Synapse 1.27.0rc2 (2021-02-11)
==============================
Features
--------
- Further improvements to the user experience of registration via single sign-on. ([\#9297](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9297))
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix ratelimiting introduced in v1.27.0rc1 for invites to respect the `ratelimit` flag on application services. ([\#9302](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9302))
- Do not automatically calculate `public_baseurl` since it can be wrong in some situations. Reverts behaviour introduced in v1.26.0. ([\#9313](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9313))
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Clarify the sample configuration for changes made to the template loading code. ([\#9310](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9310))
Remove conflicting sqlite tables that throw sqlite3.OperationalError: object name reserved for internal use: event_search_content when running the twisted unit tests.
Fix#8996
Fixes some exceptions if the room state isn't quite as expected.
If the expected state events aren't found, try to find them in the
historical room state. If they still aren't found, fallback to a reasonable,
although ugly, value.
This could arguably replace the existing admin API for `/members`, however that is out of scope of this change.
This sort of endpoint is ideal for moderation use cases as well as other applications, such as needing to retrieve various bits of information about a room to perform a task (like syncing power levels between two places). This endpoint exposes nothing more than an admin would be able to access with a `select *` query on their database.
* Fixes a case where no summary text was returned.
* The use of messages_from_person vs. messages_from_person_and_others
was tweaked to depend on whether there was 1 sender or multiple senders,
not based on if there was 1 room or multiple rooms.
Context, Fixes: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9263
In the past to fix an issue with old Riots re-requesting threepid validation tokens, we raised a `LoginError` during UIA instead of `InteractiveAuthIncompleteError`. This is now breaking the way Tchap logs in - which isn't standard, but also isn't disallowed by the spec.
An easy fix is just to remove the 4 year old workaround.
There's some prelimiary work here to pull out the construction of a jinja environment to a separate function.
I wanted to load the template at display time rather than load time, so that it's easy to update on the fly. Honestly, I think we should do this with all our templates: the risk of ending up with malformed templates is far outweighed by the improved turnaround time for an admin trying to update them.
Fixes#8966.
* Factor out build_synapse_client_resource_tree
Start a function which will mount resources common to all workers.
* Move sso init into build_synapse_client_resource_tree
... so that we don't have to do it for each worker
* Fix SSO-login-via-a-worker
Expose the SSO login endpoints on workers, like the documentation says.
* Update workers config for new endpoints
Add documentation for endpoints recently added (#8942, #9017, #9262)
* remove submit_token from workers endpoints list
this *doesn't* work on workers (yet).
* changelog
* Add a comment about the odd path for SAML2Resource
There are going to be a couple of paths to get to the final step of SSO reg, and I want the URL in the browser to consistent. So, let's move the final step onto a separate path, which we redirect to.
* synapse.app.base: only call gc.freeze() on CPython
gc.freeze() is an implementation detail of CPython garbage collector,
and notably does not exist on PyPy.
Rather than playing whack-a-mole and skipping the call when under PyPy,
simply restrict it to CPython because the whole gc module is
implementation-defined.

Adds note about updating dh-virtualenv once we drop support for Xenial.

