From 8c97f6414cf322fc5b42a92ed0df2fb70bfab3fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff <1389908+richvdh@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2019 08:25:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Remove non-functional 'expire_access_token' setting (#5782) 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) --- changelog.d/5782.removal | 1 + docs/sample_config.yaml | 4 --- synapse/api/auth.py | 28 ++++--------------- synapse/config/key.py | 6 ---- synapse/handlers/auth.py | 2 +- tests/handlers/test_register.py | 2 +- .../test_resource_limits_server_notices.py | 2 +- tests/utils.py | 1 - 8 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/5782.removal diff --git a/changelog.d/5782.removal b/changelog.d/5782.removal new file mode 100644 index 000000000..658bf923a --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/5782.removal @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Remove non-functional 'expire_access_token' setting. diff --git a/docs/sample_config.yaml b/docs/sample_config.yaml index b92959692..08316597f 100644 --- a/docs/sample_config.yaml +++ b/docs/sample_config.yaml @@ -942,10 +942,6 @@ uploads_path: "DATADIR/uploads" # # macaroon_secret_key: -# Used to enable access token expiration. -# -#expire_access_token: False - # a secret which is used to calculate HMACs for form values, to stop # falsification of values.
