Apparently, we didn't have any database indexes on Confirmation, which
meant that on servers with large numbers of users like zulipchat.com,
new account registration could spend a ton of time effectively doing a
table scan on this table.
The value of realm attribute in confirmation object used to be empty
before. We are not currently using the realm attribute of reactivation
links anywhere. The value of realm stored in content_object is currently
used.
This adds a web flow and management command for reactivating a Zulip
organization, with confirmation from one of the organization
administrators.
Further work is needed to make the emails nicer (ideally, we'd send
one email with all the admins on the `To` line, but the `send_email`
library doesn't support that).
Fixes#10783.
With significant tweaks to the email text by tabbott.
Now, there's just one spot at the beginning of the function where we
inspect the string key the user gave us; and after that point, we not
only have validated that string but in fact are working from our own
record that it pointed to, not the string itself.
This simplifies the code a bit, e.g. by not repeatedly searching the
database for the key (and hoping everything agrees so that we keep
getting the same row), and it will simplify adding logic to inspect
row attributes like `presume_email_valid`.
The previous code gave the user an extra day past
REALM_CREATION_LINK_VALIDITY_DAYS. Also rewrote it to match the parallel
logic in get_object_from_key.
This change:
* Prevents weird potential attacks like taking a valid confirmation link
(say an unsubscribe link), and putting it into the URL of a multiuse
invite link. I don't know of any such attacks one could do right now, but
reasoning about it is complicated.
* Makes the code easier to read, and in the case of confirmation/views.py,
exposes something that needed refactoring anyway (USER_REGISTRATION and
INVITATION should have different endpoints, and both of those endpoints
should be in zerver/views/registration, not this file).
Except in:
- docs/writing-bots-guide.md, because bots are supposed to be Python 2
compatible
- puppet/zulip_ops/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces, because this
script is still on python2.7
- tools/lint
- tools/linter_lib
- tools/lister.py
For the latter two, because they might be yanked away to a separate repo
for general use with other FLOSS projects.
Also adds Confirmation.type, and cleans up the rest of Confirmation to look
more like the model definitions in zerver.
In the migration, all existing confirmations adopt the type
USER_REGISTRATION, to be conservative. In a few commits, different
confirmation types will have different validity periods, and
USER_REGISTRATION will have the shortest default.
This commit removes the ability to configure different validity durations
for different types of confirmation links. I don't think the extra
configurability was worth the extra complexity, either for the user trying
to understand the settings, or for the developer trying to understand the
code.
The commit replaces all confirmation validity duration settings with a
single setting, settings.EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_DAYS.
The only setting it removes is settings.EMAIL_CHANGE_CONFIRMATION_DAYS,
which was introduced in 5bf83f9 and never advertised in prod_settings.py.
Wasn't being used outside the file, the URL is specific to
ConfirmationManager, and it makes
EmailChangeConfirmationManager.get_activation_url more obviously parallel
to ConfirmationManager.get_activation_url.
