I want to use [Prosody](https://prosody.im/) as my xmpp-server in conjunction with Discourse. Users should be able to login to Prosody with their Discourse login within their desired xmpp-client, which will primarily be [Conversations](https://conversations.im/). For web-based clients like Converse.js or Candychat i could implement the [discourse SSO feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-as-a-sso-provider/32974). But for non-web apps, like Conversations or Gajim, are their any other solutions out there, especially when Discourse and Prosody runnning on the same server?
The only solution i found so far, is to write a [Prosody authentication module](https://modules.prosody.im/type_auth.html) in Lua that simulates a browser request, which was suggested here: [quote=“DeanMarkTaylor, post:9, topic:40584”]
You could always simply mimic the requests that a browser would make.

Is there something similar in Lua out there which i could use to start with or other approaches to solve this request?

How did this work out?
