FWIW, this is different from what /keys/claim
and /keys/query
do. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. /keys/claim
and /keys/query
list the homeservers for which the request failed, rather individual requests.

This is intentional - sorry for not pointing it out explicitly. I thought that it would be good to allow homeserver implementations to refuse to serve the status of specific accounts while still providing this bit of information for other accounts. I'm happy to change this if people think it would be better to just copy what /keys/...
does.
Synapse implementation: matrix-org/synapse#12001 (added to the PR's description) |
@babolivier Thanks for linking the implementation. Could I ask whether it has been used in any deployments? |
Not as is. A similar feature exists in the fork of Synapse used by the French government deployment (matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#46), which this MSC is based on with a few adjustments (the initial intent of this MSC is to mainline this feature, though as noted in the introduction it also addresses other issues in the ecosystem).

I think an alternative to this proposal is to do one or both of the following:
- Add error codes to the existing
/profile
endpoint, e.g.404
withM_DEACTIVATED
orM_DOES_NOT_EXIST
. - Add a bulk query profile endpoint.
Was this considered?

Sort of, except that one of the requirements I'm working with (which I haven't mentioned in the MSC) is that the response needs to be easily extensible. As mentioned in this comment, this is a port of a feature used in the Tchap infrastructure. That infrastructure uses Synapse's account validity (which isn't part of the spec and imo doesn't really have a place in there), and uses this feature to also figure out whether a user is expired (a second step of the Synapse work will be adding a config flag to Synapse to optionally include account validity status to this endpoint's response). As far as I can tell, none of the alternatives you've mentioned offer this kind of extensibility.

Also, after giving it some more thought, it feels quite wrong to me to use the profile endpoint for information that's not profile-related.

How would a user interact with non-existent users? You can't make a room to them, I don't think. I'm failing to see when this would come up in a client!

A common use case would be trying to start a DM using an MXID: if the user is on a remote homeserver the only way to know if the MXID maps to an existing user is trying to retrieve extra data on them and see if it works, in a kinda hacky way. Currently (iirc) Element clients do this by trying to retrieve the user's profile and displaying a warning if no profile could be found, but that doesn't necessarily indicate the user doesn't exist.

Basically this is what I mean:
Peek.2022-02-16.17-45.mp4
Note that in this capture "User [...] does not exist" appears but it looks like Element added it given this is the actual response from Synapse on the profile request:
{"errcode":"M_NOT_FOUND","error":"Profile was not found"}
proposals/3720-account-status.md
Outdated
This endpoint takes a `user_id` query parameter indicating which user account(s) | ||
to look up the status of. This parameter may appear multiple times in the | ||
request if the client wishes to look up the statuses of multiple users at once. |

This looks like it will allow bulk username enumeration, which is usually considered a security flaw. Maybe it being authenticated is "OK" and being able to query for users on a homeserver isn't considered private info right now, but something feels off with being able to do it in bulk.

Yeah I agree that this can be concerning. Maybe a good compromise could be adding a limit (eg 15) to the number of users that can be looked up in a single request, and encourage homeservers to aggressively rate-limit the endpoint?

(I would like the ability to not limit appservices here, as they have more of a valid need to do bulk lookups)

Yep, this is just an avocation for keeping bulk fetching / not setting limits in the spec but allowing implementations the leeway of setting their own limits (so as not to write-out bulk lookups in the spec or anything). No limitations in the spec covers my use case :)

Ah fair enough :) Yeah the idea is very much to allow bulk lookups.

