Realm object is not json-serializable; store the realm id instead
and retrieve the realm in social_auth_finish using
`Realm.objects.get(id=return_data["realm_id"])`.
The email_list returned has the primary email as the first element.
Testing: The order of the emails in the test was changed to put a
verified email before the primary one. The tests would fail without
this commit's change after the changes in the order of test emails.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/10856 for details on the bug
here; but basically, users who reset their password were unable to
login until the next time we flushed memcached. The issue disappeared
after stopping using the Django cached_db session engine, so it's
pretty clear that some sort of bug with that session engine
interacting with our password reset logic is the root cause.
Further debugging is required to understand this fully, but for now,
it seems wise to just disable the backend.
The cost of doing so is a small performance decrease, which is likely
acceptable until we can resolve this (it's certainly a more minor
problem than the "Can't login" bug that disabling this removes).
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.
These lazy imports save a significant amount of time on Zulip's core
import process, because mock imports pbr, which in turn import
pkgresources, which is in turn incredibly slow to import.
Fixes part of #9953.
This is a performance optimization; see the comment. This fixes part
of #9953.
Eventually, we should do the same thing for importing Tornado as well,
but it's less important because Tornado is a much smaller library.
Before, presence information for an entire realm could only be queried via
the `POST /api/v1/users/me/presence` endpoint. However, this endpoint also
updates the presence information for the user making the request. Therefore,
bot users are not allowed to access this endpoint because they don't have
any presence data.
This commit adds a new endpoint `GET /api/v1/realm/presence` that just
returns the presence information for the realm of the caller.
Fixes#10651.
Some admins setting up Zulip's LDAP auth against Active Directory see
a rather baffling error message: "In order to perform this operation a
successful bind must be completed on the connection". This happens
despite AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN and auth_ldap_bind_password being set
perfectly correctly, and on a query that the `ldapsearch` command-line
tool performs quite happily.
Empirically, adding a setting like this to /etc/zulip/settings.py
resolves the issue:
AUTH_LDAP_CONNECTION_OPTIONS = {
ldap.OPT_REFERRALS: 0
}
Some useful, concise background on the LDAP "referral" concept is here:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/ldap/referral/overview.html
and a pertinent bit of docs for the underlying Python `ldap` client:
https://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/faq.html
and some very helpful documentation for Active Directory:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/ad/referrals
Based on the docs above, the story appears to be something like this:
* This server has the information for part of the scope of our query
-- in particular it happens to have the information we actually want.
* But there are other areas ("subordinate domains") that our query is
in principle asking about, and this server doesn't know if there are
matches there, so it gives us a referral.
* And by default, python-ldap lets `libldap` run ahead and attempt to
bind to those referrals and do those queries too -- which raises an
error because, unlike Microsoft's "LDAP API", it doesn't reuse the
credentials.
So if we simply skip trying to follow the referrals, there's no
error... and we already have, from the original response, the answer
we actually need. That's what the `ldap.OPT_REFERRALS` option does.
There may be more complex situations where the referral really is
relevant, because the desired user info is split across servers. Even
then, unless an anonymous query will be acceptable, there's no point
in letting `libldap` follow the referral and setting this option is
still the right thing. When someone eventually comes to this bridge,
some code will be required to cross it, by following the referrals.
That code might look a bit like this (unfinished) example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/1209178
Manually tested by tabbott.
Fixes#343, which was effectively a report of the need for this
OPT_REFERRALS setting.
Fixes#349, since with this change, we no longer require tricky manual
configuration to get Active Directory up and running.
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.
This makes it easier to iterate on these, and to expand supplemental
information (like troubleshooting, or unusual configurations) without
further straining the already-dauntingly-long settings.py.
It also makes it easier to consult the instructions while editing the
secrets file, or testing things, etc. -- most admins will find it more
natural to keep a browser open somewhere than a second terminal.
Fixes part of #10297.
Use FAKE_LDAP_NUM_USERS which specifies the number of LDAP users
instead of FAKE_LDAP_EXTRA_USERS which specified the number of
extra users.
Also use name for selecting form in casper tests
as form with action=new is present in both /new
and /accounts/new/send_confirm/ which breaks
test in CircleCI as
waitWhileVisible('form[action^="/new/"]) never stops
waiting.
This uses the recently introduced active_mobile_push_notification
flag; messages that have had a mobile push notification sent will have
a removal push notification sent as soon as they are marked as read.
Note that this feature is behind a setting,
SEND_REMOVE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS, since the notification format is not
supported by the mobile apps yet, and we want to give a grace period
before we start sending notifications that appear as (null) to
clients. But the tracking logic to maintain the set of message IDs
with an active push notification runs unconditionally.
This is designed with at-least-once semantics; so mobile clients need
to handle the possibility that they receive duplicat requests to
remove a push notification.
We reuse the existing missedmessage_mobile_notifications queue
processor for the work, to avoid materially impacting the latency of
marking messages as read.
Fixes#7459, though we'll need to open a follow-up issue for
using these data on iOS.
This uses the MockLDAP class of fakeldap to fake a ldap server, based
on the approach already used in the tests in `test_auth_backends.py`.
Adds the following settings:
- FAKE_LDAP_MODE: Lets user choose out of three preset configurations.
The default mode if someone erases the entry in settings is 'a'. The
fake ldap server is disable if this option is set to None.
- FAKE_LDAP_EXTRA_USERS: Number of extra users in LDAP directory beyond
the default 8.
Fixes#9934.
Generates ldap_dir based on the mode and the no. of extra users.
It supports three modes, 'a', 'b' and 'c', description for which
can be found in prod_settings_templates.py.
That value is necessary to configure anonymous binds in
django-auth-ldap, which are useful when we're using LDAP just to
populate the user database.
Fixes#10257.
This lets us have a slightly cleaner interface for cases where we need
a custom default value than an `or None` in the definition (which
might cause issues with other falsey values).
