From c0e0740bef0db661abce352afaf6c958e276f11d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Hodgson Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 18:26:56 +0100 Subject: add options to require an access_token to GET /profile and /publicRooms on CS API (#5083) This commit adds two config options: * `restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users` Requires auth to fetch the public rooms directory through the CS API and disables fetching it through the federation API. * `require_auth_for_profile_requests` When set to `true`, requires that requests to `/profile` over the CS API are authenticated, and only returns the user's profile if the requester shares a room with the profile's owner, as per MSC1301. MSC1301 also specifies a behaviour for federation (only returning the profile if the server asking for it shares a room with the profile's owner), but that's currently really non-trivial to do in a not too expensive way. Next step is writing down a MSC that allows a HS to specify which user sent the profile query. In this implementation, Synapse won't send a profile query over federation if it doesn't believe it already shares a room with the profile's owner, though.
