The previous fix for the ongoing event fetches counter
(8eec25a1d9) was both insufficient and
incorrect.
When the database is unreachable, `_do_fetch` never gets run and so
`_event_fetch_ongoing` is never decremented.
The previous fix also moved the `_event_fetch_ongoing` decrement outside
of the `_event_fetch_lock` which allowed race conditions to corrupt the
counter.

Instead of only known relation types. This also reworks the background
update for thread relations to crawl events and search for any relation
type, not just threaded relations.
If `room_list_publication_rules` was configured with a rule with a
non-wildcard alias and a room was created with an alias then an
internal server error would have been thrown.
This fixes the error and properly applies the publication rules
during room creation.
Fixes a bug introduced in #11129: objects signed by the local server, but with
keys other than the current one, could not be successfully verified.
We need to check the key id in the signature, and track down the right key.

Adds validation to the Client-Server API to ensure that
the potential thread head does not relate to another event
already. This results in not allowing a thread to "fork" into
other threads.
If the target event is unknown for some reason (maybe it isn't
visible to your homeserver), but is the target of other events
it is assumed that the thread can be created from it. Otherwise,
it is rejected as an unknown event.

`synapse.config.__main__` has the possibility to read a config item. This can be used to conveniently also validate the config is valid before trying to start Synapse.
The "read" command broke in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10916 as it now requires passing in "server.server_name" for example.
Also made the read command optional so one can just call this with just the confirm file reference and get a "Config parses OK" if things are ok.

* We only need to fetch users in private rooms
* Filter out `user_id` at the top
* Discard excluded users in the top loop
We weren't doing this in the "First, if they're our user" branch so this
is a bugfix.
* The caller must check that `user_id` is included
This is in the docstring. There are two call sites:
- one in `_handle_room_publicity_change`, which explicitly checks before calling;
- and another in `_handle_room_membership_event`, which returns early if
the user is excluded.
So this change is safe.
* Test joining a private room with an excluded user
* Tweak an existing test
* Changelog
* test docstring
* lint
This fixes a bug where we would accept an event whose `auth_events` include
rejected events, if the rejected event was shadowed by another `auth_event`
with same `(type, state_key)`.
The approach is to pass a list of auth events into
`check_auth_rules_for_event` instead of a dict, which of course means updating
the call sites.
This is an extension of #10956.
Found while working on the Gitter backfill script and noticed
it only happened after we sent 7 batches, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/merge_requests/2229#note_665906390
When there are more than 5 backward extremities for a given depth,
backfill will throw an error because we sliced the extremity list
to 5 but then try to iterate over the full list. This causes
us to look for state that we never fetched and we get a `KeyError`.
Before when calling `/messages` when there are more than 5 backward extremities:
```

The following scenarios would halt the user directory updater:
- user joins room
- user leaves room
- user present in room which switches from private to public, or vice versa.
for two classes of users:
- appservice senders
- users missing from the user table.
If this happened, the user directory would be stuck, unable to make forward progress.
Exclude both cases from the user directory, so that we ignore them.

This reverts #11019 and structures the code a bit more like it was before #10985.
The global cache state must be reset before running the tests since other test
cases might have configured caching (and thus touched the global state).
Make `get_last_client_by_ip` return the same dictionary structure
regardless of whether the data has been persisted to the database.
This change will allow slightly cleaner type hints to be applied later
on.
This splits apart `handle_new_user` into a function which adds an entry to the `user_directory` and a function which updates the room sharing tables. I plan to continue doing more of this kind of refactoring to clarify the implementation.
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
Fix a long-standing bug where a batch of user directory changes would be
silently dropped if the server left a room early in the batch.

There are two steps to rebuilding the user directory:
1. a scan over rooms, followed by
2. a scan over local users.
The former reads avatars and display names from the `room_memberships`
table and therefore contains potentially private avatars and
display names. The latter reads from the the `profiles` table which only
contains public data; moreover it will overwrite any private profiles
that the rooms scan may have written to the user directory. This means
that the rebuild could leak private user while the rebuild was in
progress, only to later cover up the leaks once the rebuild had completed.
This change skips over local users when writing user_directory rows
when scanning rooms. Doing so means that it'll take longer for a rebuild
to make local users searchable, which is unfortunate. I think a future
PR can improve this by swapping the order of the two steps above. (And
indeed there's more to do here, e.g. copying from `profiles` without
going via Python.)
