Fixes#5833
The emailconfig code was attempting to pull incorrect config file names. This corrects that, while also marking a difference between a config file variable that's a filepath versus a str containing HTML.
The `expire_access_token` didn't do what it sounded like it should do. What it
actually did was make Synapse enforce the 'time' caveat on macaroons used as
access tokens, but since our access token macaroons never contained such a
caveat, it was always a no-op.
(The code to add 'time' caveats was removed back in v0.18.5, in #1656)
* Opentracing survival guide
* Update decorator names in doc
* Doc cleanup
These are all alterations as a result of comments in #5703, it
includes mostly typos and clarifications. The most interesting
changes are:
- Split developer and user docs into two sections
- Add a high level description of OpenTracing
* newsfile
* Move contributer specific info to docstring.
* Sample config.
* Trailing whitespace.
* Update 5703.misc
* Apply suggestions from code review
Mostly just rewording parts of the docs for clarity.

Clean up config settings and dead code.
This is mostly about cleaning up the config format, to bring it into line with our conventions. In particular:
* There should be a blank line after `## Section ##' headings
* There should be a blank line between each config setting
* There should be a `#`-only line between a comment and the setting it describes
* We don't really do the `# #` style commenting-out of whole sections if we can help it
* rename `tracer_enabled` to `enabled`
While we're here, do more config parsing upfront, which makes it easier to use
later on.
Also removes redundant code from LogContextScopeManager.
Also changes the changelog fragment to a `feature` - it's exciting!
* Configure and initialise tracer
Includes config options for the tracer and sets up JaegerClient.
* Scope manager using LogContexts
We piggy-back our tracer scopes by using log context.
The current log context gives us the current scope. If new scope is
created we create a stack of scopes in the context.
* jaeger is a dependency now
* Carrier inject and extraction for Twisted Headers
* Trace federation requests on the way in and out.
The span is created in _started_processing and closed in
_finished_processing because we need a meaningful log context.
* Create logcontext for new scope.
Instead of having a stack of scopes in a logcontext we create a new
context for a new scope if the current logcontext already has a scope.
* Remove scope from logcontext if logcontext is top level
* Disable tracer if not configured
* typo

