The spec [states](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#phone-number) that `m.id.phone` requires the field `country` and `phone`.
In Synapse, we've been enforcing `country` and `number`.
I am not currently sure whether this affects any client implementations.
This issue was introduced in #1994.
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
We were doing this in a number of places which meant that some login
code paths incremented the counter multiple times.
It was also applying ratelimiting to UIA endpoints, which was probably
not intentional.
In particular, some custom auth modules were calling
`check_user_exists`, which incremented the counters, meaning that people
would fail to login sometimes.
The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
We want to assign unique mxids to saml users based on an incrementing
suffix. For that to work, we need to record the allocated mxid in a separate
table.
Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)
Nothing uses this now, so we can remove the dead code, and clean up the
API.
Since we're changing the shape of the return value anyway, we take the
opportunity to give the method a better name.
* SAML2 Improvements and redirect stuff
Signed-off-by: Alexander Trost <galexrt@googlemail.com>
* Code cleanups and simplifications.
Also: share the saml client between redirect and response handlers.
* changelog
* Revert redundant changes to static js
* Move all the saml stuff out to a centralised handler
* Add support for tracking SAML2 sessions.
This allows us to correctly handle `allow_unsolicited: False`.
* update sample config
* cleanups
* update sample config
* rename BaseSSORedirectServlet for consistency
* Address review comments
Adds a new method, check_3pid_auth, which gives password providers
the chance to allow authentication with third-party identifiers such
as email or msisdn.
