This causes changing the email_address_visibility field to actually
modify what user_profile.email values are generated for users, both on
user creation and afterwards as email addresses are edited.
The overall feature isn't yet complete, but this brings us pretty close.
This completes the last commit's work to fix CVE-2017-0910, applying
to any invite links already created before the fix was deployed. With
this change, all new-user registrations must match an explicit realm
in the PreregistrationUser row, except when creating a new realm.
[greg: rewrote commit message]
Seems like the more logical check. Also, the previous code makes it feel
like there is a potential vulnerability where one could get an email change
object in a realm where email changes are disabled, and then open that link
while logged in to a different realm.
While we're at it, remove the unnecessary check that the user is
logged in when clicking the confirmation link; that creates
unnecessary trouble for users who use multiple browsers.
We apparently were not correctly clearing the user_profile's email
address from caches when changing email addresses, which meant that
trying to look up the old email in the user_profile caches would still
work.
Fixes#6035.
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 fixes most cases where we were assigning a user to
the var email and then calling get_user_profile_by_email with
that var.
(This was fixed mostly with a script.)
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
zerver/lib/actions: removed do_set_realm_* functions and added
do_set_realm_property, which takes in a realm object and the name and
value of an attribute to update on that realm.
zerver/tests/test_events.py: refactored realm tests with
do_set_realm_property.
Kept the do_set_realm_authentication_methods and
do_set_realm_message_editing functions because their function
signatures are different.
Addresses part of issue #3854.
Changing assert_in_success_response to require List[Text] instead of
Iterable[Text] prevents the following misuse:
self.assert_in_response_success("message", response)
Currently, this will check whether 'm', 'e', 's', 'a', and 'g' separately
appear in the response, which is probably not the intended behavior. The
correct usage is as follows:
self.assert_in_response_success(["message"], response)
This adds to Zulip support for a user changing their own email
address.
It's backed by a huge amount of work by Steve Howell on making email
changes actually work from a UI perspective.
Fixes#734.
