This method, #route_not_found, is executed as the final fallback for
unrecognized routes (as the name might imply.) We want to avoid
`#authenticate_user!` when calling `#route_not_found`;
`#authenticate_user!` can, depending on the request format, return a 401
instead of redirecting to a login page. This opens a subtle security
exploit where anonymous users will receive a 401 response when
attempting to access a private repo, while a recognized user will
receive a 404, exposing the existence of the private, hidden repo.
This change is a fairly straightforward refactor to extract the tracing
and correlation-id code from the gitlab rails codebase into the new
LabKit-Ruby project.
The corresponding import into LabKit-Ruby was in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/labkit-ruby/merge_requests/1
The code itself remains very similar for now.
Extracting it allows us to reuse it in other projects, such as
Gitaly-Ruby. This will give us the advantages of correlation-ids and
distributed tracing in that project too.
Updates specs to use new rails5 format.
The old format:
`get :show, { some: params }, { some: headers }`
The new format:
`get :show, params: { some: params }, headers: { some: headers }`
The Correlation ID is taken or generated from received X-Request-ID.
Then it is being passed to all executed services (sidekiq workers
or gitaly calls).
The Correlation ID is logged in all structured logs as `correlation_id`.
[master] Resolve "Personal access token with only `read_user` scope can be used to authenticate any web request"

In Rails 5 catches invalid UTF8 characters in querystring in a
params middleware, errors are handled by a params middleware and
raises a BadRequest exception. This means that these UTF8 errors
are not raised deeper in application stack and these can't also
be handled on application level.
If we would want to have custom handler for these errors, we would
have to create a new middleware and insert it before actionpack's
params middleware and rescue BadRequest exceptions there. But there
is no need to do this currently (see discussion on
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/51908)
Was introduced in the time that GitLab still used NFS, which is not
required anymore in most cases. By removing this, the API it calls will
return empty responses. This interface has to be removed in the next
major release, expected to be 12.0.
By default, all sessions are given the same expiration time configured in the
session store (e.g. 1 week). However, unauthenticated users can generate a lot
of sessions, primarily for CSRF verification. It makes sense to reduce the TTL
for unauthenticated to something much lower than the default (e.g. 1 hour) to
limit Redis memory. In addition, Rails creates a new session after login,
so the short TTL doesn't even need to be extended.
Closes#48101
The `errors/access_denied` page should not fail to render when no
message is provided.
When accessing something as a sessionless user, we should also display
the terms message if possible.
We have a number of import errors occurring with 422 errors, and
it's hard to determine why they are happening. This change will
surface the errors in the log lines.
Relates to #47365
When we want to show an access denied message to a user, we don't have
to hide the resource's existence.
So in that case we render a 403, this 403 is not handled by nginx on
omnibus installs, making sure the message is visible to the user.
This enforces the terms in the web application. These cases are
specced:
- Logging in: When terms are enforced, and a user logs in that has not
accepted the terms, they are presented with the screen. They get
directed to their customized root path afterwards.
- Signing up: After signing up, the first screen the user is presented
with the screen to accept the terms. After they accept they are
directed to the dashboard.
- While a session is active:
- For a GET: The user will be directed to the terms page first,
after they accept the terms, they will be directed to the page
they were going to
- For any other request: They are directed to the terms, after they
accept the terms, they are directed back to the page they came
from to retry the request. Any information entered would be
persisted in localstorage and available on the page.
When sign-in is disabled:
- skip password expiration checks
- prevent password reset requests
- don’t show Password tab in User Settings
- don’t allow login with username/password for Git over HTTP requests
- render 404 on requests to Profiles::PasswordsController
- Use `TokenAuthenticatable` to generate the personal access token
- Remove a check for `authenticity_token` in application controller;
this should've been `authentication_token`, maybe, and doesn't make
any sense now.
- Have the datepicker appear inline
- Rename the `authenticate_user_from_token!` filter to
`authenticate_user_from_private_token!`
- Add a new `authenticate_user_from_personal_access_token!` filter
- Add tests for both.
