This PR doesn't change any behavior, but just removes code that wasn't in use. This is a pretty dangerous place to change, since it gets called during user's registration. At the same time the refactoring is very straightforward, it's clear that this code wasn't doing any work (it still needs to be double-checked during review though). Also, the test coverage of UserNameSuggester is good.
User API keys (not the same thing as admin API keys) are currently
leaked to redis when rate limits are applied to them since redis is the
backend for rate limits in Discourse and the API keys are included in
the redis keys that are used to track usage of user API keys in the last
24 hours.
This commit stops the leak by using a SHA-256 representation of the user
API key instead of the key itself to form the redis key.
We don't need to manually delete the existing redis keys that contain
unhashed user API keys because they're not long-lived and will be
automatically deleted within 48 hours after this commit is deployed to
your Discourse instance.
When the Forever option is selected for suspending a user, the user is suspended for 1000 years. Without customizing the site’s text, this time period is displayed to the user in the suspension email that is sent to the user, and if the user attempts to log back into the site. Telling someone that they have been suspended for 1000 years seems likely to come across as a bad attempt at humour.
This PR special case messages when a user suspended or silenced forever.
If user had a staged account and logged in using a third party service
a different username was suggested. This change will try to use the
username given by the authentication provider first, then the current
staged username and last suggest a new one.
We have found when receiving and posting inbound emails to the handle_mail route, it is better to POST the payload as a base64 encoded string to avoid strange encoding issues. This introduces a new param of `email_encoded` and maintains the legacy param of email, showing a deprecation warning. Eventually the old param of `email` will be dropped and the new one `email_encoded` will be the only way to handle_mail.
Previously we were checking truthiness in some places, and `== true` in
others. That can lead to some inconsistent UX where the interface says
the email is valid, but account creation fails.
This commit ensures values are boolean when set, and raises an error for
other value types.
If this safety check is triggered, it means the specific auth provider
needs to be updated to pass booleans.
If no email is provided, email_valid should be set false, so that
Discourse can prompt the user for an email and verify it.
This fixes signups via twitter for accounts with no email address.
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
All the data we need for the `info` and `credentials` auth hash
are obtained via the user info API, not the JWT. Using and verifying
the JWT can fail due to clock skew, so let's skip it completely.
PR opened to fix the upstream issue at https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2/pull/392
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
This commit adds an additional find_user_by_email hook to ManagedAuthenticator so that GitHub login can continue to support secondary email addresses
The github_user_infos table will be dropped in a follow-up commit.
This is the last core authenticator to be migrated to ManagedAuthenticator 🎉
This consolidates logic used to match routes in ApiKey, UserApiKey and DefaultCurrentUserProvider. This reduces duplicated logic, and will allow UserApiKeysScope to easily re-use the parameter matching logic from ApiKeyScope
In some cases Discourse admins may opt for sessions not to persist when a
browser is closed.
This is particularly useful in healthcare and education settings where
computers are shared among multiple workers.
By default `persistent_sessions` site setting is enabled, to opt out you
must disable the site setting.
* Added scopes UI
* Create scopes when creating a new API key
* Show scopes on the API key show route
* Apply scopes on API requests
* Extend scopes from plugins
* Add missing scopes. A mapping can be associated with multiple controller actions
* Only send scopes if the use global key option is disabled. Use the discourse plugin registry to add new scopes
* Add not null validations and index for api_key_id
* Annotate model
* DEV: Move default mappings to ApiKeyScope
* Remove unused attribute and improve UI for existing keys
* Support multiple parameters separated by a comma
Since this is rare, we don't want to check for
`Discourse.pg_readonly_mode?` on every request since we have to reach
for Redis. Instead, just rescue the error here.
This refactors default_current_user_provider in a few ways:
- Introduce a generic `api_parameter_allowed?` method which checks for whitelisted routes/formats
- Only read the api_key parameter on allowed routes. It is now completely ignored on other routes (previously it would raise a 403)
- Start reading user_api_key parameter on allowed routes
- Refactor tests as end-end integration tests
A plugin API for PARAMETER_API_PATTERNS will be added soon
Trigger an event for plugins to consume when a user session is refreshed.
This allows external auth to be notified about account activity, and be
able to take action such as use oauth refresh tokens to keep oauth
tokens valid.
* DEPRECATION: Remove support for api creds in query params
This commit removes support for api credentials in query params except
for a few whitelisted routes like rss/json feeds and the handle_mail
route.
Several tests were written to valid these changes, but the bulk of the
spec changes are just switching them over to use header based auth so
that they will pass without changing what they were actually testing.
Original commit that notified admins this change was coming was created
over 3 months ago: 2db2003187
* fix tests
* Also allow iCalendar feeds

Previously we would consider a user "present" and "last seen" if the
browser window was visible.
This has many edge cases, you could be considered present and around for
days just by having a window open and no screensaver on.
Instead we now also check that you either clicked, transitioned around app
or scrolled the page in the last minute in combination with window
visibility
This will lead to more reliable notifications via email and reduce load of
message bus for cases where a user walks away from the terminal
* DEV: Replace User.unstage and User#unstage API with User#unstage!
Quoting @SamSaffron:
> User.unstage mixes concerns of both unstaging users and updating params which is fragile/surprising.
> u.unstage destroys notifications and raises a user_unstaged event prior to the user becoming unstaged and the user object being saved.
User#unstage! no longer updates user attributes and saves the object before triggering the `user_unstaged` event.
* Update one more spec
* Assign attributes after unstaging
As another step toward fully dreprecating query parameter authentication
in API requests this change prevents an admin dashboard message from
showing up if using a whitelisted route like rss feeds or the
mail-receiver route.
* This PR implements the scheduling and notification system for bookmark reminders. Every 5 minutes a schedule runs to check any reminders that need to be sent before now, limited to **300** reminders at a time. Any leftover reminders will be sent in the next run. This is to avoid having to deal with fickle sidekiq and reminders in the far-flung future, which would necessitate having a background job anyway to clean up any missing `enqueue_at` reminders.
* If a reminder is sent its `reminder_at` time is cleared and the `reminder_last_sent_at` time is filled in. Notifications are only user-level notifications for now.
* All JavaScript and frontend code related to displaying the bookmark reminder notification is contained here. The reminder functionality is now re-enabled in the bookmark modal as well.
* This PR also implements the "Remind me next time I am at my desktop" bookmark reminder functionality. When the user is on a mobile device they are able to select this option. When they choose this option we set a key in Redis saying they have a pending at desktop reminder. The next time they change devices we check if the new device is desktop, and if it is we send reminders using a DistributedMutex. There is also a job to ensure consistency of these reminders in Redis (in case Redis drops the ball) and the at desktop reminders expire after 20 days.
* Also in this PR is a fix to delete all Bookmarks for a user via `UserDestroyer`
Due to unicorn env object recycling request.ip could point at the wrong
ip address by the time defer block is called. This usually would happen
under load.
This also avoids keeping the entire request object as referenced by the
closure.
This is not used in core or official plugins, and has been printing a deprecation notice since v2.3.0beta4. All OpenID 2.0 code and dependencies have been dropped. The user_open_ids table remains for now, in case anyone has missed the deprecation notice, and needs to migrate their data.

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.
