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.
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.
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.
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.
Fixes#9401.
This adds a FAKE_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting, which should be used if
EXTERNAL_HOST is not a valid domain, and something else is needed to
form bot and dummy user emails (if email visibility is turned off).
It defaults to EXTERNAL_HOST.
get_fake_email_domain() should be used to get this value. It validates
that it's correctly set - that it can be used to form valid emails.
If it's not set correctly, an exception is raised. This is the right
approach, because it's undesirable to have the server seemingly
peacefully operating with that setting misconfigured, as that could
mask some hidden sneaky bugs due to UserProfiles with invalid emails,
which would blow up the moment some code that does validate the emails
is called.
We were incorrectly setting LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR to the empty string in
this code path, which would result in upload files being logged to the
root directory of the repository.
Fixes#12909.
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.
We create a path structure in the from:
`/var/<uuid>/test-backend/run_1234567/worker_N/`
A settings attribute, `TEST_WORKER_DIR`, was created as a worker's
directory for a given `test-backend` run's file storage. The
appropirate path is created in `setup_test_environment`, while each
workers subdirectory is created within `init_worker`.
This allows a test class to write to `settings.TEST_WORKER_DIR`,
populating the appropirate directory of a given worker. Also
providing the long-term approach to clean up filesystem access
in the backend unit tests.
This endpoint serves requests which might originate from an image
preview link which had an http url and the message holding the image
link was rendered before we introduced thumbnailing. In that case
we would have used a camo proxy to proxy http content over https and
avoid mix content warnings.
In near future, we plan to drop use of camo and just rely on thumbor
to serve such images. This endpoint helps maintain backward
compatibility for links which were already rendered.
This setting splits away part of responsibility from THUMBOR_URL.
Now on, this setting will be responsible for controlling whether
we thumbnail images or not by asking bugdown to render image links
to hit our /thumbnail endpoint. This is irrespective of what
THUMBOR_URL is set to though ideally THUMBOR_URL should be set
to point to a running thumbor instance.
This is a preparatory commit which will help us with removing camo.
In the upcoming commits we introduce a new endpoint which is based
out on the setting CAMO_URI. Since camo could have been hosted on
a different server as well from the main Zulip server, this change
will help us realise in tests how that scenerio might be dealt with.
We already had a setting for whether these logs were enabled; now it
also controls which stream the messages go to.
As part of this migration, we disable the feature in dev/production by
default; it's not useful for most environments.
Fixes the proximal data-export issue reported in #10078 (namely, a
stream with nobody ever subscribed to having been created).
Input pills require a contenteditable div with a class named input
to fall inside the pill container. On converting the input tag into
a div, the size of the input decreases which is compensated by a
line-height of 40px. Comment above letter-spacing:normal was removed
as chrome and firefox do not change the letter-spacing to normal
for a div via the default browser stylesheet.
NOTE: Currently writing something into the div will call the action
corresponding to that key in the keyboard shortcuts. The input will
work fine once the pills have been initiated.
For the casper tests, for now, we just use the legacy search code.
When we change that, $.val() cannot be used on contenteditable div, so
$.html() will need to be used instead in select_item_via_typeahead.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:
* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).
* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic
* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).
* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
`src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.
There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.
This adds a new settings, SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN, which specifies which
domain should be used for GitHub auth and other python-social-auth
backends.
If one is running a single-realm Zulip server like chat.zulip.org, one
doesn't need to use this setting, but for multi-realm servers using
social auth, this fixes an annoying bug where the session cookie that
python-social-auth sets early in the auth process on the root domain
ends up masking the session cookie that would have been used to
determine a user is logged in. The end result was that logging in
with GitHub on one domain on a multi-realm server like zulipchat.com
would appear to log you out from all the others!
We fix this by moving python-social-auth to a separate subdomain.
Fixes: #9847.
In this commit we are fixing a kinda serious un-noticed bug with
the way run_db_migrations worked for test db.
Basically run_db_migrations runs new migrations on db (dev or test).
When we talk about the dev platform this process is straight forward.
We have a single DB zulip which was once created and now has some data.
Introduction of new migration causes a schema change or does something
else but bottom line being we just migrate the zulip DB and stuff works
fine.
Now coming to zulip test db (zulip_test) situation is a bit complex
in comparision to dev db. Basically this is because we make use of
what we call zulip_test_template to make test fixture restoration
after tests run fast. Now before we introduced the performance
optimisation of just doing migrations when possible, introduction of
a migration would ideally result in provisioning do a full rebuild of
the test database. When that used to happen sequence of events used to
be something like this:
* Create a zulip_test db from zulip_test_base template (An absolute
basic schema holding)
* Migrate and populate the zulip_test db.
* Create/Re-create zulip_test_template from the latest zulip_test.
Now after we introduced just do migrations instead of full db rebuild
when possible, what used to happen was that zulip_test db got
successfully migrated but when test suites would run they would try to
create zulip_test from zulip_test_template (so that individual tests
don't affect each other on db level).
This is where the problem resides; zulip_test_template wasn't migrated
and we just scrapped zulip_test and re-created it using
zulip_test_template as a template and hence zulip_test will not hold the
latest schema.
This is what we fix in this commit.
Slow queries during backend tests sends messages to Error Bot
which affects the database state causing the tests to fail.
This fixes the occasional flakes due to that.
This line was added in e8ab7cd1a as a desperate measure to get the
`set_loglevel` helper to successfully suppress the `zulip.send_email`
logs.
In fact, the reason that just setting `level` there wasn't doing the
job had nothing to do with `propagate`, which doesn't interact with
`level`. (See the long block comment in `zproject/settings.py`,
searching for "Python logging module", for my attempt at concisely
explaining these semantics.) Rather, our setting for `level` was
getting clobbered by the use of `create_logger`; and setting
`propagate` to False worked by completely suppressing all logs to
`zulip.send_email` and descendants from reaching the normal handlers,
regardless of the log messages' levels.
Now that the `create_logger` issue is fixed (see a few commits before
this one), drop that.
Our set_loglevel tool didn't set propagate to False, so just using it
directly wouldn't work unless the logger is explcitly declared in
zproject/settings.py, which this one isn't.
This should make it a little easier to understand our logging config
and make changes to it with confidence.
Many of these items that are now redundant used to be required when we
were setting disable_existing_loggers to True (before 500d81bf2), in
order to exempt those loggers from being cleared out. Now they're not.
One bit of test code needed a tweak to how it got its hands on the
AdminZulipHandler instance; it can do it from the list on the root
logger just as well as on the `django` logger.
This is necessary for tests the to pass with the new config_error code
path, which we don't want to trigger except on specific tests for
those features.
