This applies rate limiting (through a decorator) of authenticate()
functions in the Email and LDAP backends - because those are the ones
where we check user's password.
The limiting is based on the username that the authentication is
attempted for - more than X attempts in Y minutes to a username is not
permitted.
If the limit is exceeded, RateLimited exception will be raised - this
can be either handled in a custom way by the code that calls
authenticate(), or it will be handled by RateLimitMiddleware and return
a json_error as the response.
validate_otp_params needs to be moved to backends.py, because as of this
commit it'll be used both there and in views.auth - and import from
views.auth to backends.py causes circular import issue.
Because of how login_or_register_remote_user code is structured, this
doesn't change how the flow will go, but it's not a clean use of
login_or_register_remote_user to call it with is_signup=True if sign up
shouldn't actually happen - and may be fragile when refactoring
login_or_register_remote_user.
With LDAP authentication, we don't currently have a good way to
support the default stream groups feature.
The old behavior was just to assume a user select every default stream
group, which seems wrong; since we didn't prompt the user about these,
we should just ignore the feature.
Our ldap integration is quite sensitive to misconfigurations, so more
logging is better than less to help debug those issues.
Despite the following docstring on ZulipLDAPException:
"Since this inherits from _LDAPUser.AuthenticationFailed, these will
be caught and logged at debug level inside django-auth-ldap's
authenticate()"
We weren't actually logging anything, because debug level messages were
ignored due to our general logging settings. It is however desirable to
log these errors, as they can prove useful in debugging configuration
problems. The django_auth_ldap logger can get fairly spammy on debug
level, so we delegate ldap logging to a separate file
/var/log/zulip/ldap.log to avoid spamming server.log too much.
A block of LDAP integration code related to data synchronization did
not correctly handle EMAIL_ADDRESS_VISIBILITY_ADMINS, as it was
accessing .email, not .delivery_email, both for logging and doing the
mapping between email addresses and LDAP users.
Fixes#13539.
We register ZulipRemoteUserBackend as an external_authentication_method
to make it show up in the corresponding field in the /server_settings
endpoint.
This also allows rendering its login button together with
Google/Github/etc. leading to us being able to get rid of some of the
code that was handling it as a special case - the js code for plumbing
the "next" value and the special {% if only_sso %} block in login.html.
An additional consequence of the login.html change is that now the
backend will have it button rendered even if it isn't the only backend
enabled on the server.
This commit builds a more complete concept of an "external
authentication method". Our social backends become a special case of an
external authentication method - but these changes don't change the
actual behavior of social backends, they allow having other backends
(that come from python-social-auth and don't use the social backend
pipeline) share useful code that so far only serviced social backends.
Most importantly, this allows having other backends show up in the
external_authentication_methods field of the /server_settings endpoint,
as well as rendering buttons through the same mechanism as we already
did for social backends.
This moves the creation of dictonaries describing the backend for the
API and button rendering code away into a method, that each backend in
this category is responsible for defining.
To register a backend as an external_authentication_method, it should
subclass ExternalAuthMethod and define its dict_representation
classmethod, and finally use the external_auth_method class decorator to
get added to the EXTERNAL_AUTH_METHODS list.
Previously, the LDAP code for syncing user data was not
multiple-realm-aware, resulting in errors trying to sync data for an
LDAP user present in multiple realms.
Tweaked by tabbott to add some extended comments.
Fixes#11520.
For a long time, we've been only doing the zxcvbn password strength
checks on the browser, which is helpful, but means users could through
hackery (or a bug in the frontend validation code) manage to set a
too-weak password. We fix this by running our password strength
validation on the backend as well, using python-zxcvbn.
In theory, a bug in python-zxcvbn could result in it producing a
different opinion than the frontend version; if so, it'd be a pretty
bad bug in the library, and hopefully we'd hear about it from users,
report upstream, and get it fixed that way. Alternatively, we can
switch to shelling out to node like we do for KaTeX.
Fixes#6880.
A bug in Zulip's new user signup process meant that users who
registered their account using social authentication (e.g. GitHub or
Google SSO) in an organization that also allows password
authentication could have their personal API key stolen by an
unprivileged attacker, allowing nearly full access to the user's
account.
Zulip versions between 1.7.0 and 2.0.6 were affected.
This commit fixes the original bug and also contains a database
migration to fix any users with corrupt `password` fields in the
database as a result of the bug.