This has never been documented, and I'm not sure it's ever been used outside
sytest.
It's quite a lot of poorly-maintained code, so I'd like to get rid of it.
For now I haven't removed the database table; I suggest we leave that for a
future clearout.
- Put the default window_size back to 1000ms (broken by #5181)
- Make the `rc_federation` config actually do something
- fix an off-by-one error in the 'concurrent' limit
- Avoid creating an unused `_PerHostRatelimiter` object for every single
incoming request
The runtime errors that dealt with local email password resets talked about config options that users may not even have in their config file yet (if upgrading). Instead, the cryptic errors are now replaced with hopefully much more helpful ones.
* group the arguments together into a group
* add new names "--generate-missing-config" and "--config-directory" for
existing cmdline options "--generate-keys" and "--keys-dir", which better
reflect their purposes.
Adds new config option `cleanup_extremities_with_dummy_events` which
periodically sends dummy events to rooms with more than 10 extremities.
THIS IS REALLY EXPERIMENTAL.
Moves the warning about password resets being disabled to the point where a user actually tries to reset their password. Is this an appropriate place for it to happen?
Also removed the disabling of msisdn password resets when you don't have an email config, as that just doesn't make sense.
Also change the error a user receives upon disabled passwords to specify that only email-based password reset is disabled.
It's not really a problem to trust notary responses signed by the old key so
long as we are also doing TLS validation.
This commit adds a check to the config parsing code at startup to check that
we do not have the insecure matrix.org key without tls validation, and refuses
to start without it.
This allows us to remove the rather alarming-looking warning which happens at
runtime.
Sends password reset emails from the homeserver instead of proxying to the identity server. This is now the default behaviour for security reasons. If you wish to continue proxying password reset requests to the identity server you must now enable the email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets option.
This PR is a culmination of 3 smaller PRs which have each been separately reviewed:
* #5308
* #5345
* #5368
There are a few changes going on here:
* We make checking the signature on a key server response optional: if no
verify_keys are specified, we trust to TLS to validate the connection.
* We change the default config so that it does not require responses to be
signed by the old key.
* We replace the old 'perspectives' config with 'trusted_key_servers', which
is also formatted slightly differently.
* We emit a warning to the logs every time we trust a key server response
signed by the old key.
When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
Replaces DEFAULT_ROOM_VERSION constant with a method that first checks the config, then returns a hardcoded value if the option is not present.
That hardcoded value is now located in the server.py config file.
This commit adds two config options:
* `restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users`
Requires auth to fetch the public rooms directory through the CS API and disables fetching it through the federation API.
* `require_auth_for_profile_requests`
When set to `true`, requires that requests to `/profile` over the CS API are authenticated, and only returns the user's profile if the requester shares a room with the profile's owner, as per MSC1301.
MSC1301 also specifies a behaviour for federation (only returning the profile if the server asking for it shares a room with the profile's owner), but that's currently really non-trivial to do in a not too expensive way. Next step is writing down a MSC that allows a HS to specify which user sent the profile query. In this implementation, Synapse won't send a profile query over federation if it doesn't believe it already shares a room with the profile's owner, though.
Groups have been intentionally omitted from this commit.
Rather than using a Mock for the homeserver config, use a genuine
HomeServerConfig object. This makes for a more realistic test, and means that
we don't have to keep remembering to add things to the mock config every time
we add a new config setting.
Make it so that most options in the config are optional, and commented out in
the generated config.
The reasons this is a good thing are as follows:
* If we decide that we should change the default for an option, we can do so,
and only those admins that have deliberately chosen to override that option
will be stuck on the old setting.
* It moves us towards a point where we can get rid of the super-surprising
feature of synapse where the default settings for the config come from the
generated yaml.
* It makes setting up a test config for unit testing an order of magnitude
easier (see forthcoming PR).
* It makes the generated config more consistent, and hopefully easier for users
to understand.
* Rate-limiting for registration
* Add unit test for registration rate limiting
* Add config parameters for rate limiting on auth endpoints
* Doc
* Fix doc of rate limiting function

* Incorporate review
* Fix config parsing
* Fix linting errors
* Set default config for auth rate limiting
* Fix tests
* Add changelog
* Advance reactor instead of mocked clock

* Rename _register_with_store into register_with_store
* Make CI happy

* Update sample config
* Fix ratelimiting test for py2
* Add non-guest test
The general idea here is that config examples should just have a hash and no
extraneous whitespace, both to make it easier for people who don't understand
yaml, and to make the examples stand out from the comments.
* Better logging for errors on startup
* Fix "TypeError: '>' not supported" when starting without an existing
certificate
* Fix a bug where an existing certificate would be reprovisoned every day
Rearrange the comments to try to clarify them, and expand on what some of it
means.
Use a sensible default 'bind_addresses' setting.
For the insecure port, only bind to localhost, and enable x_forwarded, since
apparently it's for use behind a load-balancer.
* Handle listening for ACME requests on IPv6 addresses
the weird url-but-not-actually-a-url-string doesn't handle IPv6 addresses
without extra quoting. Building a string which you are about to parse again
seems like a weird choice. Let's just use listenTCP, which is consistent with
what we do elsewhere.
* Clean up the default ACME config
make it look a bit more consistent with everything else, and tweak the defaults
to listen on port 80.
* newsfile
If you use double-quotes here, you have to escape your backslashes. It's much
easier with single-quotes.
(Note that the existing double-backslashes are already interpreted by python's
""" parsing.)
This is leading to problems with people upgrading to clients that
support MSC1730 because people have this misconfigured, so try
to make the docs completely unambiguous.
This allows the OpenID userinfo endpoint to be active even if the
federation resource is not active. The OpenID userinfo endpoint
is called by integration managers to verify user actions using the
client API OpenID access token. Without this verification, the
integration manager cannot know that the access token is valid.
The OpenID userinfo endpoint will be loaded in the case that either
"federation" or "openid" resource is defined. The new "openid"
resource is defaulted to active in default configuration.

