The 'time' caveat on the access tokens was something of a lie, since we weren't
enforcing it; more pertinently its presence stops us ever adding useful time
caveats.
Let's move in the right direction by not lying in our caveats.
This fixes a race whereby:
- User hits an endpoint.
- No cached transaction so executes main code.
- User hits same endpoint.
- No cache transaction so executes main code.
- Main code finishes executing and caches response and returns.
- Main code finishes executing and caches response and returns.
This race is common in the wild when Synapse is struggling under load.
This commit fixes the race by:
- User hits an endpoint.
- Caches the promise to execute the main code and executes main code.
- User hits same endpoint.
- Yields on the same promise as the first request.
- Main code finishes executing and returns, unblocking both requests.
Rather than reimplementing the token parsing in the various places.
This will make it easier to change the token parsing to allow access_tokens
in HTTP headers.
It was always intended to allow custom keys on the join event, but this has
at some point been lost. Restore it.
If the user specifies keys like "avatar_url" then they will be clobbered.
hs.get_handlers() can not be invoked from split out processes. Moving
the invocations down a level means that we can slowly split out
individual servlets.
* `RegistrationHandler.appservice_register` no longer issues an access token:
instead it is left for the caller to do it. (There are two of these, one in
`synapse/rest/client/v1/register.py`, which now simply calls
`AuthHandler.issue_access_token`, and the other in
`synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, which is covered below).
* In `synapse/rest/client/v2_alpha/register.py`, move the generation of
access_tokens into `_create_registration_details`. This means that the normal
flow no longer needs to call `AuthHandler.issue_access_token`; the
shared-secret flow can tell `RegistrationHandler.register` not to generate a
token; and the appservice flow continues to work despite the above change.
Add a 'devices' table to the storage, as well as a 'device_id' column to
refresh_tokens.
Allow the client to pass a device_id, and initial_device_display_name, to
/login. If login is successful, then register the device in the devices table
if it wasn't known already. If no device_id was supplied, make one up.
Associate the device_id with the access token and refresh token, so that we can
get at it again later. Ensure that the device_id is copied from the refresh
token to the access_token when the token is refreshed.
Make sure that we have the canonical user_id *before* calling
get_login_tuple_for_user_id.
Replace login_with_password with a method which just validates the password,
and have the caller call get_login_tuple_for_user_id. This brings the password
flow into line with the other flows, and will give us a place to register the
device_id if necessary.