Out of an abundance of caution (and to protect the users of any
installations that delay applying this commit), the migration also
resets the API keys of any users where Zulip's logs cannot prove the
user's API key was not previously stolen via this bug. Resetting
those API keys will be inconvenient for users:
* Users of the Zulip mobile and terminal apps whose API keys are reset
will be logged out and need to login again.
* Users using their personal API keys for any other reason will need
to re-fetch their personal API key.
We discovered this bug internally and don't believe it was disclosed
prior to our publishing it through this commit. Because the algorithm
for determining which users might have been affected is very
conservative, many users who were never at risk will have their API
keys reset by this migration.
To avoid this on self-hosted installations that have always used
e.g. LDAP authentication, we skip resetting API keys on installations
that don't have password authentication enabled. System
administrators on installations that used to have email authentication
enabled, but no longer do, should temporarily enable EmailAuthBackend
before applying this migration.
The migration also records which users had their passwords or API keys
reset in the usual RealmAuditLog table.
When creating realm with the ldap backend, the registration flow didn't
properly handle some things - the user wouldn't be set as realm admin,
initial subscriptions and messages weren't created, and the redirect
wasn't happening properly in the case of subdomains.
- Moves "Authentication in the development environment" from subsystems
to "development/authentication.md".
- Moves "Renumbering migrations" to a section within "Schema migrations".
Having to account everywhere for both cases of having and not
having email search configured makes things needlessly complicated.
It's better to make the setting obligatory in configurations other than
LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN.
This function is inherited by ZulipLDAPUserPopulator and overriden by
ZulipLDAPAuthBackend, so it's more clear to have it simply defined in
ZulipLDAPUserPopulator directly.
By adding some additional plumbing (through PreregistrationUser) of the
full_name and an additional full_name_validated option, we
pre-populate the Full Name field in the registration form when coming
through a social backend (google/github/saml/etc.) and potentially skip
the registration form (if the user would have nothing to do there other
than clicking the Confirm button) and just create the account and log
the user in.
These are returned through the API, at the /server_settings
endpoint. It's better to just return the list of dicts with a guarantee
of being sorted in the correct order, than to clutter things with the
sort_order field.
The url scheme is now /accounts/login/social/saml/{idp_name} to initiate
login using the IdP configured under "idp_name" name.
display_name and display_logo (the name and icon to show on the "Log in
with" button) can be customized by adding the apprioprate settings in
the configured IdP dictionaries.
login_context now gets the social_backends list through
get_social_backend_dicts and we move display_logo customization
to backend class definition.
This prepares for easily adding multiple IdP support in SAML
authentication - there will be a social_backend dict for each configured
IdP, also allowing display_name and icon customization per IdP.
This changes the way django_to_ldap_username works to make sure the ldap
username it returns actually has a corresponding ldap entry and raise an
exception if that's not possible. It seems to be a more sound approach
than just having it return its best guess - which was the case so far.
Now there is a guarantee that what it returns is the username of an
actual ldap user.
This allows communicating to the registration flow when the email being
registered doesn't belong to ldap, which then will proceed to register
it via the normal email backend flow - finally fixing the bug where you
couldn't register a non-ldap email even with the email backend enabled.
These changes to the behavior of django_to_ldap_username require small
refactorings in a couple of other functions that call it, as well as
adapting some tests to these changes. Finally, additional tests are
added for the above-mentioned registration flow behavior and some
related corner-cases.
Fixes#11878
Instead of a confusing mix of django_auth_backed applying
ldap_to_django_username in its internals for one part of the
translation, and then custom logic for grabbing it from the email
attribute of the ldapuser in ZulipLDAPAuthBackend.get_or_build_user
for the second part of the translation,
we put all the logic in a single function user_email_from_ldapuser
which will be used by get_or_build of both ZulipLDAPUserPopulator and
ZulipLDAPAuthBackend.
This, building on the previous commits with the email search feature,
fixes the ldap sync bug from issue #11878.
If we can get upstream django-auth-ldap to merge
https://github.com/django-auth-ldap/django-auth-ldap/pull/154, we'll
be able to go back to using the version of ldap_to_django_username
that accepts a _LDAPUser object.
With this, django_to_ldap_username can take an email and find the ldap
username of the ldap user who has this email - if email search is
configured.
This allows successful authenticate() with ldap email and ldap password,
instead of ldap username. This is especially useful because when
a user wants to fetch their api key, the server attempts authenticate
with user_profile.email - and this used to fail if the user was an ldap
user (because the ldap username was required to authenticate
succesfully). See issue #9277.