This implements both a SAML2 metadata endpoint (at
`/_matrix/saml2/metadata.xml`), and a SAML2 response receiver (at
`/_matrix/saml2/authn_response`). If the SAML2 response matches what's been
configured, we complete the SSO login flow by redirecting to the client url
(aka `RelayState` in SAML2 jargon) with a login token.
What we don't yet have is anything to build a SAML2 request and redirect the
user to the identity provider. That is left as an exercise for the reader.
* Rip out half-implemented m.login.saml2 support
This was implemented in an odd way that left most of the work to the client, in
a way that I really didn't understand. It's going to be a pain to maintain, so
let's start by ripping it out.
* drop undocumented dependency on dateutil
It turns out we were relying on dateutil being pulled in transitively by
pysaml2. There's no need for that bloat.
Broadly three things here:
* disable W504 which seems a bit whacko
* remove a bunch of `as e` expressions from exception handlers that don't use
them
* use `r""` for strings which include backslashes
Also, we don't use pep8 any more, so we can get rid of the duplicate config
there.
move the example email templates into the synapse package so that they can be
used as package data, which should mean that all of the packaging mechanisms
(pip, docker, debian, arch, etc) should now come with the example templates.
In order to grandfather in people who relied on the templates being in the old
place, check for that situation and fall back to using the defaults if the
templates directory does not exist.
This default config is parsed and used a base before the actual
config is overlaid, so with these values not commented out, the
code to detect when no turn params were set and refuse to generate
credentials was never firing because the dummy default was always set.
We need to do a bit more validation when we get a server name, but don't want
to be re-doing it all over the shop, so factor out a separate
parse_and_validate_server_name, and do the extra validation.
Also, use it to verify the server name in the config file.

Server Notices use a special room which the user can't dismiss. They are
created on demand when some other bit of the code calls send_notice.
(This doesn't actually do much yet becuse we don't call send_notice anywhere)
Nothing written into it is encoded, so it makes little sense, but it
does break in python3 the way it was before.
The variable names were adjusted to be less misleading.

Initial commit; this doesn't work yet - the LIKE filtering seems too aggressive.
It also needs _do_initial_spam to be aware of prepopulating the whole user_directory_search table with all users...
...and it needs a handle_user_signup() or something to be added so that new signups get incrementally added to the table too.
Committing it here as a WIP
The redact_content option never worked because it read the wrong config
section. The PR introducing it
(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/2301) had feedback suggesting the
name be changed to not re-use the term 'redact' but this wasn't
incorporated.
This reanmes the option to give it a less confusing name, and also
means that people who've set the redact_content option won't suddenly
see a behaviour change when upgrading synapse, but instead can set
include_content if they want to.
This PR also updates the wording of the config comment to clarify
that this has no effect on event_id_only push.
Includes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/2422
`os.path.exists` doesn't allow us to distinguish between permissions errors and
the path actually not existing, which repeatedly confuses people. It also means
that we try to overwrite existing key files, which is super-confusing. (cf
issues #2455, #2379). Use os.stat instead.
Also, don't recomemnd the the use of --generate-config, which screws everything
up if you're using debian (cf #2455).
Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get and sync
operations. The default value is -1, means no upper limit.
For example, using `filter_timeline_limit: 5000`:
POST /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 1000000000000000000
}
}
}
GET /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter/filter:id
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 5000
}
}
}
The server cuts down the room.timeline.limit.
The URLs used for notification emails were hardcoded to use either matrix.to

