-Synapse 1.55.2 (2022-03-24)
-===========================
-
-This patch version reverts the earlier fixes from Synapse 1.55.1, which could cause problems in certain deployments, and instead adds a cap to the version of Jinja to be installed. Again, this is to fix an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, and again, deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.

-Synapse 1.55.1 (2022-03-24)
-===========================
-
-This is a patch release that fixes an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, released on March 24th, 2022. Deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.
-
-Internal Changes
-----------------
-
-- Remove uses of the long-deprecated `jinja2.Markup` which would prevent Synapse from starting with Jinja 3.1.0 or above installed. ([\#12289](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12289))
-
-
-Synapse 1.55.0 (2022-03-22)
-===========================
-
-This release removes a workaround introduced in Synapse 1.50.0 for Mjolnir compatibility. **This breaks compatibility with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier. ([\#11700](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11700))**; Mjolnir users should upgrade Mjolnir before upgrading Synapse to this version.
-
-This release also moves the location of the `synctl` script; see the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#synctl-script-has-been-moved) for more details.

-Synapse 1.52.0 (2022-02-08)
-===========================
-
-No significant changes since 1.52.0rc1.
-
-Note that [Twisted 22.1.0](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/releases/tag/twisted-22.1.0)
-has recently been released, which fixes a [security issue](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx)
-within the Twisted library. We do not believe Synapse is affected by this vulnerability,
-though we advise server administrators who installed Synapse via pip to upgrade Twisted
-with `pip install --upgrade Twisted treq` as a matter of good practice. The Docker image
-`matrixdotorg/synapse` and the Debian packages from `packages.matrix.org` are using the
-updated library.

-Synapse 1.49.2 (2021-12-21)
-===========================
-
-This release fixes a regression introduced in Synapse 1.49.0 which could cause `/sync` requests to take significantly longer. This would particularly affect "initial" syncs for users participating in a large number of rooms, and in extreme cases, could make it impossible for such users to log in on a new client.
-
-**Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6, both of which have now reached upstream end-of-life. Synapse will require Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+.
-
-**Note:** We will also stop producing packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) after this release, as it uses Python 3.6.

+DO NOT USE THESE DEMO SERVERS IN PRODUCTION
+
+Requires you to have done:
+    python setup.py develop
+
+
+The demo start.sh will start three synapse servers on ports 8080, 8081 and 8082, with host names localhost:$port. This can be easily changed to `hostname`:$port in start.sh if required.
+
+To enable the servers to communicate untrusted ssl certs are used. In order to do this the servers do not check the certs
+and are configured in a highly insecure way. Do not use these configuration files in production.
+
+stop.sh will stop the synapse servers and the webclient.
+
+clean.sh will delete the databases and log files.
+
+To start a completely new set of servers, run:
+
+    ./demo/stop.sh; ./demo/clean.sh && ./demo/start.sh
+
+
+Logs and sqlitedb will be stored in demo/808{0,1,2}.{log,db}
+
+
+
+Also note that when joining a public room on a differnt HS via "#foo:bar.net", then you are (in the current impl) joining a room with room_id "foo". This means that it won't work if your HS already has a room with that name.