This fixes a collection of bugs surrounding LDAP configurations A and
C (i.e. LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN=None) with EmailAuthBackend also enabled.
The core problem was that our desired security model in that setting
of requiring LDAP authentication for accounts managed by LDAP was not
implementable without a way to
Now admins can configure an LDAPSearch query that will find if there
are users in LDAP that have the email address and
email_belongs_to_ldap() will take advantage of that - no longer
returning True in response to all requests and thus blocking email
backend authentication.
In the documentation, we describe this as mandatory configuration for
users (and likely will make it so soon in the code) because the
failure modes for this not being configured are confusing.
But making that change is pending work to improve the relevant error
messages.
Fixes#11715.
There are a few outstanding issues that we expect to resolve beforce
including this in a release, but this is good checkpoint to merge.
This PR is a collaboration with Tim Abbott.
Fixes#716.
If the social backend doesn't have get_verified_emails emails, and we
simply grab kwargs["details"].get("email") for the email, we should
still validate it is correct.
Needed for SAML. This will get covered by tests in upcoming commits that
add SAML support.
any_oauth_backend_enabled is all about whether we will have extra
buttons on the login/register pages for logging in with some non-native
backends (like Github, Google etc.). And this isn't about specifically
oauth backends, but generally "social" backends - that may not rely
specifically rely on Oauth. This will have more concrete relevance when
SAML authentication is added - which will be a "social" backend,
requiring an additional button, but not Oauth-based.
SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKEND / OAUTH_BACKEND_NAMES are currently the same
backends. All Oauth backends are social, and all social are oauth.
So we get rid of OAUTH_BACKEND_NAMES and use only SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKENDS.
Also cleans up the interface between the management command and the
LDAP backends code to not guess/recompute under what circumstances
what should be logged.

The order of operations for our LDAP synchronization code wasn't
correct: We would run the code to sync avatars (etc.) even for
deactivated users.
Thanks to niels for the report.
Co-authored-by: mateuszmandera <mateusz.mandera@protonmail.com>
Fixes#13130.
django_auth_ldap doesn't give any other way of detecting that LDAPError
happened other than catching the signal it emits - so we have to
register a receiver. In the receiver we just raise our own Exception
which will properly propagate without being silenced by
django_auth_ldap. This will stop execution before the user gets
deactivated.
For the emails that are associated to an existing account in an
organisation, the avatars will be displayed in the email selection
page. This includes avatar data in what is passed to the page.
Added `avatar_urls` to the context in `test_templates.py`.
Apparently GitHub changed the email address for these; we need to
update our code accordingly.
One cannot receive emails on the username@users.noreply.github.com, so
if someone tries creating an account with this email address, that
person would not be able to verify the account.
This replaces the two custom Google authentication backends originally
written in 2012 with using the shared python-social-auth codebase that
we already use for the GitHub authentication backend. These are:
* GoogleMobileOauth2Backend, the ancient code path for mobile
authentication last used by the EOL original Zulip Android app.
* The `finish_google_oauth2` code path in zerver/views/auth.py, which
was the webapp (and modern mobile app) Google authentication code
path.
This change doesn't fix any known bugs; its main benefit is that we
get to remove hundreds of lines of security-sensitive semi-duplicated
code, replacing it with a widely trusted, high quality third-party
library.
Previously, our Github authentication backend just used the user's
primary email address associated with GitHub, which was a reasonable
default, but quite annoying for users who have several email addresses
associated with their GitHub account.
We fix this, by adding a new screen where users can select which of
their (verified) GitHub email addresses to use for authentication.
This is implemented using the "partial" feature of the
python-social-auth pipeline system.
Each email is displayed as a button. Clicking on that button chooses
the email. The email value is stored in a hidden input above the
button. The `primary_email` is displayed on top followed by
`verified_non_primary_emails`. Backend name is also passed as
`backend` to the template, which in our case is GitHub.
Fixes#9876.
This fixes an issue that caused LDAP synchronization to fail for
avatars. The problem occurred due to the lack of a 'name' attribute
on the BytesIO object that we pass to the upload backend (which is
only used in the S3 backend for computing Content-Type).
Fixes#12411.
Since positional arguments are interpreted differently by different
backends in Django's authentication backend system, it’s safer to
disallow them.