The debug 'full_twisted_stacktraces' flag caused synapse to rewrite
twisted deferreds to always fire the callback on the next reactor tick.
This was to force the deferred to always store the stacktraces on
exceptions, and thus be more likely to have a full stacktrace when it
reaches the final error handlers and gets printed to the logs.
Dynamically rewriting things is generally bad, and in particular this
change violates assumptions of various bits of Twisted. This wouldn't
necessarily be so bad, but it turns out this option has been turned on
on some production servers.
Turning the option can cause e.g. #1778.
For now, lets just entirely nuke this option.
The 'time' caveat on the access tokens was something of a lie, since we weren't
enforcing it; more pertinently its presence stops us ever adding useful time
caveats.
Let's move in the right direction by not lying in our caveats.
This adds a flag loaded from the registration file of an AS that will determine whether or not its users are rate limited (by ratelimit in _base.py). Needed for IRC bridge reasons - see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/240.
Allows delegating the password auth to an external module. This also
moves the LDAP auth to using this system, allowing it to be removed from
the synapse tree entirely in the future.
If 'url' is not specified, they will not be pushed for events or queries. This
is useful for bots who simply wish to reserve large chunks of user/alias
namespace, and don't care about being pushed for events.
Use the pure-python ldap3 library, which eliminates the need for a
system dependency.
Offer both a `search` and `simple_bind` mode, for more sophisticated
ldap scenarios.
- `search` tries to find a matching DN within the `user_base` while
employing the `user_filter`, then tries the bind when a single
matching DN was found.
- `simple_bind` tries the bind against a specific DN by combining the
localpart and `user_base`
Offer support for STARTTLS on a plain connection.
The configuration was changed to reflect these new possibilities.

Adds a method called ``load_config`` that just loads the

The main synapse.app.homeserver will continue to use
``load_or_generate_config`` to retain backwards compat.
However new worker processes can use ``load_config`` to

As the new ``load_config`` method is expected to be used by new
configs it removes support for the legacy commandline overrides
that ``load_or_generate_config`` supports
Always set the config key with an empty list, even if a list isn't specified.
This means that the codepaths are the same for both the empty list and
for a missing key. Since the behaviour is the same for both cases this
makes the code somewhat easier to reason about.
Add url_preview_ip_range_blacklist to let admins specify internal IP ranges that must not be spidered.
Add url_preview_url_blacklist to let admins specify URL patterns that must not be spidered.
Implement a custom SpiderEndpoint and associated support classes to implement url_preview_ip_range_blacklist

Currently, when a 3pid invite request is sent to an identity server, it
includes a provisioned guest access token. This allows the link in the,
say, invite email to include the guest access token ensuring that the
same account is used each time the link is clicked.
This flow has a number of flaws, including when using different servers
or servers that have guest access disabled.
For now, we keep this implementation but hide it behind a config option
until a better flow is implemented.
Unfortunately, there are people that are running synapse without a
`macaroon_sercret_key` set. Mandating they set one is a good solution,
except that breaking auto upgrades is annoying.
Currently we store all access tokens in the DB, and fall back to that
check if we can't validate the macaroon, so our fallback works here, but
for guests, their macaroons don't get persisted, so we don't get to
find them in the database. Each restart, we generate a new ephemeral
key, so guests lose access after each server restart.
I tried to fix up the config stuff to be less insane, but gave up, so
instead I bolt on yet another piece of custom one-off insanity.
Also, add some basic tests for config generation and loading.
This follows the same flows-based flow as regular registration, but as
the only implemented flow has no requirements, it auto-succeeds. In the
future, other flows (e.g. captcha) may be required, so clients should
treat this like the regular registration flow choices.

This requires that HS owners either opt in or out of stats reporting.
When --generate-config is passed, --report-stats must be specified
If an already-generated config is used, and doesn't have the
report_stats key, it is requested to be set.
This just replaces random bytes with macaroons. The macaroons are not
inspected by the client or server.
In particular, they claim to have an expiry time, but nothing verifies
that they have not expired.
Follow-up commits will actually enforce the expiration, and allow for
token refresh.