Small tidy-ups while I'm here:
* Remove duplicated code from test_initial. This was meant to be pulled into `purge_and_rebuild_user_dir`.
* Move `is_public` before updating sharing tables. No functional change; it's still before the first read of `is_public`.
* Don't bother creating a set from dict keys. Slightly nicer and makes the code simpler.

* Introduce `should_include_local_users_in_dir`
We exclude three kinds of local users from the user_directory tables. At
present we don't consistently exclude all three in the same places. This
commit introduces a new function to gather those exclusion conditions
together. Because we have to handle local and remote users in different
ways, I've made that function only consider the case of remote users.
It's the caller's responsibility to make the local versus remote
distinction clear and correct.
A test fixup is required. The test now hits a path which makes db
queries against the users table. The expected rows were missing, because
we were using a dummy user that hadn't actually been registered.
We also add new test cases to covert the exclusion logic.
----
By my reading this makes these changes:
* When an app service user registers or changes their profile, they will
_not_ be added to the user directory. (Previously only support and
deactivated users were excluded). This is consistent with the logic that
rebuilds the user directory. See also [the discussion
here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10914#discussion_r716859548).
* When rebuilding the directory, exclude support and disabled users from
room sharing tables. Previously only appservice users were excluded.
* Exclude all three categories of local users when rebuilding the
directory. Previously `_populate_user_directory_process_users` didn't do
any exclusion.

This fixes a "Event not signed by authorising server" error when

Broadly, the existing `event_auth.check` function has two parts:
* a validation section: checks that the event isn't too big, that it has the rught signatures, etc.
This bit is independent of the rest of the state in the room, and so need only be done once
for each event.
* an auth section: ensures that the event is allowed, given the rest of the state in the room.
This gets done multiple times, against various sets of room state, because it forms part of
the state res algorithm.
Currently, this is implemented with `do_sig_check` and `do_size_check` parameters, but I think
that makes everything hard to follow. Instead, we split the function in two and call each part
separately where it is needed.
* Inline `_check_event_auth` for outliers
When we are persisting an outlier, most of `_check_event_auth` is redundant:
* `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` does nothing, because the
`input_auth_events` are (now) exactly the event's auth_events,
which means that `missing_auth` is empty.
* we don't care about soft-fail, kicking guest users or `send_on_behalf_of`
for outliers
... so the only thing that matters is the auth itself, so let's just do that.
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`: de-async `prep`
`prep` no longer calls any `async` methods, so let's make it synchronous.
* Simplify `_check_event_auth`
We no longer need to support outliers here, which makes things rather simpler.
* changelog
* lint
This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
* Factor more stuff out of `_get_events_and_persist`
It turns out that the event-sorting algorithm in `_get_events_and_persist` is
also useful in other circumstances. Here we move the current
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`,
and then factor the sorting part out to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove redundant `outlier` assignment
`get_event_auth` returns events with the outlier flag already set, so this is
redundant (though we need to update a test where `get_event_auth` is mocked).
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: move existing-event tests earlier
Move a couple of tests outside the loop. This is a bit inefficient for now, but
a future commit will make it better. It should be functionally identical.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`
We can use the same codepath for persisting the events fetched as part of an
auth chain as for those fetched individually by `_get_events_and_persist` for
building the state at a backwards extremity.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use a dict for efficiency
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` sorts the events itself, so we no longer
need to care about maintaining the ordering from `get_event_auth` (and no
longer need to sort by depth in `get_event_auth`).
That means that we can use a map, making it easier to filter out events we
already have, etc.
* changelog
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`: improve docstring
If the MAU count had been reached, Synapse incorrectly blocked appservice users even though they've been explicitly configured not to be tracked (the default). This was due to bypassing the relevant if as it was chained behind another earlier hit if as an elif.

* Improved titles (fall back to the author name if there's not title) and include the site name.
* Handle photo/video payloads.
* Include the original URL in the Open Graph response.
* Fix the expiration time (by properly converting from seconds to milliseconds).
The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).
This also makes more minor refactorings:
* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed
previews.
* Fixes tests to preview an oEmbed image.
* add tests for checking if room search works with non-ascii char
* change encoding on parse_string to UTF-8
* lints
* properly encode search term
* lints
* add changelog file
* update changelog number
* set changelog entry filetype to .bugfix
* Revert "set changelog entry filetype to .bugfix"
This reverts commit be8e5a314251438ec4ec7dbc59ba32162c93e550.