This had been the motivation for previously declaring the parameters
with default values when we were on Python 2, but that was not super
effective because Python has no rule against positional default
arguments and that convention for our authentication backends was
solely enforced by code review.

This avoids repeatedly calling a Django auth function that takes a few
hundred microseconds to run in auth_enabled_helper, which itself is
currently called 14 times in every request to pages using
common_context.
Previously, the LDAP authentication model ignored the realm-level
settings for who can join a realm. This was sort of reasonable at the
time, because the original LDAP auth was an SSO solution that didn't
allow multiple realms, and so one could fully configure authentication
settings on the LDAP side. But now that we allow multiple realms with
the LDAP backend, one could easily imagine wanting different
restrictions on them, and so it makes sense to add this enforcement.
Now that we've more or less stabilized our authentication/registration
subsystem how we want it, it seems worth adding proper documentation
for this.
Fixes#7619.
Earlier the behavior was to raise an exception thereby stopping the
whole sync. Now we log an error message and skip the field. Also
fixes the `query_ldap` command to report missing fields without
error.
Fixes: #11780.
For Google auth, the multiuse invite key should be stored in the
csrf_state sent to google along with other values like is_signup,
mobile_flow_otp.
For social auth, the multiuse invite key should be passed as params to
the social-auth backend. The passing of the key is handled by
social_auth pipeline and made available to us when the auth is
completed.
We had an inconsistent behavior when `LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN` was set
in that we allowed user to enter username instead of his email in
the auth form but later the workflow failed due to a small bug.
Fixes: #10917.
This should make life a lot more convenient for organizations that use
the LDAP integration and have their avatars in LDAP already.
This hasn't been end-to-end tested against LDAP yet, so there may be
some minor revisions, but fundamentally, it works, has automated
tests, and should be easy to maintain.
Fixes#286.
A key part of this is the new helper, get_user_by_delivery_email. Its
verbose name is important for clarity; it should help avoid blind
copy-pasting of get_user (which we'll also want to rename).
Unfortunately, it requires detailed understanding of the context to
figure out which one to use; each is used in about half of call sites.
Another important note is that this PR doesn't migrate get_user calls
in the tests except where not doing so would cause the tests to fail.
This probably deserves a follow-up refactor to avoid bugs here.
Realm object is not json-serializable; store the realm id instead
and retrieve the realm in social_auth_finish using
`Realm.objects.get(id=return_data["realm_id"])`.
The email_list returned has the primary email as the first element.
Testing: The order of the emails in the test was changed to put a
verified email before the primary one. The tests would fail without
this commit's change after the changes in the order of test emails.
These lazy imports save a significant amount of time on Zulip's core
import process, because mock imports pbr, which in turn import
pkgresources, which is in turn incredibly slow to import.

Use FAKE_LDAP_NUM_USERS which specifies the number of LDAP users
instead of FAKE_LDAP_EXTRA_USERS which specified the number of
extra users.
This uses the MockLDAP class of fakeldap to fake a ldap server, based
on the approach already used in the tests in `test_auth_backends.py`.
Adds the following settings:
- FAKE_LDAP_MODE: Lets user choose out of three preset configurations.
The default mode if someone erases the entry in settings is 'a'. The
fake ldap server is disable if this option is set to None.
- FAKE_LDAP_EXTRA_USERS: Number of extra users in LDAP directory beyond
the default 8.

Also AUTH_LDAP_CACHE_GROUPS is depricated in favor of

We need to do a small monkey-patching of python-social-auth to ensure
that it doesn't 500 the request when a user does something funny in
their browser (e.g. using the back button in the auth flow) that is
fundamentally a user error, not a server error.
This was present in the pre-rewrite version of our Social auth
codebase, without clear documentation; I've fixed the explanation
part here.
It's perhaps worth investigating with the core social auth team
whether there's a better way to do this.
It's possible to make GitHub social authentication support letting the
user pick which of their verified email addresses to pick, using the
python-social-auth pipeline feature. We need to add an additional
screen to let the user pick, so we're not adding support for that now,
but this at least migrates this to use the data set of all emails that
have been verified as associated with the user's GitHub account (and
we just assume the user wants their primary email).
This also fixes the inability for very old GitHub accounts (where the
`email` field in the details might be a string the user wanted on
their GitHub profile page) to using GitHub auth to login.
Fixes#9127.
This new implementation model is a lot cleaner and should extend
better to the non-oauth backend supported by python-social-auth (since
we're not relying on monkey-patching `do_auth` in the OAuth backend
base class).
