This system hasn't been in active use for several years, and had some
problems with it's design. So it makes sense to just remove it to declutter
the codebase.
Fixes#5655.
No change in behavior.
Also makes the first step towards converting all uses of
settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR and settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS to
FromAddress.*.
Once everything is converted, it will be easier to ensure that future
development doesn't break backwards compatibility with the old style of
settings emails.
This will allow for customized senders for emails, e.g. 'Zulip Digest' for
digest emails and 'Zulip Missed Messages' for missed message emails.
Also:
* Converts the sender name to always be "Zulip", if the from_email used to
be settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS or settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR.
* Changes the default value of settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
prod_setting_template to no longer have a display name. The only use of
that display name was in the email pathway.
Once we implement org_type-specific features, it'll be easy to change a
corporate realm to a community realm, but hard to go the other way. The main
difference (the main thing that makes migrating from a community realm to a
corporate realm hard) is that you'd have to make everyone sign another terms
of service.
Previously, the only required field in RegistrationForm was the full
name (and possibly ToS, depending on settings). This meant that if
LDAP was configured, realm creation would break, because the form
would be valid the first time one landed on it, before the user even
filled it out!
The correct fix is to make the extra fields required in
RegistrationForm in the event that we're doing realm creation.
It's possible that a cleaner fix would be to use a subclass.
With a test from Umair Waheed Khan.
Fixes#5387.
Server settings should just be added to the context in build_email, so that
the individual email pathways (and later, the email testing framework)
doesn't have to worry about it.
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 is CVE-2017-0896.
Apparently, this setting never actually was wired up to anything other
than hiding the UI widget.
Huge thanks to Ibram Marzouk from the HackerOne community for finding
this security bug.
We now pre-populate the streams in DEFAULT_NEW_REALM_STREAMS
(social/general/zulip, unless somebody changes settings.py) with
welcome messages. This makes the streams appear to be active
right away, and it also gives the Zulip realm less of a
blank-slate feeling when you create it.
This change only affects the normal web-based create-realm flow.
It doesn't impact the management commands for creating realms
or setting default streams.
These handlers will kick into action when is_signup is False. In case
the account exists, the user will be logged in, otherwise, user will
be asked if they want to proceed to registration.
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
This commit is a step towards the goal of replacing most of the
send_future_email pathway with a call to send_email.
Note that this commit changes the default value of sender from "Zulip
<NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS>" to "NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS". NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS
will soon be changed to have the Zulip in front.
Note that the correctness of this commit relies on the fact that
send_future_email also sets the sender to settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS by
default (in the body of the function).
Fixes regression introduced in 326f9a85. The test indirectly makes a call to
email_is_not_mit_mailing_list, which then calls
DNS.dnslookup("%s.pobox.ns.athena.mit.edu" % username, DNS.Type.TXT).
If a user is trying to register for a mit zephyr mirroring realm, we send
them a specific registration email with a link to a few more instructions.
There is only one server that we know about that has such a realm, and that
server uses subdomains. This commit changes the logic to work in the
subdomains case, rather than in the non-subdomains case (though see next
para).
Note that the current check is deceptive, and is not actually correct in the
non-subdomains case. The prereg user has a realm only in the atypical case
of someone registering via the special URL for completely-open realms.
To do this correctly in the non-subdomains case, we would need to copy a
bunch of the logic from the beginning of accounts_register to figure out
which realm the user is signing up for, so that we can check if that realm
is a zephyr mirroring realm. Given how complicated the registration code is
already, I think it is probably not worth it at the moment. This commit also
removes the partial (deceptive) check, since I think it does more harm than
good.
We'll need to implement a version of the simple decoding/decryption
logic used by this library in the mobile code as well, but that should
be simple enough.
