We want to avoid logging this kind of potentially sensitive information.
Instead, it's more useful to log ids of the matching accounts on
different subdomains.
Having wantMessagesSigned=True globally means that it's also applied by
python3-saml to regular authentication SAMLResponses - making it require
the response to be signed, which is an issue because a feasible
alternative way that some IdPs (e.g. AzureAD) take by default is to sign
specifically the assertions in the SAMLResponse. This is also secure,
and thus we generally want to accept it.
Without this, the setting of wantMessagesSigned=True globally
in 4105ccdb17 causes a
regression for deployments that have already set up SAML with providers
such as AzureAD, making Zulip stop accepting the SAMLResponses.
Testing that this new logic works is handled by
test_saml_idp_initiated_logout_invalid_signature, which verifies that a
LogoutRequest without signature will be rejected.
Using these tuples is clearly uglier than using classes for storing
these encoded stream. This can be built on further to implement the
various fiddly logic around handling these objects inside appropriate
class method.
None of the existing custom profile field types have the value as an
integer like declared in many places - nor is it a string like currently
decalred in types.py. The correct type is Union[str, List[int]]. Rather
than tracking this in so many places throughout the codebase, we add a
new ProfileDataElementValue type and insert it where appropriate.
Fixes#17456.
The main tricky part has to do with what values the attribute should
have. LDAP defines a Boolean as
Boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE"
so ideally we'd always see exactly those values. However,
although the issue is now marked as resolved, the discussion in
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/1259 shows how this may not always be
respected - meaning it makes sense for us to be more liberal in
interpreting these values.
The previous commit introduced logging of attempts for username+password
backends. For completeness, we should log, in the same format,
successful attempts via social auth backends.
These details are useful to log. This only makes sense for some auth
backends, namely email and ldap backends, because other backends are
"external" in the sense that they happen at some external provider's
server (Google, SAML IdP etc.) so the failure also happens there and we
don't get useful information about what happened.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
Till now, we've been forking django-auth-ldap at
https://github.com/zulip/django-auth-ldap to put the
LDAPReverseEmailSearch feature in it, hoping to get it merged
upstream in https://github.com/django-auth-ldap/django-auth-ldap/pull/150
The efforts to get it merged have stalled for now however and we don't
want to be on the fork forever, so this commit puts the email search
feature as a clumsy workaround inside our codebase and switches to using
the latest upstream release instead of the fork.
This fixes error found with django-stubs and it is a part of #18777.
Note that there are various remaining errors that need to be fixed in
upstream or elsewhere in our codebase.
The code didn't account for existence of SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN. So the
redirects would happen to endpoints on the SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN, which
is incorrect. The redirects should happen to the realm from which the
user came.
There might be good reasons to have other external authentication
methods such as SAML configured, but none of them is available.
This happens, for example, when you have enabled SAML so that Zulip is
able to generate the metadata in XML format, but you haven't
configured an IdP yet. This commit makes sure that the phrase _OR_ is
only shown on the login/account page when there are actually other
authentication methods available. When they are just configured, but
not available yet, the page looks like as if no external
authentication methods are be configured.
We achieve this by deleting any_social_backend_enabled, which was very
similar to page_params.external_authentication_methods, which
correctly has one entry per configured SAML IdP.
This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
We will no longer use the HttpRequest to store the rate limit data.
Using ZulipRequestNotes, we can access rate_limit and ratelimits_applied
with type hints support. We also save the process of initializing
ratelimits_applied by giving it a default value.
Fixes#17277.
The main limitation of this implementation is that the sync happens if
the user authing already exists. This means that a new user going
through the sign up flow will not have their custom fields synced upon
finishing it. The fields will get synced on their consecutive log in via
SAML in the future. This can be addressed in the future by moving the
syncing code further down the codepaths to login_or_register_remote_user
and plumbing the data through to the user creation process.
We detail that limitation in the documentation.
This will be useful for deployments that want to just use the full name
provided by the IdP and thus skip the registration form. Also in
combination with disabling name changes in the organization, can force
users to just use that name without being able to change it.
Raising jsonableError in the authentication form was non-ideal because
it took the user to an ugly page with the returned json.
We also add logging of this rare occurence of the scenario being
handled here.
user_profile.check_password(password) in authenticate of
EmailAuthBackend can raise PasswordTooWeakError; this happens when the
user's password is weaker than the current required policies and needs
to be rehashed (E.g. because, as in Django 3.2, the minimum salt
entropy increased).
This is a very rare case, but still needs a good user-facing error
message. We raise a json error to handle this with a user-facing error
message.
See this comment by Mateusz Mandera for a detailed explanation
about this case along with a traceback it generates.
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/15449#discussion_r448308614
The authenticate function of EmailAuthBackend had request param
type set Optional[HttpRequest] had `None` as default. This
function is never called without a request. So this changes it to
require an HttpRequest parameter.
It was made `Optional` in bc062e1c4d,
because this parameter was new in Django at the time.
We're safe to make it a required argument as everything worked well
before that recent commit and Mateusz Mandera and I checked if it gets
`None` anywhere and found only authenticate of non EmailAuthBackend
gets `None` in some places like `dev_direct_login`.
All the places in tests where this function got `None` as request
were fixed in previous commit.