+# MSC1711 Certificates FAQ
+
+## Historical Note
+This document was originally written to guide server admins through the upgrade
+path towards Synapse 1.0. Specifically,
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)
+required that all servers present valid TLS certificates on their federation
+API. Admins were encouraged to achieve compliance from version 0.99.0 (released
+in February 2019) ahead of version 1.0 (released June 2019) enforcing the
+certificate checks.
+
+Much of what follows is now outdated since most admins will have already
+upgraded, however it may be of use to those with old installs returning to the
+project.
+
+If you are setting up a server from scratch you almost certainly should look at
+the [installation guide](setup/installation.md) instead.
+
+## Introduction
+The goal of Synapse 0.99.0 is to act as a stepping stone to Synapse 1.0.0. It
+supports the r0.1 release of the server to server specification, but is
+compatible with both the legacy Matrix federation behaviour (pre-r0.1) as well
+as post-r0.1 behaviour, in order to allow for a smooth upgrade across the
+federation.
+
+The most important thing to know is that Synapse 1.0.0 will require a valid TLS
+certificate on federation endpoints. Self signed certificates will not be
+sufficient.
+
+Synapse 0.99.0 makes it easy to configure TLS certificates and will
+interoperate with both >= 1.0.0 servers as well as existing servers yet to
+upgrade.
+
+**It is critical that all admins upgrade to 0.99.0 and configure a valid TLS
+certificate.** Admins will have 1 month to do so, after which 1.0.0 will be
+released and those servers without a valid certificate will not longer be able
+to federate with >= 1.0.0 servers.
+
+Full details on how to carry out this configuration change is given
+[below](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100). A
+timeline and some frequently asked questions are also given below.
+
+For more details and context on the release of the r0.1 Server/Server API and
+imminent Matrix 1.0 release, you can also see our
+[main talk from FOSDEM 2019](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/02/04/matrix-at-fosdem-2019/).

+## Timeline
+
+**5th Feb 2019  - Synapse 0.99.0 is released.**
+
+All server admins are encouraged to upgrade.
+
+0.99.0:
+
+-   provides support for ACME to make setting up Let's Encrypt certs easy, as
+    well as .well-known support.
+
+-   does not enforce that a valid CA cert is present on the federation API, but
+    rather makes it easy to set one up.
+
+-   provides support for .well-known
+
+Admins should upgrade and configure a valid CA cert. Homeservers that require a
+.well-known entry (see below), should retain their SRV record and use it
+alongside their .well-known record.
+
+**10th June 2019  - Synapse 1.0.0 is released**
+
+1.0.0 is scheduled for release on 10th June. In
+accordance with the the [S2S spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.0.html)
+1.0.0 will enforce certificate validity. This means that any homeserver without a
+valid certificate after this point will no longer be able to federate with
+1.0.0 servers.
+
+## Configuring certificates for compatibility with Synapse 1.0.0
+
+### If you do not currently have an SRV record
+
+In this case, your `server_name` points to the host where your Synapse is
+running. There is no need to create a `.well-known` URI or an SRV record, but
+you will need to give Synapse a valid, signed, certificate.
+
+### If you do have an SRV record currently
+
+If you are using an SRV record, your matrix domain (`server_name`) may not
+point to the same host that your Synapse is running on (the 'target
+domain'). (If it does, you can follow the recommendation above; otherwise, read
+on.)
+
+Let's assume that your `server_name` is `example.com`, and your Synapse is
+hosted at a target domain of `customer.example.net`. Currently you should have
+an SRV record which looks like:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 8000 customer.example.net.
+```
+
+In this situation, you have three choices for how to proceed:
+
+#### Option 1: give Synapse a certificate for your matrix domain
+
+Synapse 1.0 will expect your server to present a TLS certificate for your
+`server_name` (`example.com` in the above example). You can achieve this by acquiring a
+certificate for the `server_name` yourself (for example, using `certbot`), and giving it
+and the key to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+#### Option 2: run Synapse behind a reverse proxy
+
+If you have an existing reverse proxy set up with correct TLS certificates for
+your domain, you can simply route all traffic through the reverse proxy by
+updating the SRV record appropriately (or removing it, if the proxy listens on
+8448).
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+#### Option 3: add a .well-known file to delegate your matrix traffic
+
+This will allow you to keep Synapse on a separate domain, without having to
+give it a certificate for the matrix domain.
+
+You can do this with a `.well-known` file as follows:
+
+ 1. Keep the SRV record in place - it is needed for backwards compatibility
+    with Synapse 0.34 and earlier.
+
+  2. Give Synapse a certificate corresponding to the target domain
+    (`customer.example.net` in the above example). You can do this by acquire a 
+    certificate for the target domain and giving it to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path`
+    and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+ 3. Restart Synapse to ensure the new certificate is loaded.
+
+ 4. Arrange for a `.well-known` file at
+    `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` with contents:
+
+    ```json
+    {"m.server": "<target server name>"}
+    ```
+
+    where the target server name is resolved as usual (i.e. SRV lookup, falling
+    back to talking to port 8448).
+
+    In the above example, where synapse is listening on port 8000,
+    `https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` should have `m.server` set to one of:

+## FAQ
+
+### Synapse 0.99.0 has just been released, what do I need to do right now?
+
+Upgrade as soon as you can in preparation for Synapse 1.0.0, and update your
+TLS certificates as [above](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100).
+
+### What will happen if I do not set up a valid federation certificate immediately?
+
+Nothing initially, but once 1.0.0 is in the wild it will not be possible to
+federate with 1.0.0 servers.
+
+### What will happen if I do nothing at all?
+
+If the admin takes no action at all, and remains on a Synapse < 0.99.0 then the
+homeserver will be unable to federate with those who have implemented
+.well-known. Then, as above, once the month upgrade window has expired the
+homeserver will not be able to federate with any Synapse >= 1.0.0
+
+### When do I need a SRV record or .well-known URI?
+
+If your homeserver listens on the default federation port (8448), and your
+`server_name` points to the host that your homeserver runs on, you do not need an
+SRV record or `.well-known/matrix/server` URI.
+
+For instance, if you registered `example.com` and pointed its DNS A record at a
+fresh Upcloud VPS or similar, you could install Synapse 0.99 on that host,
+giving it a server_name of `example.com`, and it would automatically generate a
+valid TLS certificate for you via Let's Encrypt and no SRV record or
+`.well-known` URI would be needed.
+
+This is the common case, although you can add an SRV record or
+`.well-known/matrix/server` URI for completeness if you wish.
+
+**However**, if your server does not listen on port 8448, or if your `server_name`
+does not point to the host that your homeserver runs on, you will need to let
+other servers know how to find it.
+
+In this case, you should see ["If you do have an SRV record
+currently"](#if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently) above.
+
+### Can I still use an SRV record?
+
+Firstly, if you didn't need an SRV record before (because your server is
+listening on port 8448 of your server_name), you certainly don't need one now:
+the defaults are still the same.
+
+If you previously had an SRV record, you can keep using it provided you are
+able to give Synapse a TLS certificate corresponding to your server name. For
+example, suppose you had the following SRV record, which directs matrix traffic
+for example.com to matrix.example.com:443:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 443 matrix.example.com
+```
+
+In this case, Synapse must be given a certificate for example.com - or be
+configured to acquire one from Let's Encrypt.
+
+If you are unable to give Synapse a certificate for your server_name, you will
+also need to use a .well-known URI instead. However, see also "I have created a
+.well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?".
+
+### I have created a .well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?
+
+As of Synapse 0.99, Synapse will first check for the existence of a `.well-known`
+URI and follow any delegation it suggests. It will only then check for the
+existence of an SRV record.
+
+That means that the SRV record will often be redundant. However, you should
+remember that there may still be older versions of Synapse in the federation
+which do not understand `.well-known` URIs, so if you removed your SRV record you
+would no longer be able to federate with them.
+
+It is therefore best to leave the SRV record in place for now. Synapse 0.34 and
+earlier will follow the SRV record (and not care about the invalid
+certificate). Synapse 0.99 and later will follow the .well-known URI, with the
+correct certificate chain.
+
+### It used to work just fine, why are you breaking everything?
+
+We have always wanted Matrix servers to be as easy to set up as possible, and
+so back when we started federation in 2014 we didn't want admins to have to go
+through the cumbersome process of buying a valid TLS certificate to run a
