This was part of the logic to handle EXTERNAL_API_PATH varying.
But also it was already no longer used -- it was only ever passed
into template contexts, as `external_api_uri`, and it'd been
overtaken there by `external_api_uri_subdomain`.
So, update our dev docs to reflect that, and eliminate the variable.
This setting isn't documented at all, and I believe nobody has used it
since the end of api.zulip.com in 2016. So we get to complete the
cleanup of this logic.
These are just instances that jumped out at me while working on the
subdomains code, mostly while grepping for get_subdomain call sites.
I haven't attempted a comprehensive search, and there are likely
still others left.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful. For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood. Switch to those.
I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses. And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft". So, "guesses" it is.
And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting. So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.
(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
commit are based on.)
Make it less likely that further development will break compatibility with
ZULIP_ADMINISTRATORs of the form "name <email>".
Note that the suggested value for this setting has been
'zulip-admin@example.com' for a while, so hopefully this commit causes no
change for most installations.
Now that this page redirects to upstream, make our own links
to it point directly upstream. This saves a redirect, and
makes it more transparent where the link points if the user
examines it before following.
Previously, we were incorrectly using the get_unique_open_realm
function to determine whether we're in the (common) single-realm
server case and should just display an org-info-enabled login form on
the homepage.
Now, we use a slightly different function extracted from
get_unique_open_realm that doesn't check whether the realm is
invite-only.
Fixes#4841.
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.
If `render()` is called from middleware that runs before the
authentication middleware, then this code path will be called with a
request object where request.user is not yet set. Handle this by
providing a reasonable error message.
This adds some configuration options to settings.py, namely
PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH and PASSWORD_MIN_QUALITY, which control
when the frontend validator invalidates the password.
Closes#2628
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
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.
This adds a few new helpful context variables that we can use to
compute URLs in all of our templates:
* external_uri_scheme: http(s)://
* server_uri: The base URL for the server's canonical name
* realm_uri: The base URL for the user's realm
This is preparatory work for making realm_uri != server_uri when we
add support for subdomains.
