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. Groups have been intentionally omitted from this commit. --- synapse/config/server.py | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) (limited to 'synapse/config/server.py') diff --git a/synapse/config/server.py b/synapse/config/server.py index 147a976485..8dce75c56a 100644 --- a/synapse/config/server.py +++ b/synapse/config/server.py @@ -72,6 +72,19 @@ class ServerConfig(Config): # master, potentially causing inconsistency. self.enable_media_repo = config.get("enable_media_repo", True) + # Whether to require authentication to retrieve profile data (avatars, + # display names) of other users through the client API. + self.require_auth_for_profile_requests = config.get( + "require_auth_for_profile_requests", False, + ) + + # If set to 'True', requires authentication to access the server's + # public rooms directory through the client API, and forbids any other + # homeserver to fetch it via federation. + self.restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users = config.get( + "restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users", False, + ) + # whether to enable search.
