Uses the crypt() function to do password encryption. This function handles
several schemes such as: MD5, Blowfish, SHA1, SHA2.
SHA-512 is used in Authelia for best security.
The algorithm is fully described in
https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
The 'crypt3' npm package has been added as a dependency to use the crypt()
function. The package needs to be compiled in order to call the c function,
that's why python, make and C++ compiler are installed temporarily in the
Docker image.
These are 2 measures for improving security of cookies. One is used to
not send the cookie over HTTP (only HTTPS) and the other tells the browser to
disallow client-side code accessing the cookie.
One can now customize the default authentication method for all sub-domains,
i.e., either 'two_factor' or 'basic_auth' and define specific authentication
method per sub-domain.
For example, one can specify that every sub-domain must be authenticated with
two factor except one sub-domain that must be authenticated with basic auth.
One can now plug its own SMTP server to send notifications
for identity validation and password reset requests.
Filesystem has been removed from the template configuration file
since even tests now use mail catcher (the fake webmail) to
retrieve the email and the confirmation link.
ACLs can now be defined by subdomain AND resource using pattern matching
with regular expressions.
It allows a very fine-grained access control to backend resources.
[Note] For using example environmnent, user must update its /etc/hosts with
new subdomains updated in README.
Before this fix, the application was simply crashing during execution
when connection to redis was failing.
Now, it is correctly handled with failing promises and logs have been
enabled to clearly see the problem
Before this fix, the redirection URL was stored in the user session,
but this has a big drawback since user could open several pages in
browser and thus override the redirection URL leading the user to
be incorrectly redirected.