+server. This was before Let's Encrypt came along and made getting a free and
+valid TLS certificate straightforward. So instead, we adopted a system based on
+[Perspectives](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(SSL)): an approach
+where you check a set of "notary servers" (in practice, homeservers) to vouch
+for the validity of a certificate rather than having it signed by a CA. As long
+as enough different notaries agree on the certificate's validity, then it is
+trusted.
+
+However, in practice this has never worked properly. Most people only use the
+default notary server (matrix.org), leading to inadvertent centralisation which
+we want to eliminate. Meanwhile, we never implemented the full consensus
+algorithm to query the servers participating in a room to determine consensus
+on whether a given certificate is valid. This is fiddly to get right
+(especially in face of sybil attacks), and we found ourselves questioning
+whether it was worth the effort to finish the work and commit to maintaining a
+secure certificate validation system as opposed to focusing on core Matrix
+development.
+
+Meanwhile, Let's Encrypt came along in 2016, and put the final nail in the
+coffin of the Perspectives project (which was already pretty dead). So, the
+Spec Core Team decided that a better approach would be to mandate valid TLS
+certificates for federation alongside the rest of the Web. More details can be
+found in
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md#background-the-failure-of-the-perspectives-approach).
+
+This results in a breaking change, which is disruptive, but absolutely critical
+for the security model. However, the existence of Let's Encrypt as a trivial
+way to replace the old self-signed certificates with valid CA-signed ones helps
+smooth things over massively, especially as Synapse can now automate Let's
+Encrypt certificate generation if needed.
+
+### Can I manage my own certificates rather than having Synapse renew certificates itself?
+
+Yes, you are welcome to manage your certificates yourself. Synapse will only
+attempt to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt if you configure it to do
+so.The only requirement is that there is a valid TLS cert present for
+federation end points.
+
+### Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?
+
+We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
+find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
+own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+### Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?
+
+Practically speaking, this is no longer necessary.
+
+If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your TLS traffic, then you can set
+`no_tls: True`. In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is
+to populate a legacy 'tls_fingerprints' field in the federation API. This is
+ignored by Synapse 0.99.0 and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will
+check it is when attempting to fetch the server keys - and generally this is
+delegated via `matrix.org`, which is on 0.99.0.
+
+However, there is a bug in Synapse 0.99.0
+[4554](<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4554>) which prevents
+Synapse from starting if you do not give it a TLS certificate. To work around
+this, you can give it any TLS certificate at all. This will be fixed soon.
+
+### Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?
+
+No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
+particularly if you are using a reverse proxy. However, Synapse will use the
+same certificate on any ports where TLS is configured.
+
+### How do I tell Synapse to reload my keys/certificates after I replace them?
+
+Synapse will reload the keys and certificates when it receives a SIGHUP - for
+example `kill -HUP $(cat homeserver.pid)`. Alternatively, simply restart
+Synapse, though this will result in downtime while it restarts.

