This is going to be the v4.
Expected improvements:
- More reliable due to static typing.
- Bump of performance.
- Improvement of logging.
- Authelia can be shipped as a single binary.
- Will likely work on ARM architecture.
* Removal of the Redirect header sent by Authelia /api/verify endpoint.
* Authelia does not consume Host header anymore but X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host
to compute the link sent in identity verification emails.
* Authelia used Host header as the application name for U2F authentication but it's now using
X-Forwarded-* headers.
Authelia was using links with href="#" that changed the URL when clicked
on. Therefore, this commit removes the href property and apply link style
to tags without href property.
Displaying only one option at 2FA stage will allow to add more options
like DUO push or OAuth.
The user can switch to other option and in this case the option is
remembered so that next time, the user will see the same option. The
latest option is considered as the prefered option by Authelia.
Authelia client uses hash router instead of browser router in order to work
with Kubernetes nginx-ingress-controller. This is also better for users having
old browsers.
This commit is breaking because it requires to change the configuration of the
proxy to include the # in the URL of the login portal.
In order to redirect the user after authentication, Authelia uses
rd query parameter provided by the proxy. However an attacker could
use phishing to make the user be redirected to a bad domain. In order
to avoid the user to be redirected to a bad location, Authelia now
verifies the redirection URL is under the protected domain.
Use the polyfill version of u2f API provided by Google.
https://github.com/mastahyeti/u2f-api
This polyfill is at least compatible with Chrome and
Firefox after enabling the U2F support.
[HOWTO] Enable U2F in Firefox >= 57:
Navigate to 'about:config' and search for 'u2f' option.
Double-click on the line to toggle the option.
Currently notifications reflow the document which causes the interface
to jump twice which can be frustrating if you're trying to click
something.
This change makes the notification appear at the top of the form as
such:
A link to U2F explains what is a U2F security key and how they are used.
A tooltip on U2F device registration link is telling the user he needs a
security key to register.
The u2f-api package does not use the official u2f script provided by Yubikey.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by Firefox. This change reintroduces the
official u2f script.
This URL is used when user access the authentication domain without providing
the 'redirect' query parameter. In that case, Authelia does not know
where to redirect the user.
If the parameter is defined, Authelia can redirect the user to a default page
when no redirect parameter is provided.
When user is already authenticated and tries to access the authentication
domain, the "already logged in" page is rendered and it now tells the user he
is to be redirected in few seconds and uses this URL to redirect.
This parameter is optional. If it is not provided, there is only a notification
message at the end of the authentication process, as before, and the user is
not redirected when visiting the authentication domain while already
authenticated.
Now, /verify can return 401 or 403 depending on the user authentication.
Every public API endpoints and pages return 200 with error message in
JSON body or 401 if the user is not authorized.
This policy makes it complicated for an attacker to know what is the source of
the failure and hide server-side bugs (not returning 500), bugs being potential
threats.
Client and server now have their own tsconfig so that the transpilation is only
done on the part that is being modified.
It also allows faster transpilation since tests are now excluded from tsconfig.
They are compiled by ts-node during unit tests execution.
