Constants should always be only assigned once. The logical OR assignment
of a constant is a relic of the past before we used zeitwerk for
autoloading and had bugs where a file could be loaded twice resulting in
constant redefinition warnings.
Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
By default, secure sessions expire after 1 hour.
For OAuth authentication it should expire at the same time when the authentication cookie expires - `SiteSetting.maximum_session_age.hours`.
It is possible that the forum will not have persistent sessions, based on `persistent_sessions` site setting. In that case, with next username and password authentication we need to reset information about OAuth.
Bug introduced in this PR - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.
In this PR we introduced `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` setting https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27506
When it is set to false and the user is authenticated via OAuth, then we should not enforce the 2fa configuration.
A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.

This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
When a user signs up via an external auth method, a new link is added to the signup modal which allows them to connect an existing Discourse account. This will only happen if:
- There is at least 1 other auth method available
and
- The current auth method permits users to disconnect/reconnect their accounts themselves
This handles a few edge cases which are extremely rare (due to the UI layout), but still technically possible:
- Ensure users are authenticated before attempting association.
- Add a message and logic for when a user already has an association for a given auth provider.
Plugins listening on the `before_auth` callback can interact with the request object and access data like the user agent or the remote IP address. We'll later store this data in the user record, but it might not exist at this point if we're authenticating a new account.
This allows plugins to store/modify things in the session (e.g. the destination_url). This change is backwards compatible with existing plugins. If they do not specify a third argument, they will just be passed the first two.
For 'local logins', the UX for staged users is designed to be identical to unregistered users. However, staged users logging in via external auth were being automatically unstaged, and skipping the registration/invite flow. In the past this made sense because the registration/invite flows didn't work perfectly with external auth. Now, both registration and invites work well with external auth, so it's best to leave the 'unstage' logic to those endpoints.
This problem was particularly noticeable when using the 'bulk invite' feature to invite users with pre-configured User Fields. In that situation, staged user accounts are used to preserve the user field data.
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.
- Display reason for validation error when logging in via an authenticator
- Fix email validation handling for 'Discourse SSO', and add a spec
Previously, validation errors (e.g. blocked or already-taken emails) would raise a generic error with no useful information.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
Additionally correctly handle cookie path for authentication_data
There were two bugs that exposed an interesting case where two discourse
instances hosted across two subfolder installs in the same domain
with oauth may clash and cause strange redirection on first login:
Log in to example.com/forum1. authentication_data cookie is set with path /
On the first redirection, the current authentication_data cookie is not unset.
Log in to example.com/forum2. In this case, the authentication_data cookie
is already set from forum1 - the initial page load will incorrectly redirect
the user to the redirect URL from the already-stored cookie, to /forum1.
This removes this issue by:
* Setting the cookie for the correct path, and not having it on root
* Correctly removing the cookie on first login
Attempt 2, with more test.

* 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
When using the login confirmation screen, the referrer URL is `/auth/{provider}`. That means that the user is redirected back to the confirmation screen after logging in, even though login was successful. This is very confusing. Instead, they should be redirected to the homepage.
We like to stay as close as possible to latest with rubocop cause the cops
get better.
This update required some code changes, specifically the default is to avoid
explicit returns where implicit is done
Also this renames a few rules
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.

Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This displays more useful messages for the most common issues we see:
- CSRF (when the user switches browser)
- Invalid IAT (when the server clock is wrong)
- OAuth::Unauthorized for OAuth1 providers, when the credentials are incorrect
This commit also stops earlier for disabled authenticators. Now we stop at the request phase, rather than the callback phase.
This feature (when enabled) will allow for invite_only sites to require
external authentication before they can redeem an invite.
- Created hidden site setting to toggle this
- Enables sending invites with local logins disabled
- OAuth button added to invite form
- Requires OAuth email address to match invite email address
- Prevents redeeming invite if OAuth authentication fails