-Delta files define the steps required to upgrade the database from an earlier version.
-They can be written as either a file containing a series of SQL statements, or a Python

-Synapse remembers which delta files it has applied to a database (they are stored in the

-
-Delta files should be placed in a directory named `synapse/storage/schema/<database>/delta/<version>/`.
-They are applied in alphanumeric order, so  by convention the first two characters
-of the filename should be an integer such as `01`, to put the file in the right order.
-
-### SQL delta files
-
-These should be named `*.sql`, or —  for changes which should only be applied for a

-but complex statements which require a `;` in the middle of them (such as `CREATE
-TRIGGER`) are beyond it and you'll have to use a Python delta file.

-### Python delta files
-
-For more flexibility, a delta file can take the form of a python module. These should

-**DO NOT USE THESE DEMO SERVERS IN PRODUCTION**
-
-Requires you to have a [Synapse development environment setup](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/development/contributing_guide.html#4-install-the-dependencies).
-
-The demo setup allows running three federation Synapse servers, with server
-names `localhost:8080`, `localhost:8081`, and `localhost:8082`.
-
-You can access them via any Matrix client over HTTP at `localhost:8080`,
-`localhost:8081`, and `localhost:8082` or over HTTPS at `localhost:8480`,
-`localhost:8481`, and `localhost:8482`.
-
-To enable the servers to communicate, self-signed SSL certificates are generated
-and the servers are configured in a highly insecure way, including:
-
-* Not checking certificates over federation.
-* Not verifying keys.
-
-The servers are configured to store their data under `demo/8080`, `demo/8081`, and
-`demo/8082`. This includes configuration, logs, SQLite databases, and media.
-
-Note that when joining a public room on a different HS via "#foo:bar.net", then
-you are (in the current impl) joining a room with room_id "foo". This means that
-it won't work if your HS already has a room with that name.
-
-## Using the demo scripts
-
-There's three main scripts with straightforward purposes:
-
-* `start.sh` will start the Synapse servers, generating any missing configuration.
-  * This accepts a single parameter `--no-rate-limit` to "disable" rate limits
-    (they actually still exist, but are very high).
-* `stop.sh` will stop the Synapse servers.
-* `clean.sh` will delete the configuration, databases, log files, etc.

-* Day 7: Synapse `N` release candidate 1 is released.
-* Days 7 - 13: Synapse `N` release candidates 2+ are released, if bugs are found.
-* Day 14: Synapse `N` is released.

-## Security releases

-Security will sometimes be backported to the previous version and released
-immediately before the next release candidate. An example of this might be:

- * We don't have state for them, so there should be no entry in
-   `event_to_state_groups` for an outlier. (In practice this isn't always
-   the case, though I'm not sure why: see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12201).

- * We don't record entries for them in the `event_edges`,

-### Out-of-band membership events
-
-A special case of outlier events are some membership events for federated rooms
-that we aren't full members of. For example:

- * invites received over federation, before we join the room
- * *rejections* for said invites
- * knock events for rooms that we would like to join but have not yet joined.

-In all the above cases, we don't have the state for the room, which is why they

-## Groups/communities feature has been deprecated
-
-The non-standard groups/communities feature in Synapse has been deprecated and will

-The `synctl` script
-[has been made](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12140) an
-[entry point](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/)
-and no longer exists at the root of Synapse's source tree. If you wish to use
-`synctl` to manage your homeserver, you should invoke `synctl` directly, e.g.