The previous logic made it look like catching ZulipLDAPException on
the authenticate() line was possible, but it isn't, because that
exception is actually being handled inside django-auth-ldap's
authenticate method.
Previously, if you had LDAPAuthBackend enabled, we basically blocked
any other auth backends from working at all, by requiring the user's
login flow include verifying the user's LDAP password.
We still want to enforce that in the case that the account email
matches LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN, but there's a reasonable corner case:
Having effectively guest users from outside the LDAP domain.
We don't want to allow creating a Zulip-level password for a user
inside the LDAP domain, so we still verify the LDAP password in that
flow, but if the email is allowed to register (due to invite or
whatever) but is outside the LDAP domain for the organization, we
allow it to create an account and set a password.
For the moment, this solution only covers EmailAuthBackend. It's
likely that just extending the list of other backends we check for in
the new conditional on `email_auth_backend` would be correct, but we
haven't done any testing for those cases, and with auth code paths,
it's better to disallow than allow untested code paths.
Fixes#9422.
Previously, if both EmailAuthBackend and LDAPAuthBackend were enabled,
LDAP users could set a password using EmailAuthBackend and continue to
use that password, even if their LDAP account was later deactivated.
That configuration wasn't supported at all before, so this doesn't fix
a pre-existing security issue, but now that we're making that a valid
configuration, we need to cover this case.
The code in maybe_send_to_registration incorrectly used the
`get_realm_from_request` function to fetch the subdomain. This usage
was incorrect in a way that should have been irrelevant, because that
function only differs if there's a logged-in user, and in this code
path, a user is never logged in (it's the code path for logged-out
users trying to sign up).
This this bug could confuse unit tests that might run with a logged-in
client session. This made it possible for several of our GitHub auth
tests to have a totally invalid subdomain value (the root domain).
Fixing that bug in the tests, in turn, let us delete a code path in
the GitHub auth backend logic in `backends.py` that is impossible in
production, and had just been left around for these broken tests.
This is done mainly because this backend has the simplest code path
for calling login_or_register_remote_user, more than because we expect
this case to come up. It'll make it easier to write unit tests for
the `invalid_subdomain` corner case.
In this commit we start to support redirects to urls supplied as a
'next' param for the following two backends:
* GoogleOAuth2 based backend.
* GitHubAuthBackend.
This is necessary for mobile apps to do the right thing when only
RemoteUserBackend is enabled, namely, directly redirect to the
third-party SSO auth site as soon as the user enters the server URL
(no need to display a login form, since it'll be useless).
I probably should have just done this in the original implementation;
there's only a small downside in the form of an extra database query
when trying to authenticate a user who doesn't exist.
Structurally, the main change here is replacing the `clean_username`
function, which would get called when one accessed
self.cleaned_data['username'] with code in the main `clean` function.
This is important because only in `clean` do we have access to the
`realm` object.
Since I recently added full test coverage on this form, we know each
of the major cases have a test; the error messages are unchanged.
This deletes the old mock-covered test for this, which was mostly
useless. We have a much less messy test, which we extend to provide
the same test coverage the old one did.
While the result was the same before, this makes it more obvious.
We created this redundant pair of conditionals in a preceding commit,
in order to match the indentation of an `except` block so as to slice
the diffs extra finely as we're refactoring auth code.
This lets us delete some duplicate code, since common_get_active_user
handles an account in the wrong subdomain for us.
Also lets us delete the now-unused common_get_active_user_by_email.
This way, we don't attempt to evaluate whether the user's account is
active (etc.) until after we've checked the backend is enabled. This
won't change the result of actual auth, but feels more readable.
This is a behavior change, though we don't check the value in the
caller regardless. It just seems more logical for us to correctly
report to the caller whether the Google auth itself was valid
unconditionally.
This code path was only required because we had remote_user set as a
positional argument here, and thus we'd be running this auth backend's
code when actually using another auth backend (due to how Django auth
backends are selected based on argument signature).
This require some care to ensure we still provide the same nice error
messages for the case of a user who has an account, just not with this
organization.
Also, we fix the fact that the docstring was (and I think always has
been) at best confusing and perhaps even inaccurate.
Now we have moved the `do_auth` function to `SocialAuthMixin`. Instead
of overriding `do_auth`, derived class is now expected to override
`get_authenticated_user`.
