## Shell usage

You can use this module via the Prosody shell. For example, to list a user's

clients:

```shell

prosodyctl shell user clients user@example.com

```

### Protocol

#### Listing clients

To list clients that have access to the user's account, send the following

stanza:

```xml

<iq id="p" type="get">

  <list xmlns="xmpp:prosody.im/protocol/manage-clients"/>

</iq>

```

The server will respond with a list of clients:

```xml

<iq id="p" to="mattj-gajim@auth2.superxmpp.com/gajim.UYJKBHKT" type="result" xmlns="jabber:client">

  <clients xmlns="xmpp:prosody.im/protocol/manage-clients">

    <client connected="true" id="client/zeiP41HLglIu" type="session">

      <first-seen>2023-04-06T14:26:08Z</first-seen>

      <last-seen>2023-04-06T14:37:25Z</last-seen>

      <auth>

        <password/>

      </auth>

      <user-agent>

        <software>Gajim</software>

        <uri>https://gajim.org/</uri>

        <device>Juliet's laptop</device>

      </user-agent>

    </client>

    <client connected="false" id="grant/HjEEr45_LQr" type="access">

      <first-seen>2023-03-27T15:16:09Z</first-seen>

      <last-seen>2023-03-27T15:37:24Z</last-seen>

      <user-agent>

        <software>REST client</software>

      </user-agent>

    </client>

  </clients>

</iq>

```

On the `<client/>` tag most things are self-explanatory. The following attributes

are defined:

- 'connected': a boolean that reflects whether this client has an active session

on the server (i.e. this includes connected and "hibernating" sessions).

- 'id': an opaque reference for the client, which can be used to revoke access.

- 'type': either `"session"` if this client is known to have an active or inactive

  client session on the server, or "access" if no session has been established (e.g.

  it may have been granted access to the account, but only used non-XMPP APIs or

  never logged in).

The `<first-seen/>` and `<last-seen/>` elements contain timestamps that reflect

when a client was first granted access to the user's account, and when it most

recently used that access. For active sessions, it may reflect the current

time or the time of the last login.

The `<user-agent/>` element contains information about the client software. It

may contain any of three optional child elements, each containing text content:

- `<software/>` - the name of the software

- `<uri/>` - a URI/URL for the client, such as a homepage

- `<device/>` - a human-readable identifier/name for the device where the client

  runs

The `<auth/>` element lists the known authentication methods that the client

has used to gain access to the account. The following elements are defined:

- `<password/>` - the client has presented a valid password

- `<grant/>` - the client has a valid authorization grant (e.g. via OAuth)

- `<fast/>` - the client has active FAST tokens

#### Revoking access

To revoke a client's access, send a `<revoke/>` element with an 'id' attribute

containing one of the client ids fetched from the list:

```xml

<iq id="p" type="set">

  <revoke xmlns="xmpp:prosody.im/protocol/manage-clients" id="grant/HjEEr45_LQr" />

</iq>

```

The server will respond with an empty result if the revocation succeeds:

```xml

<iq id="p" type="result" />

```

If the client has previously authenticated with a password, there is no way to

revoke access except by changing the user's password. If you request

revocation of such a client, the server will respond with a 'service-unavailable'

error, with the 'password-reset-required' application error:

```xml

<iq id="p" type="error">

  <error type="cancel">

    <service-unavailable xmlns="xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'">

    <password-reset-required xmlns="xmpp:prosody.im/protocol/manage-clients"/>

  </error>

</iq>

```
