# Adjusting ma1sd Identity Server configuration (optional)
|
|
|
|
By default, this playbook configures an [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server for you.
|
|
|
|
This server is private by default, potentially at the expense of user discoverability.
|
|
|
|
ma1sd is a fork of [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) which was pronounced end of life 2019-06-21.
|
|
|
|
## Matrix.org lookup forwarding
|
|
|
|
To ensure maximum discovery, you can make your identity server also forward lookups to the central matrix.org Identity server (at the cost of potentially leaking all your contacts information).
|
|
|
|
Enabling this is discouraged and you'd better [learn more](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/features/identity.md#lookups) before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
Enabling matrix.org forwarding can happen with the following configuration:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_ma1sd_matrixorg_forwarding_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Customizing email templates
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to change the default email templates used by ma1sd, take a look at the `matrix_ma1sd_threepid_medium_email_custom_` variables
|
|
(in the `roles/matrix-ma1sd/defaults/main.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ma1sd-controlled Registration
|
|
|
|
To use the [Registration](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/features/registration.md) feature of ma1sd, you can make use of the following variables:
|
|
|
|
- `matrix_synapse_enable_registration` - to enable user-initiated registration in Synapse
|
|
|
|
- `matrix_synapse_registrations_require_3pid` - to control the types of 3pid (`'email'`, `'msisdn'`) required by the Synapse server for registering
|
|
|
|
- variables prefixed with `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_3pid_registration_` (e.g. `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_3pid_registration_enabled`) - to configure the integrated nginx webserver to send registration requests to ma1sd (instead of Synapse), so it can apply its additional functionality
|
|
|
|
- `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml` - to configure ma1sd as required. See the [Registration feature's docs](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/features/registration.md) for inspiration. Also see the [Additional features](#additional-features) section below to learn more about how to use `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml`.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
[Authentication](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/features/authentication.md) provides the possibility to use your own [Identity Stores](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/stores/README.md) (for example LDAP) to authenticate users on your Homeserver. The following configuration can be used to authenticate against an LDAP server:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
# matrix-ma1sd is the hostname of the ma1sd Docker container
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_endpoint: "http://matrix-ma1sd:8090"
|
|
|
|
matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
ldap:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
connection:
|
|
host: ldapHostnameOrIp
|
|
tls: false
|
|
port: 389
|
|
baseDNs: ['OU=Users,DC=example,DC=org']
|
|
bindDn: CN=My ma1sd User,OU=Users,DC=example,DC=org
|
|
bindPassword: TheUserPassword
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Additional features
|
|
|
|
What this playbook configures for your is some bare minimum Identity Server functionality, so that you won't need to rely on external 3rd party services.
|
|
|
|
A few variables can be toggled in this playbook to alter the ma1sd configuration that gets generated.
|
|
|
|
Still, ma1sd can do much more.
|
|
You can refer to the [ma1sd website](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) for more details and configuration options.
|
|
|
|
To use a more custom configuration, you can define a `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml` string variable
|
|
and put your configuration in it.
|
|
To learn more about how to do this, refer to the information about `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml` in the [default variables file](../roles/matrix-ma1sd/defaults/main.yml) of the ma1sd component.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If email address validation emails sent by ma1sd are not reaching you, you should look into [Adjusting email-sending settings](configuring-playbook-email.md).
|
|
|
|
If you'd like additional logging information, temporarily enable verbose logging for ma1sd.
|
|
|
|
Example configuration (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_ma1sd_verbose_logging: true
|
|
```
