The main change here is to send a proper confirmation link to the
frontend in the `confirm_continue_registration` code path even if the
user didn't request signup, so that we don't need to re-authenticate
the user's control over their email address in that flow.
This also lets us delete some now-unnecessary code: The
`invalid_email` case is now handled by HomepageForm.is_valid(), which
has nice error handling, so we no longer need logic in the context
computation or template for `confirm_continue_registration` for the
corner case where the user somehow has an invalid email address
authenticated.
We split one GitHub auth backend test to now cover both corner cases
(invalid email for realm, and valid email for realm), and rewrite the
Google auth test for this code path as well.
Fixes#5895.
By moving all of the logic related to the is_signup flag into
maybe_send_to_registration, we make the login_or_register_remote_user
function quite clean and readable.
The next step is to make maybe_send_to_registration less of a
disaster.
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 code path has actually been dead for a while (since
`invalid_subdomain` gets set to True only when `user_profile` is
`None`). We might want to re-introduce it later, but for now, we
eliminate it and the artificial test that provided it with test
coverage.
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.
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.
[greg: renamed function to match, squashed renames with data change,
and adjusted commit message.]
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.
