Dinesh 4afce5d94d apple_auth: Change BUNDLE_ID setting to APP_ID everywhere.
The apple developer webapp consistently refers this App ID. So,
this clears any confusion that can occur.

Since python social auth only requires us to include App ID in
_AUDIENCE(a list), we do that in computed settings making it easier for
server admin and we make it much clear by having it set to
APP_ID instead of BUNDLE_ID.

Alex Vandiver bfa809181a sentry: Allow reporting errors to sentry.io.
Use the default configuration, which catches Error logging and
exceptions.  This is placed in `computed_settings.py` to match the
suggested configuration from Sentry[1], which places it in `settings.py`
to ensure it is consistently loaded early enough.

It is placed behind a check for SENTRY_DSN soas to not incur the
additional overhead of importing the `sentry_sdk` modules if Sentry is
not configured.

Greg Price 0021dfe8e7 auth settings: Put Apple "Team ID" before the things it namespaces.
I believe the Bundle ID (aka App ID) and Services ID have meaning only
relative to a specific Team ID.  In particular, in some places in the
developer.apple.com UI, they're displayed in a fully-qualified form
like "ABCDE12345.com.example.app", where "com.example.app" is the
App ID or Services ID and ABCDE12345 is the Team ID.

Brainrecursion 30eaed0378 saml: Add option to restrict subdomain access based on SAML attributes.
Adds the ability to set a SAML attribute which contains a
list of subdomains the user is allowed to access. This allows a Zulip

which organization each user can access.

This reimplements our Zoom video call integration to use an OAuth
application.  In addition to providing a cleaner setup experience,

done the app registration already, it also fixes the limitation of the
previous integration that it could only have one call active at a time
when set up with typical Zoom API keys.

Tim Abbott dd969b5339 install: Remove references to "Zulip Voyager".
"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".

At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder.  This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase.  A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.

Mateusz Mandera fea4d0b2be ldap: Do a proper search for email in email_belongs_to_ldap.
This fixes a collection of bugs surrounding LDAP configurations A and
C (i.e. LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN=None) with EmailAuthBackend also enabled.

The core problem was that our desired security model in that setting
of requiring LDAP authentication for accounts managed by LDAP was not
implementable without a way to

Now admins can configure an LDAPSearch query that will find if there
are users in LDAP that have the email address and
email_belongs_to_ldap() will take advantage of that - no longer
returning True in response to all requests and thus blocking email
backend authentication.

In the documentation, we describe this as mandatory configuration for
users (and likely will make it so soon in the code) because the
failure modes for this not being configured are confusing.

But making that change is pending work to improve the relevant error
messages.

Fixes #11715.

Mateusz Mandera d70e1bcdb7 settings: Add FAKE_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting.
Fixes #9401.

This adds a FAKE_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting, which should be used if
EXTERNAL_HOST is not a valid domain, and something else is needed to
form bot and dummy user emails (if email visibility is turned off).
It defaults to EXTERNAL_HOST.

get_fake_email_domain() should be used to get this value. It validates
that it's correctly set - that it can be used to form valid emails.

If it's not set correctly, an exception is raised. This is the right
approach, because it's undesirable to have the server seemingly
peacefully operating with that setting misconfigured, as that could
mask some hidden sneaky bugs due to UserProfiles with invalid emails,
which would blow up the moment some code that does validate the emails
is called.

Harshit Bansal bf14a0af4d auth: Migrate google auth to python-social-auth.
This replaces the two custom Google authentication backends originally
written in 2012 with using the shared python-social-auth codebase that
we already use for the GitHub authentication backend.  These are:

* GoogleMobileOauth2Backend, the ancient code path for mobile
  authentication last used by the EOL original Zulip Android app.

* The `finish_google_oauth2` code path in zerver/views/auth.py, which
  was the webapp (and modern mobile app) Google authentication code
  path.

This change doesn't fix any known bugs; its main benefit is that we
get to remove hundreds of lines of security-sensitive semi-duplicated
code, replacing it with a widely trusted, high quality third-party
library.

Greg Price a612049ac4 docs: Expand on LDAP config; try to clarify "username" concept.
The term "username" confusingly refers both to the Django concept of
"username" (meaning "the name the user types into the login form") and
a concept the admin presumably already has in their existing
environment; which may or may not be the same thing, and in fact this
is where we document the admin's choice of whether and how they should
correspond.  The Django concept in particular isn't obvious, and is
counterintuitive when it means something like an email address.

Explicitly explain the Django "username" concept, under the name of
"Zulip username" to take responsibility for our choice of how it's
exposed in the settings interface.  Then use an explicit qualifier,
like "LDAP username", whenever referring to some other notion of
username.  And make a pass over this whole side of the instructions,
in particular for consistent handling of these concepts.

Aditya Bansal 98a4e87e1d thumbor: Complete implementation of thumbnailing.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:

* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
  enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).

* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic

* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
  accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
  external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
  security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).

* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
  `src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
  for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
  can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.

There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
  to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
  that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.

thumbor).

Aditya Bansal 9b485f3ef4 auth: Fix bug with subdomains and GitHub auth causing apparent logouts.
This adds a new settings, SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN, which specifies which
domain should be used for GitHub auth and other python-social-auth
backends.

