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
for accessing all the emails that are sent in dev environment.
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.
