After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
In particular the Services ID and Bundle ID each have one of Apple's
random-looking 10-character identifiers, in addition to the Java-style
names the admin chooses. Best to be clear about what names are
supposed to be the chosen names and which are supposed to be the
random-looking assigned names.
(I don't know of any docs elsewhere making this clear -- but I guessed
it'd be this way, and empirically it works.)
Also mention you need to enable the backend. :-)
I believe the Bundle ID (aka App ID) and Services ID have meaning only
relative to a specific Team ID. In particular, in some places in the
developer.apple.com UI, they're displayed in a fully-qualified form
like "ABCDE12345.com.example.app", where "com.example.app" is the
App ID or Services ID and ABCDE12345 is the Team ID.
Adds the ability to set a SAML attribute which contains a
list of subdomains the user is allowed to access. This allows a Zulip
server with multiple organizations to filter using SAML attributes
which organization each user can access.
Cleaned up and adapted by Mateusz Mandera to fit our conventions and
needs more.

This implementation overrides some of PSA's internal backend
functions to handle `state` value with redis as the standard
way doesn't work because of apple sending required details
in the form of POST request.
Includes a mixin test class that'll be useful for testing
Native auth flow.
Thanks to Mateusz Mandera for the idea of using redis and
other important work on this.

We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
This addresses confusion we had with some organizations where they
were surprised that with only LDAP enabled, the "invite more users"
feature was available.
Fixes#11685.
This moves the mandatory configuration for options A/B/C into a single
bulleted list for each option, rather than split across two steps; I
think the result is significantly more readable.
It also fixes a bug where we suggested setting
AUTH_LDAP_REVERSE_EMAIL_SEARCH = AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH in some cases,
whereas in fact it will never work because the parameters are
`%(email)s`, not `%(user)s`.
Also, now that one needs to set AUTH_LDAP_REVERSE_EMAIL_SEARCH, it
seems worth adding values for that to the Active Directory
instructions. Thanks to @alfonsrv for the suggestion.
- Moves "Authentication in the development environment" from subsystems
to "development/authentication.md".
- Moves "Renumbering migrations" to a section within "Schema migrations".
Fixes#9576.
Initial realm creation now works fine with the LDAP backend, so the
part of the docs about needing to create the first realm with the
email backend is unnecessary and just complicates the setup process,
so it seems best to just remove it.
This fixes a collection of bugs surrounding LDAP configurations A and
C (i.e. LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN=None) with EmailAuthBackend also enabled.
The core problem was that our desired security model in that setting
of requiring LDAP authentication for accounts managed by LDAP was not
implementable without a way to
Now admins can configure an LDAPSearch query that will find if there
are users in LDAP that have the email address and
email_belongs_to_ldap() will take advantage of that - no longer
returning True in response to all requests and thus blocking email
backend authentication.
In the documentation, we describe this as mandatory configuration for
users (and likely will make it so soon in the code) because the
failure modes for this not being configured are confusing.
But making that change is pending work to improve the relevant error
messages.
Fixes#11715.
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.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
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.
The `AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER` is `True` by default, and this would sync the
attributes defined in the `AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP` to the user profile. But,
the default code in `django-auth-ldap` would work correctly only for `full_name`
field. This commit disables the setting by default, in favour of using the
`sync_ldap_user_data` script as a cron job.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
This should make life a lot more convenient for organizations that use
the LDAP integration and have their avatars in LDAP already.
This hasn't been end-to-end tested against LDAP yet, so there may be
some minor revisions, but fundamentally, it works, has automated
tests, and should be easy to maintain.
Fixes#286.
In particular, this improves:
* The explanation of how data is mapped into Zulip
* The explanation of what is printed out by `manage.py query_ldap`
* Makes sure users create their first account with EmailAuthBackend.
The term "username" confusingly refers both to the Django concept of
"username" (meaning "the name the user types into the login form") and
a concept the admin presumably already has in their existing
environment; which may or may not be the same thing, and in fact this
is where we document the admin's choice of whether and how they should
correspond. The Django concept in particular isn't obvious, and is
counterintuitive when it means something like an email address.
Explicitly explain the Django "username" concept, under the name of
"Zulip username" to take responsibility for our choice of how it's
exposed in the settings interface. Then use an explicit qualifier,
like "LDAP username", whenever referring to some other notion of
username. And make a pass over this whole side of the instructions,
in particular for consistent handling of these concepts.
Expand on a few things that tend to confuse people (especially the
`%(user)s` thing); move the `LDAPSearchUnion` example out to docs;
adjust the instructions to fit a bit better in their new docs/ home.
