This is generally used for bootstrapping a Synapse +instance with administrator accounts. + +To authenticate yourself to the server, you will need both the shared secret +(``registration_shared_secret`` in the homeserver configuration), and a +one-time nonce. If the registration shared secret is not configured, this API +is not enabled. + +To fetch the nonce, you need to request one from the API:: + + > GET /_matrix/client/r0/admin/register + + < {"nonce": "thisisanonce"} + +Once you have the nonce, you can make a ``POST`` to the same URL with a JSON +body containing the nonce, username, password, whether they are an admin +(optional, False by default), and a HMAC digest of the content. + +As an example:: + + > POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/register + > { + "nonce": "thisisanonce", + "username": "pepper_roni", + "password": "pizza", + "admin": true, + "mac": "mac_digest_here" + } + + < { + "access_token": "token_here", + "user_id": "@pepper_roni@test", + "home_server": "test", + "device_id": "device_id_here" + } + +The MAC is the hex digest output of the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm, with the key being +the shared secret and the content being the nonce, user, password, and either +the string "admin" or "notadmin", each separated by NULs. For an example of +generation in Python:: + + import hmac, hashlib + + def generate_mac(nonce, user, password, admin=False): + + mac = hmac.new( + key=shared_secret, + digestmod=hashlib.sha1, + ) + + mac.update(nonce.encode('utf8')) + mac.update(b"\x00") + mac.update(user.encode('utf8')) + mac.update(b"\x00") + mac.update(password.encode('utf8')) + mac.update(b"\x00") + mac.update(b"admin" if admin else b"notadmin") + + return mac.hexdigest() diff --git a/docs/workers.rst b/docs/workers.rst index 1d521b9ec5..c5b37c3ded 100644 --- a/docs/workers.rst +++ b/docs/workers.rst @@ -206,6 +206,10 @@ Handles client API endpoints.