We've decided to add a 'brand' field to help clients decide how to style the
buttons.
Also, fix up the allowed characters for idp_id, while I'm in the area.
If a Synapse module's config block were empty in YAML, thus being translated to a `Nonetype` in Python, then some modules could fail as that None ends up getting passed to their `parse_config` method. Modules are expected to accept a `dict` instead.
This PR ensures that if the user does end up specifying an empty config block (such as what [the default oidc config in the sample config](5310808d3b/docs/sample_config.yaml (L1816-L1845)) states) then `None` is not passed to the module. An empty dict is passed instead.
This code assumes that no existing modules are relying on receiving a `None` config block, but I'd really hope that they aren't.
Treat unknown encodings (according to lxml) as UTF-8
when generating a preview for HTML documents. This
isn't fully accurate, but will hopefully give a reasonable
title and summary.
This new version no longer has the problem of adding/removing a blank line in `.pyi` files, which black disagrees with. This would cause `isort` to slightly modify `.pyi` files, before `black` would subsequently modify back directly afterwards.
Relevant `isort` issue: https://github.com/pycqa/isort/issues/1284
This is done by creating a custom `RedisFactory` subclass that
periodically pings all connections in its pool.
We also ensure that the `replyTimeout` param is non-null, so that we
timeout waiting for the reply to those pings (and thus triggering a
reconnect).
This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via
the admin API and adds documentation for it.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their
client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms.
Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead
to confusing or broken behaviour for the client.
If no thumbnail of the requested type exists, return a 404 instead
of erroring. This doesn't quite match the spec (which does not define
what happens if no thumbnail can be found), but is consistent with
what Synapse already does.
The lists of source directories to lint between `tox.ini` and `lint.sh` became out of sync. This PR tightens them up and adds some comments reminding any future readers to keep the list in sync.
We have seen a failure mode here where if there are many in flight
unfinished IDs then marking an ID as finished takes a lot of CPU (as
calling deque.remove iterates over the list)
Introduced in #9104
This wasn't picked up by the tests as this is all fine the first time you run Synapse (after upgrading), but then when you restart the wrong value is pulled from `stream_positions`.
* Factor out a common TestHtmlParser
Looks like I'm doing this in a few different places.
* Improve OIDC login test
Complete the OIDC login flow, rather than giving up halfway through.
* Ensure that OIDC login works with multiple OIDC providers
* Fix bugs in handling clientRedirectUrl
- don't drop duplicate query-params, or params with no value
- allow utf-8 in query-params
0dd2649c1 (#9112) changed the signature of `auth_via_oidc`. Meanwhile,
26d10331e (#9091) introduced a new test which relied on the old signature of
`auth_via_oidc`. The two branches were never tested together until they landed
in develop.
We do this by allowing a single iteration to process multiple rooms at a
time, as there are often a lot of really tiny rooms, which can massively
slow things down.
This is the final step for supporting multiple OIDC providers concurrently.
First of all, we reorganise the config so that you can specify a list of OIDC providers, instead of a single one. Before:
oidc_config:
enabled: true
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
# etc
After:
oidc_providers:
- idp_id: prov1
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
- idp_id: prov2
issuer: "https://another_oidc_provider"
The old format is still grandfathered in.
With that done, it's then simply a matter of having OidcHandler instantiate a new OidcProvider for each configured provider.
Protecting media stops it from being quarantined when
e.g. all media in a room is quarantined. This is useful
for sticker packs and other media that is uploaded by
server administrators, but used by many people.
`distutils` is pretty much deprecated these days, and replaced with
`setuptools`. It's also annoying because it's you can't `pip install` it, and
it's hard to figure out which debian package we should depend on to make sure
it's there.
Since we only use it for a tiny function anyway, let's just vendor said
function into our codebase.
* make the OIDC bits of the test work at a higher level - via the REST api instead of poking the OIDCHandler directly.
* Move it to test_login.py, where I think it fits better.
Again in preparation for handling more than one OIDC provider, add a new caveat to the macaroon used as an OIDC session cookie, which remembers which OIDC provider we are talking to. In future, when we get a callback, we'll need it to make sure we talk to the right IdP.
As part of this, I'm adding an idp_id and idp_name field to the OIDC configuration object. They aren't yet documented, and we'll just use the old values by default.
The idea here is that we will have an instance of OidcProvider for each
configured IdP, with OidcHandler just doing the marshalling of them.
For now it's still hardcoded with a single provider.
A reactor was being passed instead of a whitelist for the BlacklistingAgentWrapper
used by the WellyKnownResolver. This coulld cause exceptions when attempting to
connect to IP addresses that are blacklisted, but in reality this did not have any
observable affect since this code is not used for IP literals.
If a user tries to do UI Auth via SSO, but uses the wrong account on the SSO
IdP, try to give them a better error.
Previously, the UIA would claim to be successful, but then the operation in
question would simply fail with "auth fail". Instead, serve up an error page
which explains the failure.
This checks that the domain given to `DomainSpecificString.is_valid` (e.g.
`UserID`, `RoomAlias`, etc.) is of a valid form. Previously some validation
was done on the localpart (e.g. the sigil), but not the domain portion.
Some light refactoring of OidcHandler, in preparation for bigger things:
* remove inheritance from deprecated BaseHandler
* add an object to hold the things that go into a session cookie
* factor out a separate class for manipulating said cookies
If we have integrations with multiple identity providers, when the user does a UI Auth, we need to redirect them to the right one.
There are a few steps to this. First of all we actually need to store the userid of the user we are trying to validate in the UIA session, since the /auth/sso/fallback/web request is unauthenticated.
Then, once we get the /auth/sso/fallback/web request, we can fish the user id out of the session, and use it to look up the external id mappings, and hence pick an SSO provider for them.
Debian package builds were failing for two reasons:
1. Python versions prior to 3.7 throw exceptions when attempting to print
Unicode characters under a "C" locale. (#9076)
2. We depended on `dh-systemd` which no longer exists in Debian Bullseye, but
is necessary in Ubuntu Xenial. (#9073)
Setting `LANG="C.UTF-8"` in the build environment fixes the first issue.
See also: https://bugs.python.org/issue19846
The second issue is a bit trickier. The dh-systemd package was merged into
debhelper version 9.20160709 and a transitional package left in its wake.
The transitional dh-systemd package was removed in Debian Bullseye.
However, Ubuntu Xenial ships an older debhelper, and still needs dh-systemd.
Thus, builds were failing on Bullseye since we depended on a package which had
ceased existing, but we couldn't remove it from the debian/control file and our
build scripts because we still needed it for Ubuntu Xenial.
We can fix the debian/control issue by listing dh-systemd as an alternative to
the newer versions of debhelper. Since dh-systemd declares that it depends on
debhelper, Ubuntu Xenial will select its older dh-systemd which will in turn
pull in its older debhelper, resulting in no change from the status quo. All
other supported releases will satisfy the debhelper dependency constraint and
skip the dh-systemd alternative.
Build scripts were fixed by unconditionally attempting to install dh-systemd on
all releases and suppressing failures.
Once we drop support for Ubuntu Xenial, we can revert most of this commit and
rely on the version constraint on debhelper in debian/control.