Synapse 1.54.0rc1 (2022-03-02) ============================== Please note that this will be the last release of Synapse that is compatible with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier. Administrators of servers which have the Mjolnir module installed are advised to upgrade Mjolnir to version 1.3.2 or later. Features -------- - Add support for [MSC3202](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](#11617)) - Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](#11985)) - Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](#12000)) - Implement experimental support for [MSC3720](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3720) (account status endpoints). ([\#12001](#12001), [\#12067](#12067)) - Enable modules to set a custom display name when registering a user. ([\#12009](#12009)) - Advertise Matrix 1.1 and 1.2 support on `/_matrix/client/versions`. ([\#12020](#12020), ([\#12022](#12022)) - Support only the stable identifier for [MSC3069](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3069 `is_guest` on `/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami`. ([\#12021](#12021)) - Use room version 9 as the default room version (per [MSC3589](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3589)). ([\#12058](#12058)) - Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile updates. ([\#12062](#12062)) Bugfixes -------- - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](#11992)) - Fix long-standing bug where the `get_rooms_for_user` cache was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](#11999)) - Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](#12024)) - Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted into the `event_search` table when using SQLite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an `argument of type 'int' is not iterable` error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0. ([\#12037](#12037)) - Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens in version 1.38.0. ([\#12056](#12056)) - Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](#12077)) - Fix occasional `Unhandled error in Deferred` error message. ([\#12089](#12089)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.51.0 where incoming federation transactions containing at least one EDU would be dropped if debug logging was enabled for `synapse.8631_debug`. ([\#12098](#12098)) - Fix a long-standing bug which could cause push notifications to malfunction if `use_frozen_dicts` was set in the configuration. ([\#12100](#12100)) - Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in `ReadWriteLock` that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer completes instantly. ([\#12105](#12105)) - Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](#11835)) Updates to the Docker image --------------------------- - The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](#11997)) - Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default. ([\#12112](#12112)) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - Document support for the `to_device`, `account_data`, `receipts`, and `presence` stream writers for workers. ([\#11599](#11599)) - Explain the meaning of spam checker callbacks' return values. ([\#12003](#12003)) - Clarify information about external Identity Provider IDs. ([\#12004](#12004)) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - Deprecate using `synctl` with the config option `synctl_cache_factor` and print a warning if a user still uses this option. ([\#11865](#11865)) - Remove support for the legacy structured logging configuration (please see the the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#legacy-structured-logging-configuration-removal) if you are using `structured: true` in the Synapse configuration). ([\#12008](#12008)) - Drop support for [MSC3283](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3283) unstable flags now that the stable flags are supported. ([\#12018](#12018)) - Remove the unstable `/spaces` endpoint from [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#12073](#12073)) Internal Changes ---------------- - Make the `get_room_version` method use `get_room_version_id` to benefit from caching. ([\#11808](#11808)) - Remove unnecessary condition on knock -> leave auth rule check. ([\#11900](#11900)) - Add tests for device list changes between local users. ([\#11972](#11972)) - Optimise calculating `device_list` changes in `/sync`. ([\#11974](#11974)) - Add missing type hints to storage classes. ([\#11984](#11984)) - Refactor the search code for improved readability. ([\#11991](#11991)) - Move common deduplication code down into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`. ([\#11994](#11994)) - Limit concurrent joins from applications services. ([\#11996](#11996)) - Preparation for faster-room-join work: when parsing the `send_join` response, get the `m.room.create` event from `state`, not `auth_chain`. ([\#12005](#12005), [\#12039](#12039)) - Preparation for faster-room-join work: parse MSC3706 fields in send_join response. ([\#12011](#12011)) - Preparation for faster-room-join work: persist information on which events and rooms have partial state to the database. ([\#12012](#12012)) - Preparation for faster-room-join work: Support for calling `/federation/v1/state` on a remote server. ([\#12013](#12013)) - Configure `tox` to use `venv` rather than `virtualenv`. ([\#12015](#12015)) - Fix bug in `StateFilter.return_expanded()` and add some tests. ([\#12016](#12016)) - Use Matrix v1.1 endpoints (`/_matrix/client/v3/auth/...`) in fallback auth HTML forms. ([\#12019](#12019)) - Update the `olddeps` CI job to use an old version of `markupsafe`. ([\#12025](#12025)) - Upgrade Mypy to version 0.931. ([\#12030](#12030)) - Remove legacy `HomeServer.get_datastore()`. ([\#12031](#12031), [\#12070](#12070)) - Minor typing fixes.

…ing-modules-for-ansible-self-build Synapse 1.56.0 (2022-04-05) =========================== Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate abuse across the federation. If you would like to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285), [recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html) or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) verification in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors. This check can be disabled by setting the `enable_registration_without_verification` option in your homeserver configuration file to `true`. More details are available in the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default). Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL with a non-`C` values for `COLLATE` and `CTYPE`, unless the config flag `allow_unsafe_locale`, found in the database section of the configuration file, is set to `true`. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade#change-in-behaviour-for-postgresql-databases-with-unsafe-locale) for details.

Synapse 1.56.0 (2022-04-05) =========================== Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate abuse across the federation. If you would like to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285), [recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html) or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) verification in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors. This check can be disabled by setting the `enable_registration_without_verification` option in your homeserver configuration file to `true`. More details are available in the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default). Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL with a non-`C` values for `COLLATE` and `CTYPE`, unless the config flag `allow_unsafe_locale`, found in the database section of the configuration file, is set to `true`. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade#change-in-behaviour-for-postgresql-databases-with-unsafe-locale) for details.

This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](matrix-org/synapse#11835)) Updates to the Docker image --------------------------- - The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](matrix-org/synapse#11997)) - Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default.