`do_auth` now contains code which is expected by all backends.
Most of these have more to do with authentication in general than with
registering a new account. `create_preregistration_user` could go
either way; we move it to `auth` so we can make the imports go only in
one direction.
Now that every call site of check_subdomain produces its second
argument in exactly the same way, push that shared bit of logic
into a new wrapper for check_subdomain.
Also give that new function a name that says more specifically what
it's checking -- which I think is easier to articulate for this
interface than for that of check_subdomain.
This fixes a problem we've seen where LDAP users were not getting this
part of the onboarding process, and a similar problem for human users
created via the API.
Ideally, we would have put these fixes in process_new_human_user, but
that would cause import loop problems.
Create a new custom email backend which would automatically
logs the emails that are send in the dev environment as
well as print a friendly message in console to visit /emails

Since django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend is no longer
userd emails would not be printed to the console anymore.
In 1.2.15 version of django-auth-ldap, the authenticate() function of
LDAPBackend takes username and password as keyword arguments. This
commit updates the code to match this change.
Fixes#6588
It turns out that very little code change is required to support
GitHub auth on mobile. Ideally, this would come with tests, though
the complicated part of the code path is covered by the Google auth
version. But writing a test for this would take a long time, and I
think it's worth having the feature now, so I'll be doing tests as a
follow-up project.
Most of the paths leading through this except clause were cut in
73e8bba37 "ldap auth: Reassure django_auth_ldap". The remaining one
had no test coverage -- the case that leads to it had a narrow unit
test, but no test had the exception actually propagate here. As a
result, the clause was mistakenly cut, in commit
8d7f961a6 "LDAP: Remove now-impossible except clause.", which could
lead to an uncaught exception in production.
Restore the except clause, and add a test for it.
Since we made ZulipLDAPException a subclass of
_LDAPUser.AuthenticationFailed, the django-auth-ldap library already
handles catching it and returning None.
This fixes missing test coverage in this function introduced by
73e8bba379.
The main `authenticate` method in the django_auth_ldap package logs a message
at `exception` level if it passes through an exception it wasn't expecting.
Sensible practice, but we'd been passing through just such an exception for
any kind of routine authentication failure. After we recently stopped suppressing
an arbitrary subset of loggers with `disable_existing_loggers`, these started
showing up noisily, including in tests.
So, make our exceptions expected. Just like our own code, the upstream code
raises exceptions of a particular type for routine auth failures, and catches
them and just returns None. We make our type derive from that one, so as to
just piggyback on that behavior.
Fixes an issue reported in a comment to #6674.
This commit enables user to authenticate with any attribute set in
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH given that LDAP_EMAIL_ATTR is set to an email
attributes in the ldap server. Thus email and username can be
completely unrelated.
With some tweaks by tabbott to squash in the documentation and make it
work on older servers.
I was too hasty in pushing this -- it looks right logically, but it
breaks a test. May not be hard to fix forward, but reverting now to
unbreak the build in master.
This reverts commit 02acd467b4.
The whole thing is an error, so "message" is a more apt word for the
error message specifically. We abbreviate that as `msg` in the actual
HTTP responses and in the signatures of `json_error` and friends, so
do the same here.
This completes a major redesign of the Zulip login and registration
pages, making them look much more slick and modern.
Major features include:
* Display of the realm name, description and icon on the login page
and registration pages in the subdomains case.
* Much slicker looking buttons and input fields.
* A new overall style for the exterior of these portico pages.
This commit makes sure that GitHubAuthBackend will only authenticate
using its own authenticate method. This is done by adding a new
Python Social Auth strategy which instead of calling authenticate
method of Django, calls the authenticate of the backend directly.
The problem this commit solves is that while authenticating through
GitHub backend, we were ending up getting authenticated through
ZulipDummyBackend. This might happen because the default strategy used
by Python Social Auth calls the authenticate method of Django which
iterates over all the backends and tries the authenticate methods
which match with the function arguments. The new strategy this commit
adds calls the authenticate method of GitHub backend directly which
makes sense because we already know that we want to authenticate with
GithHub.
The actual problem of why we are ending up on ZulipDummyBackend is
still a mystery because the function arguments passed to its
authenticate method are different. It shouldn't be called.
Django tries to authenticate against all backends one by one.
The authenticate() function of GitHub backend used to take
*args and **kwargs arguments due to which it could be called
against any set of arguments. Django uses arguments to
differentiate authenticate() methods.
