Some auth providers (e.g. Auth0 with default configuration) send the email address in the name field. In Discourse, the name field is made public, so this commit adds a safeguard to prevent emails being made public.
API keys are now only visible when first created. After that, only the first four characters are stored in the database for identification, along with an sha256 hash of the full key. This makes key usage easier to audit, and ensures attackers would not have access to the live site in the event of a database leak.
This makes the merge lower risk, because we have some time to revert if needed. Once the change is confirmed to be working, we will add a second commit to drop the `key` column.
If a user has more than 60 active sessions, the oldest sessions will be terminated automatically. This protects performance when logging in and when loading the list of recently used devices.
Previous versions of the mail-receiver used query based api credentials,
if we detect this we will show a message in the admin panel to update
the mail receiver.
This change adds a message to the admin panel if it detects an api
requests that doesn't use the new header based authentication method.
The message is to warn people to switch to header based auth and links
to the api documention topic on meta for more info.
- Allow revoking keys without deleting them
- Auto-revoke keys after a period of no use (default 6 months)
- Allow multiple keys per user
- Allow attaching a description to each key, for easier auditing
- Log changes to keys in the staff action log
- Move all key management to one place, and improve the UI
Using popups is becoming increasingly rare. Full page redirects are already used on mobile, and for some providers. This commit removes all logic related to popup authentication, leaving only the full page redirect method.

Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
Start tracking the date an api key was last used. This has already been
the case for user_api_keys.
This information can provide us with the ability to automatically expire
unused api keys after N days.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
- Plugin developers using OpenID2.0 should migrate to OAuth2 or OIDC. OpenID2.0 APIs will be removed in v2.4.0
- For sites requiring Yahoo login, it can be implemented using the OpenID Connect plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/103632

Previously we relied on the provider name matching the name of the icon. Now icon names are explicitly set. Plugin providers which do not define an icon will get the default "sign-in-alt" icon
Fixes two issues:
1. Redirecting to an external origin's path after login did not work
2. User would be erroneously redirected to the external origin after logout

If the existing email address for a user ends in `.invalid`, we should take the email address from an authentication payload, and replace the invalid address. This typically happens when we import users from a system without email addresses.
This commit also adds some extensibility so that plugin authenticators can define `always_update_user_email?`
When using the api and you provide an http header based api key any other
auth based information (username, external_id, or user_id) passed in as
query params will not be used and vice versa.
Followup to f03b293e6a
Now you can also make authenticated API requests by passing the
`api_key` and `api_username` in the HTTP header instead of query params.
The new header values are: `Api-key` and `Api-Username`.
Here is an example in cURL:
``` text
curl -i -sS -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/categories" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" \
-H "Api-Key: 7aa202bec1ff70563bc0a3d102feac0a7dd2af96b5b772a9feaf27485f9d31a2" \
-H "Api-Username: system" \
-F "name=7c1c0ed93583cba7124b745d1bd56b32" \
-F "color=49d9e9" \
-F "text_color=f0fcfd"
```
There is also support for `Api-User-Id` and `Api-User-External-Id`
instead of specifying the username along with the key.
Also added some helpful functionality for plugin developers:
- Raises RuntimeException if the auth provider has been registered too late
- Logs use of deprecated parameters
Changes to functionality
- Removed syncing of user metadata including gender, location etc.
These are no longer available to standard Facebook applications.
- Removed the remote 'revoke' functionality. No other providers have
it, and it does not appear to be standard practice in other apps.
- The 'facebook_no_email' event is no longer logged. The system can
cope fine with a missing email address.
Data is migrated to the new user_associated_accounts table.
facebook_user_infos can be dropped once we are confident the data has
been migrated successfully.
A generic implementation of Auth::Authenticator which stores data in the
new UserAssociatedAccount model. This should help significantly reduce the duplicated
logic across different auth providers.
* When an error is raised when checking route constraints, we
can only return true/false which either lets the request
through or return a 404 error. Therefore, we just skip
rate limiting here and let the controller handle the
rate limiting.
At the moment core providers are hard-coded in Javascript, and plugin providers get added to the JS payload at compile time. This refactor means that we only ship enabled providers to the client.
- Remove thin which is no longer supported
- Bypass admin api rate limiting in profile environment
- Admin password was too short
- Run by default in concurrency 1 mode
- A skip bundle assets flag to speed up local testing
