For example, if you set your <code>server_name</code> -to <code>example.com</code> (so that your user names look like <code>@user:example.com</code>), -other servers will try to connect to yours at <code>https://example.com:8448/</code>.</p> -<p>Delegation is a Matrix feature allowing a homeserver admin to retain a -<code>server_name</code> of <code>example.com</code> so that user IDs, room aliases, etc continue -to look like <code>*:example.com</code>, whilst having federation traffic routed -to a different server and/or port (e.g. <code>synapse.example.com:443</code>).</p> -<h2 id="well-known-delegation"><a class="header" href="#well-known-delegation">.well-known delegation</a></h2> -<p>To use this method, you need to be able to alter the -<code>server_name</code> 's https server to serve the <code>/.well-known/matrix/server</code> -URL. Having an active server (with a valid TLS certificate) serving your -<code>server_name</code> domain is out of the scope of this documentation.</p> -<p>The URL <code>https://&lt;server_name&gt;/.well-known/matrix/server</code> should -return a JSON structure containing the key <code>m.server</code> like so:</p> -<pre><code class="language-json">{ - &quot;m.server&quot;: &quot;&lt;synapse.server.name&gt;[:&lt;yourport&gt;]&quot; -} -</code></pre> -<p>In our example, this would mean that URL <code>https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server</code> -should return:</p> -<pre><code class="language-json">{ - &quot;m.server&quot;: &quot;synapse.example.com:443&quot; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Note, specifying a port is optional. If no port is specified, then it defaults -to 8448.</p> -<p>With .well-known delegation, federating servers will check for a valid TLS -certificate for the delegated hostname (in our example: <code>synapse.example.com</code>).</p> -<h2 id="srv-dns-record-delegation"><a class="header" href="#srv-dns-record-delegation">SRV DNS record delegation</a></h2> -<p>It is also possible to do delegation using a SRV DNS record. However, that is -considered an advanced topic since it's a bit complex to set up, and <code>.well-known</code> -delegation is already enough in most cases.</p> -<p>However, if you really need it, you can find some documentation on how such a -record should look like and how Synapse will use it in <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest#resolving-server-names">the Matrix -specification</a>.</p> -<h2 id="delegation-faq"><a class="header" href="#delegation-faq">Delegation FAQ</a></h2> -<h3 id="when-do-i-need-delegation"><a class="header" href="#when-do-i-need-delegation">When do I need delegation?</a></h3> -<p>If your homeserver's APIs are accessible on the default federation port (8448) -and the domain your <code>server_name</code> points to, you do not need any delegation.</p> -<p>For instance, if you registered <code>example.com</code> and pointed its DNS A record at a -fresh server, you could install Synapse on that host, giving it a <code>server_name</code> -of <code>example.com</code>, and once a reverse proxy has been set up to proxy all requests -sent to the port <code>8448</code> and serve TLS certificates for <code>example.com</code>, you -wouldn't need any delegation set up.</p> -<p><strong>However</strong>, if your homeserver's APIs aren't accessible on port 8448 and on the -domain <code>server_name</code> points to, you will need to let other servers know how to -find it using delegation.</p> -<h3 id="do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port"><a class="header" href="#do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port">Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?</a></h3> -<p>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.</p> -<p>See <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for information on setting up a -reverse proxy.</p> -<h3 id="do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy"><a class="header" href="#do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy">Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?</a></h3> -<p>This is no longer necessary. If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your -TLS traffic, then you can set <code>no_tls: True</code> in the Synapse config.</p> -<p>In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is to populate a legacy -<code>tls_fingerprints</code> 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 <code>matrix.org</code>, which -is running a modern version of Synapse.</p> -<h3 id="do-i-need-the-same-certificate-for-the-client-and-federation-port"><a class="header" href="#do-i-need-the-same-certificate-for-the-client-and-federation-port">Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?</a></h3> -<p>No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates, -particularly if you are using a reverse proxy.</p> - - </main> - - <nav class="nav-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> - <!-- Mobile navigation buttons --> - - <a rel="prev" href="turn-howto.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> - </a> - - - - <a rel="next" href="upgrade.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> - </a> - - - <div style="clear: both"></div> - </nav> - </div> - </div> - - <nav class="nav-wide-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> - - <a rel="prev" href="turn-howto.html" class="nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> - </a> - - - - <a rel="next" href="upgrade.html" class="nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> - <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> - </a> - - </nav> - - </div> - - - - - - - - - <script type="text/javascript"> - window.playground_copyable = true; - </script> - - - - - - <script src="elasticlunr.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="mark.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="searcher.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - - - <script src="clipboard.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="highlight.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - <script src="book.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> - - <!-- Custom JS scripts --> - - <script type="text/javascript" src="docs/website_files/table-of-contents.js"></script> - - - - - </body> -</html> \ No newline at end of file
