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.
I believe this completes the project of ensuring that our recent work
on limiting what characters can appears in users' full names covers
the entire codebase.
In case realms have subdomains and the user hasn't been populated
yet in the Django User model, `ZulipLDAPAuthBackend` should not
rely on user's email domain to determine in which realm it should
be created in.
Fixes: #2227.
This makes it possible to configure only certain authentication
methods to be enabled on a per-realm basis.
Note that the authentication_methods_dict function (which checks what
backends are supported on the realm) requires an in function import
due to a circular dependency.
The actual logic is that if the user already exists than the
function should return a False and if the user does not exist
the function should first create the user and return True.
This improves Google and JWT auth as well as the registration
codepath to log something if the wrong subdomain is encountered.
Ideally, we'd have tests for these, and code to make the Google and JWT
auth cases show a clear error message.
This adds support for running a Zulip production server with each
realm on its own unique subdomain, e.g. https://realm_name.example.com.
This patch includes a ton of important features:
* Configuring the Zulip sesion middleware to issue cookier correctly
for the subdomains case.
* Throwing an error if the user tries to visit an invalid subdomain.
* Runs a portion of the Casper tests with REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS
enabled to test the subdomain signup process.
* Updating our integrations documentation to refer to the current subdomain.
* Enforces that users can only login to the subdomain of their realm
(but does not restrict the API; that will be tightened in a future commit).
Note that toggling settings.REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS on a live server is
not supported without manual intervention (the main problem will be
adding "subdomain" values for all the existing realms).
[substantially modified by tabbott as part of merging]
The recent changes to api_fetch_api_key to receive detailed data via
the "return_data" object did not properly update the LDAP backend to
accept that argument, causing mobile password authentication to not
work with the LDAP backend.
Previously, api_fetch_api_key would not give clear error messages if
password auth was disabled or the user's realm had been deactivated;
additionally, the account disabled error stopped triggering when we
moved the active account check into the auth decorators.
The security model for deactivated users (and users in deactivated
realms) being unable to access the service is intended to work via two
mechanisms:
* All active user sessions are deleted, and all login code paths
(where a user could get a new session) check whether the user (or
realm) is inactive before authorizing the request, preventing the
user from accessing the website and AJAX endpoints.
* All API code paths (which don't require a session) check whether the
user (and realm) are active.
However, this security model was not implemented correctly. In
particular, the check for whether a user has an active account in the
login process was done inside the login form's validators, which meant
that authentication mechanisms that did not use the login form
(e.g. Google and REMOTE_USER auth) could succeed in granting a session
even with an inactive account. The Zulip homepage would still fail to
load because the code for / includes an API call to Tornado authorized
by the user's token that would fail, but this mechanism could allow an
inactive user to access realm data or users to access data in a
deactivated realm.
This fixes the issue by adding explicit checks for inactive users and
inactive realms in all authentication backends (even those that were
already protected by the login form validator).
Mirror dummy users are already inactive, so we can remove the explicit
code around mirror dummy users.
The following commits add a complete set of tests for Zulip's inactive
user and realm security model.
Previously these users' names were being set to 1-element lists
containing the name, not the names themselves. This bug caused
existing users to have their people module state (e.g. @-mentions,
etc.) to break whenever a new user joined.
Fixes#222.
This addresses a few issues:
* The LDAP authentication integration now creates an account a new
Zulip account if the user authenticated correctly but didn't have a
Zulip account.
* The previous code didn't correctly disable the LDAP group
permissions functionality. We're not using groups support from the
Django LDAP extension and not doing so can cause errors trying to
fetch data from LDAP.
Huge thanks to @toaomatis for the initial implementation of this.
Fixes#72.
If you're using e.g. our Jabber<=>Zulip mirroring capability along
with the RemoteUser SSO integration, previously it would fail if a
user with a corresponding dummy user tried to login/signup (since they
didn't have an account but one wouldn't be created because
ZulipRemoteUserBackend was reporting that an account already existed).