* update changelog message and file type
* change parse_string default encoding back to ascii and update room search admin api calll to parse string

It's a simplification, but one that'll help make the user directory logic easier
to follow with the other changes upcoming. It's not strictly required for those
changes, but this will help simplify the resulting logic that listens for
`m.room.member` events and generally make the logic easier to follow.
This means the config option `search_all_users` ends up controlling the
search query only, and not the data we store. The cost of doing so is an
extra row in the `user_directory` and `user_directory_search` tables for
each local user which
- belongs to no public rooms
- belongs to no private rooms of size ≥ 2
I think the cost of this will be marginal (since they'll already have entries
in `users` and `profiles` anyway).
As a small upside, a homeserver whose directory was built with this
change can toggle `search_all_users` without having to rebuild their
directory.

This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).
This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
Synapse 1.42.0rc2 (2021-09-06)
==============================
This version of Synapse removes deprecated room-management admin APIs, removes out-of-date
email pushers, and improves error handling for fallback templates for user-interactive
authentication. For more information on these points, server administrators are
encouraged to read [the upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1420).
Features
--------
- Support room version 9 from [MSC3375](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375). ([\#10747](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10747))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Print a warning when using one of the deprecated `template_dir` settings. ([\#10768](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10768))
This updates the ordering of the returned events from the spaces
summary API to that defined in MSC2946 (which updates MSC1772).
Previously a step was skipped causing ordering to be inconsistent with
clients.
Judging by the template, this was intended ages ago, but we never
actually passed an avatar URL to the template. So let's provide one.
Closes#1546.

Turns out that the functionality added in #10546 to skip TLS was incompatible
with older Twisted versions, so we need to be a bit more inventive.
Also, add a test to (hopefully) not break this in future. Sadly, testing TLS is
really hard.
When a user deletes an email from their account it will
now also remove all pushers for that email and that user
(even if these pushers were created by a different client)
* Validate device_keys for C-S /keys/query requests
Closes#10354
A small, not particularly critical fix. I'm interested in seeing if we
can find a more systematic approach though. #8445 is the place for any discussion.
Here we split on_receive_pdu into two functions (on_receive_pdu and process_pulled_event), rather than having both cases in the same method. There's a tiny bit of overlap, but not that much.
As opposed to only allowing the summary of spaces which the user is
already in or has world-readable visibility.
This makes the logic consistent with whether a space/room is returned
as part of a space and whether a space summary can start at a space.
If a room which the requesting user was invited to was queried over
federation it will now properly appear in the spaces summary (instead
of being stripped out by the requesting server).
* drop old-room hack
pretty sure we don't need this any more.
* Remove incorrect comment about modifying `context`
It doesn't look like the supplied context is ever modified.
* Stop `_auth_and_persist_event` modifying its parameters
This is only called in three places. Two of them don't pass `auth_events`, and
the third doesn't use the dict after passing it in, so this should be non-functional.
* Stop `_check_event_auth` modifying its parameters
`_check_event_auth` is only called in three places. `on_send_membership_event`
doesn't pass an `auth_events`, and `prep` and `_auth_and_persist_event` do not
use the map after passing it in.
* Stop `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` modifying its parameters
Return the updated auth event dict, rather than modifying the parameter.
This is only called from `_check_event_auth`.
* Improve documentation on `_auth_and_persist_event`
Rename `auth_events` parameter to better reflect what it contains.
* Improve documentation on `_NewEventInfo`
* Improve documentation on `_check_event_auth`
rename `auth_events` parameter to better describe what it contains
* changelog
If there are no services providing a protocol, omit it completely
instead of returning an empty dictionary.
This fixes a long-standing spec compliance bug.
Synapse 1.40.0rc2 (2021-08-04)

Reproducible on a federated homeserver when there is a membership auth event as a floating outlier. Then when we try to backfill one of that persons messages, it has missing membership auth to fetch which caused us to mistakenly replace the `context` for the message with that of the floating membership `outlier` event. Since `outliers` have no `state` or `state_group`, the error bubbles up when we continue down the persisting route: `sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: event_to_state_groups.state_group`
Call stack:
```
backfill

_check_event_auth
_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth
```

--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.38 which caused an exception at startup when SAML authentication was enabled. ([\#10477](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10477))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would not inform clients that a device had exhausted its one-time-key pool, potentially causing problems decrypting events. ([\#10485](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10485))
- Fix reporting old R30 stats as R30v2 stats. Introduced in v1.39.0rc1. ([\#10486](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10486))

* Fix no-access-token bug in deactivation tests
* Support MSC2033: Device ID on whoami
* Test for appservices too
MSC: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2033
The MSC has passed FCP, which means stable endpoints can be used.
