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.
A window of 1 means the token is checked against current time slot T
as well as at time slot T-1 and T+1.
A time slot is 30 seconds by default in Authelia.
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.
Previously, logs were not very friendly and it was hard to track
a request because of the lack of request ID.
Now every log message comes with a header containing: method, path
request ID, session ID, IP of the user, date.
Moreover, the configurations displayed in the logs have their secrets
hidden from this commit.
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.
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.
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
