMPP URI, mailto URI, or HTTP URL).</li>
|
||||
<li>The REQUIRED 'service' attribute defines the JabberID of the service for which the consumer is being authorized.</li>
|

<li>The OPTIONAL 'node' attribute defines a publish-subscribe node at the service; if the 'node' attribute is included, the authorization MUST be accepted only for interactions with that particular node.</li>

<p>The contact then MUST then determine the identity of the service (via &xep0030;) so that it can determine how to use the invitation.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this example, the service is a multi-user chat service. Therefore if the contact wishes to join the designated chatroom, it will include the invitation in its join request.</p>

<p>If the consumer wishes to use the token, it MUST first determine the identity of the service (via &xep0030;) so that it can decide how to proceed.</p>
|

<p>Note: If the service supports this protocol, it MUST return a service discovery feature of "urn:xmpp:tmp:auth-token" in response to each disco#info request (see the <link url='#support'>Determining Support</link> section of this document).</p>
|

<section2 topic='Multi-User Chat' anchor='use-muc'>

<p>In this example, the service is a multi-user chat service. If authorization is required in order to join a particular room but the joining entity does not include an authorization token in its join request, the service MUST return an error as follows.</p>

<p>If the token is acceptable, the service will then allow the consumer to enter the room.</p>
|

<p>Note: Although <cite>XEP-0045</cite> includes a protocol for inviting a contact to a chatroom, that protocol results in the sending of an invitation from the chatroom to the contact (a "mediated invitation"), not from the inviting user to the contact (a "direct invitation"). Because use of &xep0016; may result in blocking of XML stanzas from entities that are not in the contact's roster, mediated invitations may never be delivered to the contact. Use of authorization tokens as described herein enables a user to directly send an invitation to a contact, thus routing around the blocking of mediated invitations.</p>