Improves type hints for:
* parse_{boolean,integer}
* parse_{boolean,integer}_from_args
* parse_json_{value,object}_from_request
And fixes any incorrect calls that resulted from unknown types.
This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
This is to help with performance, where trying to connect to thousands
of hosts at once can consume a lot of CPU (due to TLS etc).

Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.
The idea here is to stop people sending things that aren't joins/leaves/knocks through these endpoints: previously you could send anything you liked through them. I wasn't able to find any security holes from doing so, but it doesn't sound like a good thing.
This implements refresh tokens, as defined by MSC2918
This MSC has been implemented client side in Hydrogen Web: vector-im/hydrogen-web#235
The basics of the MSC works: requesting refresh tokens on login, having the access tokens expire, and using the refresh token to get a new one.

Required some fixes due to merge conflicts with #6739, but nothing too hairy. The first commit is the same as the original (after merge conflict resolution) then two more for compatibility with the latest sync code.
If a room is remote and we don't have a user in it, always try to join it. It might fail if the room is invite-only, but we don't have a user to invite with, so at this point it's the best we can do.
Fixes#10233 (at least to some extent)
This could cause a minor data leak if someone defined a non-restricted join rule
with an allow key or used a restricted join rule in an older room version, but this is
unlikely.
Additionally this starts adding unit tests to the spaces summary handler.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
This is the first of two PRs which seek to address #8518. This first PR lays the groundwork by extending ResponseCache; a second PR (#10158) will update the SyncHandler to actually use it, and fix the bug.
The idea here is that we allow the callback given to ResponseCache.wrap to decide whether its result should be cached or not. We do that by (optionally) passing a ResponseCacheContext into it, which it can modify.
Fixes#1834.
`get_new_events_for_appservice` internally calls `get_events_as_list`, which will filter out any rejected events. If all returned events are filtered out, `_notify_interested_services` will return without updating the last handled stream position. If there are 100 consecutive such events, processing will halt altogether.
Breaking the loop is now done by checking whether we're up-to-date with `current_max` in the loop condition, instead of relying on an empty `events` list.

Empirically, this helped my server considerably when handling gaps in Matrix HQ. The problem was that we would repeatedly call have_seen_events for the same set of (50K or so) auth_events, each of which would take many minutes to complete, even though it's only an index scan.
* Make `invalidate` and `invalidate_many` do the same thing

`keylen` seems to be a thing that is frequently incorrectly set, and we don't really need it.
The only time it was used was to figure out if we had removed a subtree in `del_multi`, which we can do better by changing `TreeCache.pop` to return a different type (`TreeCacheNode`).
Commits should be independently reviewable.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9962 uncovered that we accidentally removed all but one of the presence updates that we store in the database when persisting multiple updates. This could cause users' presence state to be stale.
The bug was fixed in #10014, and this PR just adds a test that failed on the old code, and was used to initially verify the bug.
The test attempts to insert some presence into the database in a batch using `PresenceStore.update_presence`, and then simply pulls it out again.
- use a tuple rather than a list for the iterable that is passed into the
wrapped function, for performance
- test that we can pass an iterable and that keys are correctly deduped.
This should help ensure that equivalent results are achieved between
homeservers querying for the summary of a space.
This implements modified MSC1772 rules, according to MSC2946.
The different is that the origin_server_ts of the m.room.create event
is not used as a tie-breaker since this might not be known if the
homeserver is not part of the room.

The hope here is that by moving all the schema files into synapse/storage/schema, it gets a bit easier for newcomers to navigate.
It certainly got easier for me to write a helpful README. There's more to do on that front, but I'll follow up with other PRs for that.
This leaves out all optional keys from /sync. This should be fine for all clients tested against conduit already, but it may break some clients, as such we should check, that at least most of them don't break horribly and maybe back out some of the individual changes.

I went through and removed a bunch of cruft that was lying around for compatibility with old Python versions. This PR also will now prevent Synapse from starting unless you're running Python 3.6+.
