This is a mobile-specific endpoint used for logging into a dev server.
On mobile without this realm_uri it's impossible to send a login request
to the corresponding realm on the dev server and proceed further; we can
only guess, which doesn't work for using multiple realms.
Also rename the endpoint to reflect the additional data.
Testing Plan:
Sent a request to the endpoint, and inspected the result.

It's possible that this won't work with some versions of the
third-party backend, but tabbott has tested carefully that it does
work correctly with the Apache basic auth backend in our test
environment.
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).
Previously, we used to raise an exception if the direct dev login code
path was attempted when:
* we were running under production environment.
* dev. login was not enabled.
Now we redirect to an error page and give an explanatory message to the
user.
Fixes#8249.
When the answer is False, this will allow the mobile app to show a
warning that push notifications will not work and the server admin
should set them up.
Based partly on Kunal's PR #7810. Provides the necessary backend API
for zulip/zulip-mobile#1507.
For example, this means that if a user already has an account on one
realm and they try to make an account on another by hitting "Sign in
with Google" (rather than following the little "Register" link to a
"Sign up with Google" button instead), they'll get to make an account
instead of getting an error.
Until very recently, if the user existed on another realm, any attempt
to register with that email address had to fail in the end, so this
logic gave the user a useful error message early. We introduced it in
c23aaa178 "GitHub: Show error on login page for wrong subdomain"
back in 2016-10 for that purpose. No longer! We now support reusing
an email on multiple realms, so we let the user proceed instead.
This function's interface is kind of confusing, but I believe when its
callers use it properly, `invalid_subdomain` should only ever be true
when `user_profile` is None -- in which case the revised
`invalid_subdomain` condition in this commit can never actually fire,
and the `invalid_subdomain` parameter no longer has any effect. (At
least some unit tests call this function improperly in that respect.)
I've kept this commit to a minimal change, but it would be a good
followup to go through the call sites, verify that, eliminate the use
of `invalid_subdomain`, then remove it from the function entirely.
We would allow a user with a valid invitation for one realm to use it
on a different realm instead. On a server with multiple realms, an
authorized user of one realm could use this (by sending invites to
other email addresses they control) to create accounts on other
realms. (CVE-2017-0910)
With this commit, when sending an invitation, we record the inviting
user's realm on the PreregistrationUser row; and when registering a
user, we check that the PregistrationUser realm matches the realm the
user is trying to register on. This resolves CVE-2017-0910 for
newly-sent invitations; the next commit completes the fix.
[greg: rewrote commit message]
This gets used when we call `process_client`, which we generally do at
some kind of login; and in particular, we do in the shared auth
codepath `login_or_register_remote_user`. Add a decorator to make it
easy, and use it on the various views that wind up there.
In particular, this ensures that the `query` is some reasonable
constant corresponding to the view, as intended. When not set, we
fall back in `update_user_activity` on the URL path, but in particular
for `log_into_subdomain` that can now contain a bunch of
request-specific data, which makes it (a) not aggregate properly, and
(b) not even fit in the `CHARACTER VARYING(50)` database field we've
allotted it.
The cookie mechanism only works when passing the login token to a
subdomain. URLs work across domains, which is why they're the
standard transport for SSO on the web. Switch to URLs.
Tweaked by tabbott to add a test for an expired token.
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.
These are just instances that jumped out at me while working on the
subdomains code, mostly while grepping for get_subdomain call sites.
I haven't attempted a comprehensive search, and there are likely
still others left.
If an organization doesn't have the EmailAuthBackend (which allows
password auth) enabled, then our password reset form doesn't do
anything, so we should hide it in the UI.
Since the REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS migration in development, we've had
scattered reports of users who found trying to open 127.0.0.1:9991
resulting in a redirect loop between zulipdev.com:9991,
zulipdev.com:9991/devlogin, and zulipdev.com:9991/devlogin/, and back
to zulipdev.com:9991.
We fix this temporarily through a small cleanup, which is to have that
last step in the loop send the user to the subdomain where they're
actually logged in, zulip.zulipdev.com:9991.
There's more to be done before this system will make sense, though.
