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.
* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string
* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource
* use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
(giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)
* do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.
'client_auth_method' commented out value was erronously 'client_auth_basic',
when code and docstring says it should be 'client_secret_basic'.

If the admin adds a `.yaml` file that's either empty or doesn't parse into a dict to a config directory (e.g. `conf.d` for debs installs), stuff like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322 would happen. This PR checks that the file is correctly parsed into a dict, or ignores it with a warning if it parses into any other type (including `None` for empty files).
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322
I don't really remember why this was so complicated; I think it dates
back to the time when we had to instantiate the Config classes before
we could call `add_arguments` - ie before #5597. In any case, I don't
think there's a good reason for it any more, and the impact of it
being complicated is that `--help` doesn't work correctly.
That fallback sets the redirect URL to itself (so it can process the login
token then return gracefully to the client). This would make it pointless to
ask the user for confirmation, since the URL the confirmation page would be
showing wouldn't be the client's.
If an error happened while processing a SAML AuthN response, or a client
ends up doing a `GET` request to `/authn_response`, then render a
customisable error page rather than a confusing error.
* Give `notif_template_html`, `notif_template_text` default values (fixes#6960)
* Don't complain if `smtp_host` and `smtp_port` are unset, since they have sensible defaults (fixes#6961)
* Set the example for `enable_notifs` to `True`, for consistency and because it's more useful
* Raise errors as ConfigError rather than RuntimeError for nicer formatting
Turns out that figuring out a remote user id for the SAML user isn't quite as obvious as it seems. Factor it out to the SamlMappingProvider so that it's easy to control.
Generally try to make this more comprehensible, and make it match the
conventions.
I've removed the documentation for all the settings which allow you to change
the names of the template files, because I can't really see why they are
useful.
Implement part [MSC2228](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2228). The parts that differ are:
* the feature is hidden behind a configuration flag (`enable_ephemeral_messages`)
* self-destruction doesn't happen for state events
* only implement support for the `m.self_destruct_after` field (not the `m.self_destruct` one)
* doesn't send synthetic redactions to clients because for this specific case we consider the clients to be able to destroy an event themselves, instead we just censor it (by pruning its JSON) in the database
Turns out that loggers that are instantiated before the config is loaded get
turned off.
Also bring the logging config that is generated by --generate-config into line.
Fixes#6194.
Second part of solving #6076Fixes#6076
We return a submit_url parameter on calls to POST */msisdn/requestToken so that clients know where to submit token information to.
Uses a SimpleHttpClient instance equipped with the federation_ip_range_blacklist list for requests to identity servers provided by user input. Does not use a blacklist when contacting identity servers specified by account_threepid_delegates. The homeserver trusts the latter and we don't want to prevent homeserver admins from specifying delegates that are on internal IP addresses.
Fixes#5935
Fixes a bug where the default attribute maps were prioritised over
user-specified ones, resulting in incorrect mappings.
The problem is that if you call SPConfig.load() multiple times, it adds new
attribute mappers to a list. So by calling it with the default config first,
and then the user-specified config, we would always get the default mappers
before the user-specified mappers.
To solve this, let's merge the config dicts first, and then pass them to
SPConfig.
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.
This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.

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
* Remove dependence on jaeger internals
* bools
* Set service name
* :Explicitely state that the tracer is disabled

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.