First of all, a fixup to `FakeChannel` which is needed to make it work with the default HTTP channel implementation.
Secondly, it looks like we no longer need `_PushHTTPChannel`, because as of #8013, the producer that gets attached to the `HTTPChannel` is now an `IPushProducer`. This is good, because it means we can remove a whole load of test-specific boilerplate which causes variation between tests and production.
As far as I can tell our logging contexts are meant to log the request ID, or sometimes the request ID followed by a suffix (this is generally stored in the name field of LoggingContext). There's also code to log the name@memory location, but I'm not sure this is ever used.
This simplifies the code paths to require every logging context to have a name and use that in logging. For sub-contexts (created via nested_logging_contexts, defer_to_threadpool, Measure) we use the current context's str (which becomes their name or the string "sentinel") and then potentially modify that (e.g. add a suffix).
This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).
When receiving a /send_join request for a room with join rules set to 'restricted',

At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
`room_invite_state_types` was inconvenient as a configuration setting, because
anyone that ever set it would not receive any new types that were added to the
defaults. Here, we deprecate the old setting, and replace it with a couple of
new settings under `room_prejoin_state`.
This should fix a class of bug where we forget to check if e.g. the appservice shouldn't be ratelimited.
We also check the `ratelimit_override` table to check if the user has ratelimiting disabled. That table is really only meant to override the event sender ratelimiting, so we don't use any values from it (as they might not make sense for different rate limits), but we do infer that if ratelimiting is disabled for the user we should disabled all ratelimits.
Fixes#9663
Running `dmypy run` will do a `mypy` check while spinning up a daemon
that makes rerunning `dmypy run` a lot faster.
`dmypy` doesn't support `follow_imports = silent` and has
`local_partial_types` enabled, so this PR enables those options and
fixes the issues that were newly raised. Note that `local_partial_types`
will be enabled by default in upcoming mypy releases.
Currently federation catchup will send the last *local* event that we
failed to send to the remote. This can cause issues for large rooms
where lots of servers have sent events while the remote server was down,
as when it comes back up again it'll be flooded with events from various
points in the DAG.
Instead, let's make it so that all the servers send the most recent
events, even if its not theirs. The remote should deduplicate the
events, so there shouldn't be much overhead in doing this.
Alternatively, the servers could only send local events if they were
also extremities and hope that the other server will send the event
over, but that is a bit risky.
This bug was discovered by DINUM. We were modifying `serialized_event["content"]`, which - if you've got `USE_FROZEN_DICTS` turned on or are [using a third party rules module](17cd48fe51/synapse/events/third_party_rules.py (L73-L76)) - will raise a 500 if you try to a edit a reply to a message.
`serialized_event["content"]` could be set to the edit event's content, instead of a copy of it, which is bad as we attempt to modify it. Instead, we also end up modifying the original event's content. DINUM uses a third party rules module, which meant the event's content got frozen and thus an exception was raised.
To be clear, the problem is not that the event's content was frozen. In fact doing so helped us uncover the fact we weren't copying event content correctly.
Instead of if the user does not have a password hash. This allows a SSO
user to add a password to their account, but only if the local password
database is configured.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
Federation catch up mode is very inefficient if the number of events
that the remote server has missed is small, since handling gaps can be
very expensive, c.f. #9492.
Instead of going into catch up mode whenever we see an error, we instead
do so only if we've backed off from trying the remote for more than an
hour (the assumption being that in such a case it is more than a
transient failure).
Unfortunately this doesn't test re-joining the room since
that requires having another homeserver to query over
federation, which isn't easily doable in unit tests.
This great big stack of commits is a a whole load of hoop-jumping to make it easier to store additional values in login tokens, and then to actually store the SSO Identity Provider in the login token. (Making use of that data will follow in a subsequent PR.)
### Changes proposed in this PR
- Add support for the `no_proxy` and `NO_PROXY` environment variables
- Internally rely on urllib's [`proxy_bypass_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2519))
- Extract env variables using urllib's `getproxies`/[`getproxies_environment`](bdb941be42/Lib/urllib/request.py (L2488)) which supports lowercase + uppercase, preferring lowercase, except for `HTTP_PROXY` in a CGI environment
This does contain behaviour changes for consumers so making sure these are called out:
- `no_proxy`/`NO_PROXY` is now respected
- lowercase `https_proxy` is now allowed and taken over `HTTPS_PROXY`

* Split ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig
This is so that we have a type level understanding of when it is safe to
call `get_instance(..)` (as opposed to `should_handle(..)`).
