Captcha can be enabled for this web client / home server. This file explains how to do that.
 | 
						|
The captcha mechanism used is Google's ReCaptcha. This requires API keys from Google.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Getting keys
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
Requires a public/private key pair from:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setting Private ReCaptcha Key
 | 
						|
-----------------------------
 | 
						|
The private key is a config option on the home server config. If it is not 
 | 
						|
visible, you can generate it via --generate-config. Set the following value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  recaptcha_private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
In addition, you MUST enable captchas via:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  enable_registration_captcha: true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setting Public ReCaptcha Key
 | 
						|
----------------------------
 | 
						|
The web client will look for the global variable webClientConfig for config 
 | 
						|
options. You should put your ReCaptcha public key there like so:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
webClientConfig = {
 | 
						|
    useCaptcha: true,
 | 
						|
    recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This should be put in webclient/config.js which is already .gitignored, rather 
 | 
						|
than in the web client source files. You MUST set useCaptcha to true else a
 | 
						|
ReCaptcha widget will not be generated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configuring IP used for auth
 | 
						|
----------------------------
 | 
						|
The ReCaptcha API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
 | 
						|
captcha is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
 | 
						|
it may be required to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header instead of the origin
 | 
						|
IP address. This can be configured as an option on the home server like so:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  captcha_ip_origin_is_x_forwarded: true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
