This PR allows invitations to be used when the DiscourseConnect SSO is enabled for a site (`enable_discourse_connect`) and local logins are disabled. Previously invites could not be accepted with SSO enabled simply because we did not have the code paths to handle that logic.
The invitation methods that are supported include:
* Inviting people to groups via email address
* Inviting people to topics via email address
* Using invitation links generated by the Invite Users UI in the /my/invited/pending route
The flow works like this:
1. User visits an invite URL
2. The normal invitation validations (redemptions/expiry) happen at that point
3. We store the invite key in a secure session
4. The user clicks "Accept Invitation and Continue" (see below)
5. The user is redirected to /session/sso then to the SSO provider URL then back to /session/sso_login
6. We retrieve the invite based on the invite key in secure session. We revalidate the invitation. We show an error to the user if it is not valid. An additional check here for invites with an email specified is to check the SSO email matches the invite email
7. If the invite is OK we create the user via the normal SSO methods
8. We redeem the invite and activate the user. We clear the invite key in secure session.
9. If the invite had a topic we redirect the user there, otherwise we redirect to /
Note that we decided for SSO-based invites the `must_approve_users` site setting is ignored, because the invite is a form of pre-approval, and because regular non-staff users cannot send out email invites or generally invite to the forum in this case.
Also deletes some group invite checks as per https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12353
The user and an admin could create multiple email change requests for
the same user. If any of the requests was validated and it became
primary, the other request could not be deleted anymore.
The user interface has been reorganized to show email and link invites
in the same screen. Staff has more control over creating and updating
invites. Bulk invite has also been improved with better explanations.
On the server side, many code paths for email and link invites have
been merged to avoid duplicated logic. The API returns better responses
with more appropriate HTTP status codes.
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.
This moves all the rate limiting for user second factor (based on `params[:second_factor_token]` existing) to the one place, which rate limits by IP and also by username if a user is found.
This adds a new table UserNotificationSchedules which stores monday-friday start and ends times that each user would like to receive notifications (with a Boolean enabled to remove the use of the schedule). There is then a background job that runs every day and creates do_not_disturb_timings for each user with an enabled notification schedule. The job schedules timings 2 days in advance. The job is designed so that it can be run at any point in time, and it will not create duplicate records.
When a users saves their notification schedule, the schedule processing service will run and schedule do_not_disturb_timings. If the user should be in DND due to their schedule, the user will immediately be put in DND (message bus publishes this state).
The UI for a user's notification schedule is in user -> preferences -> notifications. By default every day is 8am - 5pm when first enabled.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
* DEV: Add framework for filtered plugin registers
Plugins often need to add values to a list, and we need to filter those lists at runtime to ignore values from disabled plugins. This commit provides a re-usable way to do that, which should make it easier to add new registers in future, and also reduce repeated code.
Follow-up commits will migrate existing registers to use this new system
* DEV: Migrate user and group custom field APIs to plugin registry
This gives us a consistent system for checking plugin enabled state, so we are repeating less logic. API changes are backwards compatible
This commit is for a frequently requested task on meta so that only 1
API call is needed instead of 3!
In order to create a user via the api and not have them receive an
activation email you can pass in the `active=true` flag. This prevents
sending an email, but it is only half of the solution and puts the db in
a weird state where it has an active user with an unconfirmed email.
This commit fixes that and ensures that if the `active=true` flag is set
the user's email is also marked as confirmed.
This change only applies to admins using the API.

* DEPRECATION: Remove support for api creds in query params
This commit removes support for api credentials in query params except
for a few whitelisted routes like rss/json feeds and the handle_mail
route.
Several tests were written to valid these changes, but the bulk of the
spec changes are just switching them over to use header based auth so
that they will pass without changing what they were actually testing.
Original commit that notified admins this change was coming was created
over 3 months ago: 2db2003187
* fix tests
* Also allow iCalendar feeds
Co-authored-by: Rafael dos Santos Silva <xfalcox@gmail.com>
This is so users with huge amount of bookmarks do not have to wait a long time to see results.
* Add a bookmark list and list serializer to server-side to be able to handle paging and load more URL
* Use load-more component to load more bookmark items, 20 at a time in user activity
* Change the way current user is loaded for bookmark ember models because it was breaking/losing resolvedTimezone when loading more items
* FEATURE: add setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to auto approve users
This commit adds a new site setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to
auto approve users based on their email address domain.
Note that if a domain already exists in `email_domains_whitelist` then
`auto_approve_email_domains` needs to be duplicated there as well,
since users won’t be able to register with email address that is
not allowed in `email_domains_whitelist`.
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml

On some sites when bootstrapping communities it is helpful to bootstrap
with a "light weight" invite code.
Use the site setting `invite_code` to set a global invite code.
In this case the administrator can share the code with
a community which is very easy to remember and then anyone who has
that code can easily register accounts.
People without the invite code are not allowed account registration.
Global invite codes are less secure than indevidual codes, in that they
tend to leak in the community however in some cases when starting a brand
new community the security guarantees of invites are not needed.
Introduces `/user-cards.json`
Also allows the client-side user model to be passed an existing promise when loading, so that multiple models can share the same AJAX request

* when the user creates a TOTP second factor method we want
to show them a nicer error if they forget to add a name
or the code from the app, instead of the param missing error
* also add a client-side check for this and for security key name,
no need to bother the server if we can help it
Anonymous users could query the invite json and see counts and
summaries which is not allowed in the UX of Discourse.
This commit has those endpoints return a 403 unless the user is
allowed to invite.
Now if a group is visible but unmentionable, users can search for it
when composing by typing with `@`, but it will be rendered without the
grey background color.
It will also no longer pop up a JIT warning saying "You are about to
mention X people" because the group will not be mentioned.
Adds a new route `/u/{username}/card.json`, which has a reduced number of fields. This change is behind a hidden site setting, so we can test compatibility before rolling out.
The ROTP gem is only used in a very small amount of places in the app, we don't need to globally require it.
Also set the Addressable gem to not have a specific version range, as it has not been a problem yet.
Some slight refactoring of UserSecondFactor here too to use SecondFactorManager to avoid code repetition
API keys are now only visible when first created. After that, only the first four characters are stored in the database for identification, along with an sha256 hash of the full key. This makes key usage easier to audit, and ensures attackers would not have access to the live site in the event of a database leak.
This makes the merge lower risk, because we have some time to revert if needed. Once the change is confirmed to be working, we will add a second commit to drop the `key` column.
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
* Add timezone to user_options table
* Also migrate existing timezone values from UserCustomField,
which is where the discourse-calendar plugin is storing them
* Allow user to change their core timezone from Profile
* Auto guess & set timezone on login & invite accept & signup
* Serialize user_options.timezone for group members. this is so discourse-group-timezones can access the core user timezone, as it is being removed in discourse-calendar.
* Annotate user_option with timezone
* Validate timezone values
* Fix user title logic when badge name customized
* Fix an issue where a user's title was not considered a badge granted title when the user used a badge for their title and the badge name was customized. this affected the effectiveness of revoke_ungranted_titles! which only operates on badge_granted_titles.
* When a user's title is set now it is considered a badge_granted_title if the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride is the same as the title
* When a user's badge is revoked we now also revoke their title if the user's title matches the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride
* Add a user history log when the title is revoked to remove confusion about why titles are revoked
* Add granted_title_badge_id to user_profile, now when we set badge_granted_title on a user profile when updating a user's title based on a badge, we also remember which badge matched the title
* When badge name (or custom text) changes update titles of users in a background job
* When the name of a badge changes, or in the case of system badges when their custom translation text changes, then we need to update the title of all corresponding users who have a badge_granted_title and matching granted_title_badge_id. In the case of system badges we need to first get the proper badge ID based on the translation key e.g. badges.regular.name
* Add migration to backfill all granted_title_badge_ids for both normal badge name titles and titles using custom badge text.
This feature amends it so instead of using one challenge and honeypot
statically per site we have a rotating honeypot and challenge value which
changes every hour.
This means you must grab a fresh copy of honeypot and challenge value once
an hour or account registration will be rejected.
We also now cycle the value of the challenge when after successful account
registration forcing an extra call to hp.json between account registrations
Client has been made aware of these changes.
Additionally this contains a JavaScript workaround for:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=987293
This is client side code that is specific to Chrome user agent and swaps
a PASSWORD type honeypot with a TEXT type honeypot.
Adds 2 factor authentication method via second factor security keys over [web authn](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API).
Allows a user to authenticate a second factor on login, login-via-email, admin-login, and change password routes. Adds registration area within existing user second factor preferences to register multiple security keys. Supports both external (yubikey) and built-in (macOS/android fingerprint readers).
This fixes the problem where if a route ends with a dynamic segment and the segment contains a period e.g. `my.name`, `name` is interpreted as the format. This applies a default format constraints `/(json|html)/` on all routes. If you'd like a route to have a different format constraints, you can do something like this:
```ruby
get "your-route" => "your_controlller#method", constraints: { format: /(rss|xml)/ }
#or
get "your-route" => "your_controlller#method", constraints: { format: :xml }
```
Adds a second factor landing page that centralizes a user's second factor configuration.
This contains both TOTP and Backup, and also allows multiple TOTP tokens to be registered and organized by a name. Access to this page is authenticated via password, and cached for 30 minutes via a secure session.
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