* Remove special cases in ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig.
`ShardedWorkerHandlingConfig` tried to handle the various different ways
it was possible to configure federation senders and pushers. This led to
special cases that weren't hit during testing.
To fix this the handling of the different cases is moved from there and
`generic_worker` into the worker config class. This allows us to have
the logic in one place and allows the rest of the code to ignore the
different cases.
This PR remove the cache for the `get_shared_rooms_for_users` storage method (the db method driving the experimental "what rooms do I share with this user?" feature: [MSC2666](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2666)). Currently subsequent requests to the endpoint will return the same result, even if your shared rooms with that user have changed.
The cache was added in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7785, but we forgot to ensure it was invalidated appropriately.
Upon attempting to invalidate it, I found that the cache had to be entirely invalidated whenever a user (remote or local) joined or left a room. This didn't make for a very useful cache, especially for a function that may or may not be called very often. Thus, I've opted to remove it instead of invalidating it.
This PR attempts to eliminate unnecessary presence sending work when your local server joins a room, or when a remote server joins a room your server is participating in by processing state deltas in chunks rather than individually.
---
When your server joins a room for the first time, it requests the historical state as well. This chunk of new state is passed to the presence handler which, after filtering that state down to only membership joins, will send presence updates to homeservers for each join processed.
It turns out that we were being a bit naive and processing each event individually, and sending out presence updates for every one of those joins. Even if many different joins were users on the same server (hello IRC bridges), we'd send presence to that same homeserver for every remote user join we saw.
This PR attempts to deduplicate all of that by processing the entire batch of state deltas at once, instead of only doing each join individually. We process the joins and note down which servers need which presence:
* If it was a local user join, send that user's latest presence to all servers in the room
* If it was a remote user join, send the presence for all local users in the room to that homeserver
We deduplicate by inserting all of those pending updates into a dictionary of the form:
```
{
server_name1: {presence_update1, ...},
server_name2: {presence_update1, presence_update2, ...}
}
```
Only after building this dict do we then start sending out presence updates.
This PR adds a homeserver config option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, that when enabled will show local users higher in user directory search results than remote users. This option is off by default.
Note that turning this on doesn't necessarily mean that remote users will always be put below local users, but they should be assuming all other ranking factors (search query match, profile information present etc) are identical.
This is useful for, say, University networks that are openly federating, but want to prioritise local students and staff in the user directory over other random users.
Add off-by-default configuration settings to:
- disable putting an invitee's profile info in invite events
- disable profile lookup via federation

This reduces the memory usage of previewing media files which
end up larger than the `max_spider_size` by avoiding buffering

It also checks the `Content-Length` header in additional places
instead of streaming the content to check the body length.

Synapse 1.27.0rc2 (2021-02-11)

----------------------
- Clarify the sample configuration for changes made to the template loading code. ([\#9310](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9310))
Fixes some exceptions if the room state isn't quite as expected.
If the expected state events aren't found, try to find them in the
historical room state. If they still aren't found, fallback to a reasonable,
although ugly, value.
This could arguably replace the existing admin API for `/members`, however that is out of scope of this change.
This sort of endpoint is ideal for moderation use cases as well as other applications, such as needing to retrieve various bits of information about a room to perform a task (like syncing power levels between two places). This endpoint exposes nothing more than an admin would be able to access with a `select *` query on their database.
* Fixes a case where no summary text was returned.
* The use of messages_from_person vs. messages_from_person_and_others
was tweaked to depend on whether there was 1 sender or multiple senders,
not based on if there was 1 room or multiple rooms.
There's some prelimiary work here to pull out the construction of a jinja environment to a separate function.
I wanted to load the template at display time rather than load time, so that it's easy to update on the fly. Honestly, I think we should do this with all our templates: the risk of ending up with malformed templates is far outweighed by the improved turnaround time for an admin trying to update them.
Fixes#8966.
* Factor out build_synapse_client_resource_tree
Start a function which will mount resources common to all workers.
* Move sso init into build_synapse_client_resource_tree
... so that we don't have to do it for each worker
* Fix SSO-login-via-a-worker
Expose the SSO login endpoints on workers, like the documentation says.