-# Refresh Tokens
-
-Synapse supports refresh tokens since version 1.49 (some earlier versions had support for an earlier, experimental draft of [MSC2918] which is not compatible).
-
-
-[MSC2918]: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens
-
-
-## Background and motivation
-
-Synapse users' sessions are identified by **access tokens**; access tokens are
-issued to users on login. Each session gets a unique access token which identifies
-it; the access token must be kept secret as it grants access to the user's account.
-
-Traditionally, these access tokens were eternally valid (at least until the user
-explicitly chose to log out).
-
-In some cases, it may be desirable for these access tokens to expire so that the
-potential damage caused by leaking an access token is reduced.
-On the other hand, forcing a user to re-authenticate (log in again) often might
-be too much of an inconvenience.
-
-**Refresh tokens** are a mechanism to avoid some of this inconvenience whilst
-still getting most of the benefits of short access token lifetimes.
-Refresh tokens are also a concept present in OAuth 2 — further reading is available
-[here](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-1.5).
-
-When refresh tokens are in use, both an access token and a refresh token will be
-issued to users on login. The access token will expire after a predetermined amount
-of time, but otherwise works in the same way as before. When the access token is
-close to expiring (or has expired), the user's client should present the homeserver
-(Synapse) with the refresh token.
-
-The homeserver will then generate a new access token and refresh token for the user
-and return them. The old refresh token is invalidated and can not be used again*.
-
-Finally, refresh tokens also make it possible for sessions to be logged out if they
-are inactive for too long, before the session naturally ends; see the configuration
-guide below.
-
-
-*To prevent issues if clients lose connection half-way through refreshing a token,
-the refresh token is only invalidated once the new access token has been used at
-least once. For all intents and purposes, the above simplification is sufficient.
-
-
-## Caveats
-
-There are some caveats:
-
-* If a third party gets both your access token and refresh token, they will be able to
-  continue to enjoy access to your session.
-  * This is still an improvement because you (the user) will notice when *your*
-    session expires and you're not able to use your refresh token.
-    That would be a giveaway that someone else has compromised your session.
-    You would be able to log in again and terminate that session.
-    Previously (with long-lived access tokens), a third party that has your access
-    token could go undetected for a very long time.
-* Clients need to implement support for refresh tokens in order for them to be a
-  useful mechanism.
-  * It is up to homeserver administrators if they want to issue long-lived access
-    tokens to clients not implementing refresh tokens.
-    * For compatibility, it is likely that they should, at least until client support
-      is widespread.
-      * Users with clients that support refresh tokens will still benefit from the
-        added security; it's not possible to downgrade a session to using long-lived
-        access tokens so this effectively gives users the choice.
-    * In a closed environment where all users use known clients, this may not be
-      an issue as the homeserver administrator can know if the clients have refresh
-      token support. In that case, the non-refreshable access token lifetime
-      may be set to a short duration so that a similar level of security is provided.
-
-
-## Configuration Guide
-
-The following configuration options, in the `registration` section, are related:
-
-* `session_lifetime`: maximum length of a session, even if it's refreshed.
-  In other words, the client must log in again after this time period.
-  In most cases, this can be unset (infinite) or set to a long time (years or months).
-* `refreshable_access_token_lifetime`: lifetime of access tokens that are created
-  by clients supporting refresh tokens.
-  This should be short; a good value might be 5 minutes (`5m`).
-* `nonrefreshable_access_token_lifetime`: lifetime of access tokens that are created
-  by clients which don't support refresh tokens.
-  Make this short if you want to effectively force use of refresh tokens.
-  Make this long if you don't want to inconvenience users of clients which don't
-  support refresh tokens (by forcing them to frequently re-authenticate using
-  login credentials).
-* `refresh_token_lifetime`: lifetime of refresh tokens.
-  In other words, the client must refresh within this time period to maintain its session.
-  Unless you want to log inactive sessions out, it is often fine to use a long
-  value here or even leave it unset (infinite).
-  Beware that making it too short will inconvenience clients that do not connect
-  very often, including mobile clients and clients of infrequent users (by making
-  it more difficult for them to refresh in time, which may force them to need to
-  re-authenticate using login credentials).
-
-**Note:** All four options above only apply when tokens are created (by logging in or refreshing).
-Changes to these settings do not apply retroactively.
-
-
-### Using refresh token expiry to log out inactive sessions
-
-If you'd like to force sessions to be logged out upon inactivity, you can enable
-refreshable access token expiry and refresh token expiry.
-
-This works because a client must refresh at least once within a period of
-`refresh_token_lifetime` in order to maintain valid credentials to access the
-account.
-
-(It's suggested that `refresh_token_lifetime` should be longer than
-`refreshable_access_token_lifetime` and this section assumes that to be the case
-for simplicity.)
-
-Note: this will only affect sessions using refresh tokens. You may wish to
-set a short `nonrefreshable_access_token_lifetime` to prevent this being bypassed
-by clients that do not support refresh tokens.
-
-
-#### Choosing values that guarantee permitting some inactivity
-
-It may be desirable to permit some short periods of inactivity, for example to
-accommodate brief outages in client connectivity.
-
-The following model aims to provide guidance for choosing `refresh_token_lifetime`
-and `refreshable_access_token_lifetime` to satisfy requirements of the form:
-
-1. inactivity longer than `L` **MUST** cause the session to be logged out; and
-2. inactivity shorter than `S` **MUST NOT** cause the session to be logged out.
-
-This model makes the weakest assumption that all active clients will refresh as
-needed to maintain an active access token, but no sooner.
-*In reality, clients may refresh more often than this model assumes, but the
-above requirements will still hold.*
-
-To satisfy the above model,
-* `refresh_token_lifetime` should be set to `L`; and
-* `refreshable_access_token_lifetime` should be set to `L - S`.
