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.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
In theory these should be the same, but in misconfigured environments
(such at Travis CI) where /etc/hosts has multiple entries for
"localhost", 127.0.0.1 is safer than "localhost".
Camo is a caching image proxy, used in Zulip to avoid mixed-content
warnings by proxying HTTP image content over HTTPS. We've been using
it in zulip.com production for years; this change makes it available
in standalone Zulip deployments.
Previously, if a user had only authenticated via Google auth, they
would be unable to reset their password in order to set one (which is
needed to setup the mobile apps, for example).
In theory, tools like populate_db should probably be in zerver, not
zilencer, but until we migrate them out, we need to include these in
EXTRA_INSTALLED_APPS in development.
The previous separated-out configuration wasn't helping us, and this
makes it easier to make the extra installed applications pluggable in
the following commits.
This will merge conflict with every new integraiton in flight, which
is unfortunate, but will make there be fewer merge conflicts as people
add new webhooks in the future (currently, every pair of new
integrations conflict because folks are adding them all at the end,
whereas after this change, there will only be merge conflicts when
adding two integrations near each other alphabetically).
This integration relies on the Teamcity "tcWebHooks" plugin which is
available at
https://netwolfuk.wordpress.com/category/teamcity/tcplugins/tcwebhooks/
It posts build fail and success notifications to a stream specified in
the webhook URL.
It uses the name of the build configuration as the topic.
For personal builds, it tries to map the Teamcity username to a Zulip
username, and sends a private message to that person.
As documented in https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/441, Guardian
has quite poor performance, and in fact almost 50% of the time spent
running the Zulip backend test suite on my laptop was inside Guardian.
As part of this migration, we also clean up the old API_SUPER_USERS
variable used to mark EMAIL_GATEWAY_BOT as an API super user; now that
permission is managed entirely via the database.
When rebasing past this commit, developers will need to do a
`manage.py migrate` in order to apply the migration changes before the
server will run again.
We can't yet remove Guardian from INSTALLED_APPS, requirements.txt,
etc. in this release, because otherwise the reverse migration won't
work.
Fixes#441.

While we already don't link to /terms anywhere on the site, they can still be
accessed if you navigate to /terms directly. Now, those routes will only be
exported on the Zulip.com service.
We should ideally provide a mechanism for deployments to specify their own
terms without modifying source code; in the interim, sites that have already
customised the provided Zulip.com terms can simply carry a patch reverting this
commit.
Previously these were hardcoded in zproject/settings.py to be accessed
on localhost.

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.
Ideally some of these templates should really point to the
local installation's support email address, but this is a
good start.
Exceptions:
* Where to report security incidents
* MIT Zephyr-related pages
* zulip.com terms and conditions
This is in some ways a regression, but because we don't have
python-postmonkey packaged right now, this is required to make the
Zulip production installation process work on Trusty.

Before we deploy this commit, we must migrate the data from the staging redis
server to the new, dedicated redis server. The steps for doing so are the
following:
* Remove the zulip::redis puppet class from staging's zulip.conf
* ssh once from staging to redis-staging.zulip.net so that the host key is known
* Create a tunnel from redis0.zulip.net to staging.zulip.net
* zulip@redis0:~$ ssh -N -L 127.0.0.1:6380:127.0.0.1:6379 -o ServerAliveInterval=30 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 staging.zulip.net
* Set the redis instance on redis0.zulip.net to replicate the one on staging.zulip.net
* redis 127.0.0.1:6379> slaveof 127.0.0.1 6380
* Stop the app on staging
* Stop redis-server on staging
* Promote the redis server on redis0.zulip.net to a master
* redis 127.0.0.1:6379> slaveof no one
* Do a puppet apply at this commit on staging (this will bring up the tunnel to redis0)
* Deploy this commit to staging (start the app on staging)
* Kill the tunnel from redis0.zulip.net to staging.zulip.net
* Uninstall redis-server on staging
The steps for migrating prod will be the same modulo s/staging/prod0/.

This is used by the Android app to authenticate without prompting for a
password.
To do so, we implement a custom authentication backend that validates
the ID token provided by Google and then tries to see if we have a
corresponding UserProfile on file for them.
If the attestation is valid but the user is unregistered, we return that
fact by modifying a dictionary passed in as a parameter. We then return
the appropriate error message via the API.