* Update workers config for new endpoints
Add documentation for endpoints recently added (#8942, #9017, #9262)
* remove submit_token from workers endpoints list
this *doesn't* work on workers (yet).
* changelog
* Add a comment about the odd path for SAML2Resource
There are going to be a couple of paths to get to the final step of SSO reg, and I want the URL in the browser to consistent. So, let's move the final step onto a separate path, which we redirect to.
Treat unknown encodings (according to lxml) as UTF-8
when generating a preview for HTML documents. This
isn't fully accurate, but will hopefully give a reasonable
title and summary.
This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via
the admin API and adds documentation for it.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their
client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms.
Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead
to confusing or broken behaviour for the client.

If no thumbnail of the requested type exists, return a 404 instead
of erroring. This doesn't quite match the spec (which does not define
what happens if no thumbnail can be found), but is consistent with
what Synapse already does.
* Factor out a common TestHtmlParser
Looks like I'm doing this in a few different places.
* Improve OIDC login test
Complete the OIDC login flow, rather than giving up halfway through.
* Ensure that OIDC login works with multiple OIDC providers
* Fix bugs in handling clientRedirectUrl
- don't drop duplicate query-params, or params with no value
- allow utf-8 in query-params
0dd2649c1 (#9112) changed the signature of `auth_via_oidc`. Meanwhile,
26d10331e (#9091) introduced a new test which relied on the old signature of
`auth_via_oidc`. The two branches were never tested together until they landed
in develop.
We do this by allowing a single iteration to process multiple rooms at a
time, as there are often a lot of really tiny rooms, which can massively
slow things down.
This is the final step for supporting multiple OIDC providers concurrently.
First of all, we reorganise the config so that you can specify a list of OIDC providers, instead of a single one. Before:
oidc_config:
enabled: true
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
# etc
After:
oidc_providers:
- idp_id: prov1
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
- idp_id: prov2
issuer: "https://another_oidc_provider"
The old format is still grandfathered in.
With that done, it's then simply a matter of having OidcHandler instantiate a new OidcProvider for each configured provider.
Protecting media stops it from being quarantined when
e.g. all media in a room is quarantined. This is useful
for sticker packs and other media that is uploaded by
server administrators, but used by many people.
* make the OIDC bits of the test work at a higher level - via the REST api instead of poking the OIDCHandler directly.
* Move it to test_login.py, where I think it fits better.
Again in preparation for handling more than one OIDC provider, add a new caveat to the macaroon used as an OIDC session cookie, which remembers which OIDC provider we are talking to. In future, when we get a callback, we'll need it to make sure we talk to the right IdP.
As part of this, I'm adding an idp_id and idp_name field to the OIDC configuration object. They aren't yet documented, and we'll just use the old values by default.
The idea here is that we will have an instance of OidcProvider for each
configured IdP, with OidcHandler just doing the marshalling of them.
For now it's still hardcoded with a single provider.
This checks that the domain given to `DomainSpecificString.is_valid` (e.g.
`UserID`, `RoomAlias`, etc.) is of a valid form. Previously some validation
was done on the localpart (e.g. the sigil), but not the domain portion.
Some light refactoring of OidcHandler, in preparation for bigger things:
* remove inheritance from deprecated BaseHandler
* add an object to hold the things that go into a session cookie
* factor out a separate class for manipulating said cookies
SynapseRequest is in danger of becoming a bit of a dumping-ground for "useful stuff relating to Requests",
which isn't really its intention (its purpose is to override render, finished and connectionLost to set up the
LoggingContext and write the right entries to the request log).
Putting utility functions inside SynapseRequest means that lots of our code ends up requiring a
SynapseRequest when there is nothing synapse-specific about the Request at all, and any old
twisted.web.iweb.IRequest will do. This increases code coupling and makes testing more difficult.
In short: move get_user_agent out to a utility function.
* Implement CasHandler.handle_redirect_request
... to make it match OidcHandler and SamlHandler
* Clean up interface for OidcHandler.handle_redirect_request
Make it accept `client_redirect_url=None`.
* Clean up interface for `SamlHandler.handle_redirect_request`
... bring it into line with CAS and OIDC by making it take a Request parameter,
move the magic for `client_redirect_url` for UIA into the handler, and fix the
return type to be a `str` rather than a `bytes`.
* Define a common protocol for SSO auth provider impls
* Give SsoIdentityProvider an ID and register them
* Combine the SSO Redirect servlets
Now that the SsoHandler knows about the identity providers, we can combine the
various *RedirectServlets into a single implementation which delegates to the
right IdP.