If one is running a single-realm Zulip server like chat.zulip.org, one
doesn't need to use this setting, but for multi-realm servers using
social auth, this fixes an annoying bug where the session cookie that
python-social-auth sets early in the auth process on the root domain
ends up masking the session cookie that would have been used to
determine a user is logged in.  The end result was that logging in
with GitHub on one domain on a multi-realm server like zulipchat.com
would appear to log you out from all the others!

We fix this by moving python-social-auth to a separate subdomain.

Fixes: #9847.

use this in production.

This addresses much, but not all, of #9361.

Greg Price 9a0fdf5b8d settings: Add a few more section headings.
This should help a bit more in making this file navigable.

I think there's further work that could be done to organize the
settings better: e.g., group LDAP with the auth section; separate
resource limits, from debugging and error reporting, from configuring
service dependencies like Redis and Rabbit.  That'd require reordering
many settings, and also taking a closer look at many settings one by
one in order to do a good job.  Leaving that for another day.

Greg Price 9a9d3097be settings: Add some visual weight to the section headings.
I've found this file hard to navigate for a while.  We actually have a
little hierarchy of section headings which applies to a lot of the
file already; make the boundaries bolder.

Greg Price 9956d61e20 settings: Revise comments on SMTP / outgoing email settings.
Add a clear heading, and use fewer words and simpler sentences.  Also
explain the password thing a bit more, and put that more inline next
to the username.

Also, on checking the Django docs, the default for EMAIL_USE_TLS
is False and for EMAIL_PORT is 25.  So most admins, certainly any that
are using an SMTP service on the public Internet (that is at all
decently run), will need to set those settings.  Mention that.

Greg Price c6ce6dd5c6 settings: Try to clarify how AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP works.
This comment didn't really explain things unless you were looking at
the code, and/or had a strong enough association for what "cn" means
that it was obvious what must be meant.  Maybe this will be clearer.

There is one other meaningful key, which is optional: "short_name",
for which I guess a typical value if supplied would be "uid" or
"userid".  I'm not sure we really do much with a user's `short_name`,
though, so didn't add a comment for it.  When this key is omitted,
we set the user's `short_name` to the same thing as `full_name`.

Greg Price 9e70026741 settings: Slightly clarify LDAP setup docs.
There's kind of a lot of prose in this LDAP section; and empirically
this bit about zulip-secrets.conf is easy to miss.

Greg Price 93e29629ab settings: In ALLOWED_HOSTS example, show a list and an IP address.
Different formats for configuration files have a wide variety of ways
of representing lists; so if you're not accustomed to Python syntax,
or aren't thinking of this file as Python code, the syntax for several
ALLOWED_HOSTS entries may not be obvious.  And this setting is one
that an admin is likely to want to touch quite early in using Zulip.
So, demonstrate a multi-element list.

For similar reasons, demonstrate an IP address.  This one is in a
range reserved for documentation (by RFC 5737), like `example.com`.

Greg Price 3230d35d7f settings: Clean up EMAIL_HOST documentation a bit.
Gmail is a bad example for outbound email; use a generic example.

Also leave the `= None` default out of the config file, as it's
redundant with DEFAULT_SETTINGS in our internal settings.py ; and
explain in the latter why we don't mention the other SMTP settings.

Greg Price 415da352df prod install: Cut premature suggestion to configure auth backends.
The warning here means that the admin can't really act on this yet if
they want to disable email auth, which is likely among admins that
want to make any changes here.  And for admins who don't, this is an
extra thing to read and make a decision about before they can get a
server running.  See #6985.

Conversely, we already discuss auth backends right at the top of the
`prod-customize` doc, which is linked under "Next steps" at the end of
these instructions.

The warning about EmailAuthBackend is important; but we can move it to
the config file right next to the setting, and then it's available
right when it's actionable, which is if the admin is actually thinking
about changing the setting.

Tim Abbott 900cd13865 docs: Link to postgres documentation for SSL modes.
For some historical reason we'd had the Postgres documentation on

Greg Price 909631b5a9 docs/oauth: Update for Google UI changes, and for zulipdev.com.
The control panel on the Google side doesn't seem to match the
instructions we have; it looks pretty 2017 to me, so I imagine
it's had a redesign since the instructions were written.

Also, in dev, EXTERNAL_HOST is now a port on zulipdev.com, not on
localhost.

Update these instructions for those developments, and edit lightly.
In dev, recommend setting in `dev_settings` instead of in
`prod_settings_template`; that feels to me a little more reflective of
the actual intent, and the effect should be equivalent.

Greg Price b33d981d7b settings: Simplify setting ALLOWED_HOSTS, by handling EXTERNAL_HOST.
This means one fewer thing the admin typically needs to read, absorb,
and make a decision about at install time.

The one way this change could hypothetically cause trouble is if the
admin wants to keep subdomains of EXTERNAL_HOST out of ALLOWED_HOSTS.
But while the subdomains often won't exist as domain names, it's hard
to imagine the situation in which they would exist but be under
someone else's control, or be doing something other than serving
Zulip realms.

Rishi Gupta a08543f1ce server settings: Add setting for MAILING_ADDRESS.
The rules here are fuzzy, and it's quite possible none of Zulip's emails
need an address at all. Every country has its own rules though, which makes
it hard to tell. In general, transactional emails do not need an address,
and marketing emails do.

Greg Price 0691724836 passwords: Set default zxcvbn threshold to 10k guesses.

and an explanation of why this value.

Greg Price a116303604 passwords: Express the quality threshold as guesses required.
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.)

This commit enables user to authenticate with any attribute set in
