mod_auth_cyrus: Add empty 'profile' table to SASL handler objects
This is for compatibility with Prosody's built-in util.sasl objects.
A SASL profile table usually includes methods supported by the backend, which
can be used by SASL mechanism handlers to perform operations (such as testing
the password). It also optionally contains a 'cb' field with channel binding
method handlers.
The Cyrus backend doesn't support channel binding, and doesn't have the same
concept of auth backend methods (it handles all that internally, and Prosody
has no insight or control over it).
Thus, we create an empty profile which informs Prosody that the SASL handler
does not support any of the auth or channel binding methods. Some features
will not work, but they didn't work anyway. This just makes it explicit.
This fixes a traceback in mod_sasl2_fast, which expected SASL handlers to
always contain a 'profile' field.

--- labels: - 'Stage-Alpha' summary: Backported mod_server_contact_info for Prosody 0.12 ... ## Overview In February 2024 we improved the internal API to allow multiple modules to publish information about the server, this includes mod_pubsub_serverinfo. Although Prosody 0.12 comes with its own mod_server_contact_info, this version uses the new API so that 0.12 users can hopefully use mod_pubsub_serverinfo and other modules which use the new API. To use it, you must ensure that your Prosody 0.12 deployment is loading *both* mod_server_contact_info **and** mod_server_info community modules. Configuration of contact addresses is the same, whatever version of the module you use. See the official documentation on [Prosody's mod_server_contact_info](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_server_contact_info) page. ## Compatibility This module should be compatible with Prosody 0.12, and will fail to load in later versions (which already provide the same functionality without community modules).
