Normally, when `discovery` is enabled,
`id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` comes from the OpenID Discovery
Document (`/.well-known/openid-configuration`). If nothing was
specified, we default to supporting `RS256` in the downstream usage.
This PR just adds support for adding a default/overriding the the
discovered value [just like we do for other things like the
`token_endpoint`](1525a3b4d4/docs/usage/configuration/config_documentation.md (oidc_providers)),
etc.
Document consequences of replacing secrets. The covered config options
are `registration_shared_secret`, `macaroon_secret_key`, `form_secret`
and `worker_replication_secret`.
Even though I looked at the source code to check the added documentation
is right, I would appreciate additional verification of the statements
made.
In an hand-wavy attempt at classifying how bad the consequences of
secret replacement are, I added some explanations as warnings and others
as regular paragraphs.
Closes#17971

The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
- Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
- End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
- Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the

In the current `attribute_requirements` implementation it is only
possible to allow exact matching attribute values. Multiple allowed
values for one attribute are not possible as described in #13238.

The existing `email.smtp_host` config option is used for two distinct
purposes: it is resolved into the IP address to connect to, and used to
(request via SNI and) validate the server's certificate if TLS is
enabled. This new option allows specifying a different name for the
second purpose.
This is especially helpful, if `email.smtp_host` isn't a global FQDN,
but something that resolves only locally (e.g. "localhost" to connect
through the loopback interface, or some other internally routed name),
that one cannot get a valid certificate for.
Alternatives would of course be to specify a global FQDN as
`email.smtp_host`, or to disable TLS entirely, both of which might be
undesirable, depending on the SMTP server configuration.
Another config option on my quest to a `*_path` variant for every
secret. This time it’s `macaroon_secret_key_path`.
Reading secrets from files has the security advantage of separating the secrets from the config. It also simplifies secrets management in Kubernetes. Also useful to NixOS users.
Adds the option to load the Redis password from a file, instead of
giving it in the config directly. The code is similar to how it’s done
for `registration_shared_secret_path`. I changed the example in the
documentation to represent the best practice regarding the handling of
secrets.
Reading secrets from files has the security advantage of separating the
secrets from the config. It also simplifies secrets management in
Kubernetes.
This is to address an issue in which `m.presence` results on initial
sync are not returning entries of users who are currently offline.
The original behaviour was from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/1535
This change is useful for applications that use the
presence system for tracking user profile information/updates (e.g.
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/16992 or for profile status
messages).
This is gated behind a new configuration option to avoid performance
impact for applications that don't need this, as a pragmatic solution
for now.
A simple change to update the docs where default values were missing.

This PR ports the logic from the
[synapse_auto_accept_invite](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite)
module into synapse.
I went with the naive approach of injecting the "module" next to where
third party modules are currently loaded. If there is a better/preferred
way to handle this, I'm all ears. It wasn't obvious to me if there was a
better location to add this logic that would cleanly apply to all
incoming invite events.
Relies on https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17166 to fix linter
errors.
This is to allow clients to query the configured federation whitelist.
Disabled by default.

Prior to this PR, if a request to create a public (public as in
published to the rooms directory) room violated the room list
publication rules set in the
[config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#room_list_publication_rules),
the request to create the room was denied and the room was not created.
This PR changes the behavior such that when a request to create a room
published to the directory violates room list publication rules, the
room is still created but the room is not published to the directory.
