If you're a webapp running the fallback in an iframe, you can't set set a
window.onAuthDone function. Let's post a message back to window.opener instead.
Allows delegating the password auth to an external module. This also
moves the LDAP auth to using this system, allowing it to be removed from
the synapse tree entirely in the future.
- properly parse return values of ldap bind() calls
- externalize authentication methods
- change control flow to be more error-resilient
- unbind ldap connections in many places
- improve log messages and loglevels
The storage function `_get_events_txn` was removed everywhere except
from this background reindex. The function was removed due to it being
(almost) completely unused while also being large and complex.
Therefore, instead of resurrecting `_get_events_txn` we manually
reimplement the bits that are needed directly.
Some streams will occaisonally advance their positions without actually
having any new rows to send over federation. Currently this means that
the token will not advance on the workers, leading to them repeatedly
sending a slightly out of date token. This in turns requires the master
to hit the DB to check if there are any new rows, rather than hitting
the no op logic where we check if the given token matches the current
token.
This commit changes the API to always return an entry if the position
for a stream has changed, allowing workers to advance their tokens
correctly.
When a server sends a third party invite another server may be the one
that the inviting user registers with. In this case it is that remote
server that will issue an actual invitation, and wants to do it "in the
name of" the original invitee. However, the new proper invite will not
be signed by the original server, and thus other servers would reject
the invite if it was seen as coming from the original user.
To fix this, a special case has been added to the auth rules whereby
another server can send an invite "in the name of" another server's
user, so long as that user had previously issued a third party invite
that is now being accepted.
