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.
This is mostly factoring out the post-CAS-login code to somewhere we can reuse
it for other SSO flows, but it also fixes the userid mapping while we're at it.
* 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.
* Clean up the CSS for the fallback login form
I was finding this hard to work with, so simplify a bunch of things. Each
flow is now a form inside a div of class login_flow.
The login_flow class now has a fixed width, as that looks much better than each
flow having a differnt width.
* Support m.login.sso
MSC1721 renames m.login.cas to m.login.sso. This implements the change
(retaining support for m.login.cas for older clients).
* changelog
I'm going to need to make the device_handler depend on the auth_handler, so I
need to break this dependency to avoid a cycle.
It turns out that the auth_handler was only using the device_handler in one
place which was an edge case which we can more elegantly handle by throwing an
error rather than fixing it up.
I'm going to need some more flexibility in handling login types in password
auth providers, so as a first step, move some stuff from LoginRestServlet into
AuthHandler.
In particular, we pass everything other than SAML, JWT and token logins down to
the AuthHandler, which now has responsibility for checking the login type and
fishing the password out of the login dictionary, as well as qualifying the
user_id if need be. Ideally SAML, JWT and token would go that way too, but
there's no real need for it right now and I'm trying to minimise impact.
This commit *should* be non-functional.