The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.
This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:
- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.
I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.
This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.
Co-authored-by: Matthew Hodgson <matthew@matrix.org>
This had two effects 1) it'd give the wrong answer and b) would iterate
*all* power levels in the auth chain of each event. The latter of which
can be *very* expensive for certain types of IRC bridge rooms that have
large numbers of power level changes.
The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.
Fixes#8876.
Fixes a bug that deactivated users appear in the directory when their profile information was updated.
To change profile information of deactivated users is neccesary for example you will remove displayname or avatar.
But they should not appear in directory. They are deactivated.
Co-authored-by: Erik Johnston <erikj@jki.re>
This is another part of my work towards fixing #8876. It moves some of the logic currently in the SAML and OIDC handlers - in particular the call to `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login` down into the `SsoHandler`.
The two are equivalent, but really we want to check the HTTP result that got
returned to the channel, not the code that the Request object *intended* to
return to the channel.
* move simple_async_mock to test_utils
... so that it can be re-used
* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.
* changelog
* Remove references to handler._auth_handler
(and replace them with hs.get_auth_handler)
* Factor out a utility function for building Requests
* Remove mocks of `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user`
This method is going away, so mocking it out is no longer a valid approach.
Instead, we mock out lower-level methods (eg _remote_id_from_userinfo), or
simply allow the regular implementation to proceed and update the expectations
accordingly.
* Remove references to `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead
we build mock "callback" requests which we pass into `handle_oidc_callback`,
and verify correct behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.

Synapse 1.24.0rc2 (2020-12-04)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a regression in v1.24.0rc1 which failed to allow SAML mapping providers which were unable to redirect users to an additional page. ([\#8878](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8878))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Add support for the `prometheus_client` newer than 0.9.0. Contributed by Jordan Bancino. ([\#8875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8875))
Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
We do state res with unpersisted events when calculating the new current state of the room, so that should be the only thing impacted. I don't think this is tooooo big of a deal as:
1. the next time a state event happens in the room the current state should correct itself;
2. in the common case all the unpersisted events' auth events will be pulled in by other state, so will still return the correct result (or one which is sufficiently close to not affect the result); and
3. we mostly use the state at an event to do important operations, which isn't affected by this.
Rather than using a single JsonResource, construct a resource tree, as we do in
the prod code, and allow testcases to add extra resources by overriding
`create_resource_dict`.
This was broken in #8801 when abstracting code shared with OIDC.
After this change both SAML and OIDC have a concept of
grandfathering users, but with different implementations.
This PR adds a `room_version` argument to the `RestHelper`'s `create_room_as` function for tests. I plan to use this for testing knocking, which currently uses an unstable room version.
The spec requires synapse to support `identifier` dicts for `m.login.password`
user-interactive auth, which it did not (instead, it required an undocumented
`user` parameter.)
To fix this properly, we need to pull the code that interprets `identifier`
into `AuthHandler.validate_login` so that it can be called from the UIA code.
Fixes#5665.
This PR adds a new config option to the `push` section of the homeserver config, `group_unread_count_by_room`. By default Synapse will group push notifications by room (so if you have 1000 unread messages, if they lie in 55 rooms, you'll see an unread count on your phone of 55).
However, it is also useful to be able to send out the true count of unread messages if desired. If `group_unread_count_by_room` is set to `false`, then with the above example, one would see an unread count of 1000 (email anyone?).
Checks that the localpart returned by mapping providers for SAML and
OIDC are valid before registering new users.
Extends the OIDC tests for existing users and invalid data.
* Consistently use room_id from federation request body
Some federation APIs have a redundant `room_id` path param (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2330). We should make sure we
consistently use either the path param or the body param, and the body param is
easier.
* Kill off some references to "context"
Once upon a time, "rooms" were known as "contexts". I think this kills of the
last references to "contexts".
remove the stubbing out of `request.process`, so that `requestReceived` also renders the request via the appropriate resource.
Replace render() with a stub for now.
The root resource isn't necessarily a JsonResource, so rename this method
accordingly, and update a couple of test classes to use the method rather than
directly manipulating self.resource.
Where we want to render a request against a specific Resource, call the global
make_request() function rather than the one in HomeserverTestCase, allowing us
to pass in an appropriate `Site`.