SynapseRequest is in danger of becoming a bit of a dumping-ground for "useful stuff relating to Requests",
which isn't really its intention (its purpose is to override render, finished and connectionLost to set up the
LoggingContext and write the right entries to the request log).
Putting utility functions inside SynapseRequest means that lots of our code ends up requiring a
SynapseRequest when there is nothing synapse-specific about the Request at all, and any old
twisted.web.iweb.IRequest will do. This increases code coupling and makes testing more difficult.
In short: move get_user_agent out to a utility function.
You can't continue using a transaction once an exception has been
raised, so catching and dropping the error here is pointless and just
causes more errors.
I'm not even sure what this was supposed to do, but the fact it has python2isms
and nobody has noticed suggests it's not terribly important.
It doesn't seem to have been used since ff23e5ba37.

The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.
This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:
- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.
I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.
This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.
Co-authored-by: Matthew Hodgson <matthew@matrix.org>
This had two effects 1) it'd give the wrong answer and b) would iterate
*all* power levels in the auth chain of each event. The latter of which
can be *very* expensive for certain types of IRC bridge rooms that have
large numbers of power level changes.
The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.
Fixes#8876.
Fixes a bug that deactivated users appear in the directory when their profile information was updated.
To change profile information of deactivated users is neccesary for example you will remove displayname or avatar.
But they should not appear in directory. They are deactivated.
Co-authored-by: Erik Johnston <erikj@jki.re>
This is another part of my work towards fixing #8876. It moves some of the logic currently in the SAML and OIDC handlers - in particular the call to `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login` down into the `SsoHandler`.
The two are equivalent, but really we want to check the HTTP result that got
returned to the channel, not the code that the Request object *intended* to
return to the channel.
* move simple_async_mock to test_utils
... so that it can be re-used
* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.
* changelog
* Remove references to handler._auth_handler
(and replace them with hs.get_auth_handler)
* Factor out a utility function for building Requests
* Remove mocks of `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user`
This method is going away, so mocking it out is no longer a valid approach.
Instead, we mock out lower-level methods (eg _remote_id_from_userinfo), or
simply allow the regular implementation to proceed and update the expectations
accordingly.
* Remove references to `OidcHandler._map_userinfo_to_user` from tests
This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead
we build mock "callback" requests which we pass into `handle_oidc_callback`,
and verify correct behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.
Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is enabled for workers. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.
This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.
This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised these templates, please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.

Synapse 1.25.0 (2021-01-13)
===========================
Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5
----------------------------------------------
With this release, the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:
All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream end-of-life schedules.
Which means:
* This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
* We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month.
* We will end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the year.
Crucially, this means __we will not produce .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)__ beyond the transition period described below.
The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of the support schedules for projects like [Python](https://endoflife.date/python) and [PostgreSQL](https://endoflife.date/postgresql).
If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using the [Synapse Docker images](./INSTALL.md#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks) instead.
### Transition Period
We will make a good faith attempt to avoid breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March 2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier.
We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period.
